Hello all.......<br />

We hope this edition <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arrow Hound finds everyone well and enjoying<br />

<strong>the</strong> holiday season. Best <strong>of</strong> luck with all those hunting during deer season<br />

and those that are trapping for furs. Saw bobcat for <strong>the</strong> first time this year<br />

that a neighbor boy caught and it was a beautiful animal. For <strong>the</strong><br />

fisherman out <strong>the</strong>re, wishing for <strong>the</strong> cold wea<strong>the</strong>r so <strong>the</strong> ice can form for huts to pop up on <strong>the</strong> ponds<br />

and lakes around <strong>the</strong> state. Best <strong>of</strong> luck to all. Keep shooting!<br />

Page<br />

Are you ready for <strong>the</strong> 2012 shooting year? I think I am now that Christmas & Thanksgiving<br />

are behind us. It was a busy fall for bowhunters with Ken Yeater’s turkey hunt with two<br />

young grandsons, Jan Kostka shooting an 11 point buck with her new camo Ma<strong>the</strong>ws Passion<br />

bow, Boyd Mathis’ elk hunt through Korell Outfitters, and Ken & Ken Sharp’s bucks that<br />

were shot <strong>the</strong> same day/same time at different locations.<br />

This Arrow Hound has highlights <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> annual Presley’s Outdoors tournament in Illinois<br />

where over 20 <strong>Iowa</strong> archers participate in <strong>the</strong> two day shoot. It works well for a chance to practice for <strong>the</strong> ISAA<br />

Pro Am. There is also ano<strong>the</strong>r helpful article from Jim Hunt, this time it is on shooting a 300 round.<br />

Last but not least, <strong>the</strong>re are two very good archery tournaments to register for (besides <strong>the</strong> ISAA Pro Am & state<br />

tournaments). They are <strong>the</strong> <strong>Iowa</strong> Deer Classic 300 Vegas Shoot in Des Moines (see page 2), and <strong>the</strong> Mohawk<br />

Archers 3-D Shootout that is in Mason City (see page 29).<br />

The 2012 ISAA Pro Am is in Des Moines this year at Hy Vee Hall and sponsored by Scheels. We are expecting<br />

@ 500 shooters at this new location and <strong>the</strong> nearby motels are filling up. This has been a learning experience for<br />

<strong>the</strong> ISAA in realizing how much responsibility lies on Kevin Kramer and that he is <strong>the</strong> Chief who does not have<br />

enough Indians. With a shoot this large though, growing pains are expected to happenn and we learn & improve<br />

from it.<br />

ELK HUNTING<br />

Boyd Mathis at Korrel Outfitters in Utah<br />

By Boyd Mathis<br />

Holding at full draw while a nice big 6x6 bull elk is bugling at 25 yards will raise <strong>the</strong> hair on<br />

<strong>the</strong> back <strong>of</strong> your neck and if your adrenaline isn’t pumping at full capacity, you’re probably not<br />

alive! But we’ll get to that later.<br />

Going on a good elk hunt has been number one on my list <strong>of</strong> dream hunts for so long it just<br />

seems like forever. <strong>An</strong>d when I think about elk hunting, a pack-in hunt deep into a wilderness area<br />

would be <strong>the</strong> perfect scenario. This year I finally decided to bite <strong>the</strong> bullet and my good friend,<br />

Randy DeVries <strong>of</strong> Sully, <strong>Iowa</strong> and I decided that we were going to go somewhere to chase elk.<br />

Randy met and talked with Chris and Cody Korell <strong>of</strong> Korell Outfitters from Idaho at this winters <strong>Iowa</strong> Deer Classic. He called me all excited<br />

and said he had found our hunt. We decided to go ahead and book our hunt through <strong>the</strong>m and <strong>the</strong>n had to wait six months until time to leave.<br />

Lots <strong>of</strong> target shooting, packing, weighing packs, shooting bow, practicing, getting more gear, working out, more practice and <strong>the</strong>n more<br />

working out followed by more shooting and it was finally time to go. We both brought two bows that I had tuned to perfection and were<br />

hitting small dots with broadheads - even at 60 yards - it was “game on!” I own and operate Buck Hollow Sports, an archery ProShop near<br />

Pella, <strong>Iowa</strong>. Both Randy and I shoot on Bowtech’s Factory Pro Staff. We were ready!<br />

