    Do they email this to you? If they do how do I get on this list?

    I was just in Brunos and bought my one box of LR match primers. There is a sign up sheet at the checkout counter for your Email, can not remember how I got on the list might have been from the sign up. When I walked out they had just put up a dozen more bricks of primers on the shelf.

    Done several 3+ mile pack outs. Breakdown was filleting shoulders off rib cage, carving hams off the pelvis and running knife along top of spine and down the ribs to fillet out backstrap. Skin and saw off the boney ends of the legs. On a good cargo pack lay a ham cross ways on the bottom of the cargo platform and lay a shoulder above it on the pack frame. Meat was wrapped in cloth elk bags and lashed to the frame. I would leave the bone in to expose less meat to the air and it made for a load that I could lash down & did not just slump to bottom of pack. It would take at least two loads to do, but still have your camp gear if you backpacked in. Having convenient terrain/trail for pack out made my trips easier to do. Older and wiser now and would arrange a packer to drop me off and come back and pack out or just arrange a pack out ahead of time.

    Good for you, good challenge!  I started bowhunting with a Bear Grizzly when I was 15.  I have never shot a longbow, but know quite a few folks that like them and swear they are much smoother than a recurve.  I'd find a shop that sells trad equipment and has a range if possible, shoot both.  

    Trad equipment will definitely put the challenge back into bow hunting.  Good luck and have fun with it!

    My 31 year old son just went through this process. I was going to suggest a Bear Grizzly around 50#-45# but he went with a budget priced takedown recurve carried by his local archery shop. He is starting with 30# limbs and figured he can move up in weight as his form and confidence build. He is enjoying it and happy he chose trad over compound. Once you get the weight bow that you can shoot well with its just a matter of the right length/spine arrow. I shot a recurve and a reflex/deflex semi long bow for several years. Maybe the long bow was smoother but enjoyed shooting both bare bow. After a couple seasons hunting with them I switched to traditional black powder round ball ML. Spot and stalk with a 60-100 yard effective range was much nicer.
