While Tuna is very good to eat, Spam is much more better. The rounded corners of the can allows for aerodynamics not seen before in shelf.

Anyone tried this yet? I've heard good things about it. Im thinking of giving it a go. My pressure washer is electric and claims 2300psi, which should be plenty. Kind of getting sick of spending 150$ on such an easy job.

Specs on frame? Belt size, stays, strap length?

Make deer ears vary pretty good, especially an older deer vs. A middle aged buck. I just severely misjudged a buck that I thought was atleast 22" wide, turns out he was 18" wide and was still slightly outside is ears on most pics. Ill say that buck is 24-26" wide.

Thanks for the tips guys. I'll attempt this after February so I can do the Javelina skull as well.

Do you boil first before pressure washing? How long do you boil if you do ( mule deer.) I used to boil around 3 hours with dawn and water and the pick out the remaining meat. After watching some videos online pressure washing, I am just wondering if this is a better way. One of my taxidermists pressure washes, the other one still boils.

no distaste here. I've had good buddies pay him money for buffalo hunts, buddies not pay him to join the co-op and by all accounts he is a great guy. The fact that you can not see the 12a salt situation as a special situation, tells me that you have a bias. Everyone that hunts that hunt or has helped on that hunt see's what Russ has created. The fact that he has so many salts along a fairly small stretch of GC boundary does NOT entitle him and his clients to exclusive hunting rights. It's not like he is doing something revolutionary and everyone is piggy backing off of him. IMO putting a salt site in the middle of BFE and then walking up on hunters at your salt site is bullshit. However, I am sure it happens. The 2nd guy to get to such site has to leave without causing a scene. It is just the right thing to do. Russ has created a situation where the Buffalo literally leave the park for a short time and hit one of his numerous sites. To think that you are not allowed to hunt along his salt line is naive at best. He MIGHT have 2-5 clients each hunt and maybe 2-5 willing to be part of his CO-OP. IF he has all 10 at his sites, that still leaves 50-60 sites available to hunt. To think those sites are off limits is absurd. He has literally conditioned the cattle up there to hit his salts over the last 10 years. This hunt has turned into a real SHHIIITTTT show to say the least and issues like this will continue to arise if he tells his clients to try and make other hunters leave. Just a matter of time before one of them gets in a fist fight. Just because Russ feels like his personal ETHICS trump someone else's, does not mean he gets to rule the 12a/ GC boundary.

No man, I don't see any powerlines. Just razzin you. Its a solid buck.

Looking like Jacoby Island is getting lonely.

Everything i read is around 1600-2kish psi.

Thanks man! I used to boil them and then get some hair salon bleach to get the skull bright white. I was really hoping this pressure washing deal was the silver bullet. Lol

I've watched a couple of videos showing just pressure washing, no boiling.

4 arrow quiver, no blood on any of them? dang Kevin, you scare him to death? Congrats on a nice buck

I remember back when 12a was otc, azgfd had decoys up each year. I always thought it would be great to sneak up on it and put an arrow in it.

Except you.... I mean he "hauled" all the salt. Everyone knows the deer don't hit water, it was definitely all the salt he hauled that got the deer going there. Don't be lazy, find your own waterhole to haul salt to. 😜

With only maybe 10 hunters... He gets to reserve spots on the NF for his hunters? GTFO with that non sense. If thats the case, im gonna put salt at each waterhole in my otc unit and then make whoever shows up to that water leave. You see how dumb that sounds?

Completely opposite opinions on this. Agree to disagree.

Have you ever been up there on the hunt? Russ has turned that GC boundary line into a salt mine. Do you think he gets to own all (I think) 80 of them? You are so far from reality. It is kinda like showing up opening day to your blind on a waterhole and a guy already sitting in his blind on that same water hole. Do you think you are entitled to that hole because you set your blind up first? Lazy is not knowing anything else about hunting and not being able to adapt to plan A not being available.....

So Chad is a DBAG for sure, but... Zac, did you really show up after a guy was already on the salt and then try and sit right next to him? If in fact you did, your amateur status of being a hunter showed. Anyone with any kind of courtesy knows that its first come. No one gives a goat's dick who put the salt out. Russ has put out a million pounds of salt, but doesn't own them. That whole hunt has turned into a shoot show because of the guides up there. Hopefully this trailcam ban will stop guides from thinking they own a spot. But seriously, did you show up second that morning and then not leave?

The guys that ran huge amounts of cameras will have a much more difficult decision on January 1. It is going to be hard for them to try and hide the fact that they are running cameras for "take." They have a lot more at stake and the case is much easier for the officer to make. The guy that runs a few cameras will be hard to enforce and it will really come down to personal ethics. Whether you agree with it or not, you will be knowingly violating a game law if you continue to use cameras to aid in the take of. No different than the baiting ban, most will stop using them, some will not,

Thats a huge "what if"

Josiah went MIA on this issue.

All those hashtags are cute.

Checkerboard land ownership is shoot and should have never happened.... but it did. Reducing tags is the only thing Game and fish can really do. Less animals to hunt for the masses, less tags, seems pretty straight forward. As for high fencing it and taking the animals off? Really need to lay off the meth. IIRC, the big bo is 2/3 private, 1/3 leased land. How would you feel if they told you, you needed to give all your land assets to the state because its too big of a piece of land. Seems socialistic at the very minimum.
