Let me try again..wasn’t trying to divide anybody. Just airing My opinion. I said I was super happy to see a kid succeed. To all you guys who ripped me, No need to get your undies in a wad because I see things differently than you. Great buck, congrats

Ok so I’ll probably get beat up for this, but i’m a grown man who can take it. Don’t get me wrong....I’m super happy when a kid is successful. That being said, I hate the idea of a bunch of guys going out and covering every nook and cranny and calling in the “shooter” when they find their game. To me, that’s not what it’s all about. I hated the 20 man deer drives in Iowa where I grew up. I hate it when the big shot guides do it. Last week, it was just me and my grandson hunting, figuring out where the elk bed, where they feed, and getting a cow during the youth hunt as a result. To each their own I guess. My rant is over.

Nope....not a mt. Lion

Well done!!

Two weeks after my son Michael got his muzzy elk in unit 8 on evening of second day, grandson Ryan filled his tag on evening of 2nd day in 4a. After a bunch of “what if’s and if only” moments opening day, everything fell into place Saturday evening. After hearing a bull bugle close by, I told him....it’s on. A few minutes later 5 cows worked their way into the clearing , and he took care of business. I haven’t drawn a tag for myself for 9 years, but can’t imagine enjoying anything more than seeing the excitement of his success. Bust of luck to the kids still at it!0

Congratulations! You were spared a mind numbing experience of waiting endless hours for something to happen.

Not much to the story, but my son drew a unit 8 muzzy cow tag this year. Made 3 scouting trips during the summer to learn the area. Brandon (gunsmith 25-06 on cwt) was very helpful in giving some areas to check out -he lives in 8. When the season came, we came close opening morning, but were messed up by someone out walking their dog!!! The following evening and morning were pretty uneventful. The almost full moon and hot weather ...86 degrees, didn’t help. Saturday evening it all came together when we had 10 cows come through on their way to a trick tank. He picked a fully mature one and dropped her just before dark. We worked till 10:30 skinning, quartering, and hanging to cool. Picked her up next morning and back to camp , got meat on ice . What made this most special is 3 generations were involved-Dad, son, and grandson got to share the experience. Sorry picture a little fuzzy, but darkness was coming fast.

Competition

How about enlightening us about the coming completion.

I’ve been a big sports fan all my life, but no more! I’ll watch college football, basketball, and baseball.....unless they turn that into a political thing too. I’m done with the pro level! I hope they all go bankrupt

Those are great! I can relate to way too many of them.

Being able to bowhunt at 77 and then to get a monster bull is IMPRESSIVE!!!

Congratulations!! Never complain that your hunt was over too quickly. I logged 191 hours in a blind and never had an opportunity. Still trying to draw again tho.

So how much $$$ are we looking at? I’m interested as well

Go to preference points, not bonus points. You know exactly where you are.....the only unknown being point creep

Actually I came from a f250 to a 2500 ram and don’t hate it at all. The Ford was the 2nd worst vehicle i’ve Ever owned!

With all the mayhem going on ...looting,rioting,killing and hatred, I thought I would pass along something positive. On July 4 (yesterday), I went to Sportsman’s Warehouse and picked up some gear for a camping trip coming up. I got home and realized my wallet was missing. After a quick search in my truck , backtracking the few places i’d been, I raced back to the store. I looked in the parking lot where I had parked, and then went to customer service and asked if anyone had turned in a wallet. YES!, someone had found it- it fell out of my packet while getting in my truck, and turned it in. $65 in cash and 7 credit cards intact. To whoever you are...thank you!!! It’s so good to know there are still people out there who are honest and will do the right thing.

I had 9 points, put in for Kaibab cow bison and wasn’t drawn, so no guarantee with a point or two.

Driving a 18 ram 2500 with Cummins. Zero issues . Had a f250 before . I spent close to 15k keeping it running and was facing a $5500 repair when I said enough already. Bought the ram for one reason.....Cummins.

I have a ranger. Buddy has a pioneer 1000. I’m looking for a Honda now. Very nice machine, can seat 5 and isn’t like driving a train around like a ranger crew

I vote, always have, always will. If ever we need conservatives in office, it’s now!,,

I have toprut-no bison odds tho. Otherwise it’s good

I did a caribou hunt in Ak in 2014. Flew to Anchorage, then to Kotzebue, then small bush plane into Brooks range with Northern Air Trophy. Back then a tag was $325 and you could buy 2. I think it’s $625 now and can only buy 1. Our hunt was outfitted with gear and food- drop off, see ya later. Filled tags in 2 days, cost about 5k each total -airfare , outfitter, tags, misc including hotel one night. Fun to do once. I’ll probably never do another.

Very nice!
