Well I havn't been on in a while working to much living not enough, but reading the stories was great. I did get to go out and hunt a little and as always fun and spiritualy in lightening. I do have some elk in the freeze thanks to one of my wheelie shoot'n buddies :-[ but good the same. As for my season we could call it a bust full of lessons I seem to be to stuborn to learn ;D lesson one dry ground, hot weather, and wearly winds are no good for spot and stock. Tree stands only work if you use them and best if one has the patience to sit them quitely. Three the bust when you build a bow and you see after shooting a while that a splinter is lifting under the raw hide backer, and you discuss a plan for fixing, fix it don't try to push it until after season. On the morning of the last Saturday while sitting in my stand for the first time in the season I was board and drawing my bow to check all of my shooting angles to make sure I would be ready if something did come in. Yup you guessed it pow Buster my little Juniper Bow come apart, violently :o Let me tell one more lesson to all of you who know this missfortunate response wood sometimes has to abuse, Please! do try this at home not in a tree it adds greatly to the excitement :o More T.P. please :laugh: lesson learned till next time >:D

lovin these stories. i recently had a mule deer/whitetail hunt, in eastern wa. half our trip would be huntin high for mulies, the other half down in the valley for whitetail/mulies. for mulie huntin we backpacked to the top of the ridge which is 6000 feet, and 6 mile hike, to stay for 2 nights sleepin by the fire, under the stars. it was a blast! not many deer were found up top but there were some big tasty blue grouse up there. i did get to stalk whitetail in the valley, me and my brother got within 15 yards of this big whitetail doe, i shot under, he shot over. one lucky doe.
im more of a hunter than a bowmaker, as in my bows are ugly compared to alot of guys on here, but she shoots good, bow is vine maple 52 ntn 54# 24, arrows are a mix of salmonberry, ocean spray, and sitka spruce all with zwickeys, fletched with duck goose and turkey feathers.
