    Bucks vs does

    I would move to where you were seeing bucks and if they're not there look somewhere else. The is not unit specific advice. But if all you're seeing is does this time of year the best you're gonna see is a small buck that's still hanging with mama. Try a different spot you might find a honey hole. Either way your hunting and should have a good time. Good luck

    NUT JOB

    The 2nd amendment was put in place as a means for the people (general public) to keep the government in check. How can the people keep the government in check if their arms are slingshots and the government has full autos? Firearms have evolved but so have the people that run this country. Making bump Stocks illegal will change nothing. Criminals will have them law abiding citizens won't. Last time I checked mass murder was illegal too. It still happens weather it's with a firearm a bomb or a car

    I disagree, I think it would be giving up a small freedom but a freedom nonetheless. I personally don't have a want or a need for a bump fire Stock,or a full auto for that matter but I do think that if a law abiding citizen wants one he should be able to have it. There's no practical need for a Ferrari but we can have those. Almost 3 times as many people in the U.S. are killed by cars every year then killed by guns. Should we outlaw cars? Maybe outlaw cars that go over 50mph or 100 miles on a tank of gas?

    Elk Heart

    Heart and liver both delicious. My favorite and how I grew up eating it is cut up with spuds and onions a few spices and cooked in a Dutch oven.

    Opinions/help with my stepson

    Okay so this is my first post that I created night believe. I'm just looking for opinions and advice. Here's my situation I'm a step-dad, the real dad is in the picture and takes him on weekends (which I think is good) but his real dad is unable to and just not a hunter. My stepson seems to like to hunt hrs killed a cow, a whitetail and a javalina. Seemed to have fun and all of those hunts as well as dove hunts. He has a jr deer tag this year along with his older cousin (my stepson is 13 ) last weekend he was all for scouting but we ended up shooting instead. That was Saturday, I scouted for his hunt on Sunday and found a six buck bachelor heard with 2 90 inchers and possibly a studd 4x4. I showed him pictures when he got back from his real dad's for the weekend thinking excitement would set in. Today I ask if he wants to scout on Saturday morning and he's like no I want to stay home...... I told him ... so you just want to go pull the trigger and let someone else do the work? Then I told him that I was glad he was able to tell me he didn't want to go because if he doesn't want to be there is really don't want him there because that's no fun for anyone. I'm still going scouting and taking him hunting and hoping he is successful but I'm frustrated because when I was in his position no way would I turn down an opportunity to be in the hills. I know he's not me but what do I do with this? His cousin is all in he'd be there in a heartbeat but logistics don't allow him to be there on every scouting trip. I feel like my stepson only hunts because I like it and his cousin likes it. Dad opinions are super appreciated I'm kinda new to the dad thing and like I said frustrated, why would he want to go last weekend but not this weekend after I showed him good buck pics and this is the weekend before the hunt?

    Opinions/help with my stepson

    So my scouting plans have changed based on some of the responses on here. Tomorrow the plan is to shoot. The boys choice, as well as the time. we'll leave (8 am) not what I would pick, but not a bad time. I'm still scouting with his cousin on Sunday. Anyway if anyone is at the 3 points range tomorrow and wants to chat we'll be there from about 9 to whenever (an hour or 2) starting at 100 and hopefully pushing out to 200. I'll be in a white tacoma

    Unit 33 Road Conditions?

    The gap road got pretty hairy in a couple spots last yearand with all the rain this year I can't imagine it's any better. The jeep should make it in there but the Tahoe should stay in the parking lot. The gap will be a zoo as it is every year. I think you'd have better roads coming in through oracle or heading over to reddington. Of course if you're set on hunting the gap you can always camp in the parking lot

    Yeah video games are the devil! Super hard to compete with electronics. I have to compromise in that department.

    Opinions/help with my stepson

    Well said. I think I'll try that approach. Kinda give him my advise but let him make the decision. I really like the idea of letting him decide where to hunt for two reasons. First I think it will give him a sense of accomplishment on picking the spot and second he might pick areas that I would overlook.

    Opinions/help with my stepson

    Good feedback. Bottom line is it needs to be fun for him and I get that. I guess the fun came naturally for me. I want him to have fun but also learn how to speak his mind (which was not going scouting this weekend) cool, I gave him kudos for that. So I guess even though at this point he's not who I was, when I was his age atleast he can tell me I don't want to go scouting. I'm grateful for that actually because even if he never wants to go to the desert again (which I seriously doubt he loves shooting and quads and all that) atleast I know he's learning how to stand up for what he wants. Learning to use his voice and have a backbone

    I really appreciate the feedback guys, I was pretty frustrated this afternoon even though I realize it is what it is and it may take time to swing one way or the other. I guess I just needed vent and see what others though or what others would do being more experienced being teen dad's
