Bows in the brush?

[bloodhound]

Ive been hunting with a compound for about 15 years, never owned a sling, no cover for anything, and never had a problem with any of my bows. just keep it out the brush, keep it waxed. if i walk though heavy brush i hold it above me head or ill weave it through the brush in front of me as i walk making sure it doesn't hit any branches. i have seen by dad many times not care as he walked through bushes and pop out on the other side and i notice his quiver is missing, or he busted the pins off in his sight, or the fiber optic strand to the pin is busted out.

Primos bow sling fast and easy, then when you need two hands to climb to where the elk are  your bow will be safe, and not hundreds of feet below you!! well worth the money. Have and extra string handy at home at least and and a compact bow press to put it on just in case your bow shop and your buddy that can do it for you are all gone when you need then. could really save your hunt! Good luckwith your archery adventures!!!

Oh yeah a range fider comes in handy too. A allan wrench set to tighten anything that a might need tightened in the feild.

You used the term " west side tough" and then wanted to know how to protect your bow? I have heard the term Montana tough or country strong but never west side tough.

West side toughness can only be trully appreciated through experience. 

When the vegetation is so thick that you spend more time falling and rolling over brush than you do walking....when you can literally spend all morning trying to get a few hundred yards...when the rain is so hard and the brush is so thick that waterproof durable clothing is something that only exists in Narnia...when your wife is always complaining about fir needles, everygreen huck leaves, and moss showing up in the bed sheets and clogging up the washer machine...when your arms are so scared up from crab apple that you can't grow hair anymore...when "spot and stalk" is replaced with "stalk and hopefully spot"....

Those are just a few situatons that give a person westside toughness.

This could turn into something like the Chuck Norris thread.[/i

When you're used to tying elk down so they don't slide down the hill while you're cutting them up, you might be hunting the wetside.

When you have to explain to people that "it's not a rash on my arm, face, leg.....it's Devils Club.

When you walk a windfall 8 feet off the ground.....and the "brush" is still 8 feet over your head.

if you've ever had to pack a deer over more trees then around em, thats west side tough.

if you've ever considered the merits of an avalanche beacon as you drop into a nasty hole after an elk

[robodad]

When you climb onto a stump and there is enough room for both you and your buddy to set up a lawn chair and a cooler beside the 75' tree growing out of the center of it, you just might be huntin the west side !!

if you hear more animals then you see, thats west side tough!

Having lived in Grays Harbor as a kid, I'll say that it's got nothing on Northern Idaho when it comes to brush!

You guys realize that there are a lot places in the west that have thick brush and big vertical drops. I took a couple coasties to Wyoming with me a few years ago and it took them 2 days to catch their breath.
