Do those places do a security deposit? Depends how much they rent for I would think. If it's inspected before and after... A lot of stuff in campers is made to break and pretty easy to replace. I would definitely have it insured if you do though. What's one rent for per night?

Sounds like you saw quite a few elk and had a good time. Sorry it didn't happen. Did you have a chance to shoot your bow since? Maybe your sight got bumped?

Musta been sick and tired of those car warranty phone calls I guess

Something to look forward to https://news.google.com/articles/CAIiEL68U5yNpn0iQElZ7PeN-LsqGQgEKhAIACoHCAow77zbCjDiq8wBMNiCsgU?uo=CAUiANIBAA&hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen

95% sure we will be there. Caliche will be using his marlin 30-30 bought by his great grandfather for his grandfather which is now handed down to him. Looking forward to it!

Food saver here as well

First we went in a while. Kind of a cluster fudge but they were biting. Only got two small ones though. Hoping to make a couple more trips soon and hit up some other spots.

Haven't you seen gremlins? That what happens if my kids get wet.

My daughter got me one of those usb charged bionic bluegill that swims around constantly. I'm gonna smear bluegill all over it and give it a whirl.

I'm diggin this cloud cover but hope we don't get rained out on our first fishing trip in forever.

Heard the flattys are biting. Everybody has off Saturday evening so I'm gonna take the whole gang. Hopefully my little girl will lay hands on her first flathead. All she's ever seen are trout so I'm pretty stoked.

Heck yeah man! Love the droptines

Since you got meoptas 10s and El 12s I'd consider selling them and get the NL 12s. What unit?

Kodiak and Davis tents are the 2 biggest names I think.

My first big buck and elk... Had a friend was hunting with and he poked a buck. We searched all over trying to find it eventually gave up. Him and a buddy went out the day before he was to check in to jail for a 30 day dui sentence. When they got back to the truck they bumped a stud right there! He told me about in case I had a chance to get out, and I had been pondering this particular spot as it's somewhat of a pinch point. Fast forward a few days and only 3 days left of the otc Jan. Archery season. Decided I'd go out. Now I was still kinda green, I knew real big bucks did exist but never seen one (didn't know about real glassing). I decided anything with horns would receive an arrow. Ended up poking my biggest buck to date. I was in complete disbelief when I walked up on this deer. Used a new to his biz taxi on this buck and had it back before he got out of jail. He called me up and I was like dude come over to the house. He walked in and saw the mount, "son of a bitch!" He was pissed! Couple years later we set sights on elk. I didn't know at this point how the draw worked. I didn't put in for elk because I wanted to be "better" at hunting before drawing a tag. Dang, wish I knew then cuz I woulda had like 12 or more points. So we looked into otc tags. Of course I did all the homework and made calls to game cops in the areas I was looking at. Finally had some info to look at. After Google Earth homework I chose an area. Day one, we hike our asses off all morning. Dude is like "you got tp?" yeah here.... He wanders off clenching it in. Comes back and I'm like yo where's the tp? "I did something evil in the woods" like really man that was an entire fresh roll...wtf? So the hours drag on humping hills and hand glassing (still before I really knew how to glass). We get to our last hill to climb and finally get on top and he says "dude I am fucking done" the swamp butt had finally caught up with him due to an apparent improper wipe. I'm thinking dam we drove together and he wants to give up. Standing there pondering my situation I figure might as well glass the bottom of this draw. Wouldn't you know it? One lone solitary cow 100 yards away from her safe zone is standing down there feeding. Suddenly he's ready to hunt with his bow, I'm like are you fuckin nuts? This is a meat hunt and you wanna blow it with a bow? I agree to let him give chase. He makes a loud noisy decent as I watch the cow clime the ridge completely aware of his presence. I decide his turn was up. I took a standing shot with no rest at 180 yards and drill her. After the shot rings out I heard the loudest profanity my buddy let loose ever. In the end, my buddy had an itchy asshole and I got my first otc elk. I still look back and laugh how it all happened.

That is hands down the best story ever

That's a spicy meatball!

Ouch! That's painful man but I'm glad you recovered on what looks to be an absolute stud! Looks like he was way past his ears and was a shooter for sure. Maybe someone with a "wildlife viewing cam" could donate a picture for you for an accurate representation of what he was. Clearly a stud. You still doing the trapping thing full bore like you used to do?

Wow that sucks. I'm glad I didn't have any bear points. Feel bad for you guys that do.. Maybe game and fish will grow a sack and manage based on science instead of feelings.

It's a sign. I need to hunt a lot more I guess 😂

With or without beds 5k is a solid price. Especially if you wanna hunt with buddies just use cots. I'd buy it if I had 5k fosho!

I've never ever been checked when hunting. Fishing though a bunch of times..

Buncha noobs. One tag+white out=endless seasons

Dang that's got to be a 20' ceiling. Hope your new place has a magnificent new wall to make room for future endeavours!

Wow that is absolutely incredible. It looks like the grind paid off for you. Huge congratulations and very well done!
