My wife and I had great trip to the Kaibab this year for her late tag. We hunted hard for a week in the low country and saw lots of good bucks and a few great ones. She was only a second or 2 late getting set up on a 190+, I guess they get that big by making the right moves. She was getting a little discouraged after missing the holiday with our daughters until she shot this buck at 150 yards with the .25-06. I kept telling her to keep her chin up and how fast your luck can change on a hunt, I think she sees it now. It was our first hunt up there and we would love to do it again someday.

We did not. I'm sure some were taken judging by the quality of bucks we ran into. My wife was having trouble getting the scope on them in the thick PJ though. More time on a rifle would help her on that. I take for granted the hours I spent shooting BB/pellet rifles as a kid. Hopefully all the time my daughters spend shooting their pink Red Ryder will pay off. We did see a bald eagle and I found a 25-35 case. Got me thinking about hunting the same area as folks a century ago

You are where I was a year ago. 10x slcs on my neck and 15x in the pack. Can't hand hold the 15x and when I did pull them out and spotted deer way out there, I wanted a better look at the deer before hiking all the way over to them. I sold both and got the 12x50 el and a used STS 80 HD spotter and am very happy. If I'm not trophy hunting I leave the spotter at home

Just got back from my buddies WT hunt and we watched a herd of 12 pigs eating mud. Thought they might be digging roots, but they were 80 yards out and I had 12x swaros and they were just eating mud. Ever seen this?

Here is a few photos of the bull I killed on my hunt. Passed 3 300" bulls in the first 30 minutes opening morning, but could hear the herd bull heading the other way. Put away the cow call and chased bugles after that. Finally got it done on day 5. They were going pretty good most mornings for a couple hours and occasionally in the evenings. My buddy did this euro mount for me that came out real nice.

No a few weeks ago. Hard to tell from photos but 42" wide between the G3s Middle pic was during the boiling process

You knew it wouldn't take long "We weren't paying much attention to the rich American guys paying tens of thousands of dollars to kill exotic, sometimes endangered, animals until a Minnesota dentist named Walter Palmer killed a lion named Cecil in Zimbabwe last month. Now officials in Zimbabwe say that another American rich guy, this time a Pittsburgh gynecologic oncologist and surgeon named Jan Seski also killed a lion, also under possibly suspicious circumstances. Because of the furor caused by this we've come to learn that roughly half of the 5,600 lions killed as trophies in the last decade or so were done in by wealthy Americans, and that lions are only one of dozens of species favored by big game hunters willing to pay enormous amounts of money to kill a rare and beautiful animal. This includes the sons of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump. The Trump sons apparently got a little attention a few years back when photographs surfaced showing Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump posing with some of their rare animals kills, including an elephant and a leopard. Trump Jr. answered critics on Twitter, saying, "In some parts its over populated. Bottom line with out hunters $ there wouldn't be much left of africa. Eco is nice but no $." Trophy hunters argue that killing lions and other magnificent beasts is actually an act of conservation and good for the countries in question. And while in some cases that may be true, it's far from a universal truth. Over the weekend Donald Trump issues a statement about his big game hunting sons that read: "My sons love to hunt. They are members of the NRA, very proudly. I am a big believer in the second amendment. My sons are hunters. Eric is a hunter. He puts it on a par with golf - ahead of golf. And my other son is a hunter. They are great marksmen, great shots. I like to play golf." The New York Post interviewed a big game hunter from Florida, a wealthy entrepreneur named John Martins, who proudly spoke of having killed a lion, among many other rare animals. He said in part, "Some people get excited when they shoot something. I don't get excited. I revere the animal. It's mixed emotion. I'm happy I took the life, but I revered the life of that ­animal also." He added, "Sitting down next to an African lion you've just taken is a very emotional thing. It's a terrific accomplishment for a hunter. It's a moment that you will never forget." What about us? Will we forget? There's a bill in the U.S. Senate, the "Cecil Act" (Conserving Ecosystems by Ceasing the Importation of Large Animal Trophies Act) that would make it illegal for trophy hunters to bring back parts of any species proposed or listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. In other words, there would be no heads or hides for the overcompensating guys with the large hunting rifles and the fat wallets to mount on the wall. However, lawmakers, particular Republicans, take a lot of money from trophy hunters like this and organizations that back them, like the National Rifle Association. To the NRA and its highly paid lobbyists, members of Congress are the prey, and the NRA's walls seem to be filled with the mounted heads of politicians. That's taken its toll on the animals. It's about time guys like the dentist, the doctors and the Trump boys became the endangered species."
