Glassed for a couple hours and we didn't see anything but deer. Walked in a little further and looked on the other side, spotted pigs before we even sat down. Stalk was on. Got to about 30 yards, saw a big boar standing under a Ocotillo and let the Dan Wesson eat. Hit him hard. Followed him up, still on his feet in some brush. One more at 5 feet and tagged out at 1015.

Not that I'm aware of. I needed a bull to come 15 more yards and I could have shot at one the same distance i ended up killing mine.. We figured he was 365-75" hind sight I should have shot at him when he was within my effective range but closer is always better right???

I have helped a bunch of guides and outfitters over the years and without knowing your guiding history, my opinion would be to start guiding for an outfitter. Mainly for these reasons 1. Don't have to worry about permits, Insurance etc... 2. It takes quite a few clients to build an outfitting business with draw odds these days. Unless you have a few dozen clients on stand by it will take a few years to build enough repeat clients and friends of those clients to keep an outfitting business busy. 3. Again unless you have a few really close clients with money that will hire you when they draw, not too many people will drop money on a new outfitter. Most people want to see a strong past history of getting their clients good animals. Not just one or two possibly lucky years. 4. It's one thing to be a good hunter another to be a good guide. You will have to put up with some serious babysitting. If you don't like it or don't want to keep doing it you haven't invested much more than some fuel and the cost of your guides license. I'm sure I'm missing some, those are the first things that came to mind..

My schedule for Sept doesn’t look good, but couldn’t stomach applying for just a Bonus point. So, went with some tough draws on purpose. Watch me pull a tag now! haha.

There any powerlines?

He is a redline Airedale terrier.

Federal 205 Small Rifle primers - $100/1000(2 available) located at 101/Thunderbird 602-989-0670 These should all be less than a year old, no old stuff.

Been between 183-186 everyday for last 7 days. Making progress, got 100's 8 times on incline bench, trying to get to 110's 8x.

Yup, im going in With 9 as well. I have an AK hunt early Sept. So I only applied for snowballs chance in heck early rifle hunts. Couldn't stomach bonus point only. Haha

This pic is why we need predator control. We lost 20 goats to a lion in two nights. Just 1 of the pens pictured. Yes I'm an eye witness to the lion at 1AM in my pj's and no gun in hand.

SOLD

I'll take it!

Haha. No ninja here. If you spend enough time you are bound to get lucky at some point...

I shouldn’t be, I get them at the same rate. One every 10 years

Now move 99% of those dots out of the wilderness areas and put them on the forest roads. Likewise with 98% of dots any farther than a mile or two from those roads and put those dots along said roads. Now you'll have a pretty accurate road map of 22.

Hope you find some people, we are struggling to.

Not to screw up a sale but I saw about the same quality 243 ammo for $24 a box at walmart yesterday. $2 a round is pretty high for 243.

The fishing sucks at Roosevelt, just saying

My boys and I have the IDFG lifetime hunting license there so we just have to pay for out-of-state tags. Unfortunately haven't hunted there since 2014. We'll be back though!

Houston is a ninja and can kill a 400 bull in 37b. Besides I thought you were about quantity not quality. 4b late is better.

Thanks for the welcome guys! CatfishKev - We have a place in San Tan Valley - not used to being so close to other people, not sure I will get used to that, but wife doesn't want to move father out. Been down to Sierra Vista and to the base a few times - good looking country down there! HorseHunter - I won't miss out on the Idaho OTC - and the no points draw. Keeping my residency there. Hard to walk away from so much opportunity.

Welcome to the site! Just saw you were from Eastern Idaho. Did you bring this wind we are having with you? Nice intro and congrats on living life on your own terms. You may miss the OTC hunts of the Gem state.

Bonus pass for pretty much everything except 9,10,23 3A/C

This month has been hard, wife’s birthday, our anniversary, and 6 month anniversary of her passing was yesterday. I’m getting stronger and more leathery with every passing milestone. Today I decided it’s time to get back to meal prep. I started it last spring and dropped 50lbs by last years elk hunt. Currently I’ve gained that back and then some. Not easy being forced into the single life! Fast food is food and easy when you throw yourself into work to forget. Anyways, today I made lunch for the week... breakfast is oatmeal with dehydrated cranberries, cherries, and blueberries. Topped with cinnamon. Lunch is Frank’s red hot marinated chicken breast with broccoli and sweet potato. Haven’t been eating supper for awhile but I’ll figure that out.
