Awesome! Great job little man!

Buck of a lifetime! Awesome! Good job.

No doubt. I have a 7" k-bar I used to carry when I was bowhunting in 27 in case a bear got ahold of me. I'm thinking I might just make that a regular part of the deer gear...

That's some crazy stuff. Glad he was able to get the job done. Wow!

Except when January comes around we will be getting the adds "looking for a long range sight out to 120 yards for my PSE Nova" I hear from a very reliable source (archerytalk.com) that if one were to shoot slick tricks, aiming becomes obsolete.... as they are heat seeking. And apparently when you hit a deer with one the hole 'looks like someone threw a baby holding a chain saw through it'. Now rages are even better. They do all of the above plus cut & package your meat for you (same resource cited).

It's not trouble. I need to get out there and start scouting for December anyway. I've only recently started to hunt out of state, but last year and this year we were helped by friendly locals and I know it can really make a big difference to a guy that's trying to figure it out from hundreds of miles away. Besides, if I don't draw an elk tag here next year, I'll be heading back to your neck of the woods, maybe we could make a trade on intel.

I've had it happen to me one time with a rifle. Told the seller I'd make the trip to pick it up. He told me he was headed part way to hunt and could meet somewhere in the middle. Plans changed a few times the next couple days then informed me that he decided to keep it for his kid. If you're not 100 percent sure of selling, don't post it. It wastes everyone's time and possibly messes up other potential deals. That's just jacked up. I'd be pretty p.o. on that one too.

This thread makes me glad I only bowhunt, that way everything is 'short range' and I don't have to worry about all that practice & ethics crap...

I have 85% 29" & 75% 29". Nothing for 27". But modules are available for $35 from any Mathews dealer (I got the 75% mods from Bear Mountain) and are super easy to install. If you want to buy them, I'll split the difference with you and knock $20 of the price. Thanks for looking. Matt

Congrats to your dad. Thats a great buck!

Love those crabclaws great buck! Congrats.

This is called parallax and most of the high power scopes I've looked at have an adjustment knob for it. When set correctly, you should be able to move your head where ever you want without the cross hair moving in the field of view.

ttt Sale is for bare bow only.

Wow! Outstanding job you two! Congrats. I cant wait to see my one of mine get their first deer. Still working on it. Way to go!

Thats unfortunate. Ive had nothing but great luck buying and selling here. What specifically are you looking for?

Wow! Incredible mount. Fantastic work!

Just shooting from my personal memory, I can remember baiting deer being legal, the use of deer urine as an attractant, and once upon a time many states had laws that made high letoff bows illegal (colorado still stops it at 80%). Laws change and as technology becomes more normal, its easy to take some things away and allow others.

Technology is constantly making the impossible seem easy. A couple more years and youll see digital scopes with all the ranging, environmental measuring calculating built in. You wont even have to touch the turret, youll just have to change the battery when it dies. Then 1000 yards will be a chip shot and people will be griping about the unethical aholes shooting at 2000.

Ive taken three deer out of that unit with my bow. Like others have stated, get off the road. I usually pack in for a couple nights at a time and never see anyone on my ridge. Its not a unit that has a ton of deer, but theres enough to have a real good chance at success. If you get a couple days in and are having difficulties, get in touch with me. Its a long drive, hate to see you go home empty handed.

Ive got 4 or 5 boxes of once fired remington brass in my closet that I want gone. If somebody has a use for it, come get it, otherwise its going in the recycle bin this weekend. Thanks. matt

Sorry, they are gone already. Thanks.

Sorry, im out in avondale. About 15 minutes away from cabelas.

Nice picture! Those bears can't leave anything alone.

Best deer I ever ate from Arizona was a little mule deer forky from the white mountains shot at about 8500 ft. Since I'm not allowed to out anything else on the wall unless its bigger than the 4x4 thats already there, you give me the choice between a 3 point and a forky or spike, I'll be packing out the little guy.
