This is the elk I was fortunate enough to take in CO. It was my third day hunting and I had been getting into the elk on a sporadic basis. I was walking along and saw two bulls one 6x7 and this 4x5 after a 40 yds stalk, I was running out of cover. I was hoping to get a shot at the 6x7 but with a cow 20 yds from me, I was pinned. When the smaller bull stepped out, I took a shot. All I heard was WACK sounded like I hit the tree and the bull took three steps and moved behind a tree. While trying to get another shot, they heard spooked and ran off. I was sure I missed because of the sound, but went to check the site and found foaming blood. Went back to camp and got my cousin and we began tracking (without his help I would of not found the bull)....(and would still be packing him out) a long night made short we found him and got him completely out 24 hours after the shot. I would like to stress the importance of checking the shot site. The 100 grain wac em broadhead went through him like a hot knife in butter. Redman

Wow that was great, Redman

Here are some more pictures. I wish they would of came out better. one more one more

Colorado has OTC tags for cows and elk they have many seasons. Need to have hunter safety. Check Ebay also, I've seen hunts for sale. Redman

Teach yourself or your kid to shoot faster. While realizing they have the same right to shoot as you or your kid do. Teach your kid that those things happen when hunting and be a good role model and find another deer. Redman

Leaving tomarrow also for Colorado and I cannot wait. Less than 18 Hours. Redman

This is detailed in the hunt regs for this year. Redman

I am not sure how new you are to shooting a bow, but the best advice you can get is from an archery pro. There is a coach at PSE that gives shooting lessons. It is important to get proper form, anchor point and arrow release. Once you master these, groups at all distances will be better. Start with the basics. Watch the dead on videos, and remember, only you will know what your comfortable range is. If you review the pope and young records, animals are taken at all distances (7 - 90 yds). One of the best known bowhunters killed a coues at 69 yds. Redman

Pack or shooting sticks

Call game and fish in Tucson. They sell a map for 30b (one fo the few maps they actually sell). Redman2002

good stuff. Redman

Has your peep moved and/or has you knocking loop turned? If your knocking loop has turned then your string has stretched (which is normal to an extent). A peep moving up will also cause low shooting. Most new bows have poor strings. You should expect string stretch to slow down after a few hundred shots or, you can purchase a new string like Winners Choice or Zebra and not expect string stretch, but that also runs $50-70. Make sure your peep is not moving and give it a few more shots before replacing a string.... what brand is your bow? A stretched string can affect your shooting, cams become miss timed, knocking point changes, etc. Redman2002

Sorry to hear that, when I went into the store they were always friendly. After Jensen's closes, another good place to purchase SWAROVSKIS or Nikon optics is at the HonDah outdoors store. The prices are a little less, but no tax. Redman

I have heard about a few bad experiences from friends and have a had few myself. It is like you said they are mostly rude and act like its a burden to help you. Redman

Just checking we are talking about the New Mexico tags, I got my Arizona tag. Redman

Anybody got one yet? I still have not, unless my wife threw it in the trash. Redman

Just keep rubbing it in everybody's face that you got a Dec 32 tag Mr Buckshot. Redman

I drew the heavily coveted 30B Oct WT and my son for his first hunt drew the next highly coveted hunt, Nov 30B. It is still better to have a tag instead of no tag. Redman

I do not own a pair of Nikon's, but their warranty is the best in the business. Redman2002

see everybody on Monday or Aug 1st

I just went to the home page and in the place where the picture is now a red x appeared and the words of fall draw information was there, then the page loaded and the picture appeared with the road less info.... maybe something is happening?

2 charges for 19.50 for me. Looks like my son and I will be hunting. Where and when is now the question. I hope another charge of 78.00 comes later, but I doubt it. Redman

I was there and had a great time, saw one silver Chevy quad cab with a Coueswhitetail.com sticker on it. I would encourage any archery shooter/hunter to attend this event next year. It was great. I would only recommend that a light backpack with a rain poncho and a sweatshirt be brought. I was caught off guard on Sunday when it began to rain and temps fell in the 50's. Redman

I saw three (not in those units) on Bowsite.com and two on Ebay. Redman

another vote for the wac ems, or the copycats of G5 and the Bass Pro Shop blades that look almost exactly like the wac em. Redman
