Archery at South Point 

There was a whole lot of archery 

going on at the South Point Hotel 

Casino and Spa in Las Vegas, during 

4-12 February 2012. 

The week started with the World 

Archery Championships bringing 

teams of the best from countries near 

and far, shooting individual and team 

competitions Monday - Wednesday, 

and the Finals event in the arena on 

Thursday. All four USA teams (Men 

and Women, Recurve and Compound) 

won gold medals, and Team USA 

archers won seven individual medals. 

Also on Thursday, the Nevada State 

NASP Championship used one of the 

four ranges. 

Friday, Saturday and Sunday were 

competition days for the usual World 

Archery Festival “Vegas” shoot, while 

the World Cup three-stage tournament 

concluded on Saturday. 

And as an extra treat, the WAF 

Trade Show exhibits were available for 

the three days also. 

South Point was a great venue, with 

lots to see and do, and plenty of good 

food and relaxation too.

WSAA PRESIDENT: Ray Crisp 

I do not have much to report due to the last month’s storm damage in our area. This creates an increase in my work load and adds a 

lot of hazardous work with an increase in stress and urgency for our clients. Capitol City Bowmen's range looked like a disaster area 

after the storm, and after three weekends and a few members working during the week we finally have our trails cut out and accessible. 

I certainly hope the rest of you fared better than we did. 

The WSAA is still moving forward with finding ways to manage the change in NASP Coordinators and making things simpler 

with some form of central database. Linda Parker has done most of the initial design and imported some of our existing data on Active 

Schools, Prospective Schools, BAI Trained people (teachers or community) and others who want to become involved. 

We really do need someone that has some skill with SQL and using an access database online. I put a request on the forum but 

have not received an interest. This would be a huge help for us to find someone with these specific skills. 

I look forward to seeing my friends on the course and also listening to your opinions and ideas. 

TOURNAMENT VP Mike Miller 

Hi all you archers. I hope you had fun in the Multi-Color Championship and 

Mail-In. Here it is February and writing March article and thinking about April. 

I would like to hold a Tournament Committee meeting at the State Safari in 

April. 

I injured my left arm and shoulder back in August and have had difficulty 

trying to shoot. So you probably won’t see me in a tournament shooting until 

Safari. I am currently going through physical therapy. 

I’ve had a lump in my throat for awhile. I made a mistake last year for Archer 

of The Year. The rules were not clear to me. So I had the wrong person’s 

engraved on the trophy, but the error was caught before the trophy was awarded. 

The rules apparently aren’t clear to some archers. 

These are the rules for Archer of The Year as explained to me the day of the 

Convention and awards ceremony. The Tournament Rules will be clarified, if 

approved at Safari, by adding the new paragraphs 3, 4, and 5. 

Don’t FORGET … 

WSAA Blueface Indoor 

1. All WSAA members who shoot in the Indoor Multi-Color, Indoor Blueface, Safari, 3-D, Field, or Target tournament are 

automatically entered in the Archer of the Year Competition. 

2. For each of the above tournaments in which an archer participates, he / she are awarded points based on their score as a 

percentage of the record score for their division in that championship. The individual with the highest total points at the end 

of the competition year will be named Archer of the Year. 

3. In the case of an individual who competes in multiple age categories or in different styles during the course of the 

competitive year, points for each event will be computed based on the records relevant to the Divisions involved. 

4. In the case of an individual who competes in an Indoor event (Multi-Color or Blueface) in two or more styles, the score 

which earns the archer more points will be used to compute the total points. This might NOT be the higher score, depending 

on the previous records or competition status for that division. 

5. In the case of an individual who sets the initial record for a competitive category, a value of 1 will be recorded. 

6. The award for Archer of the Year is a trophy, which will be presented at the annual Convention. 

If you wish to comment on the above you can email me at mike98380@aol.com. Also can comment and or add to the subject on 

the WSAA forum in Open Forum for topic Archer of The Year. 

It’s been real busy here doing awards orders running tournaments and such so I’m sorry if I have missed something.

