    3 blade broadhead recommendations

    I’ve shot 2 blade Simmons Interceptor for 28 years. Best broadhead money can buy. Makes even a marginal hit turn lethal.

    Bowhunting the west, can you be successful doing it or is it just a idea?

    Been going out west for several years. I hunt with recurve only even in my home state. I have enough empty tags to wall paper one wall of my game room. The other 3 walls are full of mounts. Sometimes your the windshield and sometimes your the bug. If you’re a freezer filler you might wanna...

    MT alternate list

    I’m number 35. Haven’t heard a word yet either. Praying that some guys drew tags else were and turn in their MT tag. I have zero out of the 4 draws I put in for. Good luck my friend. Shane

    Who likes Simmons broadheads?

    I’ve been shooting the Simmons Interceptors for over 20 years now. Killed everything with them. Probably the toughest head you can find. They are easy to sharpen with the Rada sharpening tool. I shoot the 190gr screw-in. Personally met Jerry Simmons who invented them years ago. Became very good...

    I’d love to have drawn the XX unit. That’s a tough one to draw. Big bulls for sure though.

    Turnkey cost poll for successful DIY elk hunters - All about the Benjamin's?

    I don’t qualify either and have been hunting elk over 10 years. I’ve got everything I need to camp and hunt for weeks at a time. All public land hunting changes over time for sure. My gear wasn’t near as expensive as all my tags were. Guys I work with can’t believe you can spend so much with no...

    Why did you start hunting Trad?

    Pretty much the only way I've ever known. I was raised shooting recurves from 3yrs old. Been killing deer with one for 40yrs now. Just have never had a desire to change much to a compound. A lot of my friends over the years that i shot with shot compounds and always loved to shoot with me and...

    Strike plate bump out?

    I'm a keep it simple kinda guy. Ive always been that guy who files on my riser or puts the widled down match stick as well. For the simple reason of the least amount if contact to the shaft. If it works do it. Most bows now days are built less contact shelves anyway. I've shot alot of different...

    First year hunting with recurve advice

    In all honesty id ditch the gilly suit and hunt from a stand. The suit will cost ya more shots then the stand hunting will. You have to move to draw on your target. Stick bows are not like compounds where you can draw early and hold. Takes practice and misses to learn from. My advise is sell...

You'll learn that in the next 10 yrs if they...

    Cow decoy worth it for a solo hunter?

    I made my own out of 1/4 plywood. It is a rump decoy that folds in the middle. Slips right in my pack. I shoot a recurve and have to have them looking for something. I've had cows cows come right to it also. I love my cheap decoy.
