Thought I'd share this year's bird, as I enjoy reading others posts on here and figured I should contribute. Had to endure some brutal wind on this hunt but was able to find this guy early on his roost. Got set up where I thought he'd go and of course his fly down path was not what I had planned for when I got set up in my spot. Despite that I was able to keep him interested after he flew down with the softest purrs and light yelps I could make on a slate call. He tried his best to convince me that I should go to him, but after about 30 minutes of that game (and thankfully no real hens around), he finally made his way to me. He hung up at about 70 yards, but I changed it up with some yelps from one of Little Creeks mouth calls. That flipped his switch and he came into range. One shot and he was done. Prior to the shot, this bird had some of the most radiant red and blue color in his head that I've ever seen on a turkey. I suspect he had been perched on that tree all night by himself with only one thing on his mind. A big thanks goes to Little Creek as he makes some very good calls and is a member here. Good luck to all those with tags left to fill.

My heaviest bird to date…..just under 26 pounds.

My son has a 2006 Dodge Ram that was having issues we thought were catastrophic. We looked for a few days trying to find a repair shop that would diagnose the problem without charging crazy fees. While considering our options I happened across a CWT post mentioning Hunter. With nothing to lose, we decided to give him a call. After about a 5 minute conversation with Hunter, I knew we were talking with the right person. He showed up as promised and quickly diagnosed our problems. New injectors, ac compressor and many other repairs and the old truck is running like new. I really can’t say enough how I appreciate everything Hunter did to get my son back on the road. If you are having trouble with your diesel give him a call. I don’t post very often but I felt I should give Hunter(Copperstate Diesel) a recommendation. Thank you Hunter!!!

I’ll go anywhere within the state!

That medium size Harbour Freight hard case (I think it is the 4800 size?) works fantastic for the mini. I can put my mini, a few cords, battery pack, and inverter in there and it can get kicked around without worrying about damage to the contents. If you are worried about the quality of these Apache Harbour Freight cases, don't. I don't think you can beat them for the price and they regularly come on sale. I'd put their quality up against any of the premium cases (I've owned several). I've picked up a few of the Apache 4800 for under $40 when on sale.

I've been saving points for Elk Deer and Antelope for 12 years. I can finally start cashing them in since the alimony is done! I'll probably do them antelope, dear, elk.

If you need packable power try something like this. You can find one to match the power tool batteries of any major brand (Dewalt, Milwaukee, Ryobi, etc.). Using an 8ah 18 or 20 volt battery (depending on the brand) I'll get about 4-6+ hours (depending on the work load) of continuous usage on a charge with my Starlink mini. The 8ah battery and inverter weigh about 3 lbs combined. I've used this setup to sneak out of the office to hunt or fish and still conduct business (in non-cell service areas) on more than a few occasions. The whole setup (Starlink, battery setup, & laptop) probably adds 6-8 lbs to my pack. But man is it worth it to be fishing and hunting on a "workday".

Will My Ex wife work. She's definitely an A$$. You can probably pick her up really cheap

Also, of important note, the $5 a month stand by mode does still give you low speed data. It won't let you stream and move through the internet very well, sort of like old school dial up. But I have found that the low speed will still allow me to send and receive texts and audio phone calls without drops or issues.

I actually had 7-8 moose points for a while and walked away from them when they went to $100 on them years ago. Kept my sheep points, cuz sheep are life, and I’ve killed 2 Shiras already and don’t have much use for another one. I’m pretty positive they’ll go to a weighted lottery on moose and sheep before long so my 18 sheep points might someday do me some good. It’s a risk I’m willing to take to get another sheep tag!

I wish I had gotten the mini- but it wasn't out yet. I am very happy with Starlink - when we go camping on 4th with multiple families, it sounds terrible, but everyone loves it, one time it had 32 users connected at once- music, movies, teenagers hate to be away from their phones as much as it pains me, they can't put them down, they are soooo much better at camp with signal than driving to get signal and doing who knows what at all hours of the night - I also can work for days in the cool pines vs office / field.

Gone.

Because a license purchase is eligible for matching Pitman Robertson dollars. It’s the best bang for the buck for the dept.

I tell my wife this every time we drive past that nonsense and it is the frustrating thing about the "wild horses" that are getting alfalfa hay every day which in the wildlife spectrum is against the law to feed wild animals!!! And the rape job those horses have done in that area is horrendous...........

Also, consider the gx 470 instead of the 4th gen. The headroom in the 470 is sooo much better than the 4th gen and prices aren’t a that much different on them.

The 2 boxes of Nosler Ballistic Tips is 22ct. Does that mean there is 18ct brass there? The handloads are all on normal 25-06 brass not made from 30-06 brass correct? Also do you have the head stamp and count of once fired brass?

Sold

Way to go and thanks for sharing your success! I like the photo setup. Nicely done.

Breakfast a few 5 pieces of bacon, egg cholula, avacado, cheese and salsa.

I found the REM 700 DM Magazine. Tell me the hunt unit you lost your magazine in 1991 ? i will return it at no charge!!!

Since you asked… I’ve got about 10 days sheep hunting and 3 javelina hunts in the Lexus and really like it. The 4runner gets around a little better but the Lexus has more headroom and fits me and my boys better.