Wildlife Area near Ellensburg Closed February-April to Protect Elk and Private Land 

OLYMPIA—About 44,000 acres of state wildlife land east of Ellensburg will be closed to motor vehicles February 1 through 

April 30 to protect wintering elk from disturbance, and in turn reduce elk damage to adjacent private lands. 

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) will temporarily close the Whiskey Dick Wildlife Area and a portion 

of the Quilomene Wildlife Area in Kittitas County. The area to be closed is north of the Vantage Highway, south of Quilomene 

Ridge Road, east of the Wild Horse Wind Farm and west of the Columbia River. 

Reducing vehicle traffic on the wildlife area may encourage wintering elk to remain on the public land rather than straying to 

nearby private lands, according to wildlife biologists. The effectiveness of the seasonal road closure is being evaluated by monitoring 

the movements of elk equipped with tracking collars. 

About 2,000 elk—nearly half the Colockum elk herd—winter on the Whiskey Dick and Quilomene areas, according to WDFW 

South-central Regional Wildlife Manager Ted Clausing. Forty-three of the elk are fitted with global positioning system (GPS) 

devices to track their movements. Biologists use the data to assess the animals’ response to the closure. 

“Continuing to track elk this winter will help us judge the effectiveness of the closure,” said Clausing. “Based on data we’ve 

previously collected, we would recommend permanent seasonal vehicle closure. However, we’ll evaluate this year’s additional data 

to make a recommendation on permanent seasonal closure by next year.” 

This is the fifth year of seasonal closures on the Ellensburg-area wildlife lands. The three-month seasonal closure is consistent 

with winter-range closures elsewhere in the state, including the Oak Creek, Wenas and L.T. Murray wildlife areas. 

Seasonal closures also occur on critical big-game winter ranges in several other western states, including Montana, 

Idaho, Oregon and Wyoming. 

Research from across the western United States indicates vehicle traffic can disturb elk and significantly reduce 

their use of habitat near roads, according to Scott McCorquodale, a WDFW elk researcher. 

“The zone influenced by roads can be quite large in open areas such as the Colockum elk winter range,” 

said McCorquodale.

STUDENT ARCHERS COMPETE FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP 

Archers from around Washington State will converge at Ellensburg WA on 17 March 2012 to compete in the Washington NASP 

State Championship. The event will be held at the Central Washington University, Nicholson Pavilion Gym. This year’s event will 

include over 400 students representing 24 schools from across the state. 

Students will be shooting for individual awards for both boys and girls as well as for school team trophies. Competition categories 

are Elementary School, Middle School, and High School. High scoring teams and individuals receive trophies and awards, and also 

will qualify to participate in the National Championship to be held May 11-12 in Louisville Kentucky. The School Team 

Competition will combine the individual scores of each school’s top 12 scores for the team score. 

Students eligible to compete have been participating in the National Archery in the Schools Program “Archery - On Target for 

Life”. Archers use standardized bows and arrows to shoot at bulls-eye targets at distances of 10 meters and 15 meters. Each archer 

shoots 15 arrows at each distance, with value of 10 points for a center hit descending to 1 point for a rim shot. Maximum score is 300 

points for the round. 

The all-day event begins with athlete check-in at 8:00 AM, with groups starting each hour throughout the day. Awards 

presentation is scheduled for 6:30 PM. Spectators are welcome.

NFAA Annual Meeting 4-7 February 2012 

TC Parker represented Washington State Archery Association at the National Field Archery Association annual 

meeting in Las Vegas on 4-7 February. The event began on Saturday evening with a meet and greet social and snacks. 

The kickoff on Sunday morning included introduction of the Directors and seating of alternates for several states, of 

which Washington was one. A few states were NOT represented, including Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, 

Arkansas, and Louisiana. Each state gets one vote except those over 500 in membership – Florida has two votes and 

California has four. 

The President’s Report included some background on the three inter-twined organizations – the NFAA (HQ), NFAA 

Foundation, and the World Archery Festival (WAF). 

