0%,60%,80%....not sure...but I am sure it’s less then the ratio of cousin kissers and poachers to respectable people in your family

Normally I’d say shut up, go away idiot etc.... but in this case you’re the true expert for a change....so go ahead

Better to always stick with the truth,the judge will decide what the fine will be,and the comission will decide whether he loses his license priviledges.My father was the chief of law enforcement for the G&F in the old days,1947 -1972,and it seems as alot more of the fines etc.was negotiable back then.Losing your license for 5 years was put in place not for shooting doves without a license.It was meant for the hard core poachers that wanted to live up to their ego.The people that had total disregard for the law.I understand that the G&F has gotten away from that somewhat,I hope that the young man pays a fine and doesn't lose his license.

I was chasing a really nice buck in 17B last week that was pushing a large group does. The big guy jumped units right into a non-hunt unit and onto private land. He stood broad side to me 40 yards out for probably 15minutes... I'm almost certain they were laughing at me.

I put 4 stalks on this buck Friday but each time busted by one of his 11 does. Caught up with him again Saturday morning and made what I thought was a very marginal shot. Playing safe, I spent the rest of the day glassing, trying to find him with the optics to no avail. The following morning dropped into where he took off after the shot and found him within 200 yards. The arrow, although farther back then I would have preferred, did catch vitals so I'm sure he was done within a couple of minutes. Don't mind the long hair. It's Covid season and I'm living my best Tom Hanks from Cast Away.

Unit 27, late October coues deer hunt. We packed in and filled 2 of 4 tags. I also killed my best buck yet! video is live on the tube (it’s a little long but I cut a lot out. 9 days out there is tough to condense):

It's time for my well-used greeting card....And Happy Holiday to those who do them.

Hey Lee send me a text or call me tonight. I think I have a few dozen once fired, maybe a partial box or two of random brass. I'll be home around 5 or 5:30 and can check it out. Houston 48zero 54zero forty four 45

When I was on active duty back at Offut, a guy I worked with was on the AF Rifle Team and always made fun of my crappy Ruger 77 25-06. Every deer I shot with it was a one and done. He said he would never shoot a Ruger. Only Remington 700s for this guy. This was back in 96. He had loaded a bunch of 6.5-06 that were too hot. They were either blowing up prior to hitting the target or just not doing any obvious fatal damage to the Nebraska Whitetail population. He called me up, knowing I had filled my 5 tags (1 buck and 4 does. you could buy 2 doe tags, they were buy one get a bonus tag, hence 4 does) and asked to borrow my rifle. He didn't have time to load any new ammo cause the season was closing in a couple days. Sadly I reminded him of his aversion to my crappy Ruger and let him try to figure it out on his own. same guy ridiculed my Bushnell Yardage pro 400, telling me that nobody needed a range finder out to 400 yards, then asked to borrow it. Moral of the story, don't make fun of someone's stuff then ask for help in a time of need. My 6.5CM (aka Bitch Biscuit) has taken 7 game animals this fall, one by me and the rest by nephews, nieces and a friend. All one and done.

All I can say at this point is where they heck is LARK when you need him. He used to call the 7-08 a doorstop ... wonder what he thinks of the Creedmoor???

There isnt a hunt in unit 21 and there wasnt one last yr.

Today's installment...

I hit a buck in the 10 ring in august (little high/far back for a 12). got him through both lungs still. I saw the shot and figured he'd be dead in 50 yards when he bolted behind a little rise. That little sucker made it probably 300-350 yards. I found him but I could really see how someone with a little quit or less experience wouldn't have. Not much blood at all. I've killed a dozen or so animals with a bow and that is the only one that made it more than maybe a hundred yards. Amazing how much country they can cover in a few seconds. He took off like an absolute rocket when it hit him. I wouldn't be surprised if he was only on his feet for 20 seconds before he died.

The 160 TMK (I have an excellent load for mine too) works wonders on game. I saw the video of Brandon shooting his pronghorn last year, and the fur flew and that goat dropped like struck by lightning.

The 2400 abs is supposed to be awesome, I have a 2200 BDX and it’s ok, my Leica Is hands down more clear. I bought the Leica used and the sig new, go figure.

Looks like me at the 7th grade dances...

And I'm not talking about the current state of the nation. I knew the odds of me drawing a sheep tag were slim to none, but it happened in 2019. The odds of what happened on my deer hunt this past weekend however, had to be far slimmer and certainly unbelievable without proof. Whether the destination of the day or the particular part of a ridge or canyon, I have told myself a hundred times "that is where you're going to find a lion." With an abundance of hunting pressure on opening day of the third coues hunt in the unit, I went 2.5 miles to the deepest and darkest canyon available from my hunt party's area before sunrise on Saturday. The drainage of the canyon was surprisingly void of deer at first light, so my partner and I kept on the last several hundred yards up a shale face that crested into one of the steepest and biggest Google Earth tricks that I've ever played on myself. I immediately thought, "crap it is going to be tough to find a buck in here, but this HAS to be lion country." One tucked in doe and 5 minutes later, and I had finally found what I'd been dreaming of every day on the mountain for the last 18 years. There sunning sideways on a large boulder along a steep draw, stretched out my first glassed lion with no idea we had slipped into its lair. Unbelievable. The excitement nearly doubled when my rangefinder read a number starting with one of a few magical digits, 4. With the state of cat and a series of boulders and rock faces to navigate through, I closed the number to 400 yards even and set up prone. I waited for an hour and a half as it roll occasionally from side to side. I tried to guess how everything would play out including when, how and for how long it would get up for a stretch, but I was in no mans land. I knew nothing first hand about their daytime behavior and came to the conclusion it could be hours before anything changed. With a solid rest, no kittens joining the party and a forecast of high winds picking up well before noon, it was time to put all the load and range work to use. Timed to a break in the early morning gusts, 2 quick reports and a cloud of dust rising from the rock pile beneath is all that could be seen. For the first time ever, the deer tag in my pocket didn't matter anymore. We found 3 kills all within a few hundred yards. Upon arrival, I feared the lion had crawled its way into a hole that I was going to have to dig out similar to several javelina over the years. But luck continued on my side. My first lion, a 2-3 year-old female. Another first was my young cousin's buck on Friday, his first day ever hunting. Obvious first timer with his headlamp still on his head at noon. I hadn't noticed all day or when taking the photos either! Haha. It was also my first weekend with a new pack and I couldn't have carried the lion out like I did for camp to appreciate without it. A buck on Friday and a 80-90 pound lion on Saturday - what a way to break it in. The Savage LWH has also taken a sheep, coues and lion all within the last year with the 6.5 ELD-X doing its job 3/3, dead right there. And the most unbelievable part? After 18 years behind binoculars across the state with zero lions spotted, a second lion on Sunday after creeping into just 380 yards. It didn't have a care in the world, like it knew none of us had another tag in our pocket. We watched it along with deer a couple hundred yards to both sides for an hour before we let it lay and moved along. I've always heard "anything can happen" when it comes to hunting, and after the last 2 years, it isn't so unbelievable anymore.

It ain't the covid it's the liberals.

My prediction: Oregon in the north; ASU in the south; ASU to the Rose Bowl. Write it down!! 😎

I just got my custom rock from Jimmy Kimms. I am more than ecstatic with his work! I just need to find a home for it. https://instagram.com/jjsrocksandskullz?igshid=109gbujmoy73n https://www.facebook.com/jjsrocksandskullz/ https://jjsrocksandskullz.weebly.com/
