That camera takes some stellar footage!

Yup

The camera angle can be a bit deceiving. We were left of the camera and had a clear shot. I had him wait until it was clear.

Got some great 35 yard footage of this little guy tonight, June 2nd. Not one of the big ones I was looking for, but he wanted to be a movie star! Was he worth burning a couple minutes of film on? Do bulls poop in the woods???? [media=] [/media]

As elk began to filter into the meadow, this wide 6x6 sounded off to every challenger that called. He was following his "hot" cow like a whooped puppy dog! He was definitely a wide bull, but not the best looking bull we had seen. After we saw the coyote run by him, we affectionately referred to him as the "coyote ugly" bull. [media=] [/media]

Here is some footage of a bull we ran into during the archery elk hunt. I love chasing bulls in a light rain like this. Unfortunately, this bull was heading towards the same group of bugles that we were and we were having a hard time getting around him. [media=] [/media]

Who all is going to the Sunrise 3D Shootout? Gotta be one of the best 3D Shoots out there. Plus every registered shooter gets a chance to win a Trophy bull elk hunt on the White Mtn. Apache Res! You've gotta try the Extreme Course also. Great way to win some $ off your buddies! [media=] [/media]

I had a great weekend fishing one of the high country trout lakes here in AZ this weekend with my friend Carl. Just before dark one evening, a group of bull elk came down for a drink in the cove we were fishing. I was able to burn a little wobbly footage as our trolling motor inched us a little closer.

I filmed this bull while hunting the last day of the archery elk season with Scott and Houston. Too bad he broke the back half of his rack on is right side. He was in a little honey hole we found not far from the highway. [media=] [/media]

Another nice AZ High Country bull I found while scouting just a couple of days before season started.

After taking a nice bull during the morning hunt, I was scouting this area for a shooter to hunt with a new hunter that would be joining me the next day. Unfortunately I was caught with my tripod in my pack and I had to hold the camera free hand. This bull really put on a nice show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXjuZ0HD69Q

Not to start a Pi$$ing match but that has to be one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard. The only time Fixed heads "suck" is if 1. The bow is not properly tuned or 2. The shooter has form issues. Whenever I tune my bow, after paper, walk back etc.. I shoot a fixed, mechanical (usually either rage, or T3 ) and a field point. I'm not happy until they all shoot together. Once a bow is tuned, almost any head mechanical or fixed will shoot great. I like G5 striker, montec or Wac em and now I am shooting the VPA's they are awesome. I would love to see someone shoot accurate groups at 80 yards with a fix blade as accurately as i can do with a mechanical. Fix blades take a lot more effort and time to tune to your bow. I personally have my bow paper tuned as well and it helps but they still doesn't compare to the mechanical broadheads. But thats also my opinion. You know just as well as i do, that if you ask 10 different archers one question about something you will get 10 different answers. Thanks for not taking my post as an attack, as it wasn't meant to be, and I agree everyone will have an opinion. Here is mine: I love to shoot broadheads, I shoot them all year around, I like to try and shoot as many brands, styles as I can. I have shot many, many broadheads and agree that mechanicals can be less sensitive to form. BUT for all of MY hunting applications, the difference between my mechanicals and fixed are negligible, out to my max hunting range. Shooting a fixed has two major advantages though. 1. (I like numbering my thoughts) When using a fixed head there is no premature deployment (quiver, or hitting branch or spider clip fail, or rubber band failure etc...) 2. When I practice with my fixed COC, VPA's I then can touch up the edge and hunt with them without having to take them off my arrow to change out blades or to take off the practice tip and re-screw in the hunting bh. Once my solid BH is spin tested, shot then I hunt with my practice tip WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ARROW/BROADHEAD except to resharpen and of course that is done without taking it off the arrow. Once thing I believe in is to shoot what you are comfortable with have confidence in, this archery game is mostly mental. One more thing, hitting an elk in the vitals at 60 yards is relativly easy, compared to hitting a coues deer. With an elk I would rather give up a minimal amount of accuracy to have a tougher, fixed head. again my opinion. Where is the "Like" button at? Well said.

I got a chance to play with the 2012 Mathews Heli-m this past week and was very impressed. It took me back to the days when Mathews was just an infant in the bow industry and debuted a super light weight bow called the Z Light! The new Heli-m is a scant 3.5 pounds and loaded with improvements gleaned from having over 20 years in the industry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XviSLbvCISg

Nothing for me yet, but he is stoked! I have every reason to believe him, unless his wife is just playing a cruel joke. I think its legit. I am sitting on 13 points, my wife has 12 and still no hits for us.

A friend of mine just had his wife call to tell him that G and F just took out $114 from his account.... Looks like it is starting!

Video of a bull we called in to 15 yards while standing at a bull we just shot! This young bull has a cool drop tine on his left side. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b4efoJko8E

We ran into this bull on the last day of the archery elk hunt. He is a mature bull with some character and great tine length up front, however his tops seem to have "flattened out". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-P8oqsePW4

This local legend made it through several hunting seasons and was nick named "Toby the Toad". He has a great set of antlers with a distinguished look. Here is a bit of footage taken just days before the archery season opened. Toby the Toad Video

Nice AZ bull caught on film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoaqS5s87GQ

Ran into this buck while scouting for and early season archery deer hunt. He actually has four points on his right side as well as three eyeguards on the same side. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RABa4Hhj_I8

This bull was well within archery range, but not the one we were looking for. He has a nice wide rack with unique front tines that come off the beam long and straight while very close together. Too bad he didn't have bigger tops.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3-BIYy3LgI

This bull finally followed his cows into the meadow right at dark. After listening to his aggressive bugling while closing the distance, our hopes were high. Unfortunately the rest of his rack did not match his thirds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWwoetd7Uv4

We ran into this bull during the archery elk hunt. He had a distinct gurgle to his bugle. He came into the calls ready to fight but just wasn't big enough for an arrow this year! Gurgler Bull Video

During the archery elk hunt we threw a few cow calls in this bulls direction and he came right to us. Unfortunately he was not quite as big as we were after so we decided to pass on him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCk1Sz3L_JE
