My Rights As An American

Really bummed out. Was planning on attending the seminar and meeting you in person but the boss has me out of town for work now on that day.

Thanks to all for putting this informative session together. I learned quite a bit this evening. My daughter was the one who drew the lucky name to win the hunt, but someone else here needs to tell the story!

Looks like I lucked into an archery bull tag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Charges pending, yeah baby! Congrats to all!!!

Things sure are heating up quickly up here! Tonight was my last night of fishing Powell, have to come home tomorrow. Got in about 2.5 hours of fishing from shore, about 1/2 mile north of the dam on the east side. Tossing anchovies cut in half on a weighted hook and catching fish suspended about 30-50 feet deep. Landed four stripers tonight, which I gutted and cut heads off since the Walmart special filet knife STUNK!!!!! Dull!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, could have caught more if I had a little more time. What a blast though. Looking forward to grilling up some striper! Firstcoues, I agree, they put up a nice little fight! I was using 12 pound test and I had the drag set pretty tight, so I loosened it to have a little fun. The smallest fish gave the best fight, the larger fish were ok. Coworker and boss spent the last three nights in the hotel room while I had a blast!!! Their loss!!!!!!!!!

First time fishing Powell. Working up here in Page for a week, so in the evenings after work I have now run over and fished it twice for about 1-1.5 hours each. Two nights ago I caught a nice 3.5-4 pound walleye on a crayfish bait from shore. Last night I caught 2 stripers from shore on anchovies. What a blast!!!! I was told by everyone not to even waste my time shore fishing, glad I am stubborn sometimes!!! Going out again tonight, but this time to maybe harvest and take home a few stripers!!!! Hope all is well with everyone! Roosevelt soon for me.

Here are the two stripers, lost the pic of the walleye. Could not keep any of them for the first few days, but hoping to catch some tonight, filet them out and put them on ice. Walmart will supply me with the necessary tools!!!

Excellent and congrats! Yeah, that moment of walking within a foot or two of a wounded pissed off javelina is not joyful in my book!!!

Very nice, I know exactly where you were. Some tough country up in them thar hills!!!! Congrats!!!

Wow, was not aware. Need to get out the topos to see which ranches this impacts and how badly. Could be a good thing in the long run by removing swaths of mesquites and returning it to grasses, but not sure yet.

I got 15.5 pounds of sausage from my javelina last night (50 nice sized brats!), all super clean meat. I will not add anything that is pretty much not perfect meat. Keeps the quality exceptional, but the yield is a little less. My January javelina yielded 26 pounds of sausage and 76 brats, a few smaller ones but overall average sized brats.

I was blessed and honored to have picked up a rifle javelina tag and share the hunt with my 6 year old daughter, my step father-in-law and TJ from this site. I have never hunted javelina with a rifle, just a bow, and have been lucky to have taken quite a few over the years. Took my daughter and step-father-in-law down for a hunt down outside Tucson on Friday afternoon. After a short chat with a nice Game and Fish officer, TJ and I ran out to a spot that was just up a "little" hill according to me, the hill from heck according to TJ who was already tired from a tough hunt that morning. Saw some pre-rain sign but no animals. When we got back, TJ had found a whitetail shed earlier in the day which he gave to my daughter, who now has a lifelong friend!!! Next morning saw us in an area that TJ had seen some javelina the day before and I was very familiar with from years of hunting the unit. After glassing for a while, we tried to move to the back canyon around 10 am when some less than courteous "lion hunter" in shorts rudely cut us off. After exchanging some words about courtesy, he clearly did not get it and the conversation quickly became confrontational. Jerk had no respect, courtesy or class. Really the worst person I may have come across in all of my years hunting!!! Anyway, we walked another way around the mountain into a different canyon but found nothing. Daughter did GREAT!!!! On our way back we almost stepped on a small king snake and we took the opportunity to educate my daughter the differences and she just had a blast! Back at camp, I had some friends from town visit us for lunch. My 6-year old schooled the 14 year old twins and their grandma in checkers and Candyland. FUN to watch!!! That evening, TJ and I went out by ourselves. TJ glassed, I walked a mountainside. Finally, after hiking over a mile through rough terrain, I decided to glass where I had come from one last time and found four javelina coming up towards me, but still 500 yards away and the day coming to an end quickly. I decided to cut them off, but the moment I got off the mountain, the wind shifted right to them. They were 200 yards from TJ but he had no chance of seeing them from his position. Kicked them up three times and finally landed a bad round into the back half. I debated going back to get my daughter to teach her tracking but was curious, the terrain was steep, it was cold and dark. TJ and I tracked a very poor blood trail by following the tracks and found the javelina about 50 yards later. Black out in thick four foot tall weeds, the javelina bedded down. I almost stepped on it and it scared the heck out of me as it looked like it was going to lunge at me and tear me apart! Ended up dying only about 100 yards from the truck!!! Boar, about 42-43 pounds, pretty nice. Food was great, camp was great, all-in-all, GREAT time was had by all!!! Daughter had a TERRIFIC TIME, was extremly courteous to all. Step-father-in-law may now be hooked on coming with me more often. I cannot speak for TJ, but it appeared as though he had a great time also. Cannot say enough about what I great time I had with all. I was very proud of my daughter and how well she did with everything!!!!!!! Special thanks to TJ for all of his friendship, knowledge, patience, help and anything I missed! Glad to share in new memories made with him! Especially after helping me with my elk hunt, now I feel like I offered something in return! Thanks for reading, did not take pictures (DUMMY!!!!!!!) except on the way out I grabbed the head and skin to take a quick picture with my daughter.

