I only carry 5 arrows at a time but throughout the years broadhead have just been collecting so I took them all down had new blades put in them then had them put on arrows. Once I have a broadhead tuned and on an arrow I don't take it off until it has been shot. I for one wouldn't leave on a week long hunting trip with less than 12 broadheads.
Hey, you shoot better than that!

The good idea fairy. She makes you bring way too many things. All those last minute, just in case adds.

70 yard pin set :chuckle:
Good shooting! Would you shoot an elk at 70 yards? ???

I think it is good to practice out far for two reasons. One is it makes those 30-40 yard shots seem way too easy. Also, if I get an arrow in an animal and he runs a bit and stops at 60 or 70 yards, I would love to be able to try and get another one in him before he gets into the deep, dark, nasty stuff. :tup:

I didn't mean that 70 yards was an unethical shot and I was just curious if he would or not. I also shoot way further than average distances in practice than I would in the woods.
After a few groups at 60 or more and then stepping in to 35, it's way easier. I think I would shoot at a broadside elk at 60, not a whitetail though.
For the record, D-Rock you are a much better shot than I

This is about to turn into one of those H2O Hunter / D-Rock threads now.
We held it off as long as we could

Don't drink that jack the night before either. One year I puked all the way up the hill in the am due to drinking Jack the night before the opener. Oddly enough, I shot a nice 4X3. Man that was hell packing that sucker hung over.

My theory is to just keep the jack flowing at a steady rate....not to little, not to much.....just a nice steady intake. I've got three tags that are all fair game with the bow. I've got plenty of time to do both.
H20, On a rare occasion elk and deer have been taken by the person that stays in camp during the day. It's happened in my deer camp a couple times. One of our deer camp a certain member usually takes a day off mid hunt and just relaxes and then an animal walks right through camp with him in his lawn chair. You to, could join that club... ;)

Stang.......bring extra beer and of course some fireball. I'm bringing an extra bow.....you can use that. My BIL shot is last so I'm sure it is still sighted in.
D....it has only begun. I got a new bannana hammock for sleeping.

Maybe i'll bring some fireball and a crap ton of beer. Nothing hydrates you for packing out a cow like a half rack of busch.
I decided i'm not bringing a bow.
Replace water with Fireball, while making pancake batter. Them's some good pancakes!! The alcohol gets cooked off but the flavor remains!!

A co-worker was working a couple miles from where I plan on setting up camp today and spent his lunch watching a herd of about 30 elk grazing in a large clearcut. Been a couple weeks since I've been up there, glad their still around.
