Don't let this distract you from the the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.

I havent been to cottonwood for a while but I love roundabouts. If Americans were smart enough to use them they work incredibly well. Maintain traffic flow much better and reduce accidents as well as the severity of accidents. Watched an old lady come to a full stop at one the other day and then go left on it into traffic to take a left. Cant fix stupid.

Wow!!! Dream bull!! I am so jealous!!! I had the same hunt last year and sat in a blind the entire time and never took the safety off!! Congrats on an incredible bull!!

Seriously though. Post a price.

That could be where it killed it at. From the way the judges ruling looks it sounds like it was killed right under those power lines in the picture.

I wanna make sure they shoot good first. Ordered 200 in case they shoot great and then I cant find them again. Figured I could sell them if the rifle doesnt like them. Picked up some 180 VLDs, 175 LR accubonds, and 168 LRTTSX. Also found 7 boxes of loaded ammo at a little gun shop nearby. $60 for 20. They are loaded with 168gr nosler target bullets but I think Ill either shoot them all or pull them just for the brass. Cant find any 28 nosler anywhere so I figured this is as good as I can get and cheaper then buying brass.

Congrats!! I burned 10 pts last year and didnt get anything this year.

Thanks! Got some ordered.

Just a little update. I called proof research a couple days ago to see if they happened to have any rifles that were pre built and ready to go. He said hed look around. Got a call back yesterday and they have a demo 28 nosler with Stiller action and 26 barrel plus brake (exactly what I would have ordered anyhow!) for a screaming good deal. Weighs 6pounds 4 ounces. Should be a mean machine for goats and hopefully in the future a sheep hunt or two. Just ordered dies and some 26 Nosler Brass (per Caseys suggestion on another thread). Im gonna top it with a Marching 2.5-25 that I ordered for a different rifle thats still at the smith. Should make for about as light a rifle as a guy can get and still be able to stretch it to 1000 yards if needed. Anyone know where I can get some 195 Bergers?

Congrats! I drew 3 16. Its down along Yellowstone. Some pretty rough stuff! I wish I knew something about moose up that way but I dont. I hate to say it but I drew mt moose last year too but the unit I drew was kind of a dud. I had 401. Killed a 32 bull and the biologist said it was as big as hes ever heard of in there. I gusss theres only 15 moose in there. The 100 units have way more moose in them and you should have a good hunt!

Thanks for all the replies!! Ive got an email in to Proof research as it sounds like they have a few guns ready to go for sale. Im gonna start there and then if that falls through look into the Christensen and kimbers. Im thinking something in the 6.5-28 range. Bigger bore as I would like it to not only be light but be capable of a longer shot as well. Leaning towards a .28 nosler since if I ever go on a sheep hunt in NWT or Alaska I could combo it with a moose so Id like something that could handle them all. Ill be sure to keep everyone posted on the progress. I got some really good info from a guy today that gave me some great starting points.

Thanks for all the replys! Ill look into the Christensen arms guns a bit. Thanks for the offer Casey, Im probably gonna beat the heck out of a gun on this trip so Im gonna stay away from borrowing a gun but I appreciate it! It gives me an excuse to buy a new one anyhow!

Look into ND. Go pickup a PLOTS map (private land open to sportsman) and start walking. Youll find enough to keep you busy. SD is pretty leased up. Hard to find good land and most of the outfitters rely heavily on releases birds. They wont tell you but almost all of the pheasant hunting at large lodges jn SD are planted birds. If you wanna shoot planted birds do it in AZ and save the trip.

how many 18" goats you see?One on my wall. 😀 I think what hes getting at is that if you use that method youll probably go home empty handed in 99.9999999% of antelope units. You had arguably the best antelope hunt in the world. Your buck is incredible and most will go their lifetime without seeing one like that!!I was just bragging. let's see your buck more pictures please http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/49806-monster-goat-in-the-dirt-2014-antelope-hunt/page-8 Its a toad.

RonJeremied?

Id say the fishing is slow then.

Im in ND so Im no help, but a utility trailer wiring kit is about $20. Just cut the old wire up by the plug and use the old wire to pull the new wire through the frame. Hook the two lights up and plug it in and youre golden.

That looks awesome! My wife makes corned elk/deer/antelope roasts. Not sure the difference but I like the cured look on this!! I dont think corned is smoked. Everything is better smoked!

Did you have 23 deer pts too? Whatd you draw? What are chasing for elk?

Colorado is a fairly expensive state to build points in. $43 non refundable. You need to put in for 3 years to even get entered into the lottery for moose sheep and goat. Then its probably a 40-50 year wait to get a tag at this rate. If it is anti hunters putting in to take tags away from the hunters then I think theyre gonna have enough money sunk into it that they earned it!!!

Im on 350k with them and no issues.

Mine is a dog too! My trailer with my Can Am Defender comes in at roughly 3000lbs. Whenever I hit that hill and going up Ox Bow, truck struggles. Of course, it's a 2004 with that lowly 4 speed tranny, but I thought it would handle that weight. Apparently not. I'm now in search of a new truck! Haha I had a 2006 1/2 ton Chevy with a 5.3. Hated that pickup. It literally couldnt carry itself up a parking garage. So happy to see that think go down the road. Swore off gas pickups after that one. Until I test drove a ford ecoboost. You cant even compare a non turbo gas to a turbo gas. I guess it would be like comparing an old 6.5 Chevy non turbo diesel to a new duramax.

I would say its more the upfront costs and the fixes that kill you then the maintenance. Yes oil changes are more expensive but thats not huge. I buy a new F150 eco boost max tow every two years. I put 99500 miles on them and then trade. The last one I got was $35200 off the lot. A comparable diesel woulda been just shy of $50,000. Thats almost $15,000 difference. If I trade every two years thats $7500 a year. I got ostracized on here for saying I spend $2000 a year on out of state tag applications as being a rich guy, I would say that anyone who owns a diesel spends far far more then that just to listen to it hum. Dont get me wrong there are people out there who truly need them, but I would say 99% if diesel owners dont. I pull probably 10,000 miles a year with mine. I farm part time so its anythkng from combine headers to seed wagons (15,000#) to my camper, but in my opinion I still dont pull enough to justify an extra $7500/yr in cost. If you break something on a diesel its gonna be $5-10k for literally anything in them. I see these guys talking about this motor or that and the say 6.4L is great you just have to do this delete and that bulletproofing. If Im gonna spend $50k for a pickup I better not have to take it to some aftermarket dude with a flat brim hat to spend another $10k to make it work. Thats my 2 cents on diesel!!! As my uncle (a lifetime mechanic) used to say. The three Ts of diesel: Trucks Tractors and Trains! (Dont get me started on pickup vs truck, we are referring to pickups here. Trucks have more then two axles.

I would look hard at a 1/2 ton Ford ecoboost. You can get the max tow package on them and they will do 90% what a 3/4ton diesel will do but do the day to day stuff much better. I just pulled my 11,000 pound corn planter on a flatbed from one farm to another (280 miles). 15,000# load total and it worked just fine. Set the cruise at 80 on the interstate and it kept right up. They love gas when pulling but get really good mileage when not. I get 21-24mpg if I keep it around 65-70. If youre set on the dodge get a diesel, I have a little experience with Hemis and its all bad.
