I'll tell you I am absolutely hook on archery elk hunting. I think the weird weather had a lot to do with the reduced success this year. the first weekend it was good and cold and then it just warmed up and got almost hot. I thought for sure with the new moon that the elk would be more active...
Thanks Delw. I pride myself in my stories. I would like to again thank all of the poeple who gave me tips and advice. I found the elk. I just couldnt line up for the best possible shot. I refuse to take iffy shots. I feel I owe the animal nothing less than my best and that just simply didnt...

I really enjoy picking my nose. Wanna shake hands?
Not really. I dont really have anything that would qualify as a fetish. I am an impulse shopper. Everytime I go someplace that has sporting goods I have to buy something. Even if I dont need anything and even if I already have a similar item. I...
Well, as far as big game goes not too many. Here in AZ I have not had too much luck with the draw. I drew an archery bull elk tag this year, so hopefully there will be a great tale to be told towards the end of september. I did get drawn for archery javelina the last year and took my first "big...
