anyone else draw the tag. cant wait for tommorow. i get to eat a ton and walk it all off so no worries. anyhow got a few decent bulls found. im not going for a monster on this hunt. anything 300+ better not walk in my sights because i want meat this year and have an itchy finger. ill post pics if i get one.

ya so i didnt get one this time. shouldnt have passed the 5x opening morning. had a good time hunting though. last day i messed up a stalk on a little rag 5 and that evening got on a little 3x that i let a buddy take. it was just as much fun letting him kill than if i did. been with another friend on this last hunt. put two down this evening, a little spike my buddy shot and his uncle also got one. its a tough hunt way to many tags and way to many elk getting taken. i think personal the G&F thinks more about managing the money than managing the game but thats just my two cents worth.

ya so the hunt didnt go as planned so far. went to the twin buttes and hunted the wilderness to try to get away from all the hunters. still a lot of hunters and not many elk. saw about 100 elk over the weekend with one good five the first day i passed on and a few smaller bulls, most were cows. now im hunting some lower country and going for anything with antlers. saw another five this evening but another hunter got him before i could.

What I am most thankful for is that God sent Jesus to die for all our sins. He is always there for us and we aren't always there for him but he stays true. second I'm thankful for the opportunity i have to punch cows in Young. i get to be in the woods everyday, doing what i love and seeing Gods beautiful creation. I am also thankful for the 22 north bull tag i got and being able to hunt with friends and family. im just thankful for anything and everything i have.

i got an email today about a thirty pint whitey taken back in wisconsin. the buck was taken by an amish boy with a homemade longbow. here are some of the pics

nice buck. hey you did good and redeemed yourself. one more thing. whys the horse go slippers and not irons.

+1 i hate them things too

here is the whole story Thirty point DEER Shot by an Amish boy with hand made long bow: This buck was taken by a 14 year old Amish boy near Dalton WI . He used a hand made long bow and made the killing shot by stalking the huge buck using corn shocks for cover. The boy's family would not allow him to pose with the trophy animal for pictures so a nearby neighbor, Willie Flacid posed and is also acting as spokesman for the Amish boy. According to Flacid, the Amish family has already received several offers from outdoor sporting companies to purchase the trophy. No dollar amount has been announced yet, but according to Flacid, 'the amount of money being offered is enough that no one would ever be hard up again.'

This ain't really hunt related but i need to upgrade trucks. bought a new gooseneck trailer without thinking much and my old truck ain't got the hitch. I'm looking for anything that has or can have a gooseneck hitch and is 1990 or newer. would prefer a cummins but whatever anyone has or knows of ill take a look at. please nothing 2000 or newer. i need to be able to beat it up a little and not worry to much. thanks a lot

some will take them from you. i was with an old judge and found a head. we hung it in a tree because it still had skin and hair. his wife slipped to the neighbor who call the boys in brown who mad us take them to the tree, then the elks body, and ended up confiscating the head because we didn't call before. wasn't a huge elk but a good five and im sure that officer has it on his wall now. but i've also packed out a whole head and had an officer stop and talk and not even mention the head. best thing is not to tell them.

nice buck. whats the score? 165 maybe around there

both nice bucks. congrats

wow great job on the buck. to bad about the ol gato

any bucks a good buck for your first and this is a better one.

good job on the buck and glad it was a successful hunt for you.

man what a cool buck. whats the base mass on him. hes a neat buck you dont see a whole lot like him. great job

man way good buck. i was lucky and drew a tag my first year and got a good buck but both cutters turn the same way. anyhow good job and great goat

wow good buck, even better story. good job

both good bucks. glad to hear Tom could get his too. sounds like a good hunt

ive also seen plenty of cats and no way is one 500. the two pics are of nice cats though. that first looks like an old worn out one. nice and fat but no way the thing would go 500. 200 maybe but not 500

nice fox but lose the rubber gloves next time

"Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for his friend." thank you to all who served and to those who died and may God bless those who are fighting anywhere overseas for us right now. and may God be with all there families as well.

wow thats dedication to the coues. i hope i can even get half that many. what'd make me happier is 41 gatos they're the ones that have my heart. anyhow congratulations and good luck on the future hunts.

the best way to train a pup is to hunt with someone who has good dogs and neck it to a good dog or if you dont want that good one slowed down neck two pups together. its harder for them to run off necked up like that. and when you get the lion let the pups chew on it a little so the next time they remember that and that will be there goal to get to chew on it. good luck

great pics and story. i love the ol gato. thats the best hunt in my book. but like you said its a lot of walking and running to keep up with the dogs. that hunt in my book is the best hunt. you work the pups you get to see the lion and even though it gets away, you know the dogs are locked on, you got to see the thing, and shes still in there for the next time. anyhow good job on the hunt
