Welcome! You will have a more rewarding experience on this forum. Lots of knowledgeable, respectful and ethical folks here.

Nice job! Perfect practice makes perfect! Target archery seems like it would be loads of fun and could improve my shooting skill...it is definitely on my bucket list.

I second the mis info on 130, some nice deer in the unit because of the gnarly terrain they just don't get the human pressure. I think someone out of area would be disappointed if they drew the tag....

Nice compliment on Miss America smile! If she had a conversation with you she might learn something, instead you get that...some people never fail to suprise me.

Thanks for the reply Ikeepitcold, do you have the link for that thread? I have searched a couple times but no result.

Looking for input on how others ask landowners for permission? I look at it like a "relationship" and put forth effort to make it last. It helps keep the hunting community in good standing. I tend to...

I do a lot of what you guys do, in the yard, in the garage and at the archery shop when I can afford it. I also go out hiking with my bow, rangefinder and judo points and stump shoot. It gives me a...

I was toying around with throwing 125gr broadheads on and that would get me in the 12% range if the spine on my arrow can handle it. Will loss FPS but it might equal tighter groups and more forgiving...

I assume mule deer, 261 pretty good last time I hunted it(5 years ago). The Mission Mtns. east of the Reservation is starting to produce trophy class mule deer, but gnarly country. What about the...
