How do you feel about the use of mechanical broadheads on Elk? What kind of broadheads do you use on elk? Thank you for your consideration. - randy brown 07/18/2003, ID=2185 |

I'll be hunting antelope in Nevada this year and as usual I planned to be hunting from a blind at a water hole. I've always built blinds 3 - 4 weeks before the season and taken them down at the end of the season. However, this year while getting ready to build the blind a BLM range cop came up and told us we weren't allowed to build a 'permanent' structure on BLM land. Permanent being defined as anything with 3 or 4 walls that you can't pick up and carry off, or anything that would remain unattended overnight. As he left he said, 'Consider yourself warned, I'll be looking for your truck during the season'. I'm not questioning the legality his statements, so I'm left with either stalking, decoying or using a pop up blind. I've chosen the pop up blind and ordered a Double Bull recurve model in Predator Deception Camo. So my question is, do you have knowledge or experience using a pop up blind for antelope? Are they effective when set up the morning of a hunt and are there ways to make them more effective when cover is limited to sage brush less than two feet tall? - Scott Tilzey 06/26/2003, ID=2180 |

I was wondering what your thoughts are on how moon phases effect elk during the rut. I've seen alot of articles on moon phases and whitetails, but not much on elk behavior during the different phases. Thanks Steven - Steven 06/25/2003, ID=2178 |

I shoot a 55lb. osage self-longbow that is 66 inches long. My arrows are 500 grains, with a 2-blade Bear Razorhead. It is not a speed demon by any means, but hits relativly hard. Do you think this set-up is adequete for elk at 25 yards or less? - Brad Merkel 06/25/2003, ID=2177 |