Sounds like fun! Congrats to all!!!

Just finished making brats, four hours from starting deboning to completely wrapped and cleaned. Total was 8.5 pounds clean javelina meat and 7 pounds excellent pork cuts. This made 50 large brats total. TJ, brats coming your way buddy!!!

This year, I was lucky enough to harvest two. The first I caught running away from the waterhole as I was driving to my hunting area. 200 yards later I caught up on foot. Carried it back whole because I left my pack at the truck. The second was spotted off a mountain 200 yards from the truck. It died 100 yards away. Another carry whole to truck. Both gutted then skinned and cleaned before hanging for 5 days. Just finished second batch of javelina brats! Four hours from start to finish!!!

Where you going in 36c? Will be there myself with another coueswhitetailer.

Ok, how about a trade for 2 boxes of 22lr? At the current going "market" rate, that should be about $4,000!!! Very nice quad! Wish I could afford it, but all I can afford is a free bump for you. Good luck.

Nice of you! Taking my 6 year old daughter next weekend on her first ever big game hunt for javelina for me and rabbits for her, but I will be west of Tucson. Just shot our 22 on Sunday to sight in for her. Good luck and if nobody takes it maybe I will swing to east Tucson and trade you something. Good thing for you to do!!!

Another Junk overpriced AR. Probably one of those who stand in line @ SW just to rape someone and drive the prices up further and further. Amanda, how about a restriction on new people having a minimum of at least 25 posts before being able to put something up for sale, you must be the man with 573 post Coming from the person whose 8th post was this? Get over yourself. Still waiting to hear from the seller. Good luck.

Wowser, that was quick! Congrats to both parties!

Nice looking trailer and a good price. I need to sell mine and upgrade to bunk beds with the larger family. Good luck, and it looks like it is in great condition from the pictures!

Maybe you can tell us a little bit about yourself. I see that you joined the site this morning at 3:37 am. Twelve minutes to post three guns for sale, must be a record for a new member!!! Good luck with the sale, but like I said earlier, you are dealing with very educated cwt members who know their stuff about guns. Posting pictures, details of gun conditions, prices, where you are located, how members can see them in person, etc. may help expedite your sale.

Ah, another brand new member who joined 16 minutes ago! Welcome to this site!

I definitely feel more comfortable dealing with a cwt member than someone from other classified websites or hunting/fishing sites. I have met quite a few great people through this site because of buying or selling something.

Very nice gun! What are you considernig trading for this? Is it an item that you no longer have any need/bond with? Will you use this gun? I think it might be tough to resell for $6-800 on an open market, but maybe to a specialized shooter looking for this gun it could be worth that. However, I am NOT an expert on gun values.

Welcome to the board. As a courtesy, you should probably post the prices you are looking to get for these. Are you in Arizona with that (619) cell number? What do you mean on "information how to buy"? Maybe more information for everyone would help sell the guns, and pictures really help even more! Good luck.
