i go a little overboard in ensuring i don't misplace them. i thumb tack them to the wall in a very visible place that i see every day. i have even tacked them to the ceiling before

yeah i have to strongly disagree with BMI chart. i am 6'5" 230 lbs, probably 8-10% body fat, weight train 5 days a week, hiking on the weekends, and that chart says i am overweight? i agree with what nature girl has to say. find a good weight where you feel and look good and stick with it. if everyone went by the BMI we would all look like a bunch of ethiopians

be patient young grasshoppa. you cannot give up on a spot after a week. I have honey holes that have been unproductive for a year or more, then they suddenly take off. placing a camera out 2 weeks before deer season and expecting results is a little too much to ask for. get multiple cameras and spread them out in a few square mile area, once you find what you are looking for, move your cameras into a smaller and smaller area until you have that specific buck's pattern figured out. patterning a big buck takes a lot of work. most of the mature deer I have on camera only come around every couple of weeks. I think they make big "loops " in certain area. pulling your camera premature can make you miss that one photo you need of the big old buck walking by.

I know this is an old post, but is this blind still for sale?

never had any issues with them at all. you probably had something in your target that it struck. possibly an insert, or maybe part of a lesser broadhead. your title is misleading, makes it sound like total broadhead failure when it was merely a chip

I build cell phone towers for a living. there are plenty of cell phone sites on mount ord, i built some of them. the towers on ord, or any tower for that matter, should not in any way effect credit cards. They have nothing to do with anything on a tower

how is it any different than trapping a mouse, or shooting a prarie dog? i imagine that when you do either of those you don't feel such remorse? maybe it was a flying squirrel and he was just preparing it for liftoff?

i think we have much bigger issues to worry about than a "manhunt" for a guy who kicked a squirrel. i saw the video, thought it was funny. it's a squirrel

wow, good eye! sure looks like one to me.. small 3 point elk antler

it would be fine but if you shoot it fine how it is, adding those extra pounds is going to be more work than it's worth. you won't really gain any speed, it'll just throw off your sight and/or tuning and make your bow that much more difficult to pull

the first bull is a pretty good one. i would guess 350" or so

bulls won't really bugle until a few weeks after they lose their velvet. they might make some noises sometimes, but they aren't by any means rutting. velvet should start coming off in the next week or two, and bulls will start looking for cows about the first week of september, with the best part of the rut being in mid to late september

28 has seen a huge decline in mule deer numbers over the last 10-15 years. last time i hunted it was a couple years ago, and saw one buck in 4 days. Mt. Guthry is a decent place to start.

i trust my bow to drive an arrow through that quartering towards deer, but i would put my pin on the front half of his shoulder. i've shot 3 coues with a bow from the same angle. all made it less than 50 yards.

"standardization" and "socialism" are much the same, and you will probably not like most of the responses that are going to come from this topic, based upon the title alone. i do believe that hunting is becoming more and more of a rich-man's sport, but there is still plenty of opportunity for those willing to get out there, burn some bootleather and find quality animals. if someone finds a way to make a good living honestly and doing what they love, whether it be "saturating" an area with cameras or not, i am all for it. anyone that runs a fair amount of cameras, like myself, understands how much work and time you have to have invested in them. most of the time when an outfitter has really made a strong presence in an area, they are after one or two animals in particular, it's not like every animal on a trail camera is "sold" and harvested by some rich dude with a private jet.

to me it seems that all the different mountain ranges have their own, unique "subspecies" of coues deer that share similar traits such as antler configuration, color, weight, height. i have noticed that body sizes of similar age bucks can vary quite a bit from area to area. it might be due to the fact that a lot of coues deer populations are isolated and don't really overlap with eachother, whereas mule deer range overlaps throughout the southwest US. Deer are just like people, they do not all have to be the same size, color, etc. to be the same species

$50 makes something elitist? maybe G&F shoudl just stop charging anything to hunt? that way not only the rich people that can afford $50 can hunt. it can be a package deal with Obamacare

i have cleaned an elk or two, see my avatar. my family also used to run a very well known butcher shop in the heart of elk country. i am VERY familiar with elk anatomy. i have been on over 50 elk kills, and no matter where you hit an elk, minus a couple obvious spots, there should be more penetration out of a 70lb bow than that. i am by no way saying a shoulder shot should be lethal, or is in any way a lethal shot but, that was not a shoulder shot.

go back to money up front, and comments like this ^^^^ will go away. i'm sorry, but if you can't afford $50 for deer, then you cannot afford to go on the hunt.

It looked to me like the shot was spot on. Not a shoulder shot. It doesn't matter where the hit was however, you should still get more than just a couple inches of penetration. Text book rage fail.

I really hope you're kidding! Haha. With all the nonsense that's happening in this thread though, it would not surprise me if you weren't. If there was such a thing as grammar police, there would be a lot of people in jail right now!

Ummm, no it's not. Definitely they're.... Not sure where you went to school

always gonna be that "one" guy. "Just called, They're up!" would have been much more convincing. triple D bag

using the system is one thing, taking advantage of the system is different. using 4 grandparents to put in for tags for two kids? not cool, or fair to everyone else. there are already youth hunts that are very premium tags, and fairly easy to draw. this is a great advantage to our youth hunters. also, family members being able to donate tags is an advantage to youth hunters, but this does not mean that one should also take advantage of the system. it probably happens more often than we know, but most people have more tact than to brag about it, especially when he openly admits that he would not be able to afford it

i thought i was the only one that listened to these guys
