Oh alright I gotcha, was gonna say if you were down here we should hit up a hunt together over in Jubilee park haha
Ok lets livin this thread up a bit! I wanna see a picture of what everybody has for their shooting rigs! I will post mine later when I get off work. If you shoot a muzzle loader or hunt in shotgun season include that too, lets have some fun!! Hope everybody is having a great week and good luck if anybody is making it out this weekend!!
I will have to take a pic of mine when I get off. Had to get it adjusted from my string stretching and added some poundage to it for huntin now that tournaments are done for the year. Just got it back from my bow guy yesterday and it's lookin great! If I'm not in the woods with my bow I'm in the box with my 30-06 or 270. But majority of the time bow is in hand! The rush of a deer at 20 or 30 yards knowing you gotta draw and stick it can't be beat in my opinion. Love the long distant rifle shots though. Shot 2 doe at 270 yards last year with my 30-06. That was awesome but they didn't come close to seeing and shooting this guy at 27 yards from 25 feet up!
I'll be back up in the stand in a couple hours (first time since last saturday) and will post mine then! Bowtech Allegiance 31.5" DL and 65 lbs. It fits me perfectly and still shoots great. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
2 week DIY elk hunt in wyoming Hey everyone, I just got back to town from my first DIY elk hunt and wanted to update with a picture.
That's awesome! If only Elk counted towards our team score. On a side note, went back out tonight and saw the largest bodied deer I've ever seen. Came within 60 yards of my stand and went straight into the corn. It was such a rush I'm still excited. We have a big 8 point that's about a 130 class (which is big for my area) that we have on trail came. Couldn't tell if it was him or a new player. We shall see...

Titanium thats is awesome, great job!!! Titan good luck brother! I had 2 big does in my yard Wednesday morning, so I am PUMPED, 11 more days!!
Forgot to say congrats on the DIY part of that kill. That would be the truest trophy for me (along with the huge shoulder mount on the wall) :thumbup: Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I had to put the fact that it was a DIY because the past 2 years I took a lot of b/s from people that did not know me when I had some success on our farm killing big deer. Good luck to everyone. I woke up this morning to go sit for early doe and it was raining, so i'm unpacking and going tonight. got my fingers crossed to start off the season running
Sign me up for my first points of the year. My wife filmed me shoot this doe sunday morning, which is the second day of the early doe season here in MI.
That's awesome she got to be with you and you were able to get it on film! Great job! Congratulations!!!!
Sorry guys, I've been out of town doing wonderful military training. I'm back and I'll have my rig pic up tomorrow. Alex, way to go on getting us on the board!! Nice doe, as well, brother. Very excited for you and am getting pumped for the remainder of you who still have to wait until Oct 1. I'm planning on going out tomorrow so I'll keep you guys informed.
I'm one of those that still has to wait till Oct 1. But it's only a week and a wakeup away!! Took the day off work. Will also hunt all weekend 6th, 7th, and 8th (yeah for holidays during bow season!!) Then looking forward to two weeks off the last week of Oct and first week of Nov. Good luck to all hunting already!
Way to go on the Doe brother! Nice job drawing first blood for the team! That is awesome that your wife could be with you and get it on film!! Hopefully we will get to see a clip of it on here soon!! :-D 8 1/2 more days till I will be out in the woods, can't wait!!!!
Alex, Nice job on the doe - But even bigger congrats on the ELK!!! Any elk with a bow is well earned... I just got back from my 3rd DIY elk hunt...still looking for my first kill. Hunting was great this year (and I missed a shot so that is my fault)...but also had another awesome encounter with huge bull at 45 yards (no open shot) in the snow...and saw a couple other good bulls...bugling 4 out of the 5 days. My buddy did connect with a calf on the last day so still got the thrill of packing out meat and putting some on the grill. Above all - shared the hunt/camp with my Dad this year...just a great week of hunting. Should have some story and pics to post in coming days. Good to be back...season opens next week which sounds crazy as I've been in full elk mode since spring...looking forward to some relaxing hunts in a treestand soon. Keep the updates coming - and who's going to get the next points on the board? Good Luck All!
