      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Experience has taught me some very important lesson about being a hunter with a new knee replacement. First of all, being a lifelong hunter, I waited until I could hardly walk before I had my knee replaced. Since then, it&#039;s been a blessing and a curse. I can easily walk again, too an extent. It takes about a year to heal from your knee replacement. What they don&#039;t tell you is, it will take an additional year for your knee and hip to become in sink so you can walk more than a hundred yards...<br />

<br />
Since I have a Pruf scope, I ordered their 4x scope, which, from what I understand, offers about 1.75x magnification.  It also comes with a bit of a warning that you may need to add a peep verifier.<br />

My question is why would you add a verifier?  I thought the whole point in archery is to...<br />

This past season was no different, accept for a few unexpected issues along the way. Most importantly there were plenty to bugling bulls, and it was a great adventure in God&#039;s country! If you have some downtime and want to watch a good elk hunt, this one&#039;s for you. <br />

So, after being taught how to extract what the F&amp;G need for a examination, I pick up my free CWD packet before I head afield. When I&#039;m processing my game afield, I collect my sample and drop it off with the nearest F&amp;G warden I come across. It&#039;s an extra step but well worth it. Yes, if my test comes out positive, I have to discard the entire animal, but I have contributed to...<br />

This year will be my son&#039;s first year hunting in archery season. Question for the Dads out there: what was your stand set up? Did you use a double ladder stand or did you use two hang ons?<br />
<br />
Double ladder stand is cheaper, but when he is ready to sit by himself, he already has a stand if we do hang ons.<br />
<br />
Anyone do two saddles with kids?<br />
<br />
He will be using a regular bow.<br />
