I said the biologists at G&F are biased against hunting - They would love to have hunting stopped and let the wolves take care of our deer,elk & antelope.... They are beaurocrats with college degrees that think the know it all!!! Beaurocrat=democrat=liberal=more government=less freedom&moretaxes! I bet everyone of the biologists at G&F voted for Obama and will again! I would have to disagree 100% with you on this. I have met quite a few of the Biologist at G&F and not one of them seemed to be anti hunting or fishing. I got a nice buck last year and the both biologist that checked my deer seemed more excited than me. They both took pictures and congradulated me over and over.

that was great!!!!!!! I'm gonna watch that over and over....congrats on a great bull!

you can view them online. Just look up the forest you are interested in.

wow, A true bull of a lifetime. way to go!!! Thanks for the great story and video.

conditions are very good right now. I had been up a few times prior to the season. Rain almost every day since the 1st of August. Once the season started I had hard rain every day but four. only two days with out rain. two different times with close to four inches, one period of 22 straight hours of good rain. Mushrooms everywhere! I did not see has many big bucks as usual but did see some nice ones. I think it has been dry since the season ended so that should help you out. Good Luck!

thanks for the story. Congrats on your buck!

Congrats!!!! any buck with a bow is something to be proud of.

I Think I found the solution for everyone in the baiting debate.

How do I protect the velvet on an early season buck? what do you recommend on this one?

I used to hunt a little North of Phoenix all the time.... But then they built a development out there....I think they called it Anthem... anyway you sure don't need to go far.

I've been running every day for the last 6 weeks, and will run at lunch when I'm hunting. it helps me aclimate to the altitude. Trying to cut down on a lot of animal products and just trying to stay healthy. I leave in a week for three weeks of hunting. Can't wait!

I leave mine up all the time. But they are not on water or in places of heavy traffic. My thought is that it's not doing me any good sitting in the house...I have never had one stolen or bothered at all by humans. If one gets stolen I may change my mind but maybe not. I have 4 out now and can't wait to check them in a week.

I would not take sharpness for granted..I have gotten many new broadheads that were not as sharp as I like.

Glad to see this group get going. Good work everybody!

pretty sharp is not sharp enough. I pulled out a 8 year old package of Muzzys yesterday. I had the package open once before. I could shave with those blades with no problem. I'm not saying slick trick are bad, Just not what I want out of a broadhead. they were the best flying non mechanical head I'd shot.

I have shot slick trick and they do fly well, but try to resharpen them. Just in your quiver they get dull and they are a bear the resharpen. In fact I was sharpening today. My rage broad heads sharpen up on leather very easy. I for the life of me can not get a good edge on a slick trick. I've got a bunch of them but can't get them sharp.......I am not a novice at sharpening, my forearm has no hair on it has proof. I'm not sure if slick trick uses a different angle on their blades or what, but they do not want to get razor sharp. I'm not a big mechanical fan but I did get a nice muley last year with a rage. Was not the best hit in the world but I new it was very sharp and would work, it did the job.

Christine and I used to fish ULM at night all the time. Lots of 15lb cats back then. must of been about 1980- 84 that we did most of our fishing there. Lots of skunks on shore too.

A shop in central phx would be nice for me. if you can swing it, but times are tough. good luck! what area were you thinking of?

Here is my owl story. We had a house fire and ended up living in a rental house for a while. Our bed room was on the second floor with a little outside balcony. Every night these two great horned owls would hoot all night long from the roof. It was great for a while, but with being on call every night, and 3 small children I was getting tired of sleepless nights. One night for who knows what reason I tell Christine, watch this I'm gonna mess with these owls a little bit. I step out onto the balcony in the moonless night and make a few mouse squeaks. I had no sooner got the sound out when WACK right in the side of my head. One of the owls had flown down and hit me in the head. Christine was asking did that really happen? Another one of those times when she was asking herself, What am I doing with this dumb **s.

It's a tough deal for both sides. If G&F let this go and it became public knowledge then 1/2 the people would be on here stating that G&F does not punish their own. It was a no win situation. The commissioner did the right thing by reporting his mistake. Most people would have said no harm no foul.

I've met him a couple times, He has given me some advice that changed the way I look for game. I imagine that if I was ever going to hire a guide it would be Duwane.

where are you hunting with it? if at a water hole, dunk it in the pond. if an area where there are cattle wipe it down with cow pies. or just spread dirt on it and hose it off. if your in the desert creasote bushes have a strong smell and keep the bugs away. be creative.
