Hello everyone.
I am a new bow hunter, only 2 years, but I love it. I have harvested 3 animals to date, and am learning more every time I go out.
My husband (Stretch) and I are going to South Dakota to hunt mule deer in October. Along with hunting white tails here in Wisconsin I am hoping to harvest more animals this year. We did go to Iowa last year and I was able to do a spot and stalk on a Texas dall ram. We each harvested a ram, but mine was bigger and more handsome so mine is mounted and in our living room.
We are in the process of planning a safari in South Africa for August 2014. I am very excited for this adventure. I have started working out with my weights and will do a lot of practicing before then to get my bow weight up.
Thanks.
 
Welcome to AH Packsy.

You have the bug for the bow. Congrats on your success thus far.
 
Good for you Packsy and Welcome to AH! Your going to love Africa but you better get a second job because once you've been there you can't get enough of it and you to keep going back. Enjoy the site.

Welcome aboard Packsy from a fellow stick-flicker. I live just north of your next hunting destination in North Dakota. Mule deer are my passion. Unfortunately the population in ND has taken a real hit in the last three years - I hope you have some good luck down in SD this fall.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