The NFAA was founded in 1939, as a spinoff from the National Archery Association for archers who wanted a less 

formal competition format. NFAA is organized as a 501(c)(4) Membership Non-Profit. The “Members” of NFAA are the 

state associations. The Mission of the NFAA is “To foster, promote and perpetuate the practice of field archery and any 

other archery games … to adopt and enforce uniform rules, regulations, procedures, conditions, and methods of playing 

such games. To encourage the use of the bow in the hunting of all legal game birds and animals, and to protect, 

improve, and increase the sport of hunting with a bow and arrow. To conduct a continuous educational program 

designed to acquaint the public and the archer with the use of the bow as a recreation and as a weapon suitable for the 

hunting of legal game.” 

NFAA has a history of promoting “roving” archery, initially with unmarked distances, later at marked distance. FIELD 

archery was its number one purpose. The first National indoor was conducted in the 1980’s, 3D archery has never 

become big in NFAA, the 3D National and Sectional events have been poorly attended. 

Bowhunting is represented in NFAA with the Art Young Big Game and Small Game Awards Programs. 

NFAA maintains awards programs for tournament achievement, service to the organization, and hunting achievement. 

The NFAA Foundation was formed in 1990 as a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit public supported charitable organization. It is 

managed by a Board of Trustees and includes programs to provide Scholarships, support a Museum, promote 

International Competition, and support Archery Education. Main contributors to the NFAA Foundation have been the 

Easton Foundation, the State of South Dakota, the City of Yankton, and the SD Office of Economic Development. The 

Foundation OWNS the building and ranges at Yankton; NFAA rents space for the office. The Foundation has a 21% 

stake in the KOA at Yankton, contiguous to the NFAA HQ and ranges, as an investment. The current building of about 

20,000 sqft is being expanded to be about 48,000 sqft. With the addition, archers can shoot up to 70 meters INDOORS. 

By arranging the lanes sideways, the range can accommodate 18 meter / 20 yard indoor archery. But this is NOT a good 

location for National indoor, because of lack of food and lodging facilities in Yankton. The archery equipment rental 

program formerly run by NADA will be coming to Yankton. The Easton Center for Archery Excellence supports NASP, 

ASAP, OASP and Parks and Recreation programs in the area. Another Easton Center is coming to Salt Lake City, UT, 

and one more to California, to add to the existing facilities in Yankton and in Newberry Florida. 

The World Archery Festival (WAF) was purchased by NFAA in 1999 as a wholly-owned for-profit subsidiary. The 

WAF mission includes the Three-Star Tour, promotion of tournament archery in general, and presentation of Trade 

Shows. 

The remainder of Sunday was devoted to committee work to review the submitted “Agenda Items”. 

On re-convening Monday, the three committees (Admin, Competition/Equipment, and Council) presented their 

recommendations on the Agenda Items, and those that were brought to the floor were voted on by the Directors. 

This year saw relatively few Agenda Items submitted, and even fewer approved, so the archers will see less change in 

the organization and in tournament operations than in some previous years. On the other hand, a couple of the decisions 

were of wide-reaching scope. 

A couple items approved in the Administration realm clarified the nomination and election of the NFAA Officers and 

Councilmen. One very significant (and contentious) item addressed the status of guests – non-NFAA members – at 

State and Sectional Championships. The solution to the controversy involves distinguishing between a Competitor and a 

Participant in a tournament. Here is the text of the approved change: 

NFAA By-Laws, Article I, Section B (Definitions) Paragraph 8 revised to read, “Guest Competitor and Guest 

Participant – Guest Competitor refers to a NFAA member shooting at an event outside of their respective State or 

Section. Guest Participant refers to non-NFAA member archers who may participate in Sectional tournaments and State 

NFAA tournaments (including the mandated NFAA Indoor and Outdoor State Championships) but who may not win 

awards or claim titles such as “champion”. Non-NFAA member participants shall participate while observing all NFAA 

tournament requirements, rules and regulations. There will be no divisions, styles, or classes within the Guest Participant 

category. Guest Participants will not be listed on the scoreboard, and the tournament report will report just the number of 

guest participants, with no reference to names or scores. Sections and States have the option to honor the guest 

participant section of this item. 