The worst part about hunting in Idaho is that for some reason, <strong>the</strong>y decided to place it on <strong>the</strong> map seemingly on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r side <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

world. After about a 23 hour drive finishing up through <strong>the</strong> unbelievably steep Sawtooth range, we pulled in Korell’s lodge and I was<br />

introduced to several soon-to-be friends. Chris & Cody Korell (bro<strong>the</strong>rs) and Kid Youren are some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> nicest people you will ever meet.<br />

We found out Cody and Kid would be packing us in and guiding us while Chris took ano<strong>the</strong>r guy to<br />

a different camp on <strong>the</strong> next mountain. We stayed <strong>the</strong> night in <strong>the</strong>ir beautiful lodge that <strong>the</strong>y built<br />

<strong>the</strong>mselves from solid Lodge Pole Pine logs – incredible! The next morning had us packing<br />

everything evenly in manties (a canvas square used to make a man-tied pack). We went down <strong>the</strong><br />

road a ways and <strong>the</strong>n 14 miles up a two-track gravel road to <strong>the</strong> trail head. From <strong>the</strong>re we loaded <strong>the</strong><br />

Decker pack saddles on <strong>the</strong> mules, swung onto our own horses and waved goodbye to civilization for<br />

<strong>the</strong> week. No electricity, no cell phone service, no roads or motor vehicles – just us and what lives<br />

on <strong>the</strong> mountain. About three hours later my backside was really excited to see <strong>the</strong> camp and climb<br />

out <strong>of</strong> that saddle. Many hours on <strong>the</strong> treadmill and on <strong>the</strong> elliptical had taken away much <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

padding on my behind that sure would have come in useful for all that time in <strong>the</strong> saddle.<br />

We pulled into a beautiful camp with two wall tents, woodstoves, a stack <strong>of</strong> firewood, cots, picnic<br />

table, lawn chairs, a scenic outdoor restroom and more – maybe we wouldn’t be roughing it as bad as I<br />

thought? It was nice to set camp, unpack, shoot <strong>the</strong> bows and relax a little. We shared numerous<br />

hunting stories and ate like kings (I lost absolutely no weight on this trip – <strong>the</strong>y fed us that well!)<br />

Turning in early seemed fitting to try and get some sleep before <strong>the</strong> hunt began in <strong>the</strong> morning.<br />

Cowboy c<strong>of</strong>fee on <strong>the</strong> woodstove and a plate full <strong>of</strong> bacon and pancakes started out a perfect day.<br />

We rode out at dawn to <strong>the</strong> most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen. We were on top <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world, riding<br />

on mountain tops and high ridges, bugling and cow-calling from horseback in good draws and drainages.<br />

It is so incredibly peaceful up <strong>the</strong>re – dead silent with no noticeable wind and no background noise at all.<br />

A few hours later we found a nice spot to tie up <strong>the</strong> horses and started down a narrow ridge on foot. Hearing a bull elk answer our calls gave<br />

me <strong>the</strong> goose bumps and I knew we were in for a good day. We worked down <strong>the</strong> mountain, getting closer and hearing <strong>the</strong> bull answer our<br />

calls every time. At 11 o’clock we sat down, ate some lunch and waited and listened. Apparently, <strong>the</strong> elk bed down typically from 11 to 3<br />

and don’t move much. The wea<strong>the</strong>r was gorgeous, probably in <strong>the</strong> 60’s so laying back in <strong>the</strong> sun for a little “elk nap” would feel good. I<br />

hadn’t gotten a lot <strong>of</strong> sleep <strong>the</strong> night before, too much nervous excitement and anticipation. Just as I was dozing <strong>of</strong>f we heard a bugle down<br />

below us. Somebody said “sounds like ano<strong>the</strong>r hunter?” but Cody assured us that if someone was down<br />

<strong>the</strong>re, <strong>the</strong>y were extremely ambitious. I truly believe outside <strong>the</strong> four <strong>of</strong> us, <strong>the</strong>re wasn’t ano<strong>the</strong>r human<br />

being inside 5 or 10 miles. We bugled back a little and got an immediate answer – Closer!<br />

We quickly set-up shooting positions only to see him pass by about 75 yards downhill and headed<br />

right for <strong>the</strong> bull we had been talking to all morning! More bugles down below as we scurried down <strong>the</strong><br />

mountain to close <strong>the</strong> distance. We found <strong>the</strong> beautiful grassy flat spot <strong>the</strong> elk herd had been in all morning.<br />

