Hunting with the kids
September 16, 2013
Well our season here opened on the first with archery season. Kyle went on his sheep hunt for a couple days at the beginning of rifle (sept 10) and unfortunately we have found a lot this year is people not playing by the rules....aka driving in road closures. It has been unusually hot (high 20's -30C) and the animals have been harder to hunt. Most are staying by the rivers where it is very thick or is private property. But we still head out, hoping. The kids have gotten out tons and are having a blast.
We took them to a waterhole that gets lots of animal traffic. The waterhole is surrounded by a ridge that raps around from the north, east to the south end and the west end is timber. So we set up on the ridge laying down with the rifles about 30 yards apart. Girls vs. Boys. We had our phones on silent so we could communicate. After about 5 mins the kids were bored, Easton was fidgety and picking grass and Pheonix was rolling around whispering away. We didnt see anything. They lasted about 40 mins before we decided to pack up and the wind had changed and was blowing the wrong direction.
They had fun and thats what counts.

Loba Outdoors
September 16, 2013
Back in July, I was asked by a new and upcoming womens outdoor site if I would be interested in writing them an article on my mountain goat hunt. I accepted and had to keep it a secret until the site launched...I felt like I was going to explode with excitment lol. The site launched in the beginning of August and since then I have written 2 more articles for them.
The site is called Loba Outdoors and it is a site directed towards women that love the outdoors. They have categories for hunting, fishing and cooking. They also have a spotlight where you can nominate a woman for "Loba of the week", and they have a write up about them and pictures.
Keep an eye on the site for more articles!
You can find them on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/#!/LobaOutdoors
and Twitter: @LobaOutdoors
I hope you enjoy the site and write ups as much as I do! And maybe nominate a woman you know for Loba of the week :)

Hips Archery Target Review
August 31, 2013
So I have just recently been accepted on to the Hips Prostaff Team, but I have been shooting their targets for a while now. I received my first one, a X2 series Whitetail, back in April and have been shooting it almost everyday since then. Now that I am on the team I have purchased their X2 Mule Deer target. I still shoot my whitetail more often just because it is more abused and I like to use it for close range.
Durability
I am very impressed with these targets. So far my whitetail (even though its the smallest out of the X2 series) is still taking a pounding. I have shot it just about everyday and that includes with broadheads. The broadheads have more penetration but the target is still stopping them.
Pulling Arrows are very nice with these targets. They pull with ease and don't take parts of the target with them.
These targets are extremely light! Easy to carry making it easy to take them anywhere. My 5 year old daughter can carry them and pull her own arrows out of these! With them being so light when your arrow hits the target they are designed to move to absorb the shock which helps with the life of the targets. Just be careful because you can damage arrows!
I have found that when the target gets more and more abused that they still hold together. The first layer on the center of the whitetail is starting to peel off from the amount I have shot it but other then that it doesn't show a lot of signs of stress. Even with the top layer coming off it still stops my arrows. I love these targets!
I do recommend these targets and they have a few different types that go up in size. From smallest to largest: Whitetail, Mule deer, Elk, Grizzly and the Big game. The grizzly and big game targets are suggested for the speed bows, although Kyle shoots the mule deer target and it does stop his arrows.
I shoot a Bowtech Heartbreaker with arrows that weigh about 303gr, pulling 50#, 24 in draw and flying at an average of 240fps.
Kyle shoots a Bowtech Destroyer 340 at 70#, 32 in draw, arrows weighing about 460gr and flying at an average of 300fps
Hope this review helps with your target making decisions! You wont be disappointed with a Hips! Check out the targets at www.hipstargets.com and they are on facebook and twitter!
