    Delisting grey wolves passed house

    I know exactly how they will vote as well roadrunner. By the way, you should see the house Luhan built right above Navajo Lake up here in the northwest part of the state.

    I drew NM archery ibex

    Do you have the October or January hunt? No need to worry about snakes usually in January. Very little water on the mountain so be prepared for that. It’s extremely tough to spot them from below and then try to climb up to them for a stalk. It’s better to be on the mountain and have a spotter...

    Shingles Recommendation

    Go with architecture shingles or metal. I installed a ton of shingles during my construction days and metal as well. A lot depends on your area with the amount of water or hail you might get. Don’t do ridge vents and I think turbines are a little overkill. Standard roof vents will work just fine...

    How Many 300+ Inch Bulls Have You Killed

    Not one. My biggest is 270 and I killed him when I was 14 with my bow and hunting by myself. Killed lots of cows and rag horns. I’m just not very picky. When I killed that one at 14 my dad had to come look for me because I wasn’t at the truck at the right time. He was pissed until I told him I...

    2 parter! I am glad I am not single, and why does every single woman think they are a 10?

    I got married the first time around at 23. Married for almost 7 years and no kids. I’m so glad we divorced because she was a mess! 2nd time around I was 33 and found a great one. I definitely don’t deserve her. 3 kids and going on 15 years now and she is what I consider my one. She doesn’t hunt...

    Grinder upgrade

    Great find! I’ve got one about that size that’s so old there isn’t a bit of stainless steel on it. I never use it and it just collect rust.

    Elk arrow selection

    You’re fine with that set up. My arrows are heavier but that’s just because I like shooting Easton FMJ’s. I also have lighter arrows that I’ve killed elk with that blew through them no problem at all. I just really like the fmj’s.

    Anyone else lacking confidence in their Tipi?

    Take the Hilleberg. That’s just me though since I’m not a tipi and floorless shelter guy.

    Carrying Turkey decoy ideas

    I use a collapsible foam rubber type of decoy. I rarely collapse it though because it takes a little heat to bring the shape back. I put it between the the frame and pack itself. Just pull it out when it’s needed. I have put it inside the pack as well and strapped it to the outside. A pic of my...

    Anyone start out with a compound, go to Trad and then back to a compound?

    Yep, twice in fact. Sold all my trad gear and sticking with compound from now on. I never could quite get the hang of it outside of 20 yards. Even 20 and under was sometimes a chore. Cost me a bull last September. Two weeks after my elk hunt I started selling everything. Life is much happier now. 🤣

    Broadheads Shooting Left

    Move rest first. From the first post or the thread title it sounds like your arrows with field points fly true so no need to paper tune again or even twist yokes. If the arrows with broadheads are flying true but to the left of field points then adjust your rest first before any yoke tuning. It...

    Pulling through on an index

    Shoot with a heavier trigger for back tension. That would be my only advice but I don’t shoot with back tension. It messed me up big time. I was launching arrows all over to the sky. I pull the trigger just like I do on a rifle, slow and steady. Works great for me. The only thing I might...

    Archery Deer hunting in January

    Deer behavior was the same except that they may stay in their bed longer on a warm day. Also, mule deer are a lot more jumpy and nervous in the morning than late afternoon and evening.

    Archery Deer hunting in January

    Be prepared for really cold weather and for those bluebird sunny days when the temp can hit 40-50. It won’t affect your bow any except for the creaking noises. No snakes to worry about since they have gone into their dens long before January. There aren’t many in a Northern unit anyway. Get on...
