Arizona open, finally
How many states do you apply for a year? I’ve thought about hunting some of my neighboring states but I never have.- ribo451

Call me crazy
No input on that particular arrow. I’ve only shot two deer with a bow and they were both complete pass throughs. I’ve shot 8 elk with a bow and haven’t had a pass through yet. I’m shooting an arrow broadhead combo around 500 grains from a 70lb bow that is shooting around 270fps. I don’t mind my...- ribo451

That’s odd. Go outdoors Idaho! Is where I get my tags. Maybe they are headquartered in Florida. You didn’t put in for one of those Florida elk tags did you?- ribo451

I’m certain that there are a lot more grizzly bears out there than the fish and game would like to admit to. I don’t know why they would lie about that but they seem to in my opinion. That or I just happen to encounter the very few bears they say we have frequently. On a positive note it seems...- ribo451

Good luck in the draw. I don’t know about the rest of the state but up here in the panhandle we are having an incredibly mild winter. Hopefully it stays that way and winter kill doesn’t occur.- ribo451

It will probably cut down on competition. That non refundable hunting license will probably deter a lot of people. Did you put in for anything?- ribo451

Try this for whitetails
I guess one other complaint I have is that I hunted the whole time hoping for snow and we never got any. Now I am headed to stare at my in-laws for thanksgiving and it snowed overnight. Oh well.- ribo451

I’m probably done for the season. There is a chance I will get out next Monday which is our last day. I only hunted a handful of days. I filled two tags and didn’t fill the last one but had some of the best days I’ve ever had hunting whitetails. I live in a place where you don’t see piles of...- ribo451

Congratulations. That looks like a nice place to hunt. I wish we had hardwood forests here. Sitting in a treestand on a nice fall day bowhunting whitetails over acorns sounds like a good way to spend a day.- ribo451

I am heading out to hunt this afternoon but I wanted to stop by that mock scrape I made and freshen it up in case my parents wanted to try hunting there. This guy was in the scrape when I got there. I plan on holding out for a nice one with my last tag and if this guy was in the area where my...- ribo451

If anyone is interested in trying a deer scent this is the one I used for the last buck I got. I’ve never had any luck with artificial scents and didn’t think they really worked. I bought this one on Amazon because it was relatively cheap compared to others. I had planned on using it as a...- ribo451

2024-25 Whitetail Meat Pole
I’ve got one more tag for deer. It’s a draw tag for an antlered whitetail in a CWD quarantine area. It’s the same area I have hunted all my life but they found CWD there a year or two ago so now it has some special rules. I’m hoping to get out for that tag and am planning on holding out for a...- ribo451

Passthrough
I’ve shot 8 bulls and two whitetails. Clean pass through on both deer. I haven’t had a pass through on an elk yet. Some of those arrows were in the off shoulder but maybe 5-6 of them were broadside shots that just didn’t go through. I’m shooting an arrow around 420 grains out of a bow shooting...- ribo451

I filled one of my three deer tags. I probably would have passed on this guy two weeks ago when I thought I would have lots of time to hunt in November. But my freezer is pretty empty and I spent 10 days laying on my couch with the new strain of Covid so I’m behind on projects and will probably...- ribo451
