I added a secondary gripper to my tight spot and it really makes a difference to holding the arrows tight, and limiting noise. No idea why it isn't stock equipment on a $150 quiver, but anyway... https://www.tightspotquiver.com/store
I keep a mechanical in my quiver in case I feel the need to...
This weekend the California Bowmen Hunters will be hosting the annual state broad head championship at the Tejon ranch. This is an awesome event that any should come out to if possible.
42 unmarked 3D targets per day shooting broad heads at realistic hunting scenarios (no rangefinders). The...
For reasons not of my choosing (theft) I had to get a new bow. My last one was a #80 @28" Bowtech Guardian that I was getting about 275fps with a 450gr arrow.
This one is #70 @28" and with the same weight arrow is getting 282fps and is as dead in the hand as anything I have ever shot. I shot...
My old man and I drew 22N late season archery, anyone else had the tag? Low odds of success but hunting elk in AZ beats not!!!
Feel free to pm any info as well, just starting the research but wondering about other people's experience that late.
I have had the Con-x version for a year now and love it, but about 2 weeks before my tule elk hunt I could not find mine and ordered this one, only to realize that I had tossed it in my golf bag for my annual golf outing.
My stupidity is your gain. I consistently get readings out to 800yds on...
After 10 years I drew a chance to hunt tule elk here in Kalistan. This was a unique hunt as the season was initially to be only 7 days starting the week of Thanksgiving. Luckily they added a few days to the hunt, and I ended up needing them getting this pretty girl to come home with me on day...
My knuckleheads and I are going to do some backcountry trout fishing in the sierra's and I would love to get them some 3000ci or so packs without buying new since they will likely not fit very long.
Anyone got anything? Old frame pack, etc. works fine. Really just something big enough they...
Having moved here years after the current points system in Kalistan started I knew a bull tag was all but impossible without max points (pretty much impossible with max points) so I have been putting in for archery cow for 11 years and finally drew it. Now I can get that species!
It is a...
I keep debating getting a .204 or the like for dedicating more time to fur hunting, does anyone use a .22LR? I have a 10/22 that I could put a small optic on, but not sure it is enough umpph for what I would use it for.
Thanks fellas
Medium harness and Small belt (I am a 32" waist) and only owner. This pack has been used but taken care of as my everything pack for day hunts and multi-day hunts up to 5 days. It packs a load well. I have always packed meat that had time to dry before packing and ALWAYS washed the pack in...
Kalistan is one of a few states that have a fall turkey season. I spent the weekend with my youngest son chasing birds and was able to get this young hen the final afternoon of the season after many miles hiked and many opportunities falling short. The little guy did great and is excited to be...
I was able to locate one of the public land unicorns again and convince him to come home with me.
This area gets hit pretty well, but luckily this little piggy couldn't make his mind up where to go and I was able to get into position to make a shot.
I swear every year I find a way to...
I was able to get a decent old forky this year in a spot I hunt often.
I packed into the hot hills the third week of the season in central CA and found him looking for does.
Anchored him with a 250 yd shot from the .270 and gave him a ride in my pack to check out my freezer. I ended up...
I went out this weekend after bobcat and pigs, but got skunked.
Mid-day Sunday I noticed two medium sized blacktail jackrabbits coming out of the brush about 240 yards away while I tried to call a bobcat in, and I decided right there it was time to eat one of these things after reading how...

Now that the title got your attention...
A good buddy had family to attend to and recommended I take his GSP out to chase quail this past weekend when he couldn't. She worked her tail off and we ended up scratching out 9 for the weekend, of which the 6 below were taken in about 5 minutes right...
After determining the thunder chickens weren't going to play ball I hit a creek drainage to jump shoot ducks. Ended up with three, the first of which was wearing jewelry... Not sure what to marinate aluminum in, but we will see...
Got all three plucked and in a brine as we speak.
I was able to get a round into this big fella from 402 yards last year in some steep and deep stuff in Ventura County. After a fun retrieval I ended up with some of the sweetest avocado laced meat I have ever had. Unfortunately you have to cook bear well done, otherwise I would have had 100lbs...
