Are you taking notes kev??

Noticed on my way back from WCL today the south side of 260 is tore up. What's the scoop Dennis? On a lighter note,,, a chrome and blue Castmaster was getting hammered on every other cast. Jr and I were there at 06:00 and caught a limit with three between 1.5 and 2lbs. Weather came up as we were cleaning fish at 11 and dumped hail and some thunder. Elk were loudly making their presence known for the first hour or more. No wind until almost 10 and fish jumping all day. Drive out from WCL to the 260 had the road covered with ice from the hail, 1"+. Fun day for a couple of Desert Rats.

Since I was recently in Estes Park, Colorado for an art show, a few days before and after the show were spent in Rocky Mountain National Park photographing the rutting elk. Sometimes the elk cooperated and were close, and other times the bulls and their harems were too far away in the middle of Moraine Park. The Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 adapted to the Fuji GFX 100s was used. Many of the images suffered from often having to use a high ISO of 6400, but the Denoise in ACR did a reasonable job on mitigation. More images may be seen on the website. https://www.plateaulightphotography.com/New-Work/Rocky-Mountain-National-Park

Bringing this to the top. Only 50 lbs left. I will ship in the order they are received. Anyone that ordered pecans, have had them shipped or pecans have been set aside for pick up. If you do not receive your shipment by the end of next week please contact me. I have met or got reacquainted with some great people the last few week's.

The 50-70 Govt was first produced for the Springfield Trapdoor 1866-1873 and the 1869 Sharps. The .41 long and .45.long began production in 1873

I was given permission to metal detect in an abandoned mining camp yesterday. Mostly tin cans and broken bottles were dug up but I did find one intact perfume bottle. I started finding where the crucibles from the assessors office were tossed and was hoping to find an intact one when I hit a good target. Wasn't attracted to a magnet, nor was the oxidation and crust rusty at all. Too big to be a coin and weighs exactly 2toz. Put it in acid and vinegar overnight. Tests out .925 silver. Why was it there in a 19th century dump? It's obviously been poured into a crude mold or crucible. Could the crucible have been tossed out with the silver still in it? Normally the crucibles are crushed and reran through the smeltering process because 100% of the mineral content is not poured out, leaving small amounts of precious metals behind. However it got there, this mine produced 250000 ounces of silver in its day. I can now account for two of those ounces.

I have an assortment of hard pistol

50-70 govt would be my guess

Cool finds Tim! Love our state history. I'm going with 41 rim fire as oldest.

Some other good finds... The ghost town keeps giving up her booty. Treasures, or booty if you're a history buff I guess. Left to right. .41 Remington rimfire .45LC balloon head .50-70 Govt or 1 3/4" Sharps with Beret anchor type primer. Without cheating online, which case do you think is oldest?

By the way, I work my azz off to be mediocre at best as well! It’s still a blast!

because it’s just a money grab for azgfd and outfitter advertising animals drink from ranchers tanks more than anything. Good amount of the older azgfd drinkers don’t work and many that do hardly get any big game to hit them As far as not having near the animals, there was recently a thread and posters chimed in saying hunting was better years ago

Received our shipment today. Thanks Phil. I've already started snacking on these pecans...so fresh!

That is not what happened and you and I both know it. He wasn’t even there when the elk died. He got lucky because the dept tried to protect him and then ran out of options and actually violated their own rules in the process.

I figured it was you or someone else on here was able to get a message to them. I'm grateful I got a message back the next day. So, thank you and the CW forum folks for having relationships and good reach in the hunting community. I came here figuring this was the right place to find a solution. It was. Good luck with your hunts this year. Mark

I wouldn't lie to you about that stuff! I sat in the youth turkey camp this spring with one of the owners and got the whole scoop. And then I bugged them about getting maps going for my other favorite unit! Glad you finally heard back. I hadn't had a chance to reach out yet because my buddy, who is dating one of the owners, is on an elk hunt.

yep so is going 5mph over the speed limit. Huge difference in murder and speeding. Still breaking the law but still different.

To be fair, I've heard he flew a week or two weeks before his hunt and they are getting him because the OTC elk on the Strip was open, not because he flew too close to the hunt or anything. Which to me is kind of a bogus charge but whatever. It is what it is.

Probably some elk steak and corn to go with them
