    Iso a left handed compound bow

    Right handed bows are usually for people right eye dominant. If your right handed and left eye dominant you should use a left hand bow unless you're comfortable shooting with your non dominant eye.

    Lion unit?

    Maybe it's their diet at the time. Don't think I'd want to puncture the stomach of a cat that's been eating javelina.

    Late Hunt - Rutting???

    Awe man that sucks
  5. Mike, sent you a PM. Coues are often found the top quarter of a ridge. They won't necessarily bed in the bottoms (But they could). Any northwest facing slope is essentially a bedding area. At first lite glass everywhere but start with the southeast facing slopes. As it warms up about 8ish deer will work there way to shade so start glassing towards the shady areas. Finding patches of mountain mahogany will help as well since that should be a food source in January. Make sure to dig up some old threads on glassing.

    new to shed hunting, advice?

    I've only found three sheds. One elk, one Muley, one Coues. So I'm no expert however if you have a general idea of where the target animal should be during the shed period walking fence lines would be a good start. As far as the Bab sheds I think are found lower not higher for the most part. I heard the guy from Muley crazy has an ultralight that he flies around the bab and strip with and sends GPS cords. To guys on the ground. I'm curious to here others on this as it's something I've wondered about myself. Problem is it's so dang competitive now it's like a pissing contest.

    Sneaky feets

    Not into going in with just socks. Trying to find a better way just to slip something over my boots but for white meow... Fishin shoes from amazon some carpet scrap and some shoe goo. Downside is I now need some fishin shoes.

    Sneaky feets

    Depends on the terrain, I can cover more distance quicker and quieter with these though. Where they really shine though is when the ground is frozen and kind of crumbly and sounds crunchy.

    They were on hand at the time.

    Sneaky feets

    No. But that's something I want to figure out how to do.

    Is this archers paradox or bad form?

    Depending on arrow rest could be something as simple as the nock turned and fletchings are hitting it.
  13. Been watching videos on broadhead and nock tuning arrows. Do the pre boxed and fletched arrows come with the fletching and nock tuned to the arrows spine? I'm down to one good flying arrow and want to do my own with the true helical fletchings but I'm short on time.

    Pre fletched arrows question

    What combo are you running that you like?

    Hey contractors..

    Couple things.. In need of some granite fabricating guys in Sierra Vista or tucson that would be willing to do jobs in cochise county. Also looking into finding some hookups, places that might have better deals on product than home depot or lowes. I do bank owned remodels to put back on market, most are complete rehabs. Pretty much everything from kitchens, bathrooms, ceiling fans, receps, paint, flooring. I understand HD and lowes get a lot of factory seconds when it comes to things like tile.. Looking into prosource right now, seems like they could be good. I found some places that have pre fab granite tops to which is cool but I've never done it myself. Also need to thin the herd with some better guys I think. if anyone knows guys lookng for work. Trying to train guys to take over when I move where they would have a peice work rate and then get a percentage of each job as an incentive so there is definately room to move up. Thankis, Kev

    Do you cut it up similar to a deer?

    Iso a left handed compound bow

    First verify whether he is left eye dominant. My buddy is right handed but is left eye dominant.

    Take a sharpie and mark the arrow. See if it's the same one everytime.

    Interesting mix

    Cool Muley in the first pic

    Lion unit?

    Ed, I'm told they are good eating but stink something awful as soon as you cut them open. Have you found that to be true?

    Here we go

    This pretty much sums it up. I dont quite see it as 100% back down but still, it is necessary to be smart about the pics we post. Posting pictures of deer or even bloody pics is one thing, a "pile" of dead animals is a whole other story. A pile of dead animals depicts us as bloodthirsty not as conservationists. Think of it like this, we're all debating about ways to educate the public and increase hunter recruitment. Taking tasteful pics rather than distasteful ones is a small FREE way we can do that.

    New to this game, could use some advice

    Since you got the 15s and tripod really learn the technique. Dig up some threads on how to glass and where to glass etc. Also I always recomend taking Duwane Adams glassing class. It's money well spent. Ask him about food sources, water sources etc. He's already forgotten more then I'll ever learn and a heck of a nice guy. I took his class and it shaved years off of what I could have found out on my own. It has actually saved me money. Also figure out what type of terrain you want to hunt and what animal, Muley or Coues. Muley may be a little easier starting out but maybe not. I live in 35A, mostly rolling oaks and grassland so pretty stalkable terrain. Unit 23 though for example has mile wide canyons with thick nasty cover. Setting up mineral licks and sitting a blind in the summer for hours on end would be my approach there. Another thought, go get a couple leftover pig tags. Great practice for deer and sticking one will be a great confidence booster. If you get a tag in 35a, or 30b I can point you in a good direction. Good luck. Oh, and as far as how to make a move. Generally guys will glass them at first lite watch them until they bed and then make a move. Typically by then the thermal currents will be pushing the wind / scent uphill so the approach is go waaaaayy out of sight go around the hill behind them and come up and over on top of them. Having a device to mark there location like a gps is a HUGE help here. Also dont discount high foot traffic areas. I have two go to spots that have lots of trails with birdwatchers, tree huggers, mountsin bikers, hikers, hunters etc. Youd be surprised at how used they are to people going near them without bolting. One of the advantages is you can use the trails to quickly make a move much more quietly then you could without a trail.

    SOLD: Weatherby .300winmag trade?

    Any interest in a Rem 700 in 243?
  24. They should have sad music in the background and show pictures of thirsty animals too.
