in reply to: What draw weight would you recommend? #47238

I like a 55 pound bow, for a one bow that will cover a lot of game animals, and that was before I found out about heavy broadheasds and foc. You might want to give some information about your size, physical condition.

in reply to: Stacking fixes? #44699

The ML10 is 60 lbs @ 28″ and I hunt with a Bob Lee Rrecurve that is 65 lbs @ 31″.

My draw is about 30″ the Bob Lee is easy for me to hold at full draw, the martin feels like it hits a wall the last two inches or so.

I guess it will stay in retirement.

Thanks, JD

Last September in the airport heading home from an elk hunt I met a guy from Florida or at least he owned property in Florida. He hunted alot and all over (a compound shooter), but back on his property he had a really bad hog problem. He told me (and I belive him) that he went through six dozen arrows killing hogs. he had a spot he would drag them to with a tractor, feeding many buzzards. It seemed like a waist to me, but I’ve heard hogs can run off deer, and all of his food plots were being wiped out.

I don’t care for his personality, I have to wonder if its an act. But compared with the Peta wackos, he not all that evil.

In September of 2010 I hunted alone for elk in Wyoming.

Near the end of the trip I see some movement up ahead of me, two small brown things runing towards me, the first second I thought that it was peccarys, then moma griz came into view, hump and all I froze they dissapeared into a dip in front of me.

I tucked into the nearest juniper, they came back into sight but now they thanfully were about 40 yards downhill from me. passed on by without seeing me.:lol: I think see had caught wind of me and was getting her cubs out of there. I’m glad I didn’t come across one before light.

Jafjap,

I live in Mechanicsville, VA near Richmond, about two hours west of Virginia Beach. I don’t know of any taditional archery shops around but there is plenty of deer around to hunt. The dismal swamp has a funny early season but the rest of the bow season normally starts the first week of Oct.

HIt me up.

I’m going to try three under a bit, but I’ll have to really see some crazy good accuracy, I live with some finger pinch

The hard part is my brain after 33years or more split.

in reply to: Hunting Help!?!?!?!? #17288

I’ve told other guys that if they dream of going and keep putting if of it will never happen.

I tell them to pick an area with alot of public land and over the counter tags. Fly out and go camping and scouting first. Just bring a camera and save money on the tag.

If your unsuccesfull in finding elk or the terrain is to physical your not out much cash. If you do find elk, you could have your bow/arrows ect. shipped nextday air to you, and buy a tag, and head back into the wilderness and hunt.

I have yet to kill a bull elk (buck fever on the first bull I ever saw, a foot over his back @25yds) but my pal Paul has killed 3, I have passed up some cows due to the cost of shipping.

in reply to: Is camo necessary? #16091

I would have loved to have camo boxers that hot October day, I had stripped of my shirt, and felt better so I slipped of my pants but the boxers were white. So I took them off also.

Well about thrity minutes later I see movement and here comes a game warden!! I be he still tells the story the the crazy naked guy with a long bow up in a tree!

Young squirrels around hear are good for the pot but the big old squirrels are not worth shooting.

in reply to: Hunting Help!?!?!?!? #16076

I fly every year, thats why I got a take down bow. I have thought about flying into Durango getting a cab to town. Stay near the Durango Silverton Railway, they have a ticket where they will drop you off and pick you up days later if you wait by the tracks. I have not done this! I always rented a truck, but thought it would be fun.

in reply to: Cover scent! #16039

I didn’t tell local authoritys about the skunk one of my dogs killed. I took a short peice of twine with a slip not and a stick got the twine around its head and dragged it down into the woods behind the house. another dog, a treeing walker coonhoud got sprayed while I had him out one night, I heard him yelp, then I heard him trailing and then he treed a coon. Less than ten minutes had passed. I don’t know how he could smell through all the skunk.
