Stone Glacier pack is magnificent. I think it gives me superpowers.
You should probably wear it when you do the 22's for time!


Yeah, about that... After much thought and strategery, I'm probably gonna pass on that. I'm already in the best elk hunting shape of my life. I'm eating right and working out pretty damn hard. I've got nothing to prove and I just don't see any real upside to doing it at this point, esp with the season right around the corner. And furthermore, I don't give a damn how much crap you people give me about it. Hard pass.


I actually just finished my 2nd run at it just a bit ago. Started raining on me 1/2 way through- never been so thankful to run in the rain! But now I'm not gonna tell you my time...

It always helps me to have a target or goal to be working towards, so I enjoy the personal challenge of trying to improve. I always stick with it better when I'm competing- even just against myself.

Daycare is closed. So we've been tuning broadheads all morning instead of working.

Mbg ascent
4" dovetail
.019 green
.019 yellow
.019 green
.010 yellow
.010 green

A little dinged up. Still functional. Pins are great. I like the mbg pins better than the spot Hogg.

I'll send it to someone on this thread for $125.

Just finished the 22's in 32 minutes. Not sure how that will translate in October at 11,000k feet but doing it in 95 degrees has to count for something even at sea level.

NRD09s plan for success

1.) Set up by water hole

2.) Whack 'em

3.) Pack 'em

I'm not even sayin it's a bad plan. It's worked before, right?

I crunch up caffeine and ibuprofen.

I say you ain't elk huntin until you're dry heavin'!

in my defense I've never shot an elk on a water hole (or a wallow). Not that I haven't tried, just hasn't worked out for me. But after moving out of the mountains and getting fat I feel like I've learned a little from the old guys who put in a tenth of the miles that the young guys do and are straight killing machines. There is a lot to be said for slowing things down a bit, even if it's just to get your heart rate down.

There is a lot of truth here.

I'll shoot an elk on water or a deer within sight of my Jeep, and not hesitate for a second. I tried to do the latter several times last year. Ain't no shame in mg game. All my miles ain't just for elk and deer. They are for my kids.

Little more work on the broadheads today. If it's not windy tomorrow I should have them mofos zeroed in.

When I get broadheads grouping satisfactory w field points I'm gonna head to the shop and tinker more.

Getting pretty close. I think I'm like two 1/32" moves away.

Y'all are posting some impressive times with the 22's. I've been slacking. I broke 2 ribs recently. New experience for me and it sucks. It's been almost 5 weeks. Just in the last few days they've finally knit back together so they aren't clicking and crunching all the time. I've been able lift and run a bit so I'm running out of reasons not to give the 22's a try. Hopefully soon.

Haven't shot my bow either during this stretch. I'm behind in my preparations...gonna try to get caught up with y'all soon though.

Some Western States Info...

Nevada has banned the use of game cameras from 1 August to 31 Dec. Also if your camera can transmit images it's banned from use starting 1 July.

34 minutes on the 22's just now. Two minutes slower than last week. Can decide which excuse to use

More strict on movements this week, or
Ran "hills" at 5:30 this morning at white oak bayou, or Heat that makes Houston feel like Satan's taint...

On another note... I have my broadheads so dialed in, it is beautiful. I'm in the zone... like Neo from the Matrix seeing dots and dashes zone.

Way to go! Keeping at it is the most important thing!

I'm planning on giving it another go tomorrow- on a family vacation in TX. But I'm not going to run at 4pm- that I can guarantee...
