Ho. Lee. Phug. That buck is insane!! 31” INSIDE!!! Unreal! What a perfect incredible buck and perfect incredible hunt!!

dang!! Bad timing on the snow. Country looks fairly open so maybe you’ll still turn him up.

That right there is the picture of a bada55. Shooting wild horse with a savage 99 .22 high power!

Holy crap!! That pic of the lion with an arrow in the face is epic! Good luck with the rest of the hunt!

How many dollars?

I don’t even own one of these yet I still want this for some reason!

Also we need to get a gofundme going to get you a new orange hat.

Congrats Adam!! Love the chocolate antlers on that buck!

Thank you Houston! That was exactly the type of info I was looking for!

If you don’t mind me asking Houston, is there a big cost savings between a guided hunt and a transported hunt? Did you notice any significant differences? I honestly prefer to not have a guide as I like to make my own decisions, that being said there’s a lot of logistics to those hunts and I know a guy needs some help with equipment and access to the animals. Packing, caping etc is something I also like to do myself, so that’s no issue. Did you compare and contrast boat vs float plane etc?

I’ve noticed up here when it gets really cold they just flat don’t move much. It’s a large expense of energy to stay warm when up and moving. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re out like crazy this afternoon.

Good luck!! Been a cold fall up this way. They should be rutting good though!

Great deal. I’ve got one of these and they’re the best thing short of a wall tent.

Crane is wonderful. Closest thing I can compare it to would be a real good beef sirloin. My wife and I don’t buy meat at the store so I do miss fatty meat like a ribeye now and then and a good plucked corn fed mallard or a blue wing teal are what I use to scratch that itch. Those specks in the pile are plucked up as well to go on the grill. They are my favorite goose by far. Snow geese are excellent but the skin is too thin and tears too easily to pluck them so the get breasted out for poppers or brats and jerky.

Cranes all bailed out of ND so we’ve switched gears to webfooted critters!!

Pretty much everything is open when the crane hunting is best. If you were trying to combo it I would come in mid October. Pheasant, grouse, partridge, duck and goose season would all be open then. You can hunt cranes closer to AZ in TX and OK I believe. I’m not sure how conducive that is to freelance hunting though as I’m guessing a lot of that land is leased so you’d be ahead to go with an outfitter. Waterfowl hunts are surprisingly in expensive though, I would guess between $150-300 a day for a guided hunt down there and that would get you access and decoys etc. might be cheaper to go that route then to drive all the way to ND. No one in ND cares about cranes so most landowners will let you hunt for them so access is fairly easy to get. The limit is 3 in ND and I believe the same all across the central flyway. If you go to Saskatchewan it’s 5. They’re dummer up there too!!

Send me a PM. If I’m not around to take you out in ND I can atleast line you up on some areas and you can use my deception decoys while you’re here.

We’ve been beatin up on them in ND. They’ve all bailed on us though as of last week

I killed my Idaho moose from a boat. There it just has to not be under power, which since we were floating a river is essentially never. Saw plenty I could have shot right from the boat but was off of it when I killed my bull coolest pack out ever though!! I really wanna hear the story behind this and a NM hunt!

Good deal! I think these are 870 clones aren’t they?

Looks really good. Did you split the carcass with bone in or fillet the breast and leg out with skin on?

You haven’t made a single comment on this thread that wasn’t direct at me. That little passive aggressive gem was just tossed out at no one in particular then I guess.

For giving me crap about assuming stuff you are stepping way out bud. Between my parents, myself and my two brothers we have a combined service in the army and air force of 81 years. I think my family has served enough to have the right to be “hawkish” if we want to. I’m gonna get back to scouting for ducks. You can smack talk my opinions on Trump all you want but don’t you dare disrespect my family’s military service. Don’t claim that wasn’t aimed at me either, being passive aggressive isn’t a characteristic of a man.

It’s not the news dude. It’s literally numbers. Numbers!!! They don’t make them up. Check the house minutes if you want to go straight to the source. It’s fairly obvious that I’m outnumbered here so I’m gonna roll along as I certainly don’t expect to change your guy’s attitudes on trump and he’s the only guy out there that can change mine of him. I’ll be stackin up ducks till Sunday so I’m out on this one. You guys can fire away if it makes you feel better. Watch the republican controlled senate for their response tomorrow or the next day but I’m guessing they’ll agree with me.

You guys literally don’t realize that you are the minority on this one do you? The dude is wrong. He shouldn’t have backed out and literally the entire house (including a vast majority of the republicans) and the senate ( working on the same thing as we speak) also don’t agree with him. I can see it’s obviously not ok to think outside the box on this forum, but truly look at this issue and the fact that his party is literally walking away from him right now and let me know how in the heck you think he’s gonna win the next election. My whole point with this is that the guy is literally burning down any chance he has of getting re-elected (any chance WE have of getting another republican in office) (yes I said WE, like it or it I’m in the same party as you guys even though I have different opinions then you do).
