Yep, awesome time of the year. My family went to Big Lake last week and they were bugling pretty good at night.

If nothing else I have learned a lot from this post. I sucks that we have to be so security minded these days. I have a brother up in Idaho that works for a gun stock making company so he has tons of hand guns and rifles. He has a safe that takes at least 4 or 5 people to move (I know this first hand). He has come home once and found it in the living room next to the front door and another time in the driveway. Luckily for him it is so heavy that the idiots were not prepared. I sure hope something turns up for you.

I currently have the Minox 12X56's and am planning on buying the Vorteq Kiababs. So I might be interested in selling mine. I would give you a really good deal if your interested. I just want to step up the 15 power binoculars.

Great looking bucks. The pears look nice and ripe where ever that is. Any bears around?

Funny post. I have seen some interesting things over the years. All colors and shapes. One of our dogs used to eat hair. That always made for a few laughs. He would chase his butt around trying to get the cling-ons.

Funny, I thought it was my computer or something. But something good did happen because of it. I read Amanda's story about the buck in her avatar. Don't think I have ever read the stories before. Good story and nice buck.

I am Signal Butte and Baseline. What subdivision you moving into? Santa Rita? Welcome to the neighborhood.

And there you have it.

I personally shoot the patriot but have a couple friends that shoot the warbird. I will talk to them and find out what they are loading and what their groupings are. I would imagine that it is not any better than what you are getting.

Is that $75 for both or each?

Sold pending funds.

I was lucky enough to win a rifle at the ADA banquet a few weeks ago. It is a Weatherby Vanguard 300 Win Mag. I don't really have a use for it so I might as well sell it to help pay for the glass I want to buy. The price on the box says $499.99 but I will take $400. You can PM me if interested.

Guys, if anyone is still interested it is still for sale. My buddy that was going to buy it fell through. So I will take $375 for it. The cheapest I have seen it is $429 + tax.

The thing that cracks me up is people that call the G&F office asking when they are going to be out. This happens every single year and no one ever learns. They have to be laughing their rears off telling you guys all kinds of crap. Someone said they were going to be out late next week. Well I have had my results for several hours now. I guess you won't believe them again. Oh wait, yes you will.

Well I drew a unit 23 early cwt tag. I pretty much knew I was going to draw with 3 pts but you always get that nervous feeling waiting for the draw. Now I get to scout for my 23 bull with a rifle and shoot a buck if I see one.

Nice pictures. That 2nd to last bull is sticking his tongue out at you.

I have hunted the unit a couple times for muleys also but have seen some nice coues. You can also send me an email if you would like. We hiked in about a mile off a main road and found an incredible place.

I say string em up! Great looking bear by the way.

I like that last one to. Wouldn't mind seeing him on my hunt this fall.

I will have to agree with Daryl on this one. I never check until I log on to CWT and see a post with about 30 replies that the results are out. And the funny thing is they have probably only been out for 30 minutes. Word spreads fast when they do finally come out.

Elkster, I have 2 other interested buyers. I will let you know what they offer.

That is one of the best videos ever. My wife doesn't think so though.

Funny, I won the Grand Canyon flight for two from the silent auction. I opened the envelope when I got home and there are two certificates in there. One for two flights and one for two flights and the river float. So I will have to talk to him and see if both were supposed to be included. I am really looking forward to taking that. To bad I didn't put in for the Kaibab this year. Maybe he could be talked into making a detour. And I won a golf foursome at Las Colinas. Good times.

I had the early tag a few years ago and although we saw literally 100's of deer and several bucks better than what I ended up taking I was running out of time and this buck came out at the wrong time and place. He came out about 35 yds from where I was set up glassing. The G&F's main objective on the early hunt is to thin out the little bucks and that is mostly what is taken. So you will see tons of them. You just have to be patient and wait for something that is within your limits. Good luck on drawing a tag.

Even though the attendance was down this year it was still a good time. It is always nice to meet a few more CWT people and it definitely doesn't hurt when you walk away with a new rifle. Although it wasn't a Remington but a Weatherby Vanguard 300 win mag. Now I have to decide if I want to keep it or sell it for money for my binocs that I want to buy. Or at least put a dent into buying.