Fresh sign was everywhere and <strong>the</strong> smell <strong>of</strong> elk was in <strong>the</strong> air. It seems <strong>the</strong> new bull had caused our herd<br />

bull to take his cows and move on. <strong>An</strong>o<strong>the</strong>r bugle! Again, we ran down a little


drainage and set-up – quickly ranging landmarks with <strong>the</strong> rangefinder and trying to pick a place to shoot. Here he came, prancing along like<br />

a trained draft horse – head held high – passing right by Randy at 33 yards. He kept coming and got around us, winded us and took <strong>of</strong>f to<br />

parts unknown. Randy had passed <strong>the</strong> little raghorn bull because he was only a small 3x4 and it was barely noon on <strong>the</strong> first day.<br />

We tracked <strong>the</strong> herd bull and his cows on down <strong>the</strong> mountain and got him to answer our calls again, although he sounded very far away.<br />

Finding a nice log to sit on and finish our lunch, Randy and I stayed put while Cody and Kid were on a ridge a hundred yards away or so<br />

bugling at our herd bull. He seemed to answer every single call, must have been pretty mad at all <strong>the</strong> commotion upsetting his day.<br />

Suddenly, ano<strong>the</strong>r bugle rang out not far below us – ano<strong>the</strong>r bull was down <strong>the</strong>re! He bugled again – closing <strong>the</strong> distance. I quickly picked<br />

out a nice thick brushy spot to stand in front <strong>of</strong> where it was some-what level and starting picking my shots and ranging <strong>the</strong>m. Two beautiful<br />

trees in open shooting lanes at 40 yards, one straight down <strong>the</strong> hill and one to my right with Randy setting up <strong>of</strong>f to my left gave me some<br />

shooting options. By now Cody and Kid had heard <strong>the</strong> incoming bull and were set-up behind us up <strong>the</strong> hill – ready to call and catch all <strong>the</strong><br />

action.<br />

I first saw him straight down <strong>the</strong> hill below me about 75 yards, prancing up <strong>the</strong> hill at a high rate <strong>of</strong> speed, head held high. I saw an<br />

amazing 6 point side and quickly drew my bow as he stepped behind cover, this was happening all too fast! Someone blew a cow call up <strong>the</strong><br />

hill and instead <strong>of</strong> staying on <strong>the</strong> path he was on which would have placed him in <strong>the</strong> open right in front <strong>of</strong> my 40 yard tree to <strong>the</strong> right, he<br />

stopped right behind a thicket at 25 yards and bugled! With my hair standing on end, adrenaline flow at max and my heart beating so hard I<br />

could feel it in my toes, he turned and came right towards me. Fully in <strong>the</strong> clear now, closing <strong>the</strong> distance and coming straight at me – I held<br />

full draw until he paused at 18 yards. Had he seen me, smelled me, saw someone else or was he just going to run me over? All this ran<br />

through my head as I slowly squeezed my release and watch my arrow completely disappear in his chest – exactly where I wanted it to go.<br />

He stayed on <strong>the</strong> same path and ran past me at only six feet as I raised my bow in <strong>the</strong> air in a victory celebration. I could see his back side<br />

was trying to pass his front only 30 yards down <strong>the</strong> hill before he went over <strong>the</strong> ridge out <strong>of</strong> sight. I had done it! I shot an elk with my bow<br />

on public land in <strong>the</strong> middle <strong>of</strong> nowhere! Kid was first on scene and asked if I had shot, amazed he hadn’t heard my bow. The look on my<br />

face and <strong>the</strong> bow held high over my head gave him <strong>the</strong> answer he was seeking. (<strong>An</strong>d maybe <strong>the</strong> victory dance I was doing was a give-away as<br />

well?)<br />

Blood on <strong>the</strong> trail in front <strong>of</strong> us was a welcome sign but we semi-patiently waited for a<br />

half hour before pursuing <strong>the</strong> blood trail and looking for my trophy. We hadn’t gone 20 yards<br />

when Cody spotted him down <strong>the</strong> hill; he had only gone about 60 yards! High fives all around<br />

and lots <strong>of</strong> pictures later, we began <strong>the</strong> work on gutting, quartering and capping him out. It was<br />

so steep <strong>the</strong>re that we had to tie his horns and feet to tree above us to keep him from rolling<br />

down <strong>the</strong> hill fur<strong>the</strong>r. I had managed to hit lung, heart and penetrate through <strong>the</strong> diaphragm – a<br />

good killing shot.<br />

Needless to say, I had an awesome hunt. Kid took a pack string in after him and Cody<br />

packed him into town to <strong>the</strong> processor a day later while we continued to hunt. Randy shot a<br />

gorgeous 5x5 bull only a day after that and I managed to get his shot on video. Two flat landers<br />

from <strong>Iowa</strong> went to <strong>the</strong> Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho and shot two great mature elk with only one shot each. (<strong>An</strong>d both recovered in 60 yards<br />

or less) I would definitely hunt with Korell again, great people that will work <strong>the</strong>ir tails <strong>of</strong>f to get you an elk and <strong>the</strong>y run an incredible camp.<br />

