For me a successful hunt is if I could have killed something with a rifle. J-

Day 5

Hey Guys...

   Here is a quick little reciepe that  I got from Shawn Monsen's wife Melissa...   They are a great little pick me up when you need one on the mountain. They don't require any special storage.  It doesn't matter if they get mashed.  The are not that bad for you and best of all they taste great and are less filling...  

But it is approximately:

• 3 cups powdered milk
• 1/2 cup ground flax seed
• 1/2 cup ground wheat germ
• 1 cup old fashioned oats
• 1-1 1/2 cups peanut butter
• 1-1 1/2 cups honey

It is often said that 10% of the people take 90% of the game. While I don't know if that statistic is correct, I do know that some hunters are consistently successful. So it leads us to the question, what are they doing differently than the rest of us? Do they go to church more often? Did they sell there soul to the devil? What do they have in common that leads them to be more successful ?

As many of you know I am always looking to highlight our listeners hunts. Well, 12 point droptine sent me this picture and a story of his recent hunt. WOW, now that is a Mulie. Great Job and thanks for sending me the story - Jason

If you have never had a chance to chase stink pigs, you need to make time to come out to Southern NM or Southern AZ to hunt these little guys. They are a perfect animal for a bowhunt.  After reading my story about the Pink Arrow Project, Garth from AZ sent me this story about his recent Javelina hunt.  He wrote the story below.  Great Job !!! - J

Hello Everybody...

I have had a few people contact me on getting more information about the Pink Arrow Project for Breast Cancer Research from Victory Archery.

I came across the Pink Arrow Project this week and I really think it is a great way of showing your support for the ladies in your life. I will not proclaim to know all of the statistics but we all know someone has had or has Breast Cancer.

“Whether you shoot with them exclusively or carry one in your quiver as a sign of support, an all-pink arrow designed by Victory Archery just might end up bagging one of the world’s largest and most deadly predators---breast cancer.

The idea to offer and all-pink arrow designed to benefit breast cancer research came about last summer, at the International Bowhunting Organization National Triple Crown in Erie, Pennsylvania. It was there that Christa Lawhorn, wife of Victory Archery General Manager Bart Lawhorn, glimpsed some pink arrows made by Bart, being used by a Victory Staff Shooter. Christa, a nurse who has worked with many cancer patients, immediately saw the potential to benefit those patients by making the striking arrows available to everyone willing to support the cause.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation will receive a large portion of the profits from the project that is being headed by Mary Hale of Tennessee, a cancer survivor and longtime 3-D archer who had to give up the sport in 1999 when she was stricken with cancer. She will be showing off the arrows and answering questions at the 2008 ATA Show, in the Victory Archery booth.
“What I’m hoping is that this project will bring more life to archery, give us something to work for and be proud of.” Hale said.” I had just a 15-percent chance of making it; archery gave me a purpose, and this has allowed me to give back, and has brought a new meaning to my life.” Hale said.

“The Pink Arrow Project is about making money for cancer, not (simply) making money,” Hale said. “I realize that companies have to make money, but there are also good things that happen when we give, and Bart Lawhorn is not going into this to make money. That’s the way we want to keep it, it’s got to be about giving, not receiving”

“The Pink Arrows are available in all sizes of the VForce arrows and shafts. Bohning Archery is also helping by contributing white Double lock Blazer Nocks and Blazer Vans in white and hot pink. They are also available in other models as custom orders only.“

The video below is an addendum to my last post.  I described in text some of the dynamic movements for warm-up.  On the video below, you can view what these dynamic movements actually look like when being performed.

Welcome to my BowCast blog - "Bowhunting Fitness with Dan Staton". I have teamed up with BowCast and Sportsman's Fitness to bring you a blog that is dedicated to fitness for the bow hunter. I have very excited to get underway. As a short introduction on what I plan to cover over the next several weeks, check out the short video below.
