I bet your groups would tighten up some if you had a defined or more crisp aiming point. Shooting at a black block that is torn up makes it hard to aim in the same spot each time.

Subscribed! Good luck Jimmy - keep it up man. I'm jealous and thinking I need a January AZ hunt next year to fend off the wintertime blues!

Your probably right RB. I plan on buying a rhinehart target after I get back. I also plan on changing a few things with my setup as well. I will be looking for suggestions from a lot of you serious long time archers when I get back as well.

I agree with RosinBag. I like to paint a golf ball sized White circle on my targets after they get shot a lot. If I don't have something small to aim at my groups suffer.

Ok I decided on the Danner boots because of the insulation factor. I just went to dinner with the wife and its pretty cold out. Nothing worse than cold feet.

Just got off the phone with Lyle, my buddy who is coming along, and he says he's ready to go! I think I might have created a monster. You will get to meet him tomorrow because its finally time to get the hunt started. I think I'm going to have trouble sleeping tonight as I am so effin excited!

Well today is the day! I had the oil changed on my truck and the gas is topped off. I have the truck loaded and ready to go so when I get off work at 1:30 it's on!

I will post often so keep checking in. Also a big thanks to Robby Denning for relaying texts if needed.

I'm your huckleberry :)

Coop, you really need to get down there sometime. If my job wasn't so busy this time of year, I'd love to hunt deer on dirt in January.

Glad you're doing this hunt Slim for all us snow-bound folks. All the best.

I could easily be persuaded to head south for the winter (next season):cool:... Let's put together a plan!

Nice truck Jimmy! Those Cummins diesels are awesome trucks. Can't beat a full size truck that can get 20mpg on the highway with a trailer in tow! and last a few hundred thousand miles.

Good luck!
