      in reply to: Quiver options #14790

      I had the same problem as you, and I spent too dang much money on quivers just trying to find the one. Haven’t found it yet, but the one I own now is probably as close as I can get. Its the Bow Mate Elite Quiver, and as far as I know you can only get it at 3 Rivers. Reasons I like it are…

      1) Comfortably holds 5-6 arrows even with large fletch.

      2) With cap installed is waterproof and keeps fletch nice and dry.

      3) It is ambidextrous.

      4) Has a pocket large enough to hold all the stuff I need to dress out and care for a Deer.

      5) It is quiet and stiff, not bending like most side quivers.

      6) Can be worn with a day pack or fanny pack.

      7) It is light for its size.

      What don’t I like about it?

      1) It will damage fletching if I try to squish to many in for too long a period.

      All in all it is a damn good quiver.

        Well it looked like you found some Bear sign for sure. Can’t imagine chasing Bears where there is cactus, thats too cool.

        What is the average size of the Bears in your area?

          Great pics, great story, great day!

          I just wish we had snakes like that up here. All we got is Garter Snakes, and even if we could kill them, they are too small for eating. The snake in your pic looked decent portion wise, and the snake I have eaten before was excellent.

            Dave I have seen yellow jackets do the same thing up here as well. I always figured they were congregating on a food source of some sort. But since your wasps returned to the same twig twice, it seems unlikely that food is the reason.

              I can’t exactly remember the name (Wyondotte?) but 3 Rivers sells a do it yourself back quiver kit that is pretty good.

                  You sir are truly addicted. Fortunately for you I am an enabler. I’ll take two please, 40#-45#, I’ll let you work out the rest :wink:.

                      in reply to: Why do you hunt #11417

                      Like scout said “because I have to”.

                      Todays no rush, just hurry the hell up world is suffocating. A hundred thousand little (and big) worries bombard me (and likely you) every day, and the only time I can say ENOUGH is when I am outside living the way I wish I could live, be it either hunting, fishing, or just a walk in the woods.

                      When I hunt or fish, food isn’t my ultimate quarry. I hunt for peace.

                        That is just sick! I heard he was catching flak over the lion hunt, but to be dismissed because of it…

                          Lots of Grouse where I hunt and I manage to bag a few every year. As far as flight shooting goes, kinda thinking flu-flus and big 3 blades (160 grain Snuffers) would give you the best chances for bringing down birds. I plan on giving Geese/Duck on the wing a try this year. Will have to see how it goes.

                                in reply to: New to bow hunting… entirely #55700

                                I have been exactly where you are. Decided a few years ago that the rifle was too easy, and after seeing an add with a longbow in it decided to go that route. I hadn’t even seen a tradbow (outside of movies) let alone handled one, and didn’t know anyone who shot one either.

                                To make this transition as easy as possible, I recommend picking up a couple books. The ones that have helped me the most are…

                                Stalking and Still-Hunting by G Fred Asbell

                                Instictive Shooting By G Fred Asbell

                                The Traditional Bowhunter’s Handbook by TJ Conrads

                                Beginner’s Guide to Traditional Archery by Brian Sorrels

                                These four books shaved months off my learning curve, and still prove invaluable on a day to day basis.

                                I would also suggest you join your local range and/or bowhunting organisation. There are likely numerous folks at both locations who would more than glad to help you out.
