Good shooting. That top yote is a mangy sucker.

I don't know if I have ever been to a gas station that sells it down here. I know up in Idaho where I am from 85 is the regular low grade. I have the Silverado with the 6.2 and it was fine. But it was also only a few tanks of gas.

That is a great mount. Love the pose.

Dang that was a steal. I have the same rifle in right handed and love it. It shoots 140 grain berger vld's really well too.

There is always guys selling most of that stuff right here in the classifieds too.

That is awesome. Great job on the turkey. I was out this weekend on the Jr hunt and they were gobbling great, just hard to get them to come in.

I will be up in the youth camp at the north end of 23 in the Colcord camp ground this evening for the weekend. I hope to see a bunch of turkeys already taken by the time I get there.

I know glassing works. Because we have done it several times. Just not on purpose.

Just remember that even though it may be an entry level bow not very many years ago it was the top of the line bow. Technology is crazy. I usually buy a new bow every time I draw a bull tag. It has been 4 years now. I shoot the Hoyt Rampage and love it. When I get my next archery tag I will upgrade again.

I have a magazine in one of my stacks somewhere that did a test for what worked best for deer as far as different camo patterns and what they see. Granted this was several years ago (10 or so) but the best camo was a Hawaiian shirt that was red. Like others have said it is way overrated. Of course I wear Sitka gear so what do I know. It is the most comfortable hunting clothing I have ever owned. So I am happy.

I have had one of my bulls processed by the guys in Young. They do a great job and for a great price. The only thing is they will not mix any fat with the ground elk. So mine all ended up very very lean. There will be great bulls all the way through the unit. Good luck.

That sucker looks real. It would be cool to set him on your porch.

I have a buddy that lives off of Shea and Tatum that was walking the baby early in the morning. He heard a commotion in his neighbors yard and once he got close enough could see that it was two coyotes playing tug of war with a cat. He said that was the first coyotes he ever liked.

The info is right on the G and F website. There is a link that you can click on that explains how the draw works. It is under the hunting tab.

+1 on the G and F. My in-laws live in a retirement community that had tons of coyotes so they had G and F come in and relocate several of them. Of course now they have rabbits running everywhere.

You can also try Accuracy Speaks out at Usery Pass. They have done a couple muzzle breaks for me and have done great work.

I may have some elk left from a few years ago. I will be up in a couple weeks for the Jr turkey hunt. I will let you know for sure soon.

I know people first hand that put everyone in the family in for tags because there is no up front charge. Other than the piddly $13 fee. If grandma (who has never hunted in her life) draws a tag just sign it over the the grand kids. Now you charge the full fee up front it will slow down a bit. Maybe not a bunch for deer but when you start talking about elk and sheep that adds up. The way I look at it is if you don't have the money to pay up front you shouldn't be putting in at all.

I am going to say 122 even. Great buck!

Air Force is definitely the way to go. I am ex Air Force and loved it. It is amazing the careers that you can have because of serving your country. Congrats to your daughter.

If you were able to zoom in on my avatar you would see the follow up shot sticking out of the back of my bulls head. He was dead standing when I took the shot but he was still standing. Miss judged the distance a little and the arrow punched right through his skull. Definitely killed him though.

So I guess I need to start packing a hacksaw in my pack now. I think I will also keep bringing a back up rifle along.

I would be curious what access would be like. Several of the roads are closed for much of the winter due to the snow and the possibility of damage from driving on them. So there would be a bunch of archery hunters on top of each other in the areas that are accessible. Not that I would be against it.

bhuntin, if you decide to sell your Jim White head let me know. I would be interested in buying it.

If you ask my wife I am completely deaf. Of course when she is on the opposite side of the house trying to carry on a conversation what do you expect. But seriously if I am around restaurants or places with lots of back ground noise I do have a hard time hearing conversations. But get away from the noises and I can hear very well. I know there is a name for it but can't think of it right now. That is the other thing that goes. The memory.
