  4. my dad just told me that before his cousin ( jeff ) went into the high country business that he had a hoyt that had the draw weight of over 90.im not shure what exactly it was all he remeembers it that it was a hoyt they might still have them out/makeing them im not shure. elkoholic 10-Pointer Join Date: Jul 2001 Location: Montana Posts: 1,334 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It appears to me that those archers who can not pull 90+ lbs can find all the reasons in the world not to. Using the theory of why use a 90 lb bow when you get a perfectly dead deer with a 45 lb bow. then, why use anything other than a willow stick, some string and a few hickory arrows tipped with stone heads? The guy may be pulling your leg, but, maybe not. Personally, I have no trouble pulling 90+ lbs after many hours on stand in 10 degree weather, but I also enjoy shooting at 70 lbs (and probably at 10 lbs). Many of the "professional" hunters appear to strain when coming to full draw and that has often puzzled me, but they seem to get the job done. After 40+ years of bow hunting I have come to the conclusion that whatever floats your boat is fine with me as long you are a legal/ethical hunter who can make the shot when the opportunity arrives. yeaa elk, ive been puzzled by that a few times myself
  5. i shoot a high country bow that was custom made for me by my dads cosuin ( jeff blodgett ) , he owns a high country shop,sells bow and that kinda stuff. i shoot high country speed pro max ss s-hg arrows. and no im not related to the person in oklahoma and im about twice as big as the fellow he mentions.and ok i will post some picts when i get around to it or i might have one on my computer im not shure. i also have a 3d bow that i shoot that is made by high country.its the new high country iron mace.the limbs that come on it only max out at 70 lbs my dad cousin ( jeff ) is special ordering me some bigger draw weight limbs but using the 5.5 speed max carbon arrow at 70 lbs it shoots 380-390 ft per second and the ibo is 330-340 thats if u use beamen or some other brand of arrow
  6. theres a sign up thing on the small game folder somewhere, at the top i think

  10. weve hit close to 100 mph on my raptor..it sucks with mudd tho so id say a can am
  11. some people can shoot 90+ lb bows some others cant..i dont have any proublems pulling it back in nov with big warm clothes on..i usually try to put the coat or whatever it is on before i go hunting or anywhere and do a test pull before i go in the woods or leave the house. i like my bow at 90-95 lbs caus some of those big buck or even big doe can jump the string of some bows at 35-40 yards.with mine i havent had a deer jump my string and they usually only go 30 yards max after i shoot it usually it kinda wobbles and then falls within 30yards of wherever i shot it..so it all depends..if they cant pull it back with ease then they shouldnt shoot it b/c theres a chance that they'll wound the deer.i shoot my bow 10 shots a day with 10 arrows so im shooting 100 or sometines over 100 arrows a day so i know how it shoots and it also can help because of the fatique that way u know ur limits when u go out ( say if u shoot 100 times and u can still shoot good groups then theres a better chance ull be more accurate , this is not always true with all people but for me and my dads cousin it is )
  12. shure why not nysbuckmaster New York Sept 1st - Feb 29th
  13. i have a high country and its set at 90 right now..i work out every day and have football and lacrosse practice everyday and im not as small as the guy u mentioned im like 192 lbs.in a month or so ill raise my bow back up to 92 lbs just before season..my dads cousin that sells/is a dealer for high country, his bow is at 90 some lbs too but he works out alot also and goes all over the us on hunting trips

  17. yepp i have all my tags from last yr.isnt ur guys muzzleloader open then too?
  18. my biggest buck ive killed ( 140 class 9 point) so far is from a treestand that was 8-10 ft in a tree it walked right under me and i drew when he was under me and waited for a shot i ended up shooting him at 7 yards. i agree what swamphunter said and it also depends on much movement u make. a week after i shot my deer my uncle sat in their had a even bigger buck then mine come in but he saw him and left. so u can get away with haveing it at 8-10 ft and sometimes u wont
