Put 25 lbs on since rotator cup surgery 4 months ago and decided enough was enough. Joined pure finess, 6 weeks for $19, and been walking 2 miles every day since the first of July. Them 12 oz curls are my down fall but really trying to leg up.

My heart & prayers go out to all the friends and families of those killed in such a tragic accident. May God Bless!

Glad to share. That's why they put them up there. Here are links to a couple of older articles on the RM G&F site. This one is the article on Sergio Orozcos P&Y world record Coues. World-Record Coues Buck! This one is an article about the mulies CW member John Noble, his brother and his dad killed on the Strip. 3 Bulls Down, 3 Bucks To Go -TONY Tony........... this is the first I seen of these articles. They are amazing to say the least. Thanks Tony for sharing with us. venadoslayer....I won't touch that one. TJ

Yes Dad!

Now that is where I draw the line. Your chances are looking good for next year. Good luck!

I hear what you're sayin. Can't beat that time of year during the rut. Good luck on next year's tag and all your hunts to come.

Didn't know the two could be seperated.

In essence, a crossbow is a bow with a draw lock. It's just a lot shorter than a normal bow. -TONY I'm not one for words or explaining as well Tony but they said a draw lock on a compound bow. Sorry for that.

Rugerman...11BP wklman....8BP .... Arizona Guide....9BP azpackhorse....7 muledeerarea33....8BP That adds up to 43 elk hunts between the 5 of you guys. Here is my take and I'm not trying to rub salt in to a wound but either you are unlucky as he#@, don't pay attention to the odds, or it's rifle bull no matter what. Not all of you but certainly some of you would rather not hunt unless it was a bull tag. That is fine if that's what you want but I personally will take any hunt over not hunting at all. While all of you have spent not hunting elk I've been filling my memory bank with a whole lot of memories spent with family and friends that I wouldn't have had if I had been holding out for a 1%-5% draw tag. A trophy elk hunt means the world to some of you and that is what you like but to me it is all about the hunt, meat in the freezer, and memories galore. I've heard just about every excuse there is when it comes to why people don't want to burn there elk tag on an archery hunt but the one that gets me the most is,"I don't have time to hunt archery". First of all let me knock on wood...I've had at least 21 elk tags over the past 30 years or so that I can remember. I have had an archery tag every year since 1991, 17 tags straight, and some years I got to be picky and pass up dozens of bulls and went without but still have 10 archery filled tags out of 17 and a whole lot of memories to boot. So to answer your guestion rugerman, yes I would burn BP's for an archery tag. Each their own but the hunt means more to me than wanting to hang a trophy on the wall. It just might happen anyway to me before you draw your tag. I HOPE NOT! Good luck on your next year draw.

Here is a direct quote from G&F, "You can use a crossbow for elk and you can use a draw lock on your bow with a crossbow permit". That part doesn't sound right to me either. I'm just telling you what I was told.

So, I was right. It IS pics from the making of Deliverance - Part II SQUUEEELLL LIKE PIG BOY! YOU SURE GOTS A PURDY MOUF! Well, thank you!

Mike....thanks for making me famous and a WANTED man. Gino.....Stupid is as Stupid does...Bad on me for going along with it. Lance.....the shirt looks good. Mike will take a size medium, thank you! To set the record straight I would never mess with anyone's camera unless it was GH's. OK, I'm just kidding.

He probably lives along the rim country somewhere caus there ain't no stupid people in the flatland that I know of.

Good Maybe we can figure out who STUPID is I'll check out my camera pics as well. Looks familar!

Azshtr......thanks for blowing that picture of huntn coues up. Mike.......some friend? huntn coues.......shame on you! TJ

This is what we need more of. Getting the next generation involved should be mandatory by law. Thanks for sharing Thunderbolt. I sure like this kind of stuff on this site. TJ

Lance......I'm on your side on this one. People spend alot of time and money and don't need some off the wall bandit messing with other people's equipment. This guy needs to be brought to justice. GH.........you just let me know where your camera's are and I will sit on them with a vedio camera and put a stop to this nonsense. Stupid people.........take life a little more servious and quit trying to have some fun at someone else's expense.

It has some fine lines there that could be interpreded diiferently. This may or may not help but here is what I went thru last month at long discussion with G&F. I had rotator cup surgery April 5th and won't be able to shoot my bow by Nov. archery elk season. I was issued a crossbow permit because the key words in all of this is "90% impairment [of function] of one arm ". The arm has many functions of movement, therefore at this time they can't say that I might not have permanent disability in a certain function, as in movement in a particular direction. Now does any of that make since? I think I'm confused all over again but the bottom line in my case is I can hunt elk with the crossbow during my archery hunt and can purchase over the counter tags for Aug. deer and turkey as well and use it also. Tony........key word is [of function]. Keep me informed if you hear otherwise. Gino.........CHAMP permit R12-4-217 section C-2a. Has a disability or combination of disabilities that creates a minimum permanent impairment of function of [ or equivalent to] no less than 90%loss of function of one leg. Key word here is [or equivalent to]. I don't see how he could not be issued a CHAMP permit. He needs to be on that hunt. Good luck.

Welcome to the site Tanner. I had the priviledge of meeting your Dad a couple of times. He improved a couple of my favorite water tanks by having them dug out deeper. I understand you help out as well and I thank you both for your contribution to wildlife. Keep up the good work. I'll pass on the bino information and I hope you enjoy this site as much as I do. TJ

Good looking buck and picture.

This is a no brainer here. I purchased one last year and my wife still can't believe it's me.

Ya, and about 325# I've seen this dude around before. This guy is nothing but trouble. He sure could loose a # or two. He's like Big Foot, no clear pictures have ever been taken. He might be a smart one. I certainly would watch out for this one.

PM sent!

Tony.... you sucked me in to that one like a dumb old fish, Mike....I will take you up on carrying out my heart and liver for me caus that crossbow weighs a ton. It still scares me to look at it. I might try and shoot it in another month if all goes well.

Gino, No problem with this I think. All he has to do is go to GF and get a crossbow permit application and have his doctor sign it and then return it back to GF and they sign it right there on the spot. I just went thru this with my rotator cup and it sounds to me he is going to be worse off than me. There was no hassle with this at all. Another hunter I know just did the same thing. Good luck with this and I hope and pray he recovers from his injuries. TJ
