How would I know if it slipped? I noticed the same thing. I wonder if the hide was handled properly, but this is my first mount. I had a seasoned buddy with me who helped me cape it properly. I rolled up the cape and took that out as the first load. I wouldn't imagine it was mishandled by me, but don't know.

Yah, wish him the best. Seems like a great guy. Unless I have a record breaking bull, this'll be my last trophy- and I got lucky to get this one approved! I can't be the only one, right??

Haha, yah. Long time coming.

R and R. Feel bad for Bill, he had back surgery that set him back a bit on his schedule. I harvested this one back in Dec 2012.

That's pretty funny. The bull scored 306. .....BOB! was right on there. -Cody: what do you think of R and R?

Here is another view.

anyone to guess the score? just had it scored today.

Just passed the bug test with the wife. Thanks guys.

Thank you. It's a very cool feeling to see it again.

I was up in 23, saw quite a bit of grass- more than I am used to seeing. Hoping the summer is to these areas.

So to be clear ... You are not French and this is not you ? Last I heard there was about 100k being offered to give this guy up ... wonder if he is still out there kicking squirrels ? https://youtu.be/SIXGEj9nwLw Haha, nope. I was about 13 at the time. Far more accidental than that. That's awful.

Incredible variety. Thank you!

I had a great time taking my kids out to Horton Creek for some exercise and further introduction to the wonderful out doors. Every time I go out with them, it reminds me that I should do it more often. We started out at the Horton Creek trailhead outside of Payson. I live in Gilbert, and it is exactly 2 hours, door to trailhead. Perfect for kids between 3 and 10. Level ground, water, beautiful views. Look closely at one of the pics, it is wet on one side, and dry on the other. That is because the stream disappears into the ground. You could actually hear a draining sound- it was cool, and the kids loved it. I also ran into the biggest wasp I have ever seen. Oh, and caught a little stock rainbow in the process (we threw it back). It was a great day.

incredible speed goat. wow.

Wait, are these the ones that bite the tarantula, then lay its eggs on it body- slowing feeding them?

yup, that is about 200 yards from the Horton Campground.

Here is a link to info for the trail: http://www.arizonahikingtrails.com/hikingpages/hortoncreek285.html

Besides craigslist, anyone know of a good spot to pickup pre-owned hunting equipment? I have a couple of guys on my hunt that won't have a frame pack, tripod, and other basic items. Obviously not looking for top of the line stuff- just serviceable.

Yes, thank you for sharing the pictures. Great shots.

Makes sense. Crazy look of it, though.

I'll check them out, thanks.

Brilliant. I might do that now.

Brilliant, thank you all.

That's an option, but then I'd worry about the kids getting into it, or me misplacing my pack. I did what any married man with a smarter 1/2 did: give it to my wife.
