Non-Typical Solutions

I'm not a cubs fan!! Hate going to the Dbacks game when they play the cubs its like playing an away game!!! Congrats to the cubs and ex-dback monterro!

Does this count? NO Flying W for me and my mulie tag 🙃

Very much a visual learner....would love to see the drawing in crayon !! Kind of a funny thread we let somebody who shot a mule deer with a whitetail tag get us all riled up nipping at each other like a bunch of rabid skunks. Who needs anti's we'll kill ourselves off!!!

Funny you ask.....I feel the same way about the unit we are headed too this weekend. We have never hunted the unit, we have done some pretty decent scouting and located some bucks, but that was not "during" the hunt. Even in units that I am very familiar with I prepare for the what if scenario..........somebody is on "my" glassing ridge where I have been getting trail cam pictures and I know there are good bucks there. That stuff just happens and you better have an a,b,c,d, and e list of where you want to try and go just in case!!! Personally due to work, I am going to go down in during the middle of the day opening morning......get camp set up and then go for a drive to see who is where and what and let the chips fall.........rather be doing that then working any day. Good luck to you and be safe!!!

Possible first identifying clue???

About 10 years ago I was about to leave for my first ever elk hunt when my live-in GF called to say good bye on her way from Cottonwood up to Flag. She's babbling away about her work day or something and stops in the middle and goes, "Ohh, my god! what's this guy doing?! Ohh my God!!..... " Static noises, weird sounds on the phone and the call disconnects. I must've called her back about 20 times before finally a stranger answered her phone and asks if it's Matt? And then tells me she'd just rolled her car into the ditch and they were loading her in the ambulance. Friggin big rig started swerving around in it's lane and than came over right on top of her as she was passing. she wen't off onto the shoulder to avoid making contact, lost control and ended up in the ditch. Trucker never stopped and was never tracked down. She got banged up a bit but ended up being fine. My elk hunt never recovered though... Man that's horrible can't imagine glad she is ok most don't survive when it comes to tangling with a big rig.These guys are outta control as much as I'm not for new laws and such they should be restricted to the right lane only, and run reduced speeds. IMO That there is a nightmare!!! Glad she survived!!!

Certainly can't complain about what a great job he did of posing for your cam....great setup you had to get all those pictures and thanks for getting the blood boiling......great looking buck!!

Up against the wall redneck mother.....plus a pretty long list of others........

I was thinking about this too.......or just make sure of the first shot!!! Good info, I liked the info about cleaning.....probably don't clean my guns nearly enough!!!

Speed......and if you can't monitor your own speed and abide by the speed limit then you end up over the rail!!! I find it funny that none of us like laws but how many of us abide by the speed limit? Why not monitor our own behavior instead of always relying on the "law" to fix the problem??? I play with the math on it all the time......like, what does 5mph faster than the speed limit really do for you as far as getting there faster?......5 minutes???5 miles? What I hate worse than anything is getting passed on a double line......that does put me into pissed off mode!!! Idiots!

Congratulations!!!

Whats your favorite David Allen Coe song......he had some dandies!!! We are a blessed people to be so lucky and may we continue to be able to enjoy the freedoms we have come accustomed to!!!

Only in my dreams a buck like that!!! Friday morning here we come!!!

D@M no wonder I can't shoot a group!!! Great info!!!

I have had this one for about 35 years! Time has definitely expanded the square inches exposed which means that it requires daily attention to keep it out of direct and indirect sunshine! No special controller needed usually a damp wash rag keeps it maintained! It has been known to overheat but other than that it can hold its own even with the newer models!!!

Any details on exactly where eastern AZ??? That is a cool picture and if you don't mind what is his name??

Looks like some bucks worth chasing......cool pics!!

Happy Birthday Donkey.......good luck with your hunt.......many more to come!!!

Tonga??? Cool picture

I cant see that far did you hit the target? Nice job good luck!

Casey...you had a way of telling the story that made it funny.....but it ain't so funny....nice buck!!!

Cool beans.......good luck out there I am comfortable up to 80 yards but I still have two weeks to work on it and have decided my weight ain't going anywhere!!!

Just like most of the left of center discussions we have on here.........new crop, new weeds every year!!! Solution still the same either a hoe or weed killer that kills everything else with it!!!
