Hi Ho, Hi Ho...it's off for moose we go...WE are BACK! pics added.

[LONGHORN]

Yes less than 3 weeks,just got back from Sherbrooke,Que,had a busy longggggg weekend,I better get things going here or I'll be running          .

[B.O.D.]

Was just out shooting...even though I have a few of Jim's bows, and a new chekmate thunderbird on the way next week...My 1st bow from Jim, a  64" 56# @ 26" cocobolo/osage/maple riser, maple core, osage lams; will be the starter.
She gets the call! She is sooooo sweet and hums those tapered ash in like nobodys business  

She may not be fancy as the newer bows, but she fits like an old glove and she loves me.

  Plus, she is proven!

Cary I don't think turkey's are legal this time of year        

[B.O.D.]

a turkey is a whole lot smaller than a moose, I'm thinking maybe we can get an arrow into one eh Luke?

   

[LONGHORN]

You made a good choice Cary,you feel comfortable and first of all,confident with your weapon.
That tom is roughly the size of a moose boiler room,won't be a problem for you Cary.
If all things are perfect for a stalk,I want to get anywhere from 5 to 15 yard,then,pick a spot        :D    :D    

[LONGHORN]

Cary,I've got plenty of stump erras,working on 6 more now and making a dozen more hunting erras,those will be tipped with Magnus1 160gr 2-blade broadheads,they will be making the trip and will be my primary ones.
Will bring 6 more tipped with snuffer 160gr to teach bears a lesson    :D  . Almost done with the sharpening,and working down the list right now.I will resume shooting tomorrow,been healing an elbow problem lately and I think it should be ok now.

[B.O.D.]

I think I'll bring some snuffers for bears as well, I have 3 or 4 of them here, plus Manny just ordered us each a pack of 160 gr STOS heads!! mine will be a gift from him for my hunt, way cool eh?
Manny is a swell dude.
I have another pack of 145 gr STOS, I'll check which ones will fly best, not sure the 15 gr, will make alot of difference in killing performance, but the 145's may fly a bit better, if not, I'll have the 160 gr. bad boys ready.

Man, a buddy and me were in an new area today to hang a few deer stands...no compass, no GPS and I never bothered to flag our way in.
took us 3 HOURS to get out! lol
STUPID mistake. It is a big area.
I'm definately taking a compass, and a GPS when we go for moose, 'cause that area is "alot" bigger!

 you want to make sure you find your stands comes opening day.
I have 145gr snuffer if you want them,never used them ,still in package.For my part I like the 160gr and I have plenty.

[SERGIO VENNERI]

Yo Serge; Thank you for the invite!! sure would loke to join you all, but I'm still working on a bull teg, possibly buy one from an outfitter if I can!! just back from visiting sick uncle in Italy, was gone almost a month! missed the best part of Bear season already.
Kep in touch!!

[LONGHORN]

You are always welcome Sergio and there will always be a log in the fire for you bud.Sorry to hear about your uncle and wish the best for him.
Keep in touch.
Serge

[LONGHORN]

Just did some Magnus1 this morning,man those things are scary sharp         ,got rid of all the air on my right hand    :eek:  ,almost done with the arrows that will be behind those heads,this will be a deadly combo    

[B.O.D.]

Just got in from doing the hills again with my 65 pound pack, 2400 yards, 1200 up, 1200 down! lol  

My buddy and I were out early this am, hung 2 stands in a good deer spot, wayyy back I  off the main trail.
sharpened a few STOS heads, man they are WICKED,scary.     as soon as the 160's come in, they will be honed up too.

Most of my stuff is ready, still need a bear tag, and to do my food list.

It's coming together.
See you Sat. Serge.
BD

[LONGHORN]

Yep,things are adding-up,being packed and only 14 days left to go.

[THE FOREST WITCH]

Hey Guys,
the countdown is on....          Just a reminder to pack enough food, there won't be any quick trips to the grocery store.
Heard you got lost the other day Cary, remember, FLAGGING TAPE!    

Kelly

[B.O.D.]

I am NEVER lost....I did get powerfully turned around for a few hours though...          :p  

Scary sharp??? oh yeah, them STOS are Slicker than Owl S#$%! lol

( actually, that is what STOS means)

[northern fisher]

Well guys it's good to see that you are all pumped up for your trip.It should be a great time and I hope many memories are made,kill or no kill,I'm sure that just being there will be worth all the effort.
Cary don't you worry none about them bears ,we live with those buggers everyday,those politicians down in Toronto assure us that we don't have a bear problem,so that must be true ,RIGHT?
From the last few nights on my bear stands I've seen that they don't eat a lot at one time ,they grab and go. The worst that could happen is you lose a chunk of your ass LOL.You can brag about how much weight you lost on your trip.        
I didn't draw any tag so I will only hunt for  a calf but I have a 4 day solo trip planed.Maybe hunting alone is not the smart thing to do but I love to hunt by myself.I guess it is because it is such a contrast to the construction sites that I seem to spend so much time on.
Well gentlemen I wish you success and look forward to seeing your pictures.
Kelly I hope you are doing well
OBB I will be giving you a call and Frank I hope your hunting season goes well and send pics

Keep,em sharp and pick ye'r spot
Gary

[LONGHORN]

Thanks Gary, we'll do our best.I'm with you on the political side of bear issues     .
I wish yo luck also on you solo hunt and be careful out there.
Serge