They also hound hunt cougars and color-phase black bears in <strong>the</strong> winter – anyone want to go to Idaho?<br />

Help with <strong>the</strong> Harvest<br />

By Ken Yeater<br />

My grandsons from Minnesota are Ethan, 6 and Elias, 4. Both are interested in<br />

animals and follow my deer and turkey hunting adventures closely through <strong>the</strong><br />

trail camera photos and deer log entries I send to <strong>the</strong>m. They <strong>of</strong>ten send<br />

me pictures <strong>the</strong>y draw with <strong>the</strong> intention <strong>of</strong> bringing me good luck. They were<br />

visiting us for a few days when I harvested my second doe <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 2011 season on<br />

20 October. Knowing this would be a rare opportunity to show <strong>the</strong>m a recovery,<br />

I called home to see if <strong>the</strong>y wanted to come out and help me find her. The<br />

photos my daughter took tell <strong>the</strong> story from start to finish, but a few more can't<br />

hurt.<br />

On <strong>the</strong> way to <strong>the</strong> blind I showed <strong>the</strong>m deer tracks, a few scrapes, and some<br />

turkey spoor. They have helped me plow and plant my food plots in previous<br />

years. Today <strong>the</strong>y got to see how <strong>the</strong> seeds have grown into lush green dinner<br />

plates for <strong>the</strong> deer and turkey. As an example, Photo 1 (left) shows my chicory<br />

food plot where <strong>the</strong> doe was feeding when my spitfire delivery was made.<br />

Ethan is pointing out <strong>the</strong> first sign <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> extensive blood trail. It didn't take<br />

much help from me for <strong>the</strong>m to follow her trail 90 yards to <strong>the</strong> end.<br />

Next <strong>the</strong>y helped me load her on <strong>the</strong> cart. Photo 2 (bottom left) shows <strong>the</strong>m providing a little extra horse power. Gosh<br />

that was easy! <strong>An</strong>d <strong>of</strong> course <strong>the</strong>y had to be in <strong>the</strong> success Photo number 3 (bottom right).<br />

Sharp Bucks & Ping Pong Balls<br />

Both <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se bucks were shot with bow and arrow on <strong>the</strong> same day and about 20-30 minutes apart. Both Ken (Sharp) &<br />

Ken (Sharp) had gone hunting <strong>the</strong> same day in pretty much opposite directions and approximately 30 miles apart<br />

unbeknownst to each o<strong>the</strong>r. Just moments after older Ken shot his 12 point buck from a tree stand, he received a buzz on<br />

his cell phone coming from his oldest son, Kenny, to tell him he had just shot a 10 point buck.<br />

24<br />

Left: This future big buck slayer has been<br />

practicing with his Genises bow shooting at<br />

balloons and ping pong balls. The balloons<br />

are kind <strong>of</strong> easy to aim at and hit but still a lot<br />

<strong>of</strong> fun to shoot, especially when <strong>the</strong>re is candy<br />

inside <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> balloons. Carter decided he<br />

wanted to try shooting at ping pong balls<br />

floating in <strong>the</strong> air (in <strong>the</strong> picture to <strong>the</strong> left, you<br />

can see two ping pong balls floating in <strong>the</strong> air<br />

right in front <strong>of</strong> Carter). The ping pong ball<br />

that he hit is still stuck on <strong>the</strong> tip <strong>of</strong> his arrow.<br />

It most certainly was a surprise to him and<br />

kind <strong>of</strong> a happenstance deal, I think. He<br />

would have shot all night to try to hit ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />

one though.


