Thanks for the good advice. Ive been looking at them online and they all seem a little too light duty for Arizona.

I think those critters are one of the coolest animals on the planet. Someday I hope to tag one myself, congratulations to you daughter.

in my opinion that any branch antlered bull on a late archery hunt is a trophy. I've had a few late archery bull hunts in my life and have yet to connect on a bull. Hopefully that will change this year we will see. Congrats AZbowhuntr that is a great bull during any season much less a late archery hunt.

I said Id comply with the regs just because Im that guy who always gets caught. And Id rather spend my time hunting or doing whatever Im doing then wasting it with some over achiever from a gov't agency. I saw forest service a few times this summer when I was out. Had a buddy questioned and accused of driving on closed roads because his truck fit the description of one that was reported doing so (his truck was white). This was all in Kiabab NF. Im a tent camper so I guess Im free to camp as far from the road as I can pack my wall tent. Ill just have to leave my pick-up in the bar ditch to get pelted with rocks and dust.

So after giving in to the urging of my peers and the hype on TV. I thought Id try some Rage expandables this year. Bought two packs 6 total heads. Only four of them are worthy of being sent down field at anything other than a Jackrabbit. The other two have so much wobble in them that I doubt they'd even hit where I'm aiming. None of my buddies have ever had any issues like this. So I'm wondering... is this the type of quality I can expect from Rage or did i just buy the only two packs that quality control missed?

A good start is quite an understatement! Looks like an amazing start to me, and much more to come. You are very blessed. Good luck with the rest of the season.

My first thought was the insert as well (since I did them myself ) but the two heads in question were bad no matter what shaft i put them in. Im going to take bonecollectors advice and give them a call today, who knows i might get lucky.

I have a late archery hunt this year and can say without hesitation that any elk whose even thought about growing antlers will be on my hit list. As for a late rifle hunt well... for myself it would be difficult to pass up any branch antlered bull.

I too will continue to comply, as I have all summer long. Leaving my boot tracks on top of the quad tracks and truck tracks from the day before. I HATE the new travel management plans but I just know that ONE time I bend the rules a bit the forest cops will be right there.

Thats a lonnnnnng ride on a Rancher with those brow tines poking you in the kidneys the whole way

Unfortunatly this is the hunting world we live in now. I have to admit I worry about my trail cams all the time and I lock up everything I possibly can when I leave camp. Seems like a rare thing anymore when you can even get another hunter to wave when you pass by their camp. Ive been complaining about this for a long time but it just seems to be getting worse.

Ive been patiently waiting for the new site... and it was well worth it. Amanda, its no accident that CWT is the best hunting related website out there.

Theres been much discussion on this topic already. Kaibab and Prescott NF's have had there travel restriction plans out for sometime. I believe Coconino just rolled theirs out this spring. Kiabab has been posting roads and even put up large signs saying that there is a travel mngmet plan in place and to refer to the map. I believe Prescott has done the same however most of the places i travel in the Prescott NF have remained open. This whole thing frustrates the he77 out of me, and it really only hurts those of us who abide the plan anyway. From my first hand accounts it has done very little to stop the road use in Kaibab NF around Williams. Even roads with obvious road closed signs on them are still being well traveled. I'm betting WalMart is going to sell a heck of alot of moountain bikes this fall! haaaaaa

Good luck to everyone out there enduring the heat. Can't wait to see some success photos soon.

effen gourgeous.

I have two buddies that I hunt with and both are WAAAYYY better hunters/outdoorsmen than me can't say that anything they do really annoys me. I count my self lucky just to get to tag along with them. One of them is not on this site so thankfully you all wont have to read his list of the things that I do that annoy him. On the other hand Skeeter IS here and when he sees this thread I'm sure he'll get carpal tunnel syndrome before he fihishes his list of annoyances.

WOW! perfect.

I know the feeling brother. I'm going to be after a bull in unit 8 in November with my bow.

That is the one of the best bison mounts I've ever seen. Excellent work!

I got a slight increase in speed. Its difficult to say if I got better groups because I practice with broadheads anyway so i normally shoot 5 arrow groups into 5 spots on a target. I like the consitancy of the product as opposed to traditional fletching. They are way more durable then youd think. Ive got a couple that have outlasted a shaft or two in their lifespan. I dont have a problem with them popping off in the field (which was an original concern of mine). Ive even shot broken or cracked ones that fly just fine. just my 2 cents.

$25 Plano plastic bow case from WalMart bungeed to the front rack. protects the bow and whatever else you can cram in there.

The desire to hunt was inside me from a very early age. I would hunt everything from frogs to sparrows with my trusty BB gun. Though my dad is the one who took me hunting and fishing. He didn't really teach me much about the game we pursued or how to do it. As I grew older I have to admit the small amount of skill I have was either self taught or gleened from my hunting buddies. To this day my dad still doesnt understand why I waste my time and money archery hunting or applying for bull tags. Even still thanks dad for taking me.

Ive been shooting these for about 4 years now. I think they're great. I have not noticed them to be any louder than traditional fletchings. I especially like the way they perfom downrange and in windy conditions.

My goal number one for this upcoming season is to harvest a bull during November with my bow. Goal number two is to run an arrow thru a nice mulie next month. After that Id like to find some time to get out and glass for bears and then start getting serious about varmint hunting.

Starting to get into the 3d stuff and looking for a good deal on a hip quiver. Thanks.