The biggest change to come out of the Competition / Equipment committee was approval of a new Longbow style with 

the following provisions:

4H club, is FREE to the public. 

For any information contact Jameson Hawn, (425) 478-0587, 

riverbendcabinets@gmail.com. 

NFAA By-Laws, Article II, New Section L 

“Longbow 

1. A one-piece straight-ended bow of any material, which when strung displays one continued unidirectional curve 

which is measured as follows: When the strung bow is placed with the bowstring in a vertical position, the angle as 

measured between the tangent of any point on the limb and an imaginary horizontal line must always decrease as 

this point is moved further away from the bow grip. Tip reinforcing not exceeding 1/2” in height, as measured from 

the surface of the bow limb and not exceeding 1 ½” in length as measured from the limb tip. 

2. The belly must be free of any marks or blemishes that can be used as sighting aids. 

3. The bow may contain a window and an arrow shelf. 

4. Only one nocking point is allowed on the string, which may be marked by one or two nocking point locators. 

5. Only wooden arrows may be used. 

6. Nocks may be any material, and any weight of pile. 

7. One consistent anchor point must be used. 

This style will be recognized in ADULT and SENIOR divisions only.” 

The other fairly significant change affects the PRO division, and some who may aspire to Professional status. 

NFAA By-Laws, Article III Section D, Paragraph 7.1.2 will be changed to read, “The NFAA Pro Division recognizes 

only the Freestyle, Freestyle Limited, and Freestyle Limited Recurve styles of shooting. Professional Freestyle Limited 

(Compound) will phase out effective 31 December 2012.” 

The Pros also re-defined the Professional Dress Code to revise: Constitution, Article III, Section D Paragraph 3. 

3.2 Jeans or Denim of any color are not allowed during competition. Professional archers shall wear khaki, tan, 

black, white or navy slacks, shorts or skirts. Shorts or skirts can be no shorter than two inches above the knee. The waist 

of the attire must not fall below the waistline. Shirts / tops shall be of a collared design. Archers may also wear uniforms 

provided by sponsors. Shirts must have a standard collar, Henley collar, or mock collar. T-shirts, swimming suits, cut-offs 

and obscene or vulgar slogans or pictures on clothing are prohibited. 

Several proposals which would have changed the scoring of targets, giving an additional point for hits in the X-ring, 

did not make it to the floor. 

Arrow speed rule in By-Laws, Article VI, Section K, Paragraph 8.5 amended to clarify consequence of excess speed. 

Grouping of archers by scores previously shot in a 3-5 day National Outdoor was clarified, so those who had only 

shot one or two scores wouldn’t automatically be in the lowest scoring group. 

Crossbow shooters will be allowed a lighted fiber optic sight pin on a trial basis. 

NFAA Members renewing their membership will be offered the option to receive an email notification that the new copy 

of Archery Magazine is available on the NFAA Web site in lieu of receiving a printed copy. 

We received a presentation about the NFAA Insurance program, including a potential alternate insurance contractor. 

The Atlantic Group is a national company with local offices in many states and admitted in all 50 states. They have a 

program to cover campgrounds and hunting lodges and understand archery exposure and risks. They stated they will 

have “competitive pricing” have a $3 million per entity cap, and include “no fault” provisions for smaller claims to 

minimize litigation. They also offer other coverage including property and vehicles. 

Final action of the meeting was approval of the 2012-2013 NFAA budget. 

Tuesday night we gathered for a dinner, with short remarks by the NFAA President, and presentation of the 

Presidents’ Award. Several NFAA Scholarships were also announced. 

Ongoing during the meeting days, the World Archery Indoor Championship brought MANY archers from several 

countries to the site. We were able to watch some of the practice and competition sessions.


