Non-Typical Solutions

Post card picture there.....cool picture.

Isn't Coachelle the place bugs bunny pops up at when he thought he was headed for Albuquerque?????

Why can't people just pick up their own dam trash.....that is the part I just don't get......really? Their houses must be just a mess if that is how they treat their own home. I quit going to Roosevelt lake after they put in all the new "improvements". Used to spend every Easter there soaking up the sun and fishing. Not anymore.....

Heck of a deal there way to pull it off!!!!!!!

Anybody have any experience hiking down into Supai? Thinking about trying to do that in the middle of October. I read quite a few reviews on the internet yesterday but was wondering if anybody on this site had given it a try. Looking for tips and pointers. Thanks, Jeff

Probably talking about that bridge between hunters and GF........just kidding....

Guess I missed that one.....everything is rare these days....

Great story and nice buck.....glad you made it in and out safely, can't imagine packing anything 11 miles and living to tell the story. I would have to opt out for the pack mule option.

That was a prairie dog over by Round Valley......be careful bringing that one up again......we got into all kind of trouble last time we started talking about agents and deeds done......bulls being retrieved without the tag holder present...shhhhhhhhhhhh..........

Going out to take care of chickens late one night......as I approach the coop I can tell from the noise that something not right is going on inside so I pan the door open really slow with my flashlight pointed to the floor.....i figured a fox or a skunk or something was in there stirring things up. Nothing on the floor but the chickens are still going crazy so I start scanning the lower roosts....nothing......get up to the 3rd rung and sitting there calm as can be eyes wide open a huge barn owl......scared the poop right out of me. That was not fun trying to get that guy out of the coop.......hawks and owls are awesome animals til they start messing with the chickens........

Beary funny thread..........go hunt, be prepared and don't worry.....and ponder that age old question....does a bear poop in the woods??? Good luck out there.

Just for the record....is this what we are talking about???

Great information I knew I would be able to get some good stuff from this site, you guys are always willing to share your experiences. Now I have to admit....this was a last minute idea that just blew up on me.....no reservations are available for the weekend we had open....so it looks like wait til next year and make plans alot earlier. Dang and I had gotten pretty pumped about going down there in a month. Thanks again.....

Don't get me wrong.....I love getting out there all alone, my success rate goes way up there in comparison to when I have a 10 year old or 17 year old I am trying to help, I am horrible when it comes to trying to help my kids. Recently my kids have had more success when I dump them out so they can be on their own. Course.....not my 10 year old....but my teenager has come to appreciate being "out hunting on his own"......and the pleasures that can bring. Solitude, reflection time and that holy hannah there is the animal I am actually hunting.........man I love being out in the woods.

For me there is hunting alone and then hunting really alone. I love having camp with family and friends with all having plans of different directions and we split off alone. I enjoy the evenings and being there to help each other. But......there is alot to be said for the gratification of going out there.....alone......and gettin er done. One of my favorite things though is getting me and my wife stuck on a ridge having her royally pissed at me......and then all the sudden jumping a buck and watching her have a blast trying to knock it down......hunting is just one of those fun things that is about alot more than just the kill.......

I have 4 boys....each one of them different so what worked for one didn't work for another. They all four got swats somewhere along the way. Even though I wanted all of them to hunt.....they don't all hunt. Even though I wanted them all to enjoy sports in school....they didn't. I grew up playing basketball and I wanted basketball players.....they wrestled. And the thing about when you take them fishing......and leaving your gear behind......great advice there. Don't ever take them for granted cause one day they are gone doing their own thing. Congratulations on the expectant girl and best of luck to you and your family.

I wanted to share one of my religious crafts that I have been giving to family and friends. I am not sure what other churches use consecrated oil for blessing of the sick but in the LDS church it is common practice. I took antler tips and epoxied the oil vial inside. It is a fun gift and pretty easy to put together, I think they look pretty cool.

We don't even spend that much on educating our own kids......no common sense in the program. If they had the real deal, turned them loose and let the thrive on their own without all the hoopla........maybe a person could swallow it, but not with a fake dog and pony show to close roads and squelch hunting. No pun intended with the fake dog.....

So is that a 30" spread??? I by no means can judge deer or elk or anything else.....just wondering. Heck of a buck.....

LOL - I can hear it now. "holy moly... I can do this. Where did I put week one? Ok, there it is. We're good. Moving forward." I know what you're talking about and that's a truckload of willpower. Good on ya. Oh you should have seen the look on my wifes face......she is like really Jeff......honey maybe you better try some elevator music....

I am starting all over with step 1 on insanity, week 7 killed me so I am going to have to back off and try again. Haven't given up, just regrouping.....

So I got a lot of help from CWT members getting pictures for my video and I want up front to thank them for sending me hunting photos. I tried really hard to use every photo that was sent in, some I had a hard time with format. This video is just a tribute to the great animals that we get to hunt and those who spend time out there trying to out smart the wily critters. My love for the outdoors and the freedoms we enjoy getting to hunt, fish and getting away from the asphalt of life along with a song that I really like come together for some breathtaking shots of the animals we love to watch and pursue. I tried really hard to record the words but I stink at singing so I put the words with the music and you will just have to sing along. Thanks again to all contributors, if Chesney decides to record it I will have to share royalties:rolleyes:

Awesome looking typical bull there I love a nice looking typical. Congrats

I am not a big Darwin fan but here is a pretty good quote of his: "It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change."

I just had to bump this.......Seton Catholic with a potent offense getting ready to take the field against the Snowflake Lobos, looking for a great game that we can hopefully come out on top. Plus my buddy is out there looking for elk today so we truly have the best of two worlds boys of fall.......go get'm boys........
