Didnt realize my truck warranty was about to expire but a nice young man on the telephone let me know. Trajedy averted

Left-over 33 muzzleloader was all but a guarantee until 2-3 years ago when the social media crowd started posting and sharing the heck out of the left-over list. Things changed over night. Went from all of my buddies who applied getting one to maybe 1 in 10. It gets worse each year as the same guys are applying plus an additional 500 new guys who also just had "the same bright idea".

What do y'all think the impact of the 12 hunter (plus team of helpers) cull inside the GCNP will be on Kaibab cow bison hunters for the Oct 8-21 and Oct 29 through Dec 31 seasons? Cull is Sept 20-Oct 29 As a rookie bison hunter who just drew one of those two fall tags I could see potential positive and negatives. Imagine 400 bison streaming into the forest and camping out to avoid the inside park hunters, LOL. Gotta dream. KHunter

Well I wanted to post some pics from Alaska but most are jacked up and sideways, going to need to edit them with something on my computer first I guess.

Couldn't take another day at my job, walked from it on the 24th of last month. Kicked around the idea of retiring or going back to work at something else. I retired on the 20th of this month. Probably going to get a part time job for something to do, but for right now every time I get the urge to do something I go lay down til the urge goes away!

My son (46) passed suddenly on June 26. Very rough time for us right now. The good news? He’s in heaven because he received Christ as his Lord and savior when he was 17.

Thats good news , kids back in school. My kids got great tags , and business is on fire. And coueswhitetail.com has a lot of great people. I toast you all and wish you and yours the best..

You're not going to want to return.

36 days till I leave for Alaska for the first time.

Just got an offer on my late ma's house. Youngest daughter was just hired by Mesa F.D. Fired up the Diesel after it sat 9 months looking for an ECM. Wake up each morning beside my incredibly beautiful, loving wife.

Well in heber for a days. Decided to take the boat and try a different lake everyday. First up fools hallow. Water came up 15 ft locals said in two days so expected fishing to suck. 3 total in 4 hrs and we got this pig. big walleye. About 30” and 15 lb. first one ever on the boat. Fight good. tomorrow will be willow. Heard fishing has been great but who knows with the lake level changes also.

Pretty sure Wright Armory is doing 40% off FDE cerakote this month. Might be worth a look.

That was a trainwreck. Unfortunately.

Careful, you’ll get these banned like coyote contest.

Ya, fun. I had 4 points, 5 yrs back I brought 4 friends and dad Flat bed trailer, quad trailer will work fine. Winch and battery one from tractor supply. $129.00 Riobi sawsall ,many batteries and blades 2 large tarps for quarters and ice. 2 large coolers full of block ice, it will keep if taking to processor, like flag , Winslow, Payson but Phoenix 1is pushing it. Some elk cloth game bags Maybe some non iodized salt for hide, not real important We camp on hill above car trackers house. Good times, great rugs awesome eats

My daughter drew this hunt about seven years ago with 3 points when she was 13. You will shoot in order, based on the tag number. It was in the teens and below, 7 degrees opening day during the first week of December. After shooting the cow bison (Rachel) we hung it in the ranch barn, skinned and quartered it. We let it hang over night to cool (freeze). Returned the next morning to haul it out. The ranch manager will give you all the needed info when you arrive and you'll get a G&F info packet sent to you before the hunt. Things to have on hand; Several tarps for keeping meat clean while cutting/quartering or wrapping quarters or the cape for the ride home, should you not need ice chests. Bring a few friends, take turns cutting and thawing out your fingers. Extra help goes a long way. A vehicle or portable winch, they're really heavy. Tow straps or heavy rope are helpful. a quad ramp or similar to winch it into the truck. Several sharp knives, sharpener or a replaceable blade knife with a couple dozen blades. A portable propane heater if its cold, the wind can be brutal up there, helps thawing the fingers in the barn. A small generator and a sawsall with a few extra clean blades, longer is better. Everything froze, making bulk cutting difficult. If you don't cut and wrap your own meat, line up a butcher before the hunt, Dan Bix or Casey's are both good. We used Dan Bix and completely satisfied. Several extra large ice chests if you're going to cut it all up and take ti home or a butcher outside of flag. Then all the usual stuff too.......Maybe a back-up rifle. Best of luck, cows eat better than the big bulls too. Andy

Thanks for all the replies. I have talked to the ranch manager in previous years and he was super helpful with the questions I had. I will definitely be contacting him again. I had 35 points. taken a long time to draw a tag. Obviously not the luckiest guy in the draws. Looking forward to having the meat. I will definitely go out there and check it out prior.

Save yourself the trouble and go straight to Blackhorn powder

What he said☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️

I use front bipod, rear bag for prone LR shooting. Bipod and build a good rear rest with what you have for hunting. Stump, rocks, jacket, pack, Gatorade bottle, log, shooting sticks, whatever is steady. I have 5 Harris bipods. From prone to sitting.

Try some Phoenix shooting bags

Ended up being the Oct 8-21 cow bison hunt I drew. I should see first hand if there is any discernable impact on the kaibab bison hunt from the cull since that is smack in middle of the cull period. Guessing not a lot of impact since it is actually just a dozen or so bison to be culled a couple per week.

So stoked that Clover drew the statewide Governor's permit for quail and grouse😉 What a fall she will have as a 2 year old GWP. Looks like no deer or sheep permit for me this year.

Relying on memory of the ml regs I read recently, why not? Bullet gets shoved down the barrel and uses a BP substitute powder.
