I would get a late coues tag every time i can. Such a fun hunt.

No surprise there...its new york.

You get first crack at them during october hunt. By early november they have already been pressured, shot at, or killed.

Came up with a new system to bring chalks back to browns. Still a work in progress. What you think?

Still working on color variation and getting the right mix. They arent quite as dark in person.

I think Elk are the easiest to hunt with a bow. Easy to stalk, big vitals area, nowhere near as wary as a deer. Javelina can leave you quite frustrated as can deer. I have been archery deer hunting on and off for 20 years and still dont have an archery buck under my belt. I have 3 archery elk in 3 attempts.

I think all mechanicals suck having used a few. Now that i have tried a bunch (fixed and mechanicals) i dont understand why mechanicals were ever even made. So many different solutions to a problem that never existed. Shoot a good fixed broadhead and you will get true flight, perfect penetration, and good blood trail, with no chance of error.

Example #2...again at sedona exit southbound i-17. Had a severe rollover with multiple vehicles and people injured. Traffic was backed up and i was the lone DPS officer on duty. I asked a fireman to please take his truck up a few miles to warn traffic and slow them down. This move saved my life and the rest of the fireman that were attending to wounded. A trucker was not adhering to the speed limit for commercial vehicles and was doing 80 mph even with the downgrade out of flag. The fireman radio'd us watch out!!! Watch out!!! Semi out of control!!! As i look up i see a fully loaded semi in the median plowing up dirt and out of control heading right towards the scene. At this point he was only a few hundred feet from us. We had time to literally grab and throw the wounded out of the way and dive onto the highway to avoid him. He crashed through the scene and let me tell you seeing that kind of weight and speed doin that kind of damage was something i will never forget! He did not think the 55mph speed limit for trucks was really important. He understood afterwards.

I found a truck in the emergency truck ramp on southbound i-17 just above sedona exit. I walked up and the driver was sitting next to his truck. I talked to him asked for his license etc...he was a russian immigrant, had no cdl, had never even driven a truck before, a company in texas hired him, gave him a crash course in how to drive a truck, and sent him off to drive to the west coast. Thats the kind of people that are out there driving trucks, as well as the legit ones who pay for the mistakes of crappy companies.

Just saw it today. Does not appear to be photo radar. They are positioned before and after the rest area. Willing to bet it will be turned into a commercial vehicle check station. There are cameras only as of right now

I thought USO had first dibs on all your areas.

Tons of things have changed since then. I will never understand why women have to try to prove they are just as capable as men. Women are women and men are men. They are not the same and neither one is any better than the other. They are very different and both better at certain things than the other. Take pride in who you are and dont try to be something you are not just to prove a point to the world. Own it. It does mankind/civilization no good if all the women start acting like men and becoming "independent" because they dont need a man. Each sex has a very important role in life and both need each other to survive.

blue book for this truck in excellent condition is 16k. asking 7k over blue book is not such a heck of a deal.

In my opinion grip and bow torque are the hardest things for new shooters to understand. Once you get down a consistant grip with no torque your groups will improve. You should only use your bow hand as a brace for the bow with maybe a slight pressure with your index finger. Dont use your entire hand to grip the bow. Also make sure your anchor point is exactly the same every time. Installing a kisser on the string can help achieve this although i dont really like them. Last but not least is correct arrow spine. Too much spine or too little will cause your arrow to be off no matter what you do form wise.

I liked shuttle t's

WTF????

ISIS is gaining ground all over the world and idiots here in the USA are still trying to find a way to neuter our guns.

I just think there are too many people out shed hunting this year. Every road is covered in quad tracks and sign of people all over the forest.

I have hiked my butt off and still not one brown this year. I have hiked where there are bulls that freshly dropped and areas where they had been recently and still nothing. Only whites and 2-3 yr old sheds! Frustrating.

I wish i could go this year! I am back to zero points so gonna be a 2018 trip for me most likely.

Marijuana field cover trees. Any chance its in 6a? Believe it or not when i was with DPS a marijuana field was found under the overlook between flag and camp verde. Another was found in unit 23.

Today was awesome and very unexpected! I actually saw the lion standing over her kill and got ahold of Dale at Wild Heritage. His dogs foud the scent within minutes and were off. 320 yds away they had the lion treed already. It never happens that quick!

Dang sideways pics!

There is a much newer 15x56 than the last few years models. If he didnt just buy them most likely he has the previous model. The new 15's just came out and are supposed to be great. But who knows

You're never alone. The voices in your head keep you company all year long. Ha
