I need some 50 grainers for elk season.

15's aren't the best for elk. It depends on where you're hunting though. If you're trying to penetrate shadows to glass a bedded bull in a late Hunt in 23 or 27 etc then maybe, but for getting on a big hill and picking up ruttjng elk in the cedars 10's will find you more elk and a spotter will help you judge them better. Then you gotta look at what you're after. If its your first archery hunt and you're just looking for a branch antlered bull you'll be able to make that decision through your tens. If you have a early rifle tag and need to know if the last 3" is chipped off a bull at two miles then you'll need a spotter.

I had a buddy who out one on his muzzy. It was a CVA so we never got it to actually go off enough times to test it out. (Stay AWAY from CVA's and traditions guns!!!). It wasn't very clear an had really bad edge distortion but I think the reticle was a sound concept.

They will email you if you drew. Kinda takes the fun out of opening up the results page

Will you come to North Dakota? I've got all sorts of bearings that need replacing on my farm equipment!!!

So when I put in the landowner deer tag it lets me put it in my cart. So that might be good news for you guys! I put in for the 2 units for deer so I very likely didn't draw. I put that I wanted a refund if I didn't draw a tag and it's showing that I purchased a tag on 4/19/2014, it even lets me go in to print it off. This may mean I drew something, although if the "backdoor" really works, I didn't draw oryx, ibex, barbary or deer since I tried those and it let me add them to my cart. Potentially I drew elk or antelope then?

If you're getting accuracy out of the straight fletched ones then stick with it. If you have a bow that is slightly out of tune then helical will stabilize it quicker but it comes at a cost. That centrifugal force he is talking about doesn't come from nowhere, it robs energy from the arrow thus causing the change in trajectory. It also makes them louder in air.

It's the helical. More drag. It matters.

You may want to double check the legality of that gun since it has a rifle built in. My dad used to have one in 222/20ga. It was the ultimate turkey gun in SD as rifles are legal. They hang up at 150, flip it over to 222 and smoke em. But in az that may not be a legal weapon.

This was in 27. First time for me applying there.

How'd you get two tags Bob? Didn't know you could do that in ND?

She thought it was pretty cool!

You are wrong. The Hopi tags are good for the whole unit. It depends on which hunt you're applying for. You have to read the notes. One of those on the leftover list appears to be the "Hopi Hunt in East Sunset, West Sunset, Meteor Crater, Twin Arrows, Two Guns, and Grapevine Hunt Areas in Units 5A and 5B North" That hunt is definitely not for the whole unit - read notes 4 and 6. I guess I'm wrong! I stand corrected!!

You are wrong. The Hopi tags are good for the whole unit.

What hunt? There's a big difference between the early and late hunts.

Are you talking about the Hopi tags that are leftover? No, the 3 4a general bull tags. Those are Hopi tribal tags. They give tribe members first crack at em and if they don't take all of them they turn them over to the leftover draw. What i wouldnt give to be part Hopi! You and 19,874 people can send a letter in and try to get one now. Good luck!

Those dirty suckers!!!! I got all worked up when I saw that and checked and they weren't up. They really are pulling heart strings this year!!!

As long as you only use a spear or longbow for archery season.

Do you really need 10?

It borders unit 12. Big bulls in 12 but like unit 2 it is checkerboarded so access is difficult

That's an awesome bull!

My self and my family have tc encores. They really shoot well. They come with fiber optic sights, but a peep sight is better through my eyes. Look into power belt bullets. They aren't the best bullet out there when you compare em to sabots, but the are legal in CO. It's either that or the old school Great Plains bullets. Also there's no pellets allowed so you need to use loose powder. I would strongly suggest blackhorn 209 as it is far superior to pyrodex (garbage IMO). It's a fun hunt, if you're drawing a unit that takes less then 10 pts to draw, shoot the first legal bull you see. Colorado is not a trophy state, even the best units in co (that take 15-20 pts) don't have the quality of bulls that even the worst AZ unit does. It's still a fun hunt, the raghorns think they're herd bulls (cuz they are) and bugle their tails off. Just don't expect a big one, if you shoot a 6pt you are in the top 1% of bulls that come out of there. My dad hunted the same muzzleloader unit for 15 years in co, they took 5 guys a year and shot atleast 4 bulls a year (they took 60 some bulls out of there over the years) and the largest one was a 260 5 pt. Have fun, enjoy the fact that you get to chase bugling bulls with a firearm and smoke one!

Haha. In all seriousness, if I were making a major purchase at BPS in the very near future, I would certainly take you up on it and I'm sure there are other guys out there like me. This isn't Craigslist or backpage, this is CWT.com, people help people out. The fact of the matter for me is, I hate BPS and don't ever spend money there. Hope you can work something out with someone

It doesn't give an option to put in under an outfitter for ibex and sheep if I remember right, not sure how they're gonna allocate that 10% of the tags if there are no peoe that applied under an outfitter. All around this is total BS
