    How to stop (or decrease) trail camera theft.

    I hate to say it but, the first guy thats gets taught a lesson for stealin a camera will probably help the situation. Its just a matter of time before someone walks up on a guy pryin his camera off the tree. Odds are the guy whos camera it is will have had at least one stolen before. If I got my arse thumped in the woods by a hunter for tryin to steal a cam (but im not a theif) I'd think twice before I did it again, and I'd tell my theivin buddies (if i had any) to think twice too. Its a shame that people cant just leave a note on the camera if they want to look at the pics. I have a business card waterproofed in tape I can leave if I wanna talk to the guy with the camera. He can call me back or not, Im not about to steal the thing. I never understood stupidity I guess. A theif is stealin from a guy who frequents the area who owns guns. Stoooopid! Just like when my dads truck got keyed while we were in CASWELLS shooting range. People who go there enter and generaly leave with handguns.

    Next New Gun

    I would love another camo youth 20ga 870. I got rid of mine and regretted it ever since I really really want to see a 10mm XD, but it wont happen soon if ever so im content w/ my XD45C I would also like a FNH fiveseven Always wanted an AR set up for yotes but its a little pricey and i wouldnt use it very often I really want a 204 but its inbetween my 17HMR and my 223WSSM and is im gonna spend money and time on loading centerfire cartriges i might as well use my 223wssm I finally bought my dad a win model 94 trapper and got a williams sight and fiber optic bead thats pretty slick and a blast to shoot. The Judge is a hoot by the way, my buddy has one with him all the time. I wish it was the 3 inch version though. Seems like there are more offerings in buckshot in the 3" cartridge

    Bore sighting

    I do the same as RR but I try and get some butcher paper to cover the cardboard at the range. It makes it alot easier to see where I'm hitting if I'm off the small paper target.

    I'd like to start a debate.....about points....

    I would really like to see water displacement scores. For elk maybe a displacement measurement and a spread. How do they do displacement measurements? I would imagine a large water tank, but how accurate could that be with a tank big enough for an elk, especially if the skull plate can't be broken in two?

    I'd like to start a debate.....about points....

    I think the wole problem is that there are whitetails out west. If you shot an eastern WT back east you might call it a 3pt and the hunter who regularaly hunt there would give ya a hard time about it really being a 8 pt. If they came hear and shot an "8 piont" coues you would give them a hard time. I guess a 3 pt should always have brows so I would think that is implied. A forkie may or may not have eyeguards. I always specifiy forkie with eye guards but when I say 2 point it generally means no eye guards. If isnt a symetrical rack i say 3 by 4. It is kinda strange we have had a difference in clarification for so long. Im surprised it isnt the same all over the US with all the hunting on TV now. I suppose I should start saying 8 point, but im not gonna. Im gonna be weirdo to all those yankees and keep the point counts to where I can keep em on one hand

    Back from Alaska

    Great Pics! Looks like you had a great time. I would love to do that one of these days. Sorry to hear about Mountain View though. I went to Red Mountain.
  8. Usually theres some guys offering the service in payson on the elk hunts they run up there in november early december. I would think you could do pretty good up there if enough people knew you were gonna be up there. I know a few guys do it on foot too.

    Geovid tripod mount

    It does work good If i used my 10's on a tripod more I'd get one. I use the old websters on mine. Lots better than the Leica brand one. That thing is a joke. I hope they have changed it since. Nope, I just looked. Anybody see the Leica geovix LUX? Its binos that you can use to talk to other binos w/ a headset. Man I thought a rino was hi-tech.

    when did you shoot your first big game animal

    I was 10. I drew a slick headed elk tag. I was so excited for it. I had just got my braces put on nad my dad brought beef jerky to snack on. I remember soaking my dinner rolls in water so I could eat. It was pretty rough, but I did ok. We got into a large herd of elk and I had shots on probably 6 bulls before I did on a cow. The cows would run through my shooting late, and the bulls would stop for me. We finally got set up in a small meadow and I shot the cow in the picture below. She had 2 bulls folowing her. One was an absolute pig 380+ and the other was probably 350. They wouldnt leave even after I shot. My dad to this day thinks that was one of the largest bulls he has ever seen. I will never forget it. Packing the elk out i said " You know, a box of bullets will kill alot of elk" My dad chuckled. Every time I miss he tells me that a box of bullets wont kill near as many elk as I think, no matter what I'm shooting at.

