If I waited for the wind to die down in NM then I would never be out hunting. Just pick a spot and hunker down for an ambush and listen. It’s pretty amazing how vocal elk still are in the wind. If you hear a bugle then he is pretty close. Also, the wind never really blows in one direction...
I can’t even imagine hunting without a quiver attached on my bow. It stays attached all year long since it’s a two piece. I’ve shot with it on and off and it has never affected accuracy. My pack stays on unless I stop for a fuel brake or a possible mule deer or antelope stalk for the last 50 yds...
Very nice ram! Glad the money will hopefully go to conservation. Did he shoot it in the Rio Grande Gorge or Taos Pueblo Reservation? There has also been another wealthy hunter that has bought the auction tag every year for quite a while. He killed some very nice rams here over the years.
I carried my last black lab into the Vet when I had to put him to sleep. He had hip displacement so bad that he developed a huge cyst/ulcer there and it burst causing the whole hip to erode away. He already had a bad spinal injury when he jumped off an embankment chasing a stupid feral cat. I...
I just go to AutoZone or O’Riley and buy brake pads. About $70 a pair. They last a long time. Why not just get the rotors turned? Unless, that’s already been done and they are too thin now.
I don’t really like spiders either. I tolerate daddy long legs and tarantulas are pretty cool. Everything else dies. What really creeps me out are snakes. Can’t stand any of them. Just watching them move is creepy.
If you keep everything the same and increase broadhead weight then you will definitely see a change. Not much if any at 30 yds and in. Shoot longer distances and you will see a change. Arrows will hit much lower by adding 50 grains of weight. I think you made a good decision by just staying with...
This one of the main reasons why I don’t use epoxy or superglue. Hot melt always. I had to do the drill bit trick a few weeks ago on some that epoxied in just to try it for some dumb reason. Threw out my back and pulled some muscles in my arm. 🤣
My 13 yr old son is going to be getting them soon. His are going to cost more because he needs one tooth built up first. It looks like a spike. Can’t do it yet because he still has a couple of baby teeth to lose?! It’s taking forever for him to lose all his teeth. Meanwhile, my 10 yr old and 7yr...
I’m shooting exodus swept this year. Last year was Simmons Mako. I’m pretty impressed with the Exodus so far. Hope to kill an elk in a few weeks with it. I’ve killed lots of stuff with 2 blade and multi blade heads. I prefer a good three blade head or 2 blade with bleeders.
I stopped sharpening broadheads a few years ago. I just buy the replacement blades. I only have one or two I use for practice and the others are all for hunting only. If I shoot an animal then I just replace the blades. I suppose I could sharpen them again if I want and I might if it’s just a...
