Just a big SHOUT OUT to all members of this site. We may have argued and agreed to disagree. But at the end of the day we are all one big family.  Aaron would be shocked and in tears if he could see how much people cared for him and his family. Truly has hit home that our hero is hunting in a better place!

Till we meet again Colockumelk! Keep the wind in your face!!

I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

We at Radical Archery Designs want to put up three bows for the auction.  All three bows will be shipped from the factories to RAD, Inc. and we will take care of freight to the winners of the Auction.

#1 - Working together with Archery World, Vancouver, WA we will be donating a camo 2013 RH 70# Hoyt Carbon Element .  Winner can chose either 26-28" or 28-30" draw length.

#2 - Working together with Bear Archery we will be donating any standard camo compound bow from Bear Archery's 2013 catalog. Order for bow will be placed with the factory as soon as the winner advises RadSav of what model, draw length, poundage and RH/LH.  The 2013 lineup is filled with some really great bows!  I myself will be spending most of the upcoming seasons shooting the Motive 7 - one of the three bows I rated as a 2013 over $800.00 top choice.

#3 - Working together with Bowtech Archery we will be donating any standard camo or Black Ops compound bow from Bowtech Archery's 2013 catalog. Order for bow will be placed with the factory as soon as the winner advises RadSav of what model, draw length, poundage and RH/LH.  This includes the Experience which I also rated as a 2013 over $800.00 top choice.  The only other bow you may see me shooting in the upcoming season.
    Dang man!  Michael and I have been doing really good and then we get on here and see stuff like this and we lose it all over again!  We are just so touched!  We cry, then we tell stories and laugh, then log on and read a bit and on here and repeat process.  -karl

I never met the guy, but enjoyed his posts here.  He had a great sense of humor, and I'll miss him.  Seems like the good ones leave us too soon.  Safe journey, Captain!  :'(

We had this discussion yesterday and Dale advised us:
Hunt-WA can not sell guns as we don't have an FFL.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Ribka,  maybe just list it in the classifieds yourself, and then after it sells, donate the money?
