I use Nap shrink wrap 2 inch vanes. I have some going on 2 years. no wavy vanes and easy to line up with your broad heads if you screw on the head before installing. not sure how they hold up to a biscuit though. I use a drop away. the Nap spin faster and are said to be a bit more accurate at longer yardage. James

yoga.. James

some sweet coues deer right there! some day....... congrats! James

heard stories of that buck.. I think from my brother in law... jeff cross' pops put a mean stalk on that deer and something screwed it up.. don't remember what. maybe he'll read this and chime in. great buck either way! congrats to your wife on a trophy mule deer! James

that's pretty cool! rattlers scare the crap outta me! Last year on a bear hunt we sat a water hole (creek bed that holds water) that had some salamanders or waterdogs and this gopher snake came into the water and wrestled one out onto the rocks and put the sleeper hold on him! LOL! It was a huge waterdog! took him about 20 minutes to get him down. James

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! james

It's yours

I'll save my coyotes for ya James

I appreciate the kind words twowindy! It was a huge learning curve for me learning mostly by myself. I always say ( someone above also stated) go with an experienced hunter to shorten that curve, wish I had! James

that foot pic is hilarious! I'm sure your bucks are somewhere by.... the lion is like Buzz Killington! LOL! James

nice! 100 deg at 10 am! come on dude! call me when you get a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried hittin you up yesterday house and cell..... James

try 3 days in a cooler with dry ice (not touching the meat) and the drain open to drain off any blood or liquids. James

scenarios will vary.... simple if they hang up when the caller is playing then it's probably too loud.... if they are coming in when it's playing, let it play. you can watch their behavior and tell a few thing about how they are acting... if they stop but they keep looking back behind that usually means there is another 1 coming. if they just stop and won't budge they may have picked you out. as stated above gloves and a face mask are important in helping keep your location concealed. switch sound to a vole squeak or lip squeak.. this drives them crazy and they just have to come and check. I sometimes will switch to a pup distress and the females will almost always come running. you are creating a real environment, like a young coyote caught the pray and and older coyote came in to steal his grub. you'll have educated dawgs at times that won't come past that mark and they will wait you out. best solution for this is a BDC scope.... also if it is real open country this scenario will play it's self out over and over... they need to feel comfortable coming to the call. there is a reason they are in 49 states and 2 continents.. they are pretty smart and adaptable. one last tip I always try to put the shooter down wind from the caller. James

anyone got a hit list workin yet?? James

enforce the laws we have...... plenty of people hike to find their sheds, but every season we go out there are quad tracks everywhere. James

bump awesome video! James

if you go thru the coconino travel management thread I think some of that was discussed.... you can actually set this up as a poll question thread if you are actually looking for #s for and against. I would say no from me as some of those early hunts and even somtimes in NOVEMBER it can be 80 degrees, may result in some meat loss. James

now I feel better... 1 of the bucks I have on cam has similar growth.. LOL! I was bummed because I thought they were way behind.. looks about right... I just forget how fast they grow and how they still are growing throughout the august and september hunt.. James