Lyme Disease is here in Washington 

by Dan Boeholt 

When in the outdoors, it’s not just the big bears, cougars and soon-to-be wolves that we need to be concerned about -- it’s the little 

ticks carrying Lyme Disease that can be just as threatening. Yes, Lyme Disease is here in our backyards, not only in the wilds, and it 

is not just an East Coast problem as many of us have been led to believe including doctors and the Washington State Health 

Department. 

I was bitten by a tick 20 years ago in the Lake Quinault area after harvesting an elk during the late archery season. In the prior 

twenty years of hunting I had seen five or six ticks at the most on a deer or elk; this one had over 100 ticks on it – just crawling on its 

neck especially. I killed as many as I could find with a pair of pliers before I started dressing it out, but half way through the process 

a searing pain in my right forearm caused me to swipe quickly at the site. As I swiped this small black spot away, I wondered “what 

was that”? The thought of a tick crossed my mind. Two days later as the bite location swelled up to the size of a silver dollar I called 

the Aberdeen Health Department office and was told “we don’t have Lyme here and even if it was a tick with Lyme it has to be in 

you for 24 hours before it transmits the disease”. I’ve since learned neither of these is true. The state health department now 

recognizes Lyme Disease is here. They’ve been contracting with Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife to collect ticks from the 

field and some have tested positive. 

It’s not just ticks to be concerned about – Lyme is also believed to be found in lice, fleas, biting flies and spiders. If that’s not bad 

enough you almost always get a co-infection at the same time. The most common ones are Bartonella (also known as Cat Scratch 

Fever), Babesia, Ehrlichia and the one that I just recently discovered I had in additional to my Lyme is Mycoplasma. It’s the smallest 

bacteria known to man and also the cause of Pneumonia. 

My first symptoms started four months after my bite with numbness in my fingers, loss of balance, lack of energy, fevers and brain 

fog. My doctor feared MS – the test was negative. Lyme Disease is called “The Great Imitator”. It mimics over 300 disorders 

including Parkinson, Rheumatoid Arthritis and other misdiagnosed Autoimmune Disorders. 

As my symptoms continued to get worse over 19 years of seeing doctors from Aberdeen to Seattle and back again, I was barely 

able to walk before I was correctly diagnosed. I had a barrage of tests, tortures and misdiagnoses including psychiatric exams 

because doctors all thought it was in my head – they were both wrong and right. Lyme is throughout your body. It starts in the blood 

stream and then over time the Spirochetes (spiral-shaped worms) start burrowing into your muscles, bones and end up in your brain. 

Most people don’t even know they’ve been bit because the tick can be so small – some the size of a pencil point. The bulls-eye 

rash that is a key indicator shows up in less than 50% of those bitten; I did not have one. So if most people don’t know they’ve been 

bit and the doctors aren’t looking for it, you can go misdiagnosed for years. 

It’s extremely difficult to get an accurate test result unless your blood test is sent to the best recognized lab for Lyme, Igenex, in 

California. I had the standard Western Blot test done by two different local labs - and a spinal tap - that all came back negative before 

my Igenex test came back double positive. 

When I heard my diagnosis was Lyme I exclaimed “Alright, finally I know what it is!” Then as I learned how difficult it is to treat 

Early detection is the key for a cure. Antibiotics can be effective if used in the first few months. The longer you have it the more 

difficult it is to treat. Many doctors treat their patients with various combinations of antibiotics -- oral and IV. The Lyme specialist I 

saw in Seattle told me it would take at least three years of multiple antibiotics, hoping not to put me in the hospital more than twice 

and if not curing me, giving me quality of life. Emergency hospital visits can happen when the Lyme Disease die-off toxins are 

released too quickly causing what they call a Herx reaction. 

