It's good for those who are young and without physical limitation to realize that their condition is temporary. Good for us older folks to remember that it could always be worse. Hunt hard and enjoy the view. Thanks for the reminder.

Great job! Thanks for the write up and the pictures. Beautiful buck. Congratulations to all.

Forget salt! I'm ordering mortar from Lake Camposecco Mortar Company. If those ungulates will risk death for it, it's got to be good. The coues should hit it like crazy.

Awesome! Great hunt! Thanks for posting the story and all the pics.

Wow, nice bucks! My only question is: Is you trail cam in Texas? Great to have two tall tined bucks like that in one picture. Thanks for posting.

I understand the sentiment behind Prop 109. Nobody wants the citizenry whipped into a frenzy by anti-hunting groups and duped into making emotional wildlife management decisions based upon how “cute” the species is. We already have harmful laws like that at both the federal and state level (e.g. the federal feral horse and burro act and the mountain lion hunting ban in California). Management by referendum is generally not good management. But with that said, I have some reservations about this Constitutional Amendment. First, it requires us to trust our legislature which already has a habit of sweeping funds out of voter approved pots of money like the Heritage Fund. They’ve also threatened to take G&F money in the past and may do so in the future. Only an uproar kept them from doing so. The most recent example is also a legislature referred initiative to take ALL the money from Land Conservation Fund via Prop 301. Even if you trust the current legislature maybe in 25 years the legislature will not be so friendly to hunting and fishing. Second, I’m not sure what Subsection C is for. It says “Lawful public hunting and fishing shall be a preferred means of managing and controlling wildlife.” Does that mean we should manage species that we are trying to recover by hunting them? Or maybe it’s meant to protect against a less hunting and fishing friendly legislature future. If so, that’s probably good. I guess in the end I wish Prop 109 simply kept wildlife decisions out of the voting booth in a more straightforward way. But maybe it’s good enough. Don’t get me wrong, the mere fact that the HSUS opposes Prop 109 is probably a good enough reason to vote for it. I’m just saying that I’m not without concerns.

Looks good! Love the sounds.

We have the Nov. 26 elk hunt in 23. First rifle bull hunt for us. I called the Pleasant Valley Inn in Young. A nice lady told me they had no vacancies for that time frame. I also learned that everyone reserves rooms as soon as they find out they got drawn. I'm #3 or 4 on the waiting list. Lesson learned. PM me if you know of any other lodging options in or around Young. Thanks.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Coues 'n' Sheep, PM sent on renting the bunk house.

Great picture! Sounds like you and the boy had a awesome hunt. Thanks for sharing.

Like everyone said, great story. Thanks for posting the story of the hunt and the pics. Hiring a guide was a great idea for his hunt. Looks like you've got a huntin' buddy for life. Well worth any price. Congratulations.

Awesome pics! Thanks for posting.

That last buck is a whopper! Thanks for posting.

Awesome buck Mark! Clay, great job on that mount. You make them live forever. Thanks for posting.
