Time to shine!

Congrats and enjoy!

Randy Rogers Band last night at the Yuma County Fair was off the charts!

^^^ This ^^^

Saw Eric Church earlier this week, probably will see Randy Rogers Band at the County Fair next week. Going to Red Rocks to see Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in May. Otherwise Old Crow Medicine Show, anything on Sirius XM Bluegrass station. Plenty of other obscure and random other stuff like punk from the eighties, reggae, metal. I like LOTS of music but if it has some twang I really like it!

I inherited one of those from my old man before he passed away. Some things just don't have price, that rifle being one of those.

I was there! To each his own is right. If we all liked the same music this world would suck. As far as the boy band comment goes, that is just plain ridiculous!

Congrats to all that drew a tag! 7W Early Archery Bull Elk for me!

12x14 Davis Tent for cold or more than a week, family dome style tent from Cabelas otherwise works great for my family of 5. Davis Tent is where its at! I also don't understand the infatuation with the Chinese copy of the Original Made in USA Springbar Tent. Maybe its just me but I would much rather spend the extra $50 or $100 or whatever and get something Made in Utah! Rant over!

Two hits yesterday on my card! One is for one of the boys youth hunt for antlerless elk either 23 or 3. The other is my wife general antlerless 23 or early archery bull for me in either 7W or 4A. Amanda got drawn last year and I have five points so I think it might be me but who knows!

Went on a half day trip with a bunch of my cousins and friends for my cousin Joe's bachelor party this past Saturday. Water was cold and the fishing was slow. Slow pick of bottom critters was all that was had. I boated 6 fish I think. First was an ocean whitefish that was an inch short. Then a treefish which was a keeper. A mini ackeral was next followed by a tiny rockfish that was too small for bait. On the last stop I switch to the other side to deal with the current and got two more keepers on the next two drops! One was an olive rockfish and the other was a gopher bass. I had never caught any of these fish before other than mackeral so that was kinda cool. A few short ling cod were caught and returned along with a few decent size vermillion rockfish. One sand bass, and one good size sculpin were caught too. Other than that is was pretty slow. Probably outfished everyone else two to one so that was an ego boost, LOL! More than that it was a great time fishing with my cousins! Captain Fred Huber was running the boat and his deckhand David was helping us out. They did a heck of a job as usual. Always have fun fishing with Fred and his partner Steve on the boats from Point Loma Sportfishing!

You know now that you mention it Ed I think you are right! That's what they said though but I have no idea why! Nothing really pic worthy, sorry!

What a rip off! Better kill every single sow and piglet or they are just wasting gas and ammo.

Congratulations Mike!

Outstanding!

WAY nice! Congratulations!

Fellow Coueswhitetail.com members: After contemplating the enormous sacrifice that the tag donor made in giving up his sheep permit, several of us feel compelled to help him receive a token of gratitude. What better way to do this than to present him a set of replica horns from the ram that was killed with the tag he donated. AES, the tag donor and the hunter are all on board, so now all that is left to do is to collect the funds and get the work started. I am happy to collect the funds and start off the donations with the first $50 and see where things go from there. I am hoping others are willing to contribute as well. All funds collected over and above the amount necessary will be donated directly to the Hunt for Heroes program. Please send me a PM if you want to donate. Using Paypal would be a good way to track this ($25, $50, $75, $100). Please note that this is solely a Coueswhitetail.com effort. Happy New Year and Best of Luck in the drawings this coming year!

I live to hunt and hunt to live. I like big critters as much as the next guy but I like a full freezer and wild game on my table even better!

What an incredible blessing our Lord has blessed your family with! Best wishes to you and yours Mike! Wonderful news!

Someone has come forward and is willing to do the replica horns for free. We will give them a shout out when the appropriate time comes. There may still be some shipping costs. For now we are holding off on collecting donations but I highly encourage everyone interested in helping out to stay tuned.

The replica horns have been donated!

Got a set donated!

That last post is total nonsense. I can tell you if left to the Feds they would all be dead. Region 4 personnel brought them back from 21 animals to where they are now. They are involved and have been involved since listing genius.

Tim where did the non paying hunter kill the cow on the hunt you were on? Also what blinds did your inlaws hunt?
