Apparently W.O.T. needs to invest in some security and alarms! I had a truck stolen years ago and it isn't fun dealing with it. Good luck getting it back in one piece.

It goes all the way through. I started hunting 23 about 15 years ago and find new areas every year. Like others have said you can find coues all the way through the unit along with muleys and elk. But there are areas that get pounded with other hunting pressure. And for the most part they are the areas on the G and F website. I don't think anyone is going to give names of mountains or roads on the site but take the 288 and try taking the roads off to the east and the west as you go.

I have a pair of wolverines that I got at Sportsmans about 2 years ago that have held up really well for me. I am a home inspector so I am on roofs and crawling around attics everyday. But I am probably not as hard on mine as some construction type guys will be. You will probably get a bunch of different responses and it will come down to you going with what fits and meets your needs.

If that is a buck that you have taken in your avatar I wouldn't loose sleep over not shooting this buck. Although that one will be tough to beat. I hunted Idaho and down south this year and didn't shoot anything on either hunts and don't have any regrets whatsoever. Just never saw anything that I wanted to shoot.

Rifle or shotgun- 1 bull, 3 mule deer, 4 coues deer, 2 bobcats, and 1 turkey Archery or handgun- 1 bull, 1 mule deer, 2 javelina

Great pictures. The muscles on the ram are incredible.

That is a sweet buck.

Someone else said this earlier but my glass seat. A nice pad makes everything else much nicer. Of course that is behind all the normal answers.

I have the Benelli Nova and wish it did that. Mine is the opposite. Sometimes I have a hard time getting it to cycle.

I have the same pack and the nice thing is I can pull my rifle out of the scabbard without taking the pack off. Apparently it is a popular pack with as many people that that have it.

Wow that buck is giant in every way possible.

Congrats on an awesome buck. He will make a great mount.

Wow, now that was impressive. He was shooting both right and left handed.

I have had a couple J-13 calls over the years and have had great results. Shot one at 3 yds archery one year. I was on one knee and shot it as it ran by toward a friend that was calling. Not a minute later I called one in for my friend and he shot one in the same spot.

That picture with the binocs backwards would be my screensaver. That is great.

How were you able to date the shot gun? I am curious because I have one that I got from my grandpa from when he went on a mission to England and traveled Europe afterwards for a month and brought his home with him. I have tried to date it but everything I have looked at says they don't have records from before WWII because they were lost during the war. Thanks

You will see a bunch of guys posting them on here now for about $1200 making a few hundred quick bucks.

Oh I was hoping to get some good ideas. My wife posted on facebook that she wished I would let her know what I want for Christmas or she is going to punch me in the head. Well she got about 30 replies so far and it is mostly her friends saying they want to watch. Gun safe is #1 on my list. Can't think of much else that I really need or want.

Congrats Phil on a couple nice bucks. Way to stick with it and get it done.

Casey, I had the same hunt and saw lots of does and a hand full of spikes. Nothing else except a lion that I was trying to get a shot at but it slipped into the brush before I could get a shot. So good job on getting something with more than one point.

That is amazing. Those are two great bucks and what looks like an awesome hunt all around. Good job.

Great buck. Here is a picture of it flipped right side up.

Here is a picture I got of a lion the other day while down south hunting coues with my phone. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get set up and take a shot at it. It was at 650 yds when I first ranged it but it started moving off further away and it slipped into the brush. How much country do they regularly travel? It was watching some deer that were feeding below it about 50 yds towards me. I was hoping it would follow.

Great buck. I just got back from down south and saw nothing but does and spike after spike.

I will be down there and looking to camp with some others. Send me an message with your info and I will give you a call. I hunted the same hunt last year and we saw a few nice bucks but I was trying to get my daughter a shot.
