Excellent. Congrats on a nice velvet buck.

Congrats! First archery deer is awesome. Mine was a small doe and I remember it as well as the biggest buck I killed. I hope you realize your life is changed forever.

That's pretty cool. Never seen one of those.

Thanks for all the advice. I've been watching for sales and trying to research. Going to pick something up this fall.

Awesome. That's a great bull.

I'll take you guys Turkey hunting on private land for only $1650! Ha,ha. Yeah I'd say those turkeys are fairly safe.

I second this with Bob. I'll be in the Permian Basin, West Texas wish I was in 32. I was in ND before, now I work in the UT Uinta basin and up on the Mesa and the Jonah in WY. I never seem to have any opening day or holiday off, but by some stroke of luck I'll be hunting the opener.

That cartridge needs to go on a diet. Fat little guy. It's like a 6mm bench rest on steroids. Great deer round I'm betting.

Eat all the Gluten you want. People like me that are allergic to it will limit or avoid it. I do think gluten free is a fad for most, but not for people with allergies to it.

Bump

Ran every other day after work last week. Push-ups, crunches, dips, calf raises, squats, etc at work. Cut way back on the fast food, which is difficult when you are away from home for 2 weeks working 13 hour shifts. I cooked beans, rice, grilled veggies, chicken and yellowfin tuna for dinner most nights in some combination and took left overs to work for lunch. Zero soda last week, which is a victory for me. Also very little caffeine, which I'm trying to limit or eliminate.

Monster

Love it. Great pics once again.

Governors tags I presume?

There are Sandhills on the Cibola refuge. If you hunt anything on a NWR non toxic shot is required. Beautiful bird, I know nothing about hunting them, but they are found in similar fields as geese. There are guides along the river that hunt geese, I bet they'd be a good place to start. http://www.hunt4geese.com/hunting_update.htm

How big is it? Recluse are pretty small.

I'm betting you bullet choice with your barrels rate of twist just doesn't like the higher speed of the 150 grain load. Go to loose powder and work the load up until you reach maximum safe powder charge while retaining accuracy.

No! Didn't draw anything in any state.

MT too. $900 will get you an OTC deer and Elk tag.

Just awesome. Love those moose pics and the colors on those cutts.

Sad way for a magnificent bull to die.

That sure sounds tasty.

Very nice.

Have and carry several. An old Schrade is my primary. I believe it's the old man model. It still sharpens easy and holds an edge well.
