Theres some good bucks up there on that Muzzy hunt it's a fun hunt good luck.

As a kid I can remember visiting my grandparents and cousins in Idaho and Montana. We'd all be outside eating homemade ice cream and reminiscing about old times when the conversation would inevitably turn to the time Grandma got chased up a tree by a moose, or when one got a tire swing stuck on its antlers at the cabin in Island Park, or when one chased my cousin Brian home after he fell off the snowmobile. Still today at just about every family gathering just when things start to quiet down someone will call out in his direction "MOOOOSE!" These experiences and many others shaped my admiration of the largest member of the deer family. When we would spend summers at the family property in Clancy, MT, the most prized of all sightings was a bull moose. Their huge black bodies, contrasted by wide flat, white palms in the creek bottoms or black timber are mesmerizing. While attending college in Rexburg, ID I spent as many hours as possible exploring the Big Hole mountains just outside of town. I hunted elk and deer there but was always distracted when an 8' ungulate would cross my path. One day in November while looking for a cow elk I watched a behemoth bull moose peruse the timber apparently roaming for a second cycle cow and I promised myself that one day when I had the time and money I would be back for one of the beasts. Those lean college years didn't allow me the opportunity to trophy hunt, let alone do justice to a once-in-a-lifetime venture. But I took note of the favorable draw odds, especially for residents, and committed that the day would come. Before leaving my native born state again I scrounged up the few hundred dollars to purchase a lifetime license ensuring that the NR cap for such a tag would never become a barrier to entry. So this year, 10 years removed from my post-collegiate departure, I decided the time had come to begin the process of grinding away at the 18% draw odds. I figured that even without a point system in Idaho the expectation was that I would draw a tag within 5 years. So imagine my surprise last Friday when I was greeted by this

Red touch black, safe for Jack. Red touches yellow, kills a fellow. The coral snake will have bands of red touching smaller bands of yellow. I was was putting up a game camera on Mt Lemmon and came across this snake this morning. I absolutely love catching the non-venomous ones, but was in question if it was a king or coral. Luckily I had service to distinguish between the two. The pics don’t do justice on how bright the yellow was. 95D03733-C9B2-4F1E-8BB3-92D2DFC15387.MOV

Dumbest rule ever

New Rule Affecting Archers and Other Hunters In accordance with R12-4-303, it is unlawful to discharge an arrow, bolt, or hybrid device while taking wildlife within 1/4 mile of an occupied farmhouse or other residence, cabin, lodge or building without permission of the owner or resident. This new rule change is effective June 30, 2019.

Then hopefully they are hot chicks, like in dude where's my car.

!9a just got it;s first monsoonal rain of the year. Not enough to create the type of run off that fills tanks but enough to resume food production where things were drying up fast.

Seeker, Did you take that video before you shot it? Would it be possible to post a picture of the bull the day you shot it?

Really shooting for that 38-40mpg. Rented a 2019 for Idaho trip and each time I filled the tank for $45 and it said 580miles to go I laughed out loud... I'm about to park my 4wd and use a car daily cuz $75 a tank for under 300miles sucks. Thanks

Red to black friend of Jack , red to yellow kill a fellow..

SEEKER, What cat are you referring to?

Reloading is NOT cheaper. What reloading does is let you tailor a load to YOUR rifle using the highest end components you want. It let's you make consistant loads. it lets you pick the bullet you want to shoot. And it is 95% of the time producing more accurate loads. I agree, if you only shoot 100 rounds a year, not really worth it. Initial set up costs FAR outweigh returns. There is not enough difference between the 143 ELD-X and 147 ELD-M to warrant any decision. See which one shoots better and use it. Either will kill game the same.

Nut up and buy the swaros

If you end up in Springerville make sure to hit up Avery's BBQ. The owners are friends and make some darn fine BBQ.

I think he's done growing

Here is some info on the ‘09 stock Ranger:

Cool that means there's a bigger than average ram in there 😆

Hate to say this....actually, I LOVE getting to say this....Taylor drew ANOTHER 12AE late rifle tag this year. Luckiest kid ever. 3 Kaibab tags in 5 years. Unbelievable. 1 early, two late tags.

Pics or it didn’t happen

Most I can offer is my presence. Never been to either place. I've driven by Lee's Ferry but that's it. I'm just saying I need to cross the Ferry off my list first. Would love to get up there this coming winter though.

I'm mostly an old school Rock'n Roller. Can't stand that bubble gum country music, however, I do like the old school country singers of yesteryear.

If you are local call Eric at axisworks. See what he can do. If that is out of your budget I would go 1 of 4 routes. 1. Explore the Fierce Carbon they have at Sportsman's. 2. Kimber if you are looking for light and off the shelf. 3. Something cheaper, but maybe upgrade the stock and trigger. 4. Cheap Ruger or savage in 6.5 CM and lots of ammo. Practice practice practice.

The scope is as or more important than the gun.

I've been keeping hides and have had gloves for friends and slippers for the women in my life made out of them. Here's my wife's mittens, they're warm!
