That's getting the job done!

She's coming from Garrett Polk  Jimmy. 

Faith is on it's way to Jim and it should arrive Saturday.

I would like to use Hope in January, 2021.  I have a NM javelina tag then and think Hope looks like a killing machine. 

Can't wait til October for Hope to be here in MI. Hoping that you guys left some good mojo in her for me.

Steve, I just added you to the list on the 1st post on the 1st thread. 

When I came off the moutian form hunting last night I found hope had arrived. I shot her breifly before work this morning and I think I'm going to love this bow. I hope can get her tuned up quick because I have sure been seeing the deer and elk over the last 4 days of hunting!

I think miss Hope has a little story to tell you all.  But first I need to get back on the moutian the bulls are starting to talk and I have a big one with my name on it. Be back tomorrow

 

hello everyone, just a heads up here that Faith is missing in action. I have not received the bow, can some provide tracking info?

You cannot beat a JT Archery bow. Super high quality and best performers out there. Here is my new JT Zeus. 55# @27" 64" amo. It's the first 64" Zeus that John has made and as you can see is quite the looker. I also have a 49# Apollo and my son has a 50# 60" Apollo. John makes a fine bow.

It has been a pleasure to shoot Hope on my hunt this season. Over the last two weeks we had several encouters with elk and deer. Every trip out with Hope I have seen animals and some were inpressive animals. The first elk I seen with hope was a good "satellite bull" in a wallow. I say satellite bull but on this unit he's still a 300+ bull but I didn't have a limited entry tag! Spikes and cows here for me.  Twenty minutes later by pure luck I had a 180" typical buck and two does feed in close. The buck did not give me a shot but just seeing a good buck at 50 yards for 20 minutes is still cool. The conditions have been dry and hot making it hard to get close this season. I would say that I was lucky to see as many animals as I have this hunt concidering that the deer population is low and being in a drought this year. One blind I sat in with Hope I had 9 good 4x4 bucks feed by but still no shot. They just have that nack for staying just barley out of range. I was able to get close on elk almost every day. Even last night I still got pretty close to a herd of elk but it just got dark too quick. They are coming out late with the full moon. It's hard to hike out when they are still bugling. They are not in the full rut yet but are starting to talk.

Here is a pic of Hope and I coming out of the wallow system I seen the "satellite bull".

Here is a pic of Hope while I rest from chasing elk.

This last Monday night I was heading to a area I wanted to hunt elk when I seen a buck I had pasted up opening weekend. With it being one of the last nights I had planned to hunt with Hope I dicided I would give him a stalk. He was in the edge of some thick timber headed into a meadow. I snuck in down wind of him and started up in the edge of the meadow. Then for some reason he feed back into the timber. I wasn't sure if he had smelled me or not but I slowly work my way in the timber. It was hard to move quite so I just stoped and started looking for movement. The next thing I knew he was walking by at 15 yards! He was quartering away and looking the other direction so I let the arrow lose! The arrow hit where I was looking and he only went a couple of yards before getting his head gear wrapped up on a few small quakie's and going down right in front of me. It was over quick.

Over the last few seasons I have let a lot of bucks like this one walk by trying to shoot my nemesis the giant mule deer with traditional gear. It's not about how many inches or giant horns on the wall but more about out smarting a old wise buck. Having Hope in my hand shooting this buck will always remind me on how this buck is a true trophy.
