Heat

What is sad is if there is no conviction this will likely just go to the wildlife assets auction and anyone can buy it, including possibly the a hole that shot it in the first place.

NICE!!!

I find this odd. I have used a Wells Fargo Credit Card basically every time I have applied except once when I did not want to get drawn and I have never had a single issue and I have drawn plenty of tags. Are you using a Credit Card or a Visa Debit Card?

Guy on another site was on an elk hunt in New Mexico. They were walking a narrow slot canyon that looked perfect for an ambush. His buddy points out a tree that just stood out and said, I bet that's where a mountain lion ambushes stuff. Ground squirrel jumps out and scares the crap out of him as they walk by it. Next evening after sundown, dark outside they are approaching same tree. Inspect with flashlights for a few seconds when dude says he was literally about to bust his buddies balls when a big mountain lion went shooting out of the tree, up the wash in front of them. Guess dude's spidey sense was on point!

Great job guys and an extra congratulations to the young man on his first archery bull elk! That is so cool! Nice fronts on that bull. That is a shooter any day in my book.

I'm just going to leave this here. Take a look at the pics on page 1 of this earlier thread. Does a certain bull look familiar to anybody else?

Keep working and good things will happen. Good Luck man!

Dang, that is a giant! Way to go man!

His net score is going to hurt because of the lack of symmetry. I would guess he is 140 or so. Gross probably add at least 10, maybe 15.

Phenomenal! Thanks for sharing man, you both did good.

Thats pretty cool about the donation to the hatchery to produce Gila trout for stocking into Mogollon Rim waters.

Sounds like he's good to go to me.

That's really cool Roy! Congrats amigo!

I'm not a "Waterfowler" but I do like duck in the pot. One of my old spots is filling with water as we speak. Hopefully I can get out and whack a few! Good Luck!

I would look at Ebay. There are a lot of old bows floating around on there where you can get a pretty good deal on a bow unless its a highly collectable item. Something like an older Bear Kodiak, Grizzly or Super Kodiak is good. Lots of others like Howatt, Pearson, Shakespeare, Browning, Wing, etc. Other options to shop are ArcheryTalk Classifieds, Bowsite's Leatherwall Classifieds, FootedShaft, TraditionalArcherySales, and the grand daddy RockyMountainSpecialtyGear. Sounds like you are on the right track on weight. Get some properly spined arrows and let it rip! Good Luck Man. Be careful though, traditional bows are kind of addicting. I got one just to have as a backup for my main bow and now I have 5 of the darn things and I'm always on the hunt for something else to add to the stash. I saw this one tonight. I had to resist. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Bear-Archery-Grizzly-Recurve-Bow-45lb-Grayling-Mich-Very-Clean/323927083673?hash=item4b6b8f0a99:g:s2oAAOSwP0RdippA

I killed a decent buck there in 2012 on January 2nd during the archery season. It is my first and only muley buck with a bow. It was super windy that day and it had the deer all messed up. I was able to approach to around 60 yards then waited for a doe to get up and move, taking the buck with her giving me a 40 yard broadside shot. I hit him slightly high and back but still got both lungs. He ran about 150 yards and hit the dirt. I was a happy camper! I was about a mile and a half from the truck so it was a pain in the butt to pack out the first load but I had help with the rest.

Right on, bet she won't be forgetting about that shot anytime soon!

This is clearly all for her own edification and self promotion. If she was really trying to help, she would learn Mandarin and Hindi and tell it to those 3rd world countries that don't give a rats butt about environmental laws.

Diesel fouling tanks, 5 hits no recovery, shots fired...what the heck is wrong with people? All this over elk? I love the dang things as much or more than most guys but I will give it all up before I stoop low enough to pull any of that nonsense! People have no respect for anything anymore. All they care about is that dang Instagram pic it seems. I don't know if its social media and instant access to info so we just know more about these incidents now or if there are really that many bungholes out there. Its despicable none the less!

Well now don't I feel stupid, LOL!

Thanks for the footage Trphyhntr! Sweet sights and sounds for an elkoholic without a tag! I'm hoping for a little late rut action in 23 for my wife's hunt.

I would say it's worth a shot man if the bugs are bad. Didn't have any issues on my deal, but that can certainly change from spot to spot, and time of year.

I drove right up to mine.
