If you have to ask a question like that please go take a hunter ed class asap and refrain from discussing hunting in public until you do take said class.

Man what a nice bunch

congrats, that last pic is a wallhanger.

Nicely done congrats

I didn't think it ever happened anymore but my mom saw a deer on top of a jeep this season. please be a good steward and representative of our sport and help others to understand how important it is for the future of hunting and the outdoors. Be descrete and use some common sense.

Wow crazy never heard of anything like that. Good job on the bear.

Stay off the scale especially when you start out. You will be trading fat for muscle and your weight will not change or it may go up. No scale just work hard.

Hey bubba you have a tag up there? Would like to help for an elk tag. Its my truck by the way.

Awesome love it. Soccer rules

Oh crap my wife said she was going to the mall not going hunting. Wondered why she was wearing her boots

MAYBE CARBON DATING WOULD HELP, HE IS LIKE DICK CLARK NO ONE IS SURE HOW OLD HE REALLY IS.

Nice job. I refuse the scale but my pants are falling down so I can guess I am on the right track. Had a good week with 2 lake swims 3 runs at home and some hiking. Diet was good until last night when we broke out the steaks with corn potatoes salad and bread. Still full this morning.

Here's a trick if you get humans on cams move them. I have never had 2 leggers on cams. Never use locks or hide cams and never lose cams either

Curious on how everyone handles ear protection on rifle hunts. I have some orange cheap plugs on strings I keep handy when I am carrying a rifle. I was on a few Cow Elk hunts recently helping out and I asked this question around the campfire and everyone looked at me like I was crazy, "Duh your going to be so Jacked at shooting big game you wont even notice the gun going off". Ok makes sense but my eardrum will know for sure. I plan on using mine when possible, I doubt I would pass on a shot if I didnt have time to grab them and maybe I will completely forget about them but thats the plan anyway. I also make the kids carry them around their neck.

Awesome way to go

Keep stopping Walmart and bass pro. I keep finding them during the week at Walmart and cabelas

Congrats on a good time out in the field. Great photos and story. Sorry to hear about the EX part of the story and the cameras. Keep up the hard work.

If its adult size I am interested. Any pics?

Just when you were getting freaked out on how much there is to do with archery hunts and upcoming rifle deer etc now the 2015 spring Regs are online !!!!!! I think we should all have personal assistants this time of year. lol

better than my long distance shots. lol they sure are going to have some big bodies this year. Never seen so much grass.

Ya I received the email that they regretted they would be doing survey flights during hunts, Major bummer for those with effected hunts.

PHOENIX – The Arizona Game and Fish Department is investigating a reported incident of harassing wildlife with an aircraft. Multiple reports were received by the Department on Aug. 22 and 23, 2014 from a number of concerned archery hunters who witnessed the incidents. On two consecutive mornings, the reporting parties observed a helicopter with unique markings and tail numbers repeatedly chasing, herding and harassing antelope in the northeastern part of Game Management Unit 18B. Arizona Game and Fish Commission rule R12-4-320 as well as federal wildlife statutes prohibit the use of any aircraft to harass, herd or purposely move wildlife in any manner. Part of the Department’s investigation included serving a search warrant for the helicopter and its global positioning system (GPS) at a ranch headquarters in northern Yavapai County. Game and Fish Kingman Regional Supervisor Tom Finley stated, “The Arizona Game and Fish Department takes these types of complaints seriously and will investigate any misuse of aircraft. The herding or harassing of wildlife is unfair, unethical and illegal, and it poses a danger to the public.” The investigation is ongoing and no charges have yet been filed in the case. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also is investigating the incident regarding violation of the Federal Airborne Hunting Act. This investigation was made possible because citizens reported the incident to Operation Game Thief. If you suspect or have knowledge of illegal activity involving wildlife or habitat, call Operation Game Thief at 800-352-0700.

Spent a few days out opening weekend scouting and bowhunting, we didnt get too serious on the hunting side but covered some new ground instead and scouted for some upcoming hunts. We had a few close calls with small bucks but the does had us pegged. I was able to sneak 20 yards from some does and spotted a bedded forky but again the does saved the little guy. I have some crappy digiscope mile away shots of elk and big deer but they are not worthy of CWT.com so I will work on that for future posts. I am learning Spot and stalk deer is a tough prospect.

How do you guys feel about full auto at a local range? I wasn't all that happy that the guy next to me had 3 full auto guns going. He was well organized and managed them well but does this fit into a crowded public range setting? I don't think I would allow it if it were me. Very sad occurrence for sure. Totally true story we were driving by that place and my wife said I should go shoot there and I said no way. She asked if I were afraid of the guns being auto but I said no I am afraid of the other people not the guns!

So it begins. First step start locking. Next step get with game and fish for pact next step fees for access. Get ready.
