Let's see some pictures. This was an awesome thread. I was thinking of taking the day off Friday if it came to it but no need now. Congrats to the hunting and everyone that helped.

I had my company Christmas dinner at Rodizio Grill last week and left there stuffed. It is the Brazilian style restaurant where they bring you all the meats on a spit and carve off what you want. And the best thing is it is only $29 per person. I am pretty sure that they just opened not long ago. Excellent food and service. Someone else mentioned the Angry Crab. Really liked that too.

Wow, that really sucks. I have been very fortunate that I haven't had any taxidermy horror stories. I think there are enough people out there and few enough of them that even when they get bad reviews like this they will still get business. And without any organization to watch over them they don't have to be accountable for anything or anyone.

Nice bear. I assume that is the bear from your avatar.

I think with Javelina it is a cycle. They populate way faster than deer and elk do. So the numbers will take off and get out of control in a short time. So the multiple tags come into play for a while until the numbers are brought back down some. Just my opinion anyway.

Congratulations on a great hunt and buck. That is pretty impressive considering you have never stepped foot in the unit or seen a Coues deer before.

This was a pretty laid back Christmas this year. We are building a new home and sort of made limits on spending for each other. Of course I didn't follow the limits at all. And my daughters are both in their late teens, early 20s. So we are going to have to wait for hopefully at least a few years before they have kids for us to start spoiling.

I love the title. That is what I call every hunt that I go on and don't kill anything. Some of them cow hunts are the hardest hunts in the state.

That is a great price for this scope. I have the exact scope on one of my rifles and really like it.

Great looking rifle. I don't think I would dip it either.

Ouch. That almost happened to me last year on the Kaibab. You have to wonder how that would play out in the future if it ever happened again. Not sure he would be so quick to come forward.

I have several pigeons that look like that. Maybe it is a hybrid?

That is about as good as it gets for a typical. I would have shot that buck the first minute of the first morning. Congrats on a great buck.

Some people are like that Zach. Just learn to ignore them and move on.

That looks awesome. A guy that works for me has a son out right now in Chicago on a Spanish speaking mission. Be thankful where your son is. Hopefully you guys get to Skype instead of just talking on the phone.

Ahhhh, so we probably wont see Madglasser around much will we?

Sounds like you had a great vacation. I don't think there is anything quite like Yellowstone. And congrats on shooting archery and rifle bucks on the same hunt. Not many people can say that. You should have gotten a picture of it.

So did someone kill the ram? And is there an actual score now? Not sure if I missed something between the two posts.

I wonder if a doe decoy would work with some doe in estrus stray. I haven't had the opportunity to hunt during the rut but it seems like it possibly could pull something in.

Congrats on a great buck. Hunted a ranch in Mexico a few years ago that had a bunch of bucks with racks like that. They went straight up like a V.

I do that every day of my life. But the nice thing is if it is something nice it will be like Christmas randomly throughout the year when you stumble across it.

Awesom. Congrats to your dad. Nice buck to top it off.

That is crazy. Never would have guessed it if I didn't see the pictures.

If I remember correctly Ernesto here on the sight also has one on one of his rifles. I am pretty sure he really likes it.

As the title says I am wondering if this is safe. I have a custom caliber rifle that has a 2 year wait for brass. But when I called them they told me I could buy the .284 brass and resize it to .308. The brass is identical with the exception of being necked down. I am curious if this is safe and what it will do to the life of the brass. Thanks for any insight.
