Awesome buck. Congrats!

They dont know im in the woods when im 10 yards away.killing is killing, regardless of range. Hunting is all the moments leading up to that squeeze of the trigger. At least they got a fighting chance at 10 yards. At 500 you gotta be a bull in a china cabinet for them not to notice you True. For me 90% of the fun is getting close, but everybody's got their own preference. And rifle guys dont usually have a lot of time to work with. Those week long hunts can be awfully short. Its pretty sweet having 9 weeks of archery deer season.

Congrats on your first muley. Awesome buck!

Well.... ok, but for that price you'd better throw in that thread gage thats in the pic too. And maybe a trip to the vip room at an establishment of my choosing. Thats a pretty awesome piece of history. Whered you come up with it?

Never been to bozeman, but if you like to 'people watch' you should take in the sights of the walmart on dysart rd right after the 1st of the month when they all get their ebt benefits. Its a real target rich environment for thugs and freaks.

My strings still look pretty good and I wax them every so often.. I only see some wear where the string hits the string stop but yeah its probably a good idea to change them out this year.. I try and keep them waxed and keep my bow indoors if I'm not shooting. The string I was talking about also still looked brand new. I couldnt believe it was as bad as it was. If yours is that old, check it on a bow scale. If your poundage is down, you'll know its overly fatigued and should be replaced. Another indicator is how does it feel when drawn and pulled against the stops? The wall should feel very solid, like you couldnt pull the string even another 1/8 inch if you wanted to. If the wall feels soft and spongy, this is a worn string you are feeling. A good stringis like a steel cable that holds everything together tightly and has very little give, where as one that is worn out is like an overstretched bungy cord, all kinds of extra give/slack and very spongy. One thing to note is that your string could be shot as ive described but your a.t.a. and brace height can still check out fine. The indicator would be in the draw cycle, not in the resting dimensions.

He's a biggin, that's for sure. Congrats on an awesome buck!

You buncha dang illiterate, deplorable, desperate clingers....

If its been 3 years, you are definitely due for a change. I recently swapped strings on one of mine and the bow had lost 11 # of draw weight and 26 fps arrow speed by having and old worn out string on it. If you shoot a lot, you should change it at least every year. I know a guy thats a fanatical shooter, leagues, tournaments, etc. and he changes strings every six months.

Guess he shouldnt have been bullying little guys.

I haven't looked into it real recently, but I believe you can get otc archery tags in a lot of the northwestern states like Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Never done it myself, but I plan on putting into the the colorado draw for a southwestern unit next year. Currently I'm planning on a solo trip, but if you'd be interested to partner up, let me know and we can talk about it and arrange a face-to-face meeting at some point. I just hunted in this area for the OTC gen. elk hunt this year. We got skunked on elk, but saw some amazing country and there's some real good high country bucks within 8 hours drive of phoenix.

Awesome buck. Congrats to her!

Welcome to the site darren. If you bowhunt, that tag is over the counter. I have no idea what drawing odds are like for a nonres hunter, but it is definetely doable. Theres a couple guys on this forum that come from out of state.

Nice night to be out and about.

I stole it from web. I was sitting here thinking how amazing it was Obama has made it safely thru 2 terms then I thought why would I be suprised were the sane side. So started googling.. Really made me realize how in danger Trump is so praying for he and his families safety. No doubt. These 'protesters' are just a bunch of emotionally stunted obstinate children laying on the ground screaming and kicking because their mother wouldn't buy them a candy at the grocery store. dang shame there won't be a daddy waiting for them at home with a belt in his hand.

Ive had stare downs with a couple of them. You put your hans up to look bigger than you are and yell at them and they usually turn and go pretty quickly. I would note that a bear that comes in to a call is much different than one that you just happen to cross paths with. Called bears are I. The 'hunt mode' and its harder to change their minds when theyre set on a meal. The one time I thought I might get eaten was on a bear I called in on accident when calf calling trying to photograph elk. The bears that I've just bumped into turn tail and run with little convincing. Ive yet to bump a female with cubs though, and everything I read suggests that in this situation the best course of action is to calmly sit down, place your head between your legs and kiss your arse good bye.

That bull does have some character to him. Congrats on a tough hunt!

Wow! Amazing year for sure. Congrats to all you guys, and especially to you and the wife. You're adventures have just begun, my friend.

Awesome buck Christian, congrats! Welcome home to Az and back to the site.

You fellas don't lose a wink of sleep over these handful of crybabies. The media is making it seem like there's a lot more of them than there is, that's what they do. As far as their petition, it's an online deal which means that it is absolutely worthless! You've got a hundred thousand or so liberal dumb chit college kids logging in from different phones/tablets/whatever and signing over & over & over again to get the big number they want. It means nothing to anyone, except morons who don't know anything. Everybody needs to rest up, starting on Jan 20, 2017, we're making America great again.

It's not going to happen. My understanding of it is that the vote is more symbolic than anything and that it's primary function is to select the new president IF one of the candidates fail to get the 270 electoral votes needed to win. This is the backdoor to the White House that Gary Johnson and that other yahoo from Utah were hoping to exploit. However, Trump soundly trounced her in the electoral election 290:232. The winner is clear. Now the issue these rocket scientists are raising is that 'Well Hillary won the popular vote! She's the candidate the people chose! It's not fair - whaaaa whaaaa whaaaaaaaaaaaa!' They are retards who don't understand how the system works. Our brilliant forefathers set up the best government the world has ever seen, not because it is based on the will of the people, but because it is designed specifically for the purpose of protecting individual liberty! Even way back in 1787 when the Constitutional Convention was held and this system was created they realized that if any one individual state became to big and powerful, in a popular voting system this state (or states, California & New York) could crush the rest of the country and control the political system. The electoral college is a system that maintains the strength and liberty of smaller states by protecting them from being over run. The system worked exactly as it was designed too. California and New York were stopped from stepping on the smaller states.

Hahaha of you say so. Yeah I'm real excited about him, I'm Getting him mounted Heck yeah! You have to on a deer like that.

Right on amigo. I don't know about the inches, but as far as we're concerned you just knocked down a 170 point buck. He's the highest scored entry so far this year. Unless somebody shows up with a bull elk, it'll probably stay that way too. Congrats again. I'm really happy for you, that is one awesome muley buck.

Well, when you put it like that.... Maybe things aren't so bad. Crap, now what am I going to worry about?! How the dbacks looking for next year???
