Great finds!! Thanks for sharing the pics!

here is a closeup just for you of the elk tacos sprinkled with garlic salt. Taco night during our hunts has sort of become a tradition! Yum!

That is so AWESOME!! Congratulations and thanks so much for sharing your story with us!! WOW!! That's a heck of a shot! You must be on cloud nine!!!!!

Great job!!! Now when your wife snaps her fingers at you at home, maybe you will pay attention!! LOL!!

I think it's fine to use harvest or killing. Either way is accurate. I do like the extra connotation that the word harvest has which implies using a renewable resource. I think linking hunting to the idea of harvesting something like corn or whatever is a good thing since most non-hunters can understand the value of growing and harvesting your own food. I think this video does a good job of linking the two concepts and explain a lot about why people hunt. Those of us that spend a lot of time volunteering on wildlife habitat improvement projects are certainly tending a crop...

Congrats on a special first for you and your dogs!!

Great job, congrats!

Congrats on your first coues and nice sticker!

That looks awesome!! Great idea and excellent taxidermy work!

Incredible! Congrats on those great finds!

I am out coues hunting in 27 and we have seen several bears.....i was bummed the unit had closed. We had a big cinnamon bear at 100 yds last night and watched it feed gor a long time on juniper berries

I really find these products make a difference. Wilderness Athlete is dedicated to bringing you some great products that help you keep your energy and focus up during a hunting trip. They also want to help you reach any weight loss goals you have by providing healthy meal replacement shakes, weight loss supplements and multi-vitamins. And for those that get headaches and nausea at higher elevations (say >8500 feet), then you should consider the WA high altitude advantage supplement. I know I could have used it while working on mt graham a week ago! I have used the performance bars, the hydrate and recover mix, and the energy and focus mix and really found they helped keep me feeling strong during some backpack hunts.

DLC covert is having a trail cam contest. Entries have to be in by Dec 1. They are looking for some neat pics from Covert cameras, so if you own a Covert and want to enter, visit the link below: http://www.dlccovert.com/contest.html

Have a great one Lee!!

For those that don't have a Covert Camera and might be interested in one...you can get them from me and help support this site http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/trail_cameras.htm

YUMMY!!! thanks! that's a great trout!

No problem with regular range finders that I know of. Boone and Crockett says no using sights with built-in rangefinders. For more info on their idea of what is ok and what is not, visit this link: http://www.boone-crockett.org/huntingEthics/ethics_affidavit.asp?area=huntingEthics

Wow, that is a tough decision. I guess the only way it's a bad decision is if you get a job immediately after selling the stuff. Then you sold them for no reason. But if you do get a job then you can buy them back, so I guess sell them if you really need the money. Your hunting friends can always loan you gear until you get back into full employment. I think Outdoorsmans is looking to hire a salesman who knows optics and hunting gear, so you might be able to do that for awhile. http://www.outdoorsmans.com/

You might want to call the offices for the recordbooks and clarify their position on this...you are sadly misinformed on bears not being allowed to be entered if they are taken with the aid of dogs. The only problem with fair chase on a hunt with dogs is if someone has dogs with collars and uses the receiver to locate the dogs during the hunt or if they are using radios to communicate during the chase.