    Draw result contest?

    How about a contest next year for the first member of CW.com to post when results are out. False reporting disqualifies you. Maybe win a T-shirt or hat or something. I'll even buy the first shirt for it. 2nd place is the first loser. 1st place only. That way I could think I may actually be productive while I was playing the wating games online and on the phone.

    Kaibab Pics

    Great pics! Ive never salted for specificly muleys. They also generally ignore the salt in my WT spots. It looks like they actually like the salt. Most of my muley pics are pass throughs.

    Frame pack Options

    I need a new frame pack. I'm looking for something with a seperate frame and pack. I would prefer the pack have a large compartment. I'll mostly be using it for packing stuff out, or long weekend trips. I was looking at the Cabelas Alaskan Guide Model frame pack. I dont need anything fancy w/ a scabard or spotter pocket. I use a my gunslinger or 2200 for almost everything. I remember RR making a post about some in the bargain cave a while back. Anyone have any suggestions. Oh another thing i'm not trying to break the bank on this but would like it to last a while.

    Draw results

    Wasn't the late year the time they farmed out the draw to some guys in mississippi or somethin, or was that an elk draw?

    Indian Shikar

    Killer photos! That golf ball launcher is something else. It sure would be odd to see a caliber that didnt start with a decimal point. Looks about an inch to me.

    Lazzeroni warbird

    Ive seen quite a few 180gr .30 accubonds thrown down range, bullet performance is great. They fly good too. I have some loaded up in a RUM w/ IMR4350. (kinda fast powder but it shoots great in my RUM and 7mag) I know a guy who shoots the same bullet w/ Retumbo. I bought a can of it to try out some loads. What bullets are you shooting out of your 300RUM?

    Short rifle case

    Ok, I think im savvy when it comes to finding what i want online. I just bought a winchester 94 trapper in 357. It has a 16" tube on it. Total length is 34.25". Its gonna get a peep reer sight with a fiber optic front. I cannot find an unscoped rifle case short enough. The 36" cases are for AR's mostly and way too tall. I have found youth shotgun cases in 32" length, too short. I have a 40" shotgun case wich is a little long to do what i want. I would like a sling style case like the Boyt. Some one makes a knock off alot cheaper but it is like 48 inches or something. Any suggestions?

    Coatimundie

    My buddy in the east Mesa had one get in his backyard and tear up his dogs pretty good. There was 3 big hounds that got it pretty good. One had to get stitches on his stomach from the coati. Another took a couple nasty scratches in the face. I saw the aftermath with my own eyes. Ive seen some hunting and scouting but never in big groups. I videod my girlfriend trying to shoot one on her coues hunt year. Never saw him long enough to get a shot and the wind was blowin somethin fierce. Got some video though. I should do somethin with that.

    vortex or nikon

    I havent looked through the monarchs in 12x but i have a pair of 10s. My buddy has the razor 12x50 and likes them alot. They look like good glass to me. I have always like glassin with a few people who use different magnification. If im with 15x guys we usually glass the same stuff at the same time. If you have a guy usin 12's or 10s in addition to 15's your glassin different stuff. Im a fan of the razor 12's
  21. I would call the draw office, probably after the deer draw. I drew my 2nd choice with 1st choice tags still avalaible due to the 20% max BP rule. The lady I talked to said she was "looking" at my application. Dont know how much truth there is to that but thats what i was told.

    Draw results

    Its been mentioned before but a text service would be nice. I dont know how hard they are to use or how easy it is to mess them up. Even an email notification would be nice. The elk and antelope I had about 3 hrs of constant calling on 2 phones to get through the first time. Then another 2 hours for the second time. I got a call at 4 am the next day from a buddy just to tell me him and his dad were drawn. It was worth it though, he drew the early archery and his dad the early rifle the folowing week. I would have had to call some one too.
