Looks like a great trip, awesome!!

Congrats Conor on the Promotion. I need to send Braedon down there during the summer the next few years.

I was lucky enough to be invited for a few days to fish a couple weeks ago in WY, We have a great time every year and catch some very good fish. This year the fish seem to be a little better than last years fish. Couple pics. Lots of color and great kype

If you think you are a better hunter because you wear Kuiu, First Lite or Sitka you have it all wrong. That being said Sitka and Kuiu are some of my favorite hunting clothes and since I hate the stigma of being a "trendy bowhunter" I personally choose to wear most of the solid colors. I have shot elk, deer, turkey at close range while wearing a kuiu jacket and camo vest. They didn't care that it was a solid color. To me it is about weight and quality of clothing. You can not knock the comfort until you have tried it. I will not wear expensive pants during Coues rifle hunts though, Double front Carhartts for me.

I haven't looked specifically at the VAP and some one may correct me but for the most part Gold Tips are the only true Carbon arrows, others can have a slight amount of an amalgamation and can flex and bend and not remain straight. Almost all other arrows I've looked at including carbon arrows by easton and carbon express etc... have other materials besides carbon.

I shot the axis and Acc's for many years and really liked them, but since I make a lot of my own arrows, I've found the Gold Tips to be very adequate and easier to insert, fletch etc than the axis. I would stay with GT's unless you just want to try new things.

Another great year getting together with friends. Lots of birds seen, some passed, some missed and some great BBQ.

Great job!! Awesome week.

Anybody that knows me knows that I rarely get excited about anything...not that I don't have an absolute love for hunting, shooting etc...I just do not yell,scream or even act happy sometimes... I feel like I calmly get the job done every time...well this video shows that even though I'm not excitable on the outside the inside can be torn to shreds... First shot was about 50 yards...2nd and third at least 40 yards. . As he stood there he had drops of blood falling from his head and neck, I assumed at anytime he would just fall over. I don't like to be made a fool but it was a unique enough video I figured I would share in all of its uncut glory.

We were in Eastern KS, My buddy has a farm West of Lansing/Leavenworth. At the risk of making fun of myself, here is the GoPro Video of the hunt. It takes almost 9 min for the bird to come in, so fast forward to the 9min mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMXpFR-LeCo

Judging main beams and mass,fronts that go straight out vs sweep down and out ...less than 350. I have a late season archery bull with 27 and 25" thirds and 52" beams that goes 340

what color?

Seriously??? You want a company or Dr that advertises and uses Groupon to cut into you eye?????...get some good references and pick an established Dr... Your eyes shouldn't be given to the lowest bidder...

Best money I've spent..

I've hunted with them for almost 5 years now.. I love them, I have a few that have run out of batteries and so I interchange them as I practice, I do not need the lighted nock feature when I practice but they do make a difference POI if you are critical enough, especially out past 70 yards. The first time I shot and missed a buck in the last light of the day, my spotter was on a hill 6-800 yards a way and he said he could see the lighted nock through his binoculars. I use the nocturnals for GT

another cool bull from a couple years ago. I didn't get out much last year since I was getting ready for my mountain goat hunt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCr3ESRQSyQ

This one is from a few years ago, Big fronts, not a giant but a very good bull. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpZ5ex4KPmI

I know Blake I'm sorry for him and his family and that he put himself and them in this position but this comment was very comical to me. Blake has always been the outspoken one on the forum. Or to be blunt the internet tough guy. I Just found it comical. I dont have much patience with thieves, but i also believe in Repentence and forgiveness. I hope you can someday get it all behind you and learn an important life lesson Blake. You have a great young family with many years a head of you.

a guy who is apparently well known as a cam thief posted on here, all anyone said to him was "congrats on the great buck" Who are you talking about, I've been on this site for many years and probably said congrats to someone who is a thief and didn't realize they were "well known" Idk but my inbox blew up with stories about the guy when I mentioned it. By how people react about cam theft I thought people might want to know he was implicated in some of the theft. No one cared, except the people that PMd me I guessI think a lot of people care. Only most haven't heard the story because the guilty party backed out of the deal to post his confession/apology on here and other places, as he had agreed too. He also backed out of the settlement he agreed to pay. It will all come out soon enough. Interesting I don't think I responded or saw that post, nor would I have known he was a well known cam thief. I agree with above, I think a lot of people care, but don't spend as much time on here as some do.

Great job Rob, congrats on some fine animals. Clay always does well.

No it is not funny to joke about, I was under the impression you knew more about the situation than you do, my apologizes to you. Houston
