Non-Typical Solutions

Where vaults are required it has to fit inside the vault is the only thing so far I have run into. The local mortician told me the lid on mine opens the wrong direction according to what is "normal" but I told him I bet at that point in my life it wouldn't really matter to me. I built one for a nephews son couple of years back and that cemetery let me build the vault out of wood as well. Cemeteries are not all the same, some only allow fiberglass vaults and such. I guess the main thing is to check with the individual cemetery to make sure you are up to whatever their regulations are.

Some things to consider Wyguy.....you probably saved yourself a phone call to your dad or some other buddy who would have had to come pull you out Remember what field of interest you have and what you are going to do to change the way government works. That is probably how your brake line got busted......funny guy driving on rutted roads.......and hikin is better for you anyways. Good luck looking for antler, don't let the worlds problems drag your day down!!!

What they said....not this!!!! Sorry to hear about your spill that stinks.....good luck on recovery!

It's all about huntin....if you can't get a good book to read while you are hunting what good is hunting???? Obama has created more jobs than any other president in American history.......putting all us good citizens to work so we can afford to buy guns and hunt.....and read.......just have to wait longer to get a book is all......probably because of censorship on the books.....

I can give you results......no tags again for elk, antelope and sheep.....another year of just looking for antlers on the ground!!!!

Yes you can.... corn fed tenderloins!!! We have some tanks for bodies up here. My buddy shot a 3 1/2 yr old 130" 3 point management buck this year that weighed 268 gutted. I think that puts him over 300# on the hoof. Thing was a tank and not even the biggest bodied buck out there! I was thinkin it while I was writing it for sure.....good eating there.....

That is awesome.....can't beat cornfed antlers.......cool setup you have.

I would love to find an eastern whitetail antler and a moose antler......but like they say if you don't play you can't win and I have never been antler hunting where I could find either......bucket list for me!!! I bet in North Dakota those antlers are basically frozen and falling off right next to a corn field no less....that is pretty cool.

Instead of quads try this method out......

Glassing or boots on the ground....all depends on the terrain......some of the places we find antler there is no possible way to glass because it is so thick.....other areas glassing can produce but be prepared...are you going to go down there and get that antler that you glassed up.......... I love looking for antler.....but quad tracks do get me riled as well......

Thanks for the fresh air for the day......cool pics

Heck yeah...........nice job out there......nothing like getting your first coyote....hooked for life.

Heck of a great story.....congrats to a great father/daughters day.......

Had a similar incident up in unit 10 happen to me.......and it is great that you were able to get that gun back....kudos to those honest hard working people out there who have the dignity to treat others as they would like to be treated....great story.

TOAD is a good way to put it....congrats on a great buck thanks for sharing your story!!

Thanks wellhead and gmcbob.......tickets are in the mail, appreciate your contribution.

Most of you have met my son Cole through the years of hunting and stories I have posted. Cole and his sparing partner Wacey Wood are trying to raise money to go to Virginia Beach Nationals wrestling tournament in March. Both Cole and Wacey are Juniors this year and both having a great season. Cole is not the greatest wrestler by any means but he really wants to go to this tournament. We have two fund raising projects we are doing right now. Dave Wood BBQ Feb. 15 at the high school cafeteria here in Snowflake. $5.00 for a BBQ sandwich, 5-8pm. Also a Ruger 10/22 raffle: 1 ticket $1.00 6 tickets $5.00 10 tickets $7.00 15 tickets $8.00 25 tickets $20.00 If you are interested in buying tickets for the raffle or the meal just send a check made out to Cole Mortensen PO 617 Snowflake, Az 85937 We will send half the ticket to you and the other half in the draw pot. You don't have to be present to win. Drawing will be held at the BBQ on the 17th of Feb. I do have a paypal if that works better for you, jwmortensen1960@gmail.com Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Here is a photo running a chainsaw on one of his opponents. Thanks in advance. Jeff. I finally got this to upload to youtube, just a quick summary of Cole's season, I couldn't figure out how to get legal music with it so it is no sound boring.

Between the thieves and government sure is hard to make it all work these days. Good luck on recovery.......

Bump for one more look. I added a little highlight video to the original post. Thanks again for taking the time to check it out and helping Cole in this effort. Jeff

Those pigs are funny....and those bucks are some pretty big pig bucks too.....

Didn't you read that other article.....when we hunt coyote we push them onto ranches and cause trouble for the ranchers!!! How did Tucson become such a political left bed??? I know some really great people from down there and I always ask them how they keep voting in the politicians that they get.......right must be the minority there......

Cool story........

Great info right there....to think we are responsible for pushing coyotes on to the ranches.......heaven forbid if the coyotes willingly went on to the ranches to feed on newborn calves.....

Don't get to hung up with it......it is just a fund raiser. Thanks for looking and giving it a whirl!!!

I am going to give them my phone number for next time......give me a cut of the bowl proceeds and I will make that play call for them....small fee for the ring
