  1. Anyone ever seen or heard of any bear activity in the beaver creek area? I know people talk about the stoneman lake area for bear and beaver creek is only 7 miles or so south of that. I was just wondering, because I was there a few days ago and noticed crap loads of prickly pears in the canyons there. Also found some berries growing on some bushes. I plan on hunting a bit more north of this, but I was just curious.

    If you have someone to go with that is key, especially if you are going in August. Unless a very small bear, you will not be able to pack it out in one trip. If it takes multiple trips the higher the likelihood of spoilage.

    ...especially if you shoot it across a steep, rugged canyon that takes you several hours to navigate across!

    Yeah, I am really hoping that I can find a good spot in the high country where I can set up a tree stand to get the job done a bit closer, haha. I will for sure hunt the prickly pears if I have to though.


  3. No problem. My buddy has a bow shop and should have the new bow (Knight) in by July 8th. As of right now Bowtech still has not told him much about it either as they are keeping it very quite till the release of it. But when he gets more information on it and if it is going to replace the Assassin I will let you know if you would like.

    That would be awesome. Thanks a ton!


  4. I shot that bow last year and loved it. Like said above the rest and sight are not the best but will get you by. I changed my rest to a QAD pro hunter and gained 13 FPS. My setup was at 70lbs and at 28' and I shoot a 400 grain arrow and it would shot it at 298 FPS. It is a great bow for the money and has a solid back wall. You might want to wait till July to get one though as Bowtech is getting ready to release a new bow called the Knight. Not sure what it is going to be but rumors are it could be a mid-level bow or possibly replace the Assassin. if that the case then you might be able to get a great deal on the Assassin. Not trying to start any rumors but it might be worth waiting to see what it is since it should be released in about two weeks.

    Thanks for the heads up!! I will keep my eyes out!
