Merry Christmas!

Congrats bud!

Just wanted to share a story with you guys who hunt down there. This year for the Nov. WT tag I was up on my hill at first light and just started to get to where I could see the next hill. While starting to glass I had 5 Illegals come behind me and surround me. They straddled my gun, which was lying next to me, and scared the heck out of me. I was shaking scared. They asked me if I had any problems with them, because they had the burlap sacks full of weed on their backs. I told them to just leave me alone I only wanted to be deer hunting. It scared me so bad that I ended up leaving that area and told BP where to go. I don't think they caught them, but I went to another hill the next morning and seen more Illegals stashing their dope. I once again told BP about it. I was so scared that the next morning I just went into my spot and shot a little buck just so that I could come home. I was by myself. Sorry for the long story, just wanted to share it with you!

Good luck and have fun!

Sweeeeeet! Congrats on a beauty!

Not sure what you are saying here?

how long you spend down there? I will be down there this Thursday-Monday, then back the week after Christmas...

I brought this up out of the archives...I didn't hunt deer down there last year because I was still nervous about this whole situation. This year I put in for a Dec. tag down there and got it! I do have my brothers going with me and will have a sidearm at my side. I am hoping to not run into this kind of situation again, and will be watching my back as I go into some of these same places. I hope to have a great hunt with both of my brothers and their best friend having the same tag!

Congrats on some nice bucks!

Congrats! That's a beautiful ram...

That is awesome! Good to see the youth getting excited!

Archery javelina in 34A, and hopefully a leftover turkey tag...Congrats to all that were successful in the draw!

Have you looked into the Hankook tire? I went from the BFG A/T's to these and have no complaints. They are worth looking into...

I was able to draw a very coveted bighorn sheep tag this year and want to share the pics with you guys who are always so helpful on this forum. It was a tough, but very rewarding hunt in Units 9/10. I hunted for 11 days without even seeing a sheep. I packed down into the bottom of this canyon for 3 days, and 12+ miles, and loved every minute of it. I hope you guys enjoy the pics and once again 'Thank you for a great site!'

You will need to do some scouting for that hunt. They are in there, but odds are against you if you don't spend time getting to know the unit. G&F has a good map, and their website can help point you in the right direction. Good luck and welcome to a great site....

Congrats! Well written story, thank you for sharing it with us...

Neat story, thanks for sharing it. It was nice meeting you. If you ever need anything just let me know...

Thank you all for the input. You are very helpful. I think he's gonna start looking at some this weekend. Trent- He has a smaller pair of glasses, but is looking to invest in some higher quality ones. I wished we had options to choose from at that $ amount on 15's. LOL! I did call Outdoorsmans but they said they can't match Doug's price in the Razors and didn't really believe it. Thanks for the info thou.

My brother is looking for a pair of bino's for under $500. I use Swaro's but obviously those are over that $500 limit. I seen that Doug has these on what looks like a great sale, but I am asking for any input from anybody that has used them. I have no experience with these, but I do have a Vortex spotting scope and it works great. Thank you so much.....

Cool video Jay, Thanks for sharing it....

Thank you for that info. I will look into those for him. I really appreciate the input....
