    hey Amanda this is a crock of shoot...

    shes a professional angler and professional big game hunting guide now. https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/boa/6172355775.html Holy crap thats awesome! Although, she's much more qualified as a fishing guide then she is as a hunting "guide" with her ONE coues deer kill! Don't forget, she padded her resume with a goat gutting seminar at Cabelas. Trophyhunter's, book with confidence! is the sexual harassment included or is that an extra fee? Included in every package. That's why she books women, they're not going to stalk her like so many thousands of men.

    Home Depot and 4 X 4's

    More frivolous lawsuits. Not sure when it became the norm to pay for the saw wane (maybe 1/4"?), but for decades the lumber companies can round up the dimensions of wood products. So why can't I pay $3.51 for a $4 board? Just ask the clerk to round your money up.

    Temp.

    I took this pic around noon and 2 1/2' in front of the forge I was working at. Not sure it's accurate cause the back of the thermometer melted. The shops swamp cooler felt like a furnace and the misting system was blowing steam. I lasted another two hours before retreating indoors. .

    Bullet Proof Elk study

    After seven years of studying the movements and behaviours of female elk, University of Alberta researchers discovered they become virtually bulletproof as they age. Elk learn to become shy as they get older, said University of Alberta biologist Mark Boyce. They hunker down in the deep forest and stay in rugged terrain. Those types of behaviours were very effective (for survival) in heavily hunted areas. Boyce and two former post-doctoral fellows used radio collars fitted with GPS technology to track elk in southwestern Alberta and southeastern British Columbia between 2007 and 2012. In their study, published Wednesday, they found female elk learned behaviours that helped them better avoid hunters with each hunting season. The bold elk move the most, are the most aggressive and will bolt out into the open. Those elk died at a high rate. said Boyce. As they age, they tend to become shy, more savvy, learn to avoid roads. While some elk started out shy, most learned to adopt the shy behaviours. The magic number is 10, said Boyce. After this age threshold, female elk become almost bulletproof, virtually invulnerable to hunting. In addition to gaining a better understanding of elk behaviour, Boyce said the study shows that wildlife management and conservation strategies are working. Weve been very effective, said Boyce. Elk in North America were almost extirpated 100 years ago and now they are abundant. One of the elk in Boyces study was 23 years old, while many of the other females lived to about age 20. Male elk tend to live for only four or five years in Alberta because of their bold behaviour and hunters preference for bull elk, Boyce said. Their short lifespans meant they were not part of the study. The study, titled Learning From the Mistakes of Others: How Female Elk Adjust Behaviour with Age to Avoid Hunters, was published in PLOS One on June 14.

    Bullet Proof Elk study

    Where I deer hunt annually, I've been able to approach does to within 8'-10' from camp. The does even come into the hotwire and highlines set up for the horses/mules to steal their pellets. Yet to see a buck among them.

    Anyone ever up and quit a good job?

    I built a costruction/services co. from scratch in ABQ, NM starting in 1989, I had zero employees. By 1993 I was netting over $150K a year and hired a part timer to service my DOD contracts at the USAF base there and I started taking 5-6 days a week off to work on my ranch in Datil, NM. The company's​ revenue was growing 100% annually. But the crime even in the nice part of Albuquerque where we had a home, was just horrendous. My home and business were constantly being broken into. My wife was from WA and we decided to sell everything and move there. And although I loved the outdoors in WA., selling the business was among the worst decisions I have ever made.

    Shed hunting

    Took my daughter on her first horseback shed hunt last week. We weren't in the forest an hour when we came across my best find to date. It's massive weighs over 12#. I told her to ride the immediate area looking for the mate, when I see a raghorn 50' away. Hard to believe they're both from the same species. Found this shed in the same spot last year. Pales in comparison..

    Doberman Ear Posting

    There's much I like about the Dobies. They have great stamina, fiercely loyal and leave my livestock alone. Here's my daughter's dog; Odin. The posted ears give him a lot of character too.
