Have any of you ever footed your arrows? I can see a great benefit to FMJ with the HIT inserts by strengthening the business end of the arrow. It could give a little more FOC as well. It is suggested to install footings anywhere from an inch and a half to 2 inches long. Some are even double...

Nearly had to clean my shorts yesterday on the way home from work. Had a front drivers side tire blow out on my ford F-250 7.3 which grabbed my front end at 70 mph and was dragging me towards the cement barrier. Had some dumb sum b!tch just barely behind me in the left lane as I was being jerked...

I know a few of you probably don't go to the campfire forum much. I posted my BBQ project with several pictures in the campfire under ?everything but the kitchen sink? Thought on this off season time I would give you guy?s something else to look at. Here is pretty much the end result. I don't...

I had initially put this in the general forum a couple of weeks ago so some of you may have seen the first few pictures. It has been one heck of s project well worth the effort. I have never done anything like this and there are a few things I would do differently but over all I am very...

Hey guy's, I have been working on a project for my BBQ counter top over the last few weeks and now that im nearly finished with the exception of cleanup and some sanding. I am trying to decide if I should stain it or not. This turned out better than I had expected and now I'm almost afraid if I...

Hey get this, last week my hunting partner was out varmint calling up behind his house. He has a fox pro call machine, one of those $500.00 dollar jobbies. Anyway he got bored so he started playing around with a distress call. He said a quarter mile away a herd of deer and a nice buck got up and...

I recently asked my neighbors' little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?" She replied, "I'd...

With stories about these people like the militia guy in Montana ( has he been caught yet?) , Robert Fisher and this Knapp fella now running around in the hills how is it that hunters have not come across them at one time or another? It appears Knapp is making enough mistakes now that he will get...

I will share a learning experience with you all out there that I never took into consideration. (Yes I should have known better) I have gone to the same pro shop and bought 340 FMJ?s with blazer vanes for years. I love the set up but this last time I was sadly disappointed and alarmed. I went in...

Oops, I meant to put this here and stuck it in the general. Last week I hunted Coue?s deer and had probably the most fun bow hunting ever. I even got off one shot. Under guessed the yardage, left my darn range finder at home, Grrrr. Anyway what I wanted to share was that I had at least 2 stalks...

Last week I hunted Coue?s deer and had probably the most fun bow hunting ever. I even got off one shot. Under guessed the yardage, left my darn range finder at home, Grrrr. Anyway what I wanted to share was that I had at least 2 stalks a day. One of the BIGGEST issues I had during these stalks...

Okay, can anyone tell me about this bull? I tried to do a search here for it and I can't seem to find it so I apologize in advance if this has already been posted here. I got this in an e-mail from some friends who could not give me anymore details other than the ones that came with the e-mail...

Im curios if any of you have noticed or have observed that rifle hunters appear to have the same or similar issues with bullet/cartridge selection as we do with BH?ds and arrows? I have been reading several issues folks have had with their bullet selection and bullet performances, be it close...

Have any of you guy?s met a person that started out with, why do you hunt and kill poor defenseless animals, and run off of the mouth with a little rant and then only to turn around once they find out you're a bow hunter and then say, ?well that's different??? I have run across a few...

I hoping to see if anyone can point me in the right direction for a very good friend of mine in the Charleston south Carolina area for a deer hunt on public land. I grew up with a buddy in Michigan. I moved to Arizona but we have always stayed in contact. He is an archery hunter and just...

My taxi did an outstanding job on my mount, he positioned him just the way I wanted with the head slightly tilted to make his left side higher than the right. a I built the pedestal myself. I posted the process in building it in the Elk forum. GBA

I posted him and the process steps in the Elk Forum if you care to take a look. GBA

I finished my pedestal, the following pictures will give you an idea of the process I went through with some great help and input from my wife on some details. When I first told her what I wanted to do and with what materials, I got the ole crinkle of the nose look. When I mentioned the pine...

Do any of you have a Leatherman or similar that you use every day? My long time hunting partner talked me into getting one. He told me if I wore it for two weeks I would always have it on me. After seeing him wear one on his hip for a year or so and see that he used it all the time I decided to...

Ok, Im curious?Im just asking this question as it really perplexes me. Why do fixed blade broadhead shooters practice with your nice new sharp broadheads?? Everyone says form, great tuned bow, fixed blades will fly like field tips. I am not argueing this. I want to know if that's the case why...

So how many of you would let these guy?s stop you from hunting? The snake crawled into my makeshift ground blind on a side hill in August one year. Because of the hill, I was sitting back almost against the ground when this snake crawled in right beside me. I grabbed a softball size...

Turpentine vs. Holy Water A little boy was sitting on the footpath with a bottle of turpentine. He was shaking it up and watching all the bubbles. A Priest came along and asked the little boy what he had. The little boy said, 'This is the most powerful liquid in the world; it's called...

I just got my mount back a couple of weeks ago from January 2010. I will make an oak bark backing for it with some limbs coming off of it going up threw his horns and next to his eye. He still had some velvet on his horns. Hope to make it look like he is rubbing the velvet off of his horns or...

So has anyone else?s plans been screwed up or postponed because of the snow storm? My planned hunt is in the 5000 foot level. I am having to push my hunt out one week and I am hoping for most of the snow in the high deserts to melt off. GBA

Here is a sneak peak at my 2011 upcoming archery hunt in January. I have been preparing for this hunt since early October and about every 3 weeks I make a trip down into this nasty canyon which takes me about an hour and a half to get down into. I know this is a Mule deer site but I am preparing...

Just out of curiosity I have looking for some information on the web for Cameron and where he grew up as a kid. More interested to know what sports (if any) he played in high school and how old he was when he first picked up the bow. His grit and determination reminds me of a wrestler. One of...

I was trying to find anything that would give me or tell me how to Archery hunt desert Muley?s. So I punched in Desert Mule Deer hunting in the Google search engine and after weeding threw a few of the results, I came upon MM. I have been reading the posts in most all the forums at least twice...
