Post a fireguard at night, carry extra ammo and a drop weapon along with a CCW during the day and hunt on. I will not be hunting down there this year due to other reasons but have been hunting down there for a long, long time and will continue. FWIW.. We have had issues down there in the past both in the hills and in camp.

EAR brand Chameleon Acoustical ear plugs. As a safety manager in mining at work I push hearing protection all the time, I would not feel right if I did not follow my own advice. I use the brand and style listed above which lets in any sound up 85db and reduces anything above down to 85db. I can also plug my hunt radio into them to listen if my partner calls me on the radio and still hear all outside noise at safe levels. I use them all the time for hunting.

X 2 on the Ruger .... .72 grain 4350 IMR 200 grain Ballistic Silvertip Spitzer Great shooting weapon.

Sad to hear this... It will as the same in other areas of the state that have been paved bring in every AHole in the state there.

Congrats...... There is nothing like having a daughter in your life.

Saw it last night... a little hard to watch at times but a great movie none the less. RIP..

Shared on another site to help sell for you... Good luck with the sale.

I have a quick question.... I have always used Randy over at Archery HQ with great success and will continue when time allows. My question is in the interest of time right now getting some repairs made on my Hoyt. What are your thoughts on Bear Mountain for repairs? Just a string replacement. I trust Randy and George but I'm trying to get something done closer to the house today.

Robert or Randy it is then. Thanks that was what I was looking for, I will just have to make the time and the drive.

Brand new in the box unopened. CHRISTMAS IS COMING UP REAL QUICK!! I won this IPad this week and I really don't have a need for it. It is brand new in the box and never opened. The new price for it is as shown in the below link $499.00 + tax which would cost you around $540 to $550 depending on what city you were taxed in. I will donate anything above $440.00 to CWT from the sale of it. Give me a call on my cell number below if interested. I live in the Mesa area but will meet half way across town if needed with a confirmed sale. four eight zero 6 nine five 6 two 2 two Here is a link for you to see which one it is: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/...a91e020807en02 Regards, Shane

The price on the web-site has dropped so I'm doing the same. Will donate anything over $400.00 to CWT

Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends. RIP.

Bump...... Good luck on the sale.

Hey Dan have you looked at the VJC..... There is some items like you are looking for on there for sale. Don't know if they will trade but it's a thought. Shane

I have always felt first come first serve, that's the way it should be. I know I have come to a lot of my favorite camp spots only to find them being used. I just move on to another spot. If I really want a special spot then I leave a few days early to hopefully get it.......... To be completely truthful, I don't like them being towed exactly but I do feel it is wrong to lay claim to a spot you are not currently camping in.

That has been my plan for years and I'm with you as a leftover hunter in the unit of my normal choice down south if not drawn for unit 12. Good luck which ever way you go and scout, glass, glass, and glass into elevation in the southern units.

Nice pic..

Another thing that has not been mentioned yet for this unit. A 400+ yard shot is average in this unit so practice your long range shooting.

After reading another thread on here tonight about shutting hunts down and or what size rack to shoot or not shoot I thought I would share this. I wrote it a few years ago in response to a friend (Non Hunter) who questioned why I hunt and yet come home without an animal being bagged on every hunt. Please feel free to share your comments and or your own story. I’m not sure I may have already posted this short story on CWT before but I don’t remember if I did. Why do I hunt? I spend my time in the woods with friends that I consider family. From this I find a brotherhood that shares the same interest and respect of a heritage that has been passed down to us over the years. Everything I do on a hunt or before a hunt is intended on getting my animal but that is not my measure of a successful hunt. If it was I would have burned out on hunting years ago. It’s me the outdoors and the animal. This is one of the biggest reasons why I don’t use electronics on my hunt or trail cameras as I don’t consider that ethical hunting. But that is just my opinion only, respectfully to each their own. My measure of success on a hunt comes in many ways. Learning new things or new methods from people with different experience improves a person who is willing to open the mind. Sharing ideas and creating a solution to achieve a goal as a team builds character. This team is not built in the field but rather in the camp and then applied in the field individually by all members with the same shared goal. Of course it is the time in the outdoors finding out who we are and what we are made of. There is nothing like the smell of a cold crisp morning when the chill gets right down to your bones. That’s when you find out what you are made of. Do you have to stay there or can you go back to camp and sit around the nice warm fire with a hot coffee. Sure you can, but then you will know what you’re made of. The feeling you get when you have an animal in your sights sometimes at long range and others when you can smell the animal 5 yards away from you. Your heart beating at rates you can’t achieve by running alone, even uphill over long distance. When it snorts and blows snot all over you but still can’t see you. Realizing depending on what you’re hunting it can turn on you and make you the hunted. Knowing that at any moment even the sound of your breath or a blink of your eyes can scare it away. That is when you realize you’re alive and you have a decision to make. Is this encounter worth the shot to call it a successful hunt? At times yes it’s a no brainer, but the hunt is over and the challenge is gone for that moment. I find my success or reason for hunting in what brought me there. My friends, my family, the camaraderie and an opportunity to know I’m alive with the freedom to live my life on my terms. In all honesty, I really could hunt with a Kodak camera and have a successful hunt. Shane Bloomfield Edit: BTW I do hold out for the (my) right animal on every hunt, and as a result I come home to tag soup on a lot of my hunts. But that is ok, my hunts are always a success . But I have no problem with those that shoot the first legal animal they see no matter what size it is. They have their reasons I'm sure and it is not mine to question it.
