Hello fellow hunters. I am going on my first Trad hunt this weekend so I thought I would sign up and say hello. I rifle hunted for many years and wanted to give archery another go. In WA state, you have to designate which hunting method you use when buying a tag, so I'm locked in for this year. As my name implies, I also like to bird hunt with my German Shorthair. The early season for archery lasts pretty much all of September so this will work perfectly for getting my dog out more this fall.
I had a Martin compound bow a few years back but never really liked shooting it. When I decided on archery, I definitely wanted to give traditional a go. Boy is it addicting! I started with a 50# Kodiak Mag that I found at a pawn shop and shortly added a 29# Bear Cub I bought online. I will be hunting with a 50# Omega Delta Shortbow that forcibly sends my full length Gold Tip Traditional's with 150gr Stinger Buzzcuts down range. I'm hunting in an area of Eastern Washington that I am very familiar with - I've harvested 2 spike elk over the last 4 years. I built a ground blind over a well used mud wallow that I can't wait to get to on Saturday. God willing an elk or mule deer will come by to greet me!
