    Az hunters

    Born and raised in Arizona, spent a lot of years working out of state but also spent 12 of my 34 professional working years in Arizona after graduating from Arizona State University. Moved back right before retiring in 2010 and lived in Yuma until this last year. I'm living in my 5th wheel toy...

    Arizona CC hits coming Friday...

    I drew an archery elk tag, first elk draw since 2017, now comes the wait to see if it's bull or cow. Doesn't really mater which one as long as I'm out there hunting elk I'm happy! Sent from my SM-T387V using Tapatalk

    Welcome, I'm still shooting the PSE Carbon Stealth I bought from you guys a few years ago. Excellent shop. Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk

    Velocity testing, Bodnik Slick Stick

    Put the bow on a draw board and see what pounds it's pulling at each of those draw lengths. Most estimates say 3# per inch but bows vary a lot. Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk

    North Slope Boots

    Hip waders with what we called Bama socks. Wore that combo all over Kodiak when I worked there. You need to get a larger size for the hip boots to use the Bama socks as they are pretty thick. Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk

    Who Has The Oldest Bow?

    Herters recurve, 56", 50# stacks like crazy at 28", bought it mail order when I was a sophomore in high school in 1968. Haven't shot it in many years. Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk

    Long in the tooth.....

    I have a Remington mod 660, 6.5mm rem mag that I bought when I was in high school in 1968, a sleeping bag that I bought for work in 1990, and a pair of swaro 10x42 ELs that I bought in 2000. Yeah I'm well seasoned! Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk

    Quiver on or off for western hunting

    I never shoot or hunt with a quiver on my bow. I have used a hip quiver for over 30 years. The only problem is that the good ones with the lengthwise and crossways stiffeners in them are pretty heavy. I won't be changing as they work well. Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk

    62 just around the corner, I got wondering If you could ?

    Mine would be a 1952 Chevy pickup with a stroked LS 6.0, injected, with a Magnuson tvs2300 supercharger sitting between the heads! I love acceleration! Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk

    NM Oryx experience

    When NM Game and Fish were releasing the first oryx on White Sands one of the releasees came around in front of the tow pickup and proceeded to impale the radiator and air conditioner condenser. That was expensive! Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk

    Time for a member re-introduction! Where are you from+a fun fact about yourself.

    From Tempe Arizona and after working all over the west I'm retired in Arizona. Fun fact, in the early 1980's when I was elk hunting western NM I was still hunting up a ridge when I bumped into Fred Bear who was still hunting down the same ridge. Cool encounter.
