I killed this buck with my 4 year old son by my side during the opening morning of the general rifle hunt. We were late getting out of the cabin by about an hour but it all worked out. As we were working our way to our glassing spot we found this guy hanging out near the road. Having my son with me during this hunt was by far my best experience in the field.

Just an update after my trip up there. It was short-lived but learned a lot. We found a fair amount of elk on the last few days of hunting, but they were just moving at night. Guess I'm not experienced enough to make the most of that. However, I'd like to thank everyone for their input and suggestions. I may not have been so 'successful' as I was without that. We had a great time even though we didn't come home with meat, and I'm good with that. Thanks again all!

Man... its super slow in this place anymore, thought I would share a couple pic's from my recent endeavors. Hunted the late rifle and then stayed for the OTC archery. Killed a decent buck with the gun, rut was slow but we saw some great deer, watched a giant get killed, couple good one's gave us the slip. Archery hunt, the deer never really got going until the day before I left, saw a couple amazing bucks, just couldn't get it done. Had a great time with some buddies, also enjoyed a few days solo.

Haven't seen any pigs posted yet so I thought I would share mine

Wife and I got lucky and arrowed two seconds apart. Both nice boars for Chorizo!

Not much to write, other than I sat on my glassing nob this morning, wondering why I even came hunting with this nasty winter storm on top of me. Windy, cold, and rainy. About 20 min into glassing I heard rocks crashing underneath me and this buck was running around the nob looking for a doe 100 yards beneath me. I went down the hill and to my surprise the buck was still there coming out of the cut he had no idea I was even there and gave me a 40 yard shot.I made a great shot and he expired within 40 yards. Being in the right place at the right time was the truth this morning and luck was on my side. I have never had a buck run up on me like that when I am glassing but I guess anything is possible during the rut!

“Council” simply means ‘lawyer’. A lawyer would have no authority to grant them anything, except advice. (In fact it specifically says “…for legal advice…”.) To me, this doesn’t read at all like they already have the authority to shut down state land access and/or roads. It DOES look to me like they are interested in exploring the option, though.

The Boys had a great day out Sunday. Only day we had with high school wrestling in full swing. First archery kill for one and second for another. First time I have every seen three taking on first stock, same herd and no blood trailing. All dropped insight. Middle pig is a hoss.

Not a huge coues guy and haven’t been on the forum really in years but I used to love scrolling through everyone’s success back in the day so I figured I’d share mine. Got in tight to this buck thanks to a good buddy and made good on the opportunity.

Water has been running down washes and not been collected my entire life and nobody said anything. I know it crossed everyone’s mind. But now this week, after the storm I can’t open social media without being shown a video about how California is wasting water by not collecting rain runoff.

I’m in with 25% draw odds for one of my 1/2 choices.

Russ is awesome. Do tye co-op hunt. It's free. You are by yourself the whole time. But you meet with other hunters and kinda work together on who goes where. No spots are really better than others. Especially now that you can't use cams they don't really know how often bison come off that park border. But he will help you and all other tag holders. Also will help a ton when you tag a bison too! Great group of people!

I guess I didn't directly answer your question. If you are going with the Kowa, get one with the Flourite glass! I suspect the 880 series is really the one you want if you don't mind a bigger spotter. It is arguably one of the best spotters you can buy. There is a Kowa in the classifieds that is a great spotter if you are OK with a fixed eyepiece and not stuck on the flourite glass.

how many times have you been asked what’s the “biggest bull you’ve killed?” How many times you been asked “how many points you got?” that’s where the bragging rights are.

Gonna take me out to dinner at least?

I'm kind of a tight wad but I like good stuff when I know I am getting my money's worth. I bought the Kowa 554 before my wife's Kaibab late hunt this past fall. No regrets whatsoever. I know I will have that on me from here out. The bigger ones, maybe not. Simply incredible at 2#.

Beautiful..............course I ain't the one shoveling...............

Nice good luck I didn't even want to shot this one lol my younger brother missed 4 shot and I told him next one is mine I'm pumped for the Jr Hunt my daughter has a tag

Congrats and good job. Eddie