Why Not a 300!!<br />

By Jim Hunt<br />

Driving home from our league shoot-<strong>of</strong>f one night, I got to thinking. The boys were a<br />

buzz as Reggie had shot a 300, a thing he does from time to time, but not a consistent<br />

occurrence. Well, as I thought about this I wondered out loud, “What’s <strong>the</strong> big deal<br />

about a 300, and what makes it such a bench mark?” Let’s look at some items that<br />

will possibly make this a more obtainable goal for some <strong>of</strong> you.<br />

Your Bow<br />

If it does not shoot a bullet hole through paper, or group a fletched shaft with an unfletched shaft or whatever<br />

else you use to tune your bow, make it a priority to make sure <strong>the</strong> bow shoots as well as possible so this will be<br />

removed from your thought process. Then ensure that your bow has <strong>the</strong> correct draw length. Too short will sit<br />

but jerk <strong>of</strong>f target, and if your draw length is too long, <strong>the</strong> pin will float but not ever sit consistently. Next, look<br />

at <strong>the</strong> timing <strong>of</strong> your cams to make sure <strong>the</strong>y wrap <strong>the</strong> same [look at <strong>the</strong> timing flats on <strong>the</strong> wheel so that <strong>the</strong><br />

string comes into <strong>the</strong>m at <strong>the</strong> same time] <strong>the</strong>n play with <strong>the</strong> top a turn or two tighter on <strong>the</strong> cable to see if it sits<br />

better, <strong>the</strong>n try <strong>the</strong> same on <strong>the</strong> bottom, again checking for sit only. The pin must sit or continue to play!<br />

Finally, add weight to <strong>the</strong> bow to finish up <strong>the</strong> stability <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bow. Interestingly <strong>the</strong> mass weight <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bow<br />

will be a ratio <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> holding weight if <strong>the</strong> gross weight is 48% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> holding weight. For example, if you are<br />

holding 20 pounds, your bow weight should just be under 10 pounds.<br />

Leverage<br />

We covered this at length in <strong>the</strong> last article. The whole point will be that you pull directly behind <strong>the</strong> arrow,<br />

with <strong>the</strong> correct group <strong>of</strong> muscles. If your pin doesn’t sit now, look at <strong>the</strong> pull angle and get it correct. You<br />

should consistently work on your alignment to get this correct and finish <strong>the</strong> same EVERY TIME with your<br />

hand coming back over your shoulder so your thumb is on top <strong>of</strong> your shoulder.<br />

Release<br />

Have you ever wondered why some releases cost $29.95 and o<strong>the</strong>rs are hundreds more? Well it is in how <strong>the</strong>y<br />

shoot. It doesn’t make much sense to me to shoot a bow like a gun [put <strong>the</strong> pin on <strong>the</strong> target and pull <strong>the</strong> trigger]<br />

and tolerate a trigger travel <strong>of</strong> over ¼ <strong>of</strong> an inch. This all has to do with <strong>the</strong> activating mechanism <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> release.<br />

The good one have sears which require no travel to activate, but you pay for <strong>the</strong>m. THEN get <strong>the</strong> trigger hard so<br />

you can place your finger confidently on <strong>the</strong> trigger so you know it won’t go <strong>of</strong>f. Then activate it by placing<br />

your finger around <strong>the</strong> trigger and expand until it goes <strong>of</strong>f, or go some where and have someone show you how.<br />

Scoring<br />

This is where I’ve had <strong>the</strong> most success. I see a guy failing on <strong>the</strong> last five arrows and obviously he is keeping<br />

score. No big deal, but he is placing too much emphases on <strong>the</strong>se last arrows. A better way is move away from<br />

<strong>the</strong> total score and look at <strong>the</strong> x count. Now I like to look at 15 X’s per game. If you consistently shoot 15, 300<br />

scores will follow guaranteed.<br />

You<br />

The last item is confidence. I know you can muster an X or a bull’s eye. Now you need to place this much<br />

emphases on groups <strong>of</strong> five, or twenty arrow games and <strong>the</strong> 15 X’s. After you break <strong>the</strong> 300 thresh hold a few<br />

times it becomes automatic and you can move on to <strong>the</strong> next challenge….why would you miss that great big X!<br />

Good shooting.<br />

Results, and view some short video clips <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> action. In addition you can also view <strong>the</strong> Final Results <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> previous<br />

Presley’s Midwest Open tournaments. <strong>Iowa</strong> was well represented at this tournament with 22 <strong>Iowa</strong>ns competing in <strong>the</strong><br />

event. Since this is <strong>the</strong> <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>Archery</strong> <strong>Association</strong>’s Arrowhound, I thought it would be a good idea to list those<br />

from <strong>Iowa</strong> that<br />

26


competed in <strong>the</strong> event, along with <strong>the</strong>ir scores and awards (if any) that <strong>the</strong>y received. The Listing gives <strong>the</strong> total scores<br />

in descending order for <strong>the</strong> <strong>Iowa</strong> participants.<br />

One thing that was indeed special was that <strong>the</strong> traveling wea<strong>the</strong>r to get to and from Bartonville was much better than it<br />

ever has been in <strong>the</strong> past.<br />
