Any Hunters Among Us?

[JWOOD]

I've been a long time hunter. Mostly pursue game with archery tackle these days in VA. I've hunted MT archery elk once, what a blast that was! I hope to get back out west next fall.

I run Bird Dogs love Quail hunting and Ducks as well. Any bird in flight sounds good.

found a threat I do know something about haha. (Joke at my novice skills of 4x4 off reading which I hope to remedy with the help of OB) grew up hunting in the delta of north western Mississippi. Hunting what I can the 3D's. Deer duck and dove. Would love to branch out some day and attempt hunting else where. Looking into possible hunting duck in Arkansas this year.

Archer here. Looking forward to getting familiar with desert hunting, as I move to AZ in the coming months. I'll be getting a trail truck here soon to help me out with "access" issues.

Living up in Sask Canada, the amount game to hunt is unreal. You just gotta go looking for it, and put in the hard work. Hoping to get drawn for Speed Goats this year, never had the change to hunt one before.
Here is my son and I in 2012 with the 243" n change WT i took after hunting 45ish days looking for it, i knew it was out there just would never show itself. Finally met my muzzleloader one day. Magasine cover with the two biggest WT deer taken in 2012 in Saskatchewan, my non typical and the typical.

Beautiful deer.

I've got a bow that is new to me. Got the draw length adjusted (which means I don't have any arrows I can use anymore) and put a new sight on. The sight needs to be set up, its one of those single pin adjustable deals so I need to get it ranged. I'm pretty sure I will have to have it ranged again once I bring the draw weight back up to peak. Its at 47 now (post shoulder surgery) and I will hopefully have it up to 65 by hunting season (I doubt my shoulder will ever do more than that again). Anyone ever ranged and sighted in a single pin adjustable sight? Is it a pain or pretty simple?

I hunt in Upstate NY and also bird hunt with my dog.

Did mine via the archery shop I bought it at. Had there own range to shoot inside with and they got me hooked up and ready to go.

Do you have a single pin sight? How do you like it? Ive never used one. I def have gap issues on the longer shots with my 3 pin so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Nope, I have a 5 pin actually but I had them set it up. I shot they adjusted as needed.

Hunter here big time. My hunting partner moved to upstate NY, but we were normally out at least twice a week.

Normally I harass harmless baby bunnies, but it sometimes gets interesting. Lion was taken while coyote hunting (yes it was legal with tag) about 15 miles north of Phx Az in Bloody Basin. Baby bunny was photographed and sent on its merry way.

This was the hunting trip that caused me to get my truck modified. Almost stuck in deep mud on top of Black Rock Mountain on the Arizona / Utah border. Never saw another person for several days. Would have been $5000 to get recovered. Got out of the mud but swore I would never be in that spot again. Nice little fox for my troubles.

Got all new licenses for PA this past week, can't wait for seasons to start opening! Coyote hunting for me on Monday night coming up. Hoping to have a successful night at a buddys farm. Will keep you guys posted.

This was how they set up my bow as well @cjones. Unfortunately, I capped at around 55 pounds and couldn't go any higher because of a left arm injury. I tried everything to build it up, but now made the plunge and got my crossbow permit. I've been practicing and it's great, so accurate, but very unforgiving compared with a compound bow.

I answered below, and had told you via message a little while ago how I had to goto a crossbow. Unfortunately, it was a really hard decision because in MA there is no going back to compound once you have the disability stamp on your hunting license. With your compound bow, how far will you take a shot in New England woods? I can't imagine being able to go much further than ~25-30 yards at the most. I'm going to be putting up tree stands soon and practice on 3D targets. We have a few months until it begins. Do you have a date for your move?

Very cool! I know that area well - being in Hildale, UT.
