Washington State Bowhunters / Archery world in Lacey has any good deal before closing?

« Last post by eddyr on Today at 12:59:25 PM »

I believe the store is closing December 23rd? Wondering if it's worth the drive for me to go there to pick up my very first bow setup or I should just go to a store closer by. If anyone has any info I appreciate it. Thanks

The only lakes that I know of that have walleye is Moses lake, potholes and Banks. Banks will freeze on the north end on a good winter but it’s still sketchy, the other 2 don’t freeze. If you have your heart set on ice fishing for walleyes you might have to go to Minnesota or Wisconsin. My husband and I ice fish every year that is a good winter in the NE corner but we’ve been threatening to go back east and rent an ice castle, I think it would be super cool (no pun intended). I’ve always wanted to lay in bed, ice fish and watch football all at one time .

Moses doesnt freeze? HMMMM I have ice fished Moses many times . I have never caught a walleye through the ice only perch and crappie but Moses can definitely freeze.

Moses lake will freeze from time to time but hasn’t been a reliable ice fishing lake for a long time. I wish it would it would be a blast to ice fish.

You need to do it, and if the unit has multiple species of deer. Say WT and MD, you need to keep proof of species. In that case you need to leave the tail attached, since the antlers most won’t be attached to anything.

I’m no expert by any means, but when I do euro mounts after I boiled the skull and cleaned all the meat off I’ll clean the pot and put fresh water in with some OxiClean and reboil. Then I’ll bring the hydrogen peroxide to a slow boil put the skull in for 30-40min and it seems to get the rest of the oils out. If there’s still dark spots I’ll l use the salon care 40 volume cream and just brush it on the areas as needed.

Guns and Ammo / Seekins PH3

Anybody have any experience with one of these, or Seekins Precision in general? Want to replace my 06’ which they don’t offer but would consider another caliber. How’s the accuracy if you have? Heard their customer service is top notch. Let’s hear the good and bad.

Gonna be fun to find the largest piece of meat when they have to be boned out to transport.

I just bone a rear quarter out on one whole piece and if it’s a male, you only have to leave a few inches of the dick attached. Super easy. Females I leave part of the udder attached and that’s easy as well

I know a lot of guys (most probably) leave all the junk hanging there until they get it home. You only have to leave an inch or two of the penis tube.

Taxidermy & Scoring / Degreasing A Deer Skull

What is the longest you have had to degrease a deer skull? I am going on week 5 and it is still looking grimy. Have done a dozen or so (deer & elk) over the years and never taken this long. My degreasing process is soak in warm water (fish tank heater) with dawn dish soap. I change the water 1-2 days depending on the clarity of the water.
