That's a sheep of many life times. Congrats!!!!

Anyone going to the SCI show in Reno or the Western Hunting & Conservation Expo in Salt Lake City? I'm heading to Expo in SLC again this year. I love looking over all of the 400+ inch Elk that will be there. There is a outfitter that will be there that kills some huge Coues down in Mexico and will probably have some monsters there to show.

I agree, residents should get a majority of the tags in every state. I think NM needs to do away with the 12% of the tags going to Outfitters. But charging non-residents $3,000+ for the BHS tag isn't fair either. Just my two cents.

I second what ultramag said: #11 do not shoot your guns all day at camp, go to a range.

So this year tag holder, which is the same guy that got the monster in 3B earlier, got a 420 in 9 recently. It has a split 4th, extra eye guard and a cheater. Two four hundred plus class buls in one year, must be nice. I guess the drought isn't to bad.

I hope it remains like it is except for the 12's and 13's. To many non-residents (CA/UT) in the North Kabiab.

I had a 27 coues deer tag a couple of years ago, great unit for coues. Seen lots of deer and hunters even though there was only 25 tags. I quit hunting after some piece of crap let of the air in my tires for the second time, I guess they did not like the AZ lic plates.

Did they catch the piece of $hit that stole a couple of vehicles that they were following? Sad story..

Some friends of mine will never have a fire in camp when they are scouting, hunting or guiding and they usually never hunt around camp. They do not have a fire as they do not want the smell on them or their clothes. I on the other hand love to have a camp fire at night, have a drink, talk about the days events, etc... But I also take a shower every morning before i leave camp and change clothes daily. No matter how much I try to be scent free, and I do my best to be scent free, if you don't have the wind in your favor it doesn't matter what you smell like. I sometimes camp within a few miles from a area that i want to hunt incase it rains so i can walk to a good area right from camp, don't want to tear up the roads and make the land owners/ranchers mad like in New Mexico or even Arizona and the Elk bugle all night around camp with a camp fire going. Even had them move right in camp one time with a fire going and us setting around it.

Anyone know how much rain 7W, 8, 9, 10, 18 A/B have been getting? It's kind of late for horn growth but sure would help the rut if we could get a bunch of rain....

This is what i would be using: http://www.gilawildernesshunting.com/

Holy crap, I had no idea an eagle would kill something that big.

Looks great to me Scottyboy and I like the muzzlebreak, looks like a Magnaport. Do you know what the rifle weighs? I have been $aving up for a Ed Brown Savanna or a H-S Precision and how does your new rifle compare in price?

SW never has what I'm looking for, always out of stock. Max-1 camo is probably one of the most popular patterns and you think they would have short and long sleeve t-shirts in sizes other then medium. The staff is always very friendly. I can not imagine buy optics from anyone other then Arizona Outdoorsman.

My wife, dad and I went 0 for 9. Maybe next year our bad luck will end...

Can only one person check at a time??? I think a little bit of the millions that are spent for the tags should go towards improving their computer systems.

Pioneer, in Flagstaff, did my wife's elk a couple of years ago and did an excellent job. Don't know anything about Signature.

Hate the idea!!!

Coosefan; I live somewhat close to you and been wanting to head out there and look for some sheep, maybe this fall or winter.

Coosefan, Ever see any sheep out there?

I just got the XL. This is the first time owning anything other then a Mathews and the Hoyt Vectrix XL won my try out. Great Bow!

Great Pictures Jim....... I can not believe you got three cats in one tree. Tell Casey where those kittens are so he can try and get one before they are old enough to kill a deer.

So I'm curious, how many of you will be bowhunting deer and don't have an Elk tag during the archery Elk season this year if the commisson doesn't change the dates? I have an elk tag this year and hope that if the commission does change the dates that the archery deer hunters show a little consideration for the elk hunters considering that the fact how lucky it is to have an Elk tag!

That is a monster of a buck Josh, tell us more about that buck and thanks for posting pictures of it!!!

Any recommendations for a place to store a trailer in Williams, Seligman or Ashfork? I've used the KOA in Seligman before but I'm looking for other options.