After continued research I chose not to use antibiotics, because of the years of cost, side effects, the risk of damaging your immune 

system, the trial and error of the drug protocols and most of all - the limited success. The Spirochetes worms go into a defensive 

mode when treated with antibiotics, forming cysts, a different mix of more powerful drugs are then needed. For each one worm that 

forms a cyst, five new ones come out to attack you harder. Instead I read about a Rife Machine that is used to treat many diseases 

with Electromagnetic Frequency Waves which is also very successful in treating Lyme Disease. This machine is used world-wide by 

doctors, except in the United States where it has not yet been approved for treatment. However, individuals can purchase these 

devices for self treatment. With continued research I learned of new treatments that use Ozone, Hydrogen Peroxide and Colloidal 

Silver. I chose this last option and had treatment in a clinic in Arizona last spring. On returning home, I purchased a Rife Machine 

and continue with my treatment. The discovery of the Mycoplasma co-infection bug last fall, using the Rife Machine, made for a 

huge improvement in my health for a while, but it’s still a roller coaster ride as I continue to manage for the Lyme and search for 

other co-infections as well. 

What you don’t know -- or see -- can hurt you!

Elk Story 2011 by Ray Crisp 

Every year seems to provide its own unique qualities. This year I drew a mule deer tag with one of my hunting partners 

which will be a lot of open country hunting demanding precise accuracy. Choosing something other than my Alpine 

Silverado is not easy but this year I decided to hunt with my Alpine Ventura bow, having shot quite well this year in both 

target and 3D tournaments using Carbon Express arrows. I set up the Ventura at 60# with a whisker biscuit rest and a 

Sightmaster Pro sight. I chose Carbon Express Maxima Hunter 250’s tipped with a Carbon Express 100 grain F15 

broadhead. With very little tweaking this combination soon becomes the best shooting hunting bow I have ever held in 

my hands. 

In the last couple of years I decided to find a better blend of covering ground versus sitting in one place. Since I am 

getting older and find what was a two-hour hunt is now at least half of a day, it makes perfect sense to make the best of 

the situation. This season starts out with three bulls bugling in the morning and about an hour later, I have a 5x0 

standing about 30 yards broadside using a combination of cow calls and bugling. The next morning I go into this same 

area from a different angle which ends up drawing in a two-point in velvet. I’m thinking that can not be the bull bugling. 

Then he leans his head back and out comes this hoarse beginning going into a fairly short whistle. Well I guess that 

confirms the bull I had spent all morning with turns out to be a very young bull. 

Two days later I go through an area where we know a bull lives and sure enough there is a wallow but all the signs 

appear to be a week old. This leads to a bunch of running around during the season looking for a mature bull. There are 

a couple of brief elk encounters with the guys in camp but so far no shot opportunities. Meanwhile, the wife is listening to 

the bull below camp off and on for a week and this always makes her wonder why we leave camp to go miles away and 

reminds us occasionally. A couple of the guys in camp hunt the area and have a bull come right in on one of them with 

another potential bull bugling down in the bottom. Again close but no shot! 

The second to the last day of the season I go out on the point from camp and bugle before taking off for the day. Well I 

will be damned if there isn’t a bull bugling back but I have plans for the day and burn another day of elk season with no 

opportunities. 

The last day of early elk season I am unsure where to go and end up going where I was on the opening day. I set up, 

call and stay put for at least an hour (one of my attempts to hunt smarter) but no response. I head back towards camp 

thinking last day, 10:00 in the morning with that bull bugling below camp yesterday morning hoping the one hunting 

buddy that went that way first thing in the morning is having some luck. I am driving slowly up the hill towards camp 

pondering if I should just go start getting camp ready to tear down, when I see the hunting buddy coming down the road 

and stop to chat for a few minutes. He says, “Well I did not hear or see anything there this morning,” which is no real 

surprise since they do move around in this steep country. We part and as I am driving up the road I keep thinking, did he 

get to this one steep canyon next to camp? 

I am drawn to checking that area out and drive past the camp road thinking I will just slip in one of the few trails to this 

area and see which way the wind is blowing. It is now about 10:30 in the morning. The wind seems to be consistently 

coming from the west and upward which is perfect for me to just hunt my way back towards camp. I take my time 

working through a few benches, not seeing any fresh signs, so I roll up on an elk trail over the next ridge where I can 

drop into the steep drainage next to camp. I slide into the headwaters hoping the wind direction holds and to my pleasant 

surprise it is in my face as I move deeper into the headwaters finding a slight depression on the steep slope. 

