    What type of shot should I expect? Archery

    I know all these awesome dudes out there shooting 80+ for elk but too many variables for me. One step at that distance after you let the arrow fly that’s a 3’ change in target. Then you have wind and adrenaline and deflections and everything else. I’ve killed 8 archery elk between 18 and 52 with several in the 40-45 range that seems to be the sweet spot for me anyway. Like AZ said shoot 60 so 30 and 40 feels like a lay up. Make sure to practice split distances (like 35 and 45) and from your knees would be my advice. good luck!

    unit 1 closes today

    I've sent an email or two with suggestions including the idea of 3pt on one side or better. The reply was that all the data they have recovered from other states doing this is (as you would expect) a much higher rate of 'non recovered' deer and no real help to the quality of bucks. I would love to see them try it in a unit or two for 2-3 years and prove that. If you condense it to one unit, you could really pound the message to those tag holders, gates, message boards etc - that this is a test zone, we will be patrolling (I know haha) at a higher rate, fines are doubled, we are counting on you to make this test a success (one way or the other), if you don't want to be included, don't put in for this unit etc etc etc.. and see what happens. Pick a southern over hunted coues unit (one of the 36s) and one of the over archery hunted units like 1. Add a body or two to patrol (make it a seasonal non LE role or something) and give it a go. I've sent the same suggestion for immediate catch and release during March and April. Prove me to that pulling females and protecting males from the nest during the most critical period and put them in a box for 5 hours and release at the other end of a lake doesn't have a negative impact on the fishery. Our fisheries are good - but I have to believe they could be so much better if we allow nesting fish to get back to their nest. The technology is there for the tournaments to adjust MLF style. Pick 2 lakes and give a go for 2-3 years.

    My thought too that is why I was surprised on the take above. Has to be saving dozens of deer in those units (1, 27, 20a) and then saving a few here and there for seed in most of the others.

    Interesting takes... I was of the uneducated opinion that the 1.5 year olds were getting killed at the same or almost same rate anyway plus a total higher % of deer before trail cam ban and harvest objective making both beneficial to overall deer and quality of deer in the state in just a few years. You are saying the rush to get it done in 'your unit' is adding to the kill the first thing I see because I don't have any patterned and I need to get it done before it closes vs those tags going unfilled?

    Hunt 26 MDT savage LA

    Debated on the Ultra Elite (with this stock but folder version) or the KLYM (with the carbon/3d FBT stock). Ended up with the KLYM and really like but this MDT stock sure felt good. Next year maybe. GLWS

    Mayor of Mesa

    Yeah the inflation caused by trump comment confused me. I’m not a smart person and I’m sure impact of things done years ago linger but I had one job and money in my pocket 4 years ago, today I have two and have to question every expense. Utilities are up 30%, car insurance almost doubled, gas almost doubled, taxes up around 15% and then ofcourse cost of goods If that’s trumps fault from 4+ years ago then I guess Joe telling me how great our economy is actually correct and I really am confused.

    I also love how the 'democracy is at stake' slogan is coming from the party that didn't allow their constituents to hear from or select their nominee - not once, but twice. Not to mention lying to the public for 6+months about old joe until they couldn't hide it anymore and time to sweep him under the rug. I guess none of those things matter either.. as long as I can kill my kid and smoke dope - I'm good!

    Yeah but he's also against killing your kid and having pot heads and illegals rule the country.... can't have that kind of thinking

    Always thought this was an interesting view - can zoom all the way to your voting local - the population centers of course decide the election but sure paints a different picture... https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/upshot/2020-election-map.html
  14. 6-7 years old. Runs good but could use some tlc to tune. 2 cycle. Needs new head if using as a weedeater and grip is deteriorating. If using just the motor obviously not a concern. josh 480-369-4923 warner and valvista.

    New Rules starting 8-10-24

    Thanks for posting and yeah I keep trying to understand the point of this one... Are people out there with those big satellite looking things they use on the sidelines - trying to hear deer snore? Confused on this one.

    LTB Winchester 250

    Looks like the fancier version. I only checked Hogisland and Numrich real quick as I was looking for another part, but others may have the plainer version if that is what yours is.. If not, keep looking back, they buy broken lots of guns all the time and part them out. I just found a rear sight I have been looking for for nearly 30 years for an old savage 101 of my dads...

    BPS is the new "Mall" to me. I used to go the mall 1x per year around Xmas time and now I don't go at all. For the last 2-3 years I go to BPS 1x per year around Xmas time. I would imagine this year or next, not at all.
