    Arrow nock moves down as bow is drawn?

    Holy buckets man! It is best practice to use nock sets above and below your nocking point before installing your D-loop. As someone else mentioned, you want a frog's hair of play between the nock sets to avoid nock pinch. On a Mathews V3, the longest ATA they made in that model was a 31" so you...

    Aluminum wall tent poles?

    I see you're in Junction. Davis Tent out of Denver does custom pole runs sometimes. It might not work, but I'd give them a call to see.

    42 Grizz killed in WY this year

    C'mon man, we all know Wyoming doesn't do "self funding." And, shame on you for even bringing up something so sensible.

    What bow for a 73 year old Elk hunter?

    Heck yeah, have fun trying the new bows. Sounds like you'll have a helpful friend going along with you as well. The season it coming up fast. I can't believe it's almost the solstice.

    What bow for a 73 year old Elk hunter?

    Good job on your weight loss efforts! That's a great start and will serve you well in MT. The draw holding drills are excellent practice, too. I like to incorporate those into my training as well. I'd give you my background in the archery industry, but someone just told me in another thread...

    What is the attraction of elk hunting?

    The guy personally called me out in response to a clean post I made on-topic to the OP. He has no idea what my level of experience is, and neither do you. He didn't even mention what he liked about elk hunting, he just bitched about how terrible it is.

    A little help for the CO Secondary Draw

    Good info here. Thx, BobDog. I'll add a couple more items that may help. Like cnelk said, you'll still need to purchase a qualifying license to apply and reissues will not be included in the 2nd draw. The secondary draw does not use preference points and you cannot apply as a group. You can...

    Pony Boy isn't smart. He just took the easy way out to save face and avoid accountability for what he said.

    How many arrows do you carry in your quiver Elk hunting?

    I carry 4 arrows, in a 5-arrow TightSpot. If you leave the second slot open, you can carry your bow by the round carbon rod of the quiver. It's smooth, warm to the touch and reduces hand fatigue. 2 fixed and 2 mechs. I shot 4 arrows into a bull in 2017. He went down after the first one, but...

    What is the attraction of elk hunting?

    You're welcome. And, thank you. I didn't know those tags were going away in AZ, appreciate the info. It's too bad, I liked that January hunt even though it could be tough one

    What is the attraction of elk hunting?

    If you want to try it. I'd suggest doing it this year, next year or both. Unlimited OTC tags for non-residents will almost certainly be discontinued in 2025. The new 75%/25% R/NR allocations will be in effect as well.

    What is the attraction of elk hunting?

    Idiot? You just said you've hunted 35-45 days, every single year on average and you haven't seen a nice 6-point (300+) since 1983? That's 1,600 days afield across a 40 year period. PLUS, you said that included off-seasons. You live in Montana and you have never seen a decent 6-point on...

    What is the attraction of elk hunting?

    I'm assuming you're talking about age, which has nothing to do at all with any of the non-factual, incorrect statements you made. Call the RMEF and ask them your questions. That should shed some light on the situation. Speaking of sheds... If you have a degree in wildlife management and you...

    What is the attraction of elk hunting?

    Here's my last bull from Montana. General tag. Public land. Maybe you don't consider this bull to have decent horns? Also, they aren't actually horns, they're antlers, since we are discussing facts.

    What is the attraction of elk hunting?

    You're sorry but I haven't hunted enough? LMAO, then where did all the bulls on my wall come from? If you hunted 35-45 days a year every year and haven't seen a 300+ since 1983, even in the off-season, you are a shitty hunter. I could post hundreds and hundreds of pictures, trail cameras...

    Why is Colorado OTC of such shit quality?

    That's not true. UNLIMITED OTC tags are going away in 2025 for non-residents for sure. Either being replaced with OTC with CAPS or to an all draw structure. It's unclear if the OTC with CAPS will be broken down by GMU or not at this point. This is happening for non-residents for sure, and...

    What is the attraction of elk hunting?

    I only bowhunt public OTC units in Colorado. I've killed 11 bulls in the last 13 years with a bow, and only two of them have been under 300. Take from that what you will. If you haven't seen a bull bigger than a raghorn, the problem is probably your skillset. My attraction to them is they are...

    And that 77% of funding is just the portion of license revenues paid for by non-residents. If you add the Federal grants and Federal aid, non-residents paid $69.1 million dollars to WGFD for it's management of state wildlife. The WGFD collected only $800,000, or 0.9% of it's annual budget from...

    My apologies to everyone in this thread for continuing to comment off of the thread's primary topic. It has gone way too far. Differences in opinions make this forum great, but willfully ignorant people piss me off. Thanks to the moderators for being accommodating. Have a great season...