Taking my pack off and pulling out some snacks, I realize I hadn’t made a sandwich this morning. Dang, well snacks 

will have to do. I cow call once and wait, eating some of the snacks but not hearing anything. I bugle down in the canyon 

and almost immediately a bull responds way down in the bottom approximately 500 to 600 yards away and about 600’ 

below me. My first thoughts is, oh hell no, I am not going into the bottom of that after what I am sure is not a P&Y bull. 

After a few minutes and the bull now trying to get another bugle out of me, I think hey the wind is in my face let’s try just 

being a herd. It works in those hunting videos! I start cow calling with three different cow calls and a few deep chuckles. 

The bull seems to respond regularly and he is getting closer. Okay so this confirms it must be a small bull now and I am 

not going down there, so I keep cow calling every ten minutes or so. Mind you, I have no great expectations of drawing 

this bull in and am totally unprepared, with snack bags laying on the ground around me and no arrow on the bow. After 

ten minutes of silence I see antlers move through the timber at about 120 yards and my heart starts pounding. I start 

putting the snacks and stuff in my pack and get an arrow on the bow, kneeling in this slight depression. 

To be continued …. NEXT MONTH!

Maximizing Glassing Time for Hunting Success: By Jameson Hawn 

Three and a half hours had passed since I spotted the buck grazing steadily with several does. The crystal clear early September 

morning began to show signs of the 100-degree day to come, as rising waves of warm air distorted my optics and the heavy framed 

4x4 almost one mile from my perch. 

I watched as his blurred form bedded down next to a large clump of cattle grass, leaving only the right side of his massive rack 

sticking out to indicate his location. Forty-five minutes of constant surveillance later I concluded that the buck planned to stay put for 

the duration of the day; the stalk was on. 

There is a saying in the hunting community that goes, “Let your glass do the walking.” For years I swore off the statement, 

diving headlong into far off basins or wading into the bedding areas of my quarry, only to be busted time and time again. However, 

with age, practice and—at long last—experience, I learned that your optics, next to your bow, is one of the most essential pieces of 

equipment you can carry in the field. 

Incorporating big glass—a spotting scope in the 15-40 power range—with a solid pair of 10x42 binoculars allows for both quick 

access and detail oriented viewing, as your day of hunting pans out before you. The key is to make your optics work for you, using 

them to their full potential as outlined below. 

One of the best starting points for glassing is to have a solid vantage point. Positioning yourself so you can see the largest expanse of 

productive land is vital, though a high vantage point is not always necessary. 

Begin the morning with a good pair of light-gathering 10x42 binoculars, picking apart likely areas and locating game. Do not get 

too caught up in particulars of the animal with the smaller glass; locating them is the key. Next, use a spotting scope—I use a 15-60 

power Leupold with a 80mm objective for more light, but a good 15-40 power, 60mm is ideal is most situations—to help decide if 

the animal is what you are looking for, watching their travel pattern and noting entry and exit of brush they go through. It is very 

important to keep your eyes on the animal! A 300-pound black bear can make a habit of disappearing in a knee high patch of berries, 

leading to a frustrating time relocating it later on. 

The next part is constantly overlooked. Once an animal is located, it is easy for the hunter to run down the hill in excitement, 

without carefully looking over their route to the animal. Drawing maps on receipts from your wallet, even scrawling symbols in the 

dirt outlining your route, helps you realize that some obstacles may change as you close the distance. 

This was the case 

with the heavy framed 

4x4, as I approached the 

cattle grass patch only to 

realize it was much 

larger than I had realized, 

causing me to lose his 

precise location. This 

was all the edge the buck 

needed to make a clean 

get-away. 

Incorporating 

different glassing 

techniques can help you 

locate more game, and 

using that glass to help 

draw a route to the 

animal is essential. 

Though it doesn’t work 

every time, your chances 

improve greatly when 

you analyze what your 

optics are telling you 

about the animal, their 

behavior and the 

surrounding terrain.
