As Colorado results trickle in thought i would post some of last years success. Don’t often get time to hunt but managed a few days afield this year.

Anyone have success with a electronic or string operated Turkey Decoy? Like the Mojo Quarter Pounder? Or tying fishing line to a decoy?

And if so, was it a certain time of the season or month?

Well, our 2016 Ontario bear hunt was an epic success. We had 8 hunters in our camp and we had 4 nice bears down the first day, with every hunter tagged out in 3 days! The outfitter we used was nothing short of amazing and we felt like family soon after we arrived. The first picture was my 275lb boar and the second was my good friend’s 311lb boar. I’m pretty sure we’ll be going back in a couple of years for another bear hunting trip. The fishing was great as well and we were able to eat fish every night we were there.

I killed this black bear last Thursday at 11:45AM with Wilderness Family Outfitters located on Wollaston Lake in Northern Saskatchewan. I shot him from the ground at 7 yards with my recurve. The bait had two large boars on it in the past week, one black and one cinnamon. This bear was not one of them. After comparing the scars on the bear we called Angus to the one I killed, it was obvious it was a new bear on the bait. It scaled at 336 pounds, squared over 7 feet and has a B&C skull. This is the second book bear I have taken in this concession in only two trips there. The last one scored 18 15/16" and I took it in 2013. Head guide Jim Brennan is in the center photo with me and lodge owner Ruben Reddekopp is in the other.

1st time in a long time I actually hunted by myself on opening day (usually calling for my son or someone else). But my son was at school and I went by myself. Really wish he had been there because we might have been able to double up again. When I figure out how to post video I will put it up. 11" beard – 1" spurs. Ramcats and Dave Smith decoys equal bad medicine..

I bought shuttle t’s, but haven’t got the chance to use them on an animal. I’ve heard many good things about shuttle t’s. If you use or used shuttle t’s can you post a picture of the damage it did, or the shuttle t story.

I tried BEA (Carnivore 350) for the first time this offseason for paper and foam. I am impressed with the quality and durability of the shafts. I am in the process of building some hunting arrows (IL/IN whitetail) using the Carnivores (7.5 gpi) and am just curious what some of you guys are getting for finished weight and FOC.

Please add your arrow choice, arrow dimensions, component choices, and bow specs – – and any stories/pictures of successful harvests.

I have shot GoldTip Hunters 7595 (8.9 gpi) for the last 13 years so I also ordered a dozen BEA Outlaws (8.6 gpi) to build as well.

Thanks guys and good luck this fall.

So I needed a set of 29"draw cams for a Prime Impact…. Didn’t buy the bow from a dealer in this area so no chance of any love on a even up swap. One dealer quoted me 125-130.00 outright and the other quoted me MSRP of 135.00 but if i were to trade in my 28" cams and pay 75.00 they would swap me 🙁 Well out an ad on the ole inner web here and BOOM…Brand new set for 65.00 TYD! Boooo Yahhhhhh Im happy!
