Waiting for the season to start... I saw Bryans post on his great buck. Bryan had me mount it for him. Whopper. Ed F

Is that your best work

You running 220 or 221? Whatever it takes?

Hi everyone! I'm just checking in to say hi. I'm a new hunter starting a few decades after most people do, and after quail 2 seasons ago, I bought an Accura V2 LR and did the hunters ed and drew a 36A tag this year. I've read a ton online, about a dozen books, listened to podcasts and watched Youtube psyching myself up for this season. I've been hoofing it routinely in the area I think I want to be in 36A. I've driven the quite a few of the dirt tracks and have a ton of questions, a few concerns for my first hunt. So before I launch in to all of those, wanted to quickly say hello! Excited for October!

Came across my biggest coues shed this morning, while trying hard to find its twin I spotted one tine sticking out out of the grass and leaves then another opposite and I thought no way could that be my first full dead head?! The shed was so thick at the base I wondered if it was a hybrid. Serious mass on this thing. The dead head I think is between 90-95 compared to my last buck. Any guesses on what the mutant would be? Anyway I'm freaking stoked!

Just got back from a 1.5 Day trip with Tomahawk Sportfishing out of Fisherman's Landing. Excellent crew, comfortable and roomy fishing platform. Left the dock on Wednesday night, fished all day Thursday and returned on Friday early morning. The trip was sponsored by Accurate Fishing, which was a HUGE bonus! Lots of nice bling on the boat to fish with! They hooked it up! Thanks a lot to David one of the owners, and Justin and the rest of the Accurate crew on board. Incredible generosity to let everyone fish with their stuff, no questions asked. They brought probably 50 rigs on board for everyone to use. They also had T shirts for everyone on board. Now on to the fishing...The decision was made to go way south and fish Yellowtail on kelp patties and if everything went well we would hit the tuna grounds for Bluefin, time permitting. We ended up way offshore of Punta Colonet, maybe even a little further south. It was a LONG run! The weather was windy and the swell was probably 5-6 feet on average with a few huge rollers probably 8 feet or so. Got a little hairy out there at times and made locating kelp patties really hard. The crew was on it though and worked their butts off trying to find the right zone. We hit the first kelp around 9 AM. I got hooked up but didn't get a good hook set and my fish came off. We ran for probably another hour or so and the boat got a few more, probably about 5 or 6 fish for each of the first two stops. It took quite a while before we found the next spot but from there things went pretty wide open. They found kelp after kelp and before long most people had their limit. I probably got bit 7 or 8 times and put 5 on the boat. The best one I got was probably around 10 pounds or so and the rest were of a little smaller grade but still really fun! Pretty good fishing for the yellows unfortunately we ended up way too far south to be able to hit the tuna grounds. It was around 6 PM when we started heading North again for port. Got back to the landing around 7:30 AM or so. All in all I had a great time. Didn't get one of the bigger bluefin that have been around but nobody on the boat did either. One dorado and 117 yellowtail for 27 anglers. The rough conditions beat us up pretty good and there were a lot of guys that were pretty green by the end of the day. Had about half a dozen kooks on board that made things kinda tough. Wouldn't follow their lines, would cast right across you, even with a fish on. Regular rookie stuff for most trips but a few of those dudes just couldn't get with the groove. The rest of the guys were really cool to fish with and met a few pretty hardcore hunters too. Even saw my first wild sea turtle which was way cool! Can't say much more, but if you are ever looking for a boat to fish on out of San Diego, consider the Tomahawk. They have a great operation! https://www.sandiegofishreports.com/fish_reports/151302/tomahawk-1.5-day-trip-wrap-up-(late).php

I am pretty sure they are. Hands down the very best brats I have ever had and they have a few types and know exactly how to grind the meat so it isn't too fine.

If you have a tag in that unit what's wrong with it? Especially when most of the unit is semi metro. I like hunting where there are trails and animals are somewhat used to people being around.

I know that people talk crap about BFG on heavy trucks but I have had probably 6 sets on 2 different Dodge 2500 diesels with good success. I am not hauling heavy all the time but my previous truck was loaded with tools, ladders, chains, and construction materials all the time and I would get 60k from a set with mostly highway miles. They have the new "DT" compound that is harder and specifically designed for heavier trucks. They have a 50k Treadway warranty.

I did glass a big chocolate this evening. But he was quite a ways off. Gonna try to find him in the morning

Better pics to show the mass on the shed...

Fake turf might be the answer. I have to mow this $hit every 4 days!

Don't give your antlers to a taxidermist until he is ready for them.

You need #10 gauge wire.

Holy crap! Brutal here! At my job if a customer supplied a quality part, I’ll install it for the same labor as I would if I bought the stuff. No warranty on parts or install in that case but I’ll install it. If the product isn’t on par with what I’d normally install then I decline the job.

If you have breaker space and a knockout on the bottom of your service this is an easy one to do.

No thanks. I love doing work for guys that want to "supply" the material and "just need labor". You want a professional job for an illegal price. Good luck. Pound sand.

I'm a pimp, yes

YES!!!!!! Though I do like my bucks like my women.......a bit on the trashy side.

So, no fake turf installers😏

Good way to judge elk, if he looks big he’s 340. If it feels like a lightning bolt has hit the tip of your penis it’s a 365+

316 2/8" 😎

Hey hjwwy! I'm a diehard quail hunter. I go to Az a couple times a year. Do you have access to the Fort? I have always wanted to hunt that, I'm former Mil. but I think the restrictions are pretty tight. Here's a video of a trip we did a couple years ago. I'm the good looking guy with the beard! lol Hit me up if you want to put something together for Jan. 575-496-3219
