Awfully quiet in here...

[Scoot]

Anyone shooting their bows? Shed hunting? Working out in prep for the upcoming season? Any new equipment that's worth sharing? Big plans for the upcoming Fall?

What's up in your archery world?

I put a new string and cables on my bow last night ! First time I did it by my self . I just got a home made x press a few months ago . Now I need to learn to tie a string loop and install a peep

[matchset]

I have been shooting pretty frequently.

We just passed half way of our animal leagues. My partner and I won the first half, so we are guaranteed a spot in the shoot-offs.

Also helping to teach a Saturday morning kids league. There are 3 seperate age classes, here's the younger ones:

Looks like Patti's got it figured out:

I've been pretty worthless this winter. With the cold and snow I just can't get myself motivated to pull out the bow. Every spare minute I have has been spent working on remodeling my home, so I haven't had a chance to go to the gym, take a walk in the woods, or even go ice fishing But, it's warming up and the remodel is almost complete, so by the second week in April I'll be moved back into my house which will not only give me time to shoot when it's nice, but also give me a basement to shoot in when it's not.

With 1st season turkey coming up I need to start shooting again! I also need to hit the gym. I've lost a lot of ground since last fall and it's going to really suck making it back up!

I really wanted to attend Don's class this spring, but there was just no way I could possibly make it work. I'll have to try to catch the next one.

Snow is still way too deep to get in the woods, but I've been shooting in the basement 3x/week and tweaking new gear. Will be chasin' gobblers in about 3+ weeks. A welcoming warmup for sure!

[frogtosser]

Just finished a spring indoor league and am doing research for my elk hunt this fall.

[Archerysniper]

I hope to get out and shoot soon since

Don invited me. Other than that I am working on my Mt elk hunting plans for this fall and as soon as more snow melts I will be turkey nut's again like every spring.

[TattooedHunter]

Shootin' arrows in the basement, need to head out to a longer range soon. Twenty yards is nice and all, form is down pat, just need to apply that to 30 to 50 yard targets.

My new blind just arrived at Cabelas, pickin' it up in the morning. Just about Turkey ready. More practice on the calls.

[DonBo]

I hope to get out and shoot soon since

Don invited me.

League tonight, Chilakoot Shoot Sunday.....just say'n.

[rkhinrichs]

i need my fix of stories "Of the Hunt!"

[minky]

Yep a good story would hit the spot!

[Archerysniper]

Sorry Don I was down in redwing slamming some saugers today,it was nice to be back in the boat on open water again. Gordie and I didn't think to text you till we were 5 miles from your shop to see if you wanted to go. I will try and swing the Sunday shoot but I have fished the last 4 days and the wife might need me around.

[huntnfish]

This winter hasn't been a good one for ice fishing although I did get the kids out a couple times. I've been shooting league's a couple nights a week and whenever time allows during the day. I plan to give MN turkeys a try this spring with the bow and an over the counter tag. Hopefully I can find an extra dumb gobbler looking for love.

[Rippinlip]

Working out the body everyday, prepping for the upcoming turkey, deer and whatever other hunts I can pull off this year.

Shooting hunters league every week, I am in 4th place with just a few points separating the top 5 (always seem to wing an arrow every night)

Wife has taken over the top spot in her division and shooting lights out.

Have our 3rd indoor 3D shoot this weekend in Faribo and might be heading to Chilakoot on Sunday, depends on the weather. Sorry Don, when it comes to 3D's, I am a fair weather shooter.

We are hoping to jump on the wheelers and head on out to do some shed hunting in our local woods we hunt.

Doing some talking with other local farmers that we might be able to hunt their land this year. Former hunters messed up their chance by leaving garbage and other items in the woods.

Really just enjoyimg life as it comes.

OK, who am I fooling? Its all about archery hunting. LOL

No better approach than that!!!

I thought I was doing pretty good, but by the sounds of it I'm losing some ground on some of you guys! It's funny, it's easy to assume people aren't doing much when there's no chatter going on in here. Obviously that's not true. Great work fellas! I've finally rehabbed my shoulder and knee to the point where I can shoot and work out more than I have been. I had three workouts in a row where I 1) hurt my knee, 2) pulled my groin, and 3) hurt my knee. In total those three workouts had me on the sidelines for about six weeks. However, all seems to be OK now, so hopefully this old bod' can hold together for a while without another doctor's visit.

Shooting my bow more and more. However, top priority for shooting a bow right now is for my son-- he's going to chase turkeys in MN this year. Should be interesting...

Just purchased my Mt elk and deer lic yesterday and put in for the draw. The area I will hunt is 100% draw for bull elk tags but I would love to also draw a buck mule deer tag for that area. My friend that lives there says he will beat me if I draw that tag and won't let me shoot a mule deer under 180"

[Scoot]

Atta boy Sniper!!! I hope you go and have a great hunt! Is it an elk first, muley second hunt or vice versa? How long will you be gone for? Hunt from a basecamp or pack in somewhere?

Regardless, that should give you some motivation for shooting and working out this Summer!

[Archerysniper]

My plan right now is 14 days hunting and a day travel each way. We will be hunting from my friends cabin for elk and mulies if I draw a buck tag. If I don't get the mule deer buck tag it is still good for a whitetail buck and we can hunt some ranches in the vally he has permission for. I will go for elk first and if I get a crack at a good buck I will take it. This will be my first elk trip and first mule deer trip in the mountains,I took a mule deer back when I was in high school with my bow in Wyoming.
