I'm going to hunt exclusively with my old 1967 Bear Grizzly,She turns 40 this year!!!!!

Cedar arrows tipped with Bear Razorheads carried in my backquiver. I'm going to step back in time!!!!!   :archer:
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

Try to get a decent Mulie!
It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

I am going to get off the beaten path a little further.  I am planning on getting WAY further from the roads and other hunters.  Work a little harder.  I also plan to get my son out more this year.  He loves to hunt with Dad, I just don't take him out more than once or twice a year (he is only 8).  Next year he will be in my camp a lot more.

I'm going to shoot cedars and heavy heads exclusively, get a ghillie suit and a ladder stand to add to the mix, and practice more!

Follow through....don't now a thing until the arrow is sticking in the ground on the other side.......

Also, try some 190 grain Ribteks on those stiff Ash arrows I have.

Stick with one set-up and pass on a few more doe. I filled all three tags this past year with doe, which I certainly don't mind. But I'm saving one tag out for a nice buck this year. Also I switched between three bows over last season. I still did good, but missed a couple shots that I shouldn't have.
Just one more step please!

This year I will not let a eight point buck walk away from me.  But then again I will never forget that feeling,

But I don't think I'll need to remember it twice !

KILL A MOOSE!!!!!

Moose be warned!!!!  If you live in the boreal region of Alberta, you are on my list.  You can run but you can't hide.  This is the year!!!!!!!

I also want to kill a Bear with a bow I built myself this spring.

You ever see one of those whopper "Bow Zone" deer Brian? Ever since I read a few articles on that area, I have been fascinated with that place.

YEP!!!!  Never drew down on one with my bow though.  I am so obsessed with killing a moose, that I have almost ignored those monsters!!!!!

BTW - I live in the bow zone!
