That's great she is N/N. I have seen it before as well and it ain't pretty. It is a terrible thing they can get and anyone breeding that in them is out of there mind. JMO

I just bought the same exact scope. Haven't had a chance to use it yet but wondered what your thoughts were on it.

You have nothing to be ashamed of. That is a great deer and if it's a trophy to you, who cares what anyone else thinks. Congrats.

This is an "Irish Elk" Pretty impressive.

I am biting my lip because I really don't want to justify YOUR comments with an answer but I will. Your very first comment was, "I follow most rules but this one I didn't". WTH is up with that?? Mute point or not. YOU went down it knowing it was closed. That's the point!!! If everyone with your thinking did it we would ALL be in a world of hurt. Just because you were not confronted or stopped by the FS doesn't make it right. As far as improving roads, if you ever worked for the forest service, & by your comments and lack of knowledge I see you haven't, you would realize that they do this to help firefighters, LEO, & FS personnel to get around to places to do their work without having a hard time getting there. In regards to marking roads, with ALL the ATV's and 4x4's around, a fence post, sign, or any other marking doesn't stop the idiots that refuse to obey the law. It is that persons responsibility to make that decision. If they do it they're an A-Hole. If not life is good.

I don't see the difficulty and there is NO excuse for not understanding the law. If the road is closed, THEN THE ROAD IS CLOSED!!!! If you find yourself on an unmarked road that is closed, I understand that. No harm no foul. But make a note of it, tell your fellow hunters and friends, But to intentionally drive down one that is marked just because EVERYONE else does or it will be a 10 mile hike makes you no better than them. Be diligent and do your homework. Get a map, make a call, ask a friend or do whatever it takes to NOT make yourself look like an idiot. God gosh people, we are suppose to be a hunting community that is constantly under fire from anti's that has respect for our rights and our hunting lands in our state and to show our younger up and coming hunters the proper and LAWFUL way to go in the outdoors and not be like all the other jerks out there. Unreal thinking.

Price drop!!! $175

You have to be able to read "ILLEGAL" in english

HOLY CRAPOLA!!!!!!!!! That's a monster alright!!!

Ttt

What monster???????

Just have to ask. What were you doing on a closed road?

Awesome training tips. If I had young ones at home this would certainly be a great teaching method.

+1 Being that she is "Impressive" bred is she negative for the HYPP gene? Good question. maybe Edge knows.

I know in Arizona being a white male I am now a minority. Still waiting for my subsistence from the gov, my free phone, free health care, free, food, free education, freee, freee, freee Ohhh and a racist too I guess.

I guess my thinking is, In this day and age, and we all know the economy is terrible, is it necessary for these people to shoot a buck, elk, cat, bear, buffalo, or is it just the way they were brought up and don't feel the need to conform to 2015. I guess it's just a way of life for some but even a small amount of animals shot for what they say is feeding their family will add to the others that poach and will still have an effect on the numbers of game we can Legally hunt. I will say that if my family is starving I would do whatever it takes to feed them. I don't know if this is the case except for maybe a rare few. Just a little reading if you want. This is just 8 of the biggest cases and not even touching the many millions of others. http://www.petersenshunting.com/poaching/biggest-poaching-cases-ever/

That would be nice. Like to see what she throws.

Sorry. Got off track Edge. Someone needs to buy this great looking mare and breed her. Bet she throws a great foal. Bump

I was on a 2 day and hooked into a 85# tuna. There were 12 others fishing at the same time. We were all friends. The tuna proceeded to go around the boat about 4 times and we had to go over and under a bunch of other guys fishing poles. If it weren't for the deck hand helping me we would have got tangled or broke off. Landed him and had a great fish to show for it. Deckhands can be your best friend at times but they do have there place.

As soon as I get this scope mounted I am shooting 5 dif loads ALL with 165 grn accu-bonds. You will get 10 dif answers to that question like I did. Some say heavier bullet but I shot heavier and want to try something a little faster that will still kill at long range. Good luck Bob. Faster is rarely better especially at long range. The heavier bullet will actually retain velocity better than the lighter one due to a higher BC and more than likely be faster beyond 600 yards or so. A heavy for caliber bullet will always maximize the potential of the caliber by providing more energy, and less wind drift. That means 185-210gr bullets in the .300 as Lance suggested. Fast and flat used to be what worked best because laser rangefinders were not readily available to everyone and being able to hold fur out to 400 yards or so was a big deal. Now days 400 yards is not even considered long range at all and 600-700 yards is the norm where wind conditions become much more important than a flat trajectory. totally understand that.

Sorry for a senseless loss. Hope you and his family can find some way to get thru this. dang shame.

I strongly concur. I disagree. Mules are awesome and they won't let you put THEM in harms way. They will just tell you to get off and walk if they don't feel right about something. You either love em or hate em. I happen to love em. JMO And how could you not love a face like this?

Keep the faith and we will as well. Prayers sent.

Cat. Look at the rear end. Looks like a tail drooping down. And the shoulders have that cat movement.

I will go back to what I said in another post. I truly believe that the G&F as well as the FS are undermanned. If they do see someone doing this they should right them a ticket with a heavy fine and make them move or leave the area. You start getting into their pockets they tend to listen a little more. As far as pleading ignorant, I too have gone down a road with NO signs other then the FS#. Got to other end and it said road closed. I believe that is the FS fault not mine. Some butthead may have moved it, placed one there, or taken it down. Who knows. Was I ignorant to the road being closed? Yes. Am I ignorant? No. Unless you ask my wife.
