I haven't seen Dave around lately.
Sure would be cool if he could make it to the campout this year!
Have you been bowhunting Dave? How did you do this year? Pictures please.
And while I'm at it, Cal' and any others, how did you all do hunting with the sharp sticks?

I hear that he is real busy lately. Yeah, he is missed, a great source of information. He will be back. Maybe the fastest way to get him to the campout is kidnap? The mere threat of which caused Cal to cooperate!
Good hunting. LB

I've just been guiding. My hunters have killed over 20 antelope in the last 11 days. I get to start doing some hunting for myself in a few days. I have a good elk tag, an antelope tag, and a deer tag to fill with my bow. Don't know if I'll get it all squeezed in or not. I have learned alot about traditional archers in the last few days, and none of it was good. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

Cal', are you guys decoying or sitting over water? I got permission to hunt antelope on a great property this year for archery only. I'm a rookie to this. Well, I tried once and got a buck with a couple of does to come in a couple hundred yards (he was aboout a mile away) but just wouldn't commit. Not sure if I'll have anytime for antelope either. I'm going again for archery elk next weekend.

Loco, We do all of our hunting out of blinds over water holes. That is the only method that consistantly produces.While discussing bear hunting the other day I had one of the traditional "elite" tell me that he was going to alaska for a spot and stalk bear hunt and that he would never hunt over "bait". This was while I was dropping him off at a blind on a water hole. Thats some funny shit right there! And after his performance on antelope he is most likely going to get ate in alaska!

Oh boy, are we going to find out who this gentleman is, (at the campout), or did he pay you to keep quiet?
Or, maybe he blamed you for his performance and your tip was advice , instead of Ben Franklin's?
Good hunting. LB

HA, that is funny...on both accounts. LOL

No one well known or anything. Just a hunter, rather group of hunters that were of the opinion that if you don't shoot traditional you really aren't a bowhunter. All the while I was tracking down all the antelope that they maimed and wounded. Some of them couldn't even get anything wounded. One missed a total of 7 shots over the course of the hunt all at less that 25 yards. I rarely run into a group of hunters I don't like anymore, but these took the cake.
Edit to tell LB, they were from California. But I won't hold it against you personally.

That's funny, right there! Figures, though. Hate to say it.
Good hunting. LB
edit: I'm losing it! Forgot to add, most of those Californees came here from Wyoming and Kansas. As everybody knows, hardly anyone was BORN here.

yep, all uf straight folks stayed home and let them go on out that way. You're welcome. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
LOL, Cal. I know a lot of archery hunters and there are a few down to earth primitive tradionalists amongst them, but some of those longbow boys are elitist as hell. If you wanna have fun, pull out a crossbow and say, "Look what I just bought so I can bowhunt, too!" ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on September 13, 2008, 02:23 PM:
so, are these elitists, Pampass ass know-it-alls?
WE are stopping them at the border, Lance. Don't send any more.
Good hunting. LB

3Toes; The 'eliteist' attitude is even worse that you think. I shoot compound (sight w/fingers) and recurve (instinctive). I was once told by a trad dude that the deer & javelina that I got with the 'curve didn't count because I shot off of a rest instead of off of the shelf. This while I was BBQing deer meat taken with the 'curve!!!!!

Kokopelli
