    Bowstring off

    My brother-in-law who KNOWS EVERYTHING dry fired my bow and the bowstring came off the wheel. I'm thinking if I draw back the bow and attach a small ratcheting strap while bow is drawn too keep limbs down I will be able to put string back on wheel. What do you guys think?

    Photo tricks

    Just wanted to share something that bugs the heck out of me. It's the people that bag a nice buck and then pose the deer and go sit about 5 or 6 feet behind it for the picture. They try to make an already nice buck look bigger than it really is. You are not fooling anyone. Just hold it by the...

    40 cal shotshell

    I was wondering if anybody has any experience with using birdshot in a pistol. This year we had a bunch of ruffed grouse within 5 feet of us while draging my deer down the mountain. You guys think this would kill one of these grouse?

    Ruby mountain buck

    I finally got to shoot a buck. It's been several years since I got a buck because I have been archery hunting the last few years. This year I drew a rifle tag. It was nice and cold and snowy but someone forgot to tell the bucks they were supposed to come down off the mountain tops. I also got to...

    Too much technology?

    I just watched a hunting show where guy was hunting mule deer in TX with a guide. On a private ranch of course, they find a deer, guide uses range finder, 250 yards, hunter then proceeds to shoot right over deer. 250 yards! If you need a range finder to shoot 250 yards you you need to go...

    Accurate enough?

    Just wondering what you think. I can hit a gallon milk jug every time out to 400 yards, yet a friend of mine thinks that since it is not center punched it's not good enough. I figure that is about the size of a deer's vital area so what difference would it make? Elk have an even bigger vital...

    Guide tactics

    A couple of weeks ago I was in AZ elk hunting with my brother and we talk to a couple of guys who were bowhunting for elk. They told us about a guy in a truck watching them from the hillside through binos while they were cow calling a bull towards the waterhole they were hunting. When the guy in...

    Arizona bull

    Here is a picture of my brother Manny's bull he took in AZ. We hunted for 9 days before we finally got this one. It was a very tough hunt, we hunted for 5 days without seeing any elk or hearing a bugle of any kind. Finally on the sixth day we started hearing some bugles. Took 4 more days before...

    Dove hunting

    Anybody have any luck with doves yet. My son and I went to some waterholes near Beatty monday morning and saw 1 dove. We went to Ash meadows for the evening hunt and saw 2 birds. What a waste of time, the only thing that made it worth it was hanging out with my son.

    area 10 spruce mountain

    I've got an area 10 late rifle deer tag amd i'm wondering if any of you have ever hunted Spruce mountain. I looked in there once during early rifle season and didn't see much. I know some of it has been designated as wilderness since then. Maybe the Pequops might be another area to look in. I...
