Isn't that a different boat listed above it? Yours is #2a isn't it? Good price! Should sell once people start heading up to the trout lakes.

Friends don't let friends drive gassers. Yeah I just can't stand them, cheaper, more reliable, you don't smell like a diesel refinery when you get done filling up, cheaper to work on, quieter, cheaper to fill up, cheaper oil changes, cheaper maintence, no injectors to CONSTANTLY replace. I just dont get why anyone would want to own a gas pickup! (Notice I said pickup because it has 2 axels and not 3 or 4 which is what a truck is I grew up on a farm/ranch and have been around diesels my whole life and they have their place, but that place isn't in a hunting pickup in my opinion. I know I'm gonna get flamed for this but in my opinion you are spending a minimum of $5k a year extra by owning a diesel when you factor in initial purchase price, maintenance and added cost of repairs. If you can afford that so that it sounds cool when you rattle along the trails then knock yourself out. I'd rather spend that money on draws, landowner tags and time off. Oh I forgot to add DEF. What the heck kind of racket is that joke?!?

Jesus. Bulletproofing, extended warranties, deletes, replacements. Ever think about buying another brand? Or better yet a gas?

They did a similar thing in ND to thin the elk herd in Theodore Roosevelt national park. They ended up doing a draw of hunters from the public. It wasn't as cool as it sounds. They pretty much used them as sharp shooters. They paired them in 2's and had helicopters locating the elk. The "hunters" then shot every single elk they could get, Bulls cows and calves. They left them lay and packers with horses came behind and boned them out and the meat was donated. The "hunters" didn't even get to approach them. I guess I like that they used public hunters instead of wasting money on sharp shooters, and to some people that might sound like fun, but for me that's not hunting and I wouldn't want part of it. They killed 8-900 elk in a week if I remember right. I'm guessing this "hunt" will follow a similar structure so don't anticipate a true draw tag and a hunt if they use public hunters. Could help if you were holding a tag across the fence that year but it's gonna make it really tough in the coming years after the slaughter. In my opinion this is not good for hunters.

Ted Cruz wants feds to dump all puclic land

It came that way and I agree with you haha. Not the most aesthetically pleasing break. Haha. Looks like one of the old poly chokes they used to put on shotguns

What the heck is growing on the end of the barrel? Cool gun otherwise. I've shot one and they have a smooooth action
-
I've shot the 125gr. Rage xbow head. They have slightly stiffer retention for the faster speeds. Never killed anything yet though!

There's always guys on here looking for reasonably priced double barrels and dropping $5-700 on some Turkish pos. This is ten times the gun as any of those mossberg, cz's, or stoeger's will ever be. Someone buy this so I don't have to. I have no use for a gun that doesn't hold three shells or more but this is a steal!

I totally thought this was gonna be a thread about a reality show where people repossess antlers they sold to buyers and didn't get paid for.

+1. Do you even own anything that isn't "top of the line" "coolest thing ever made?" It doesn't matter if it's a gun, Scope, Binos or accessories. If wilderness1 has something for sale I want it. I almost never can afford it, but I want it. -
Matched up a long lost set!!! ...Spoiler alert it's an eastern whitetail :(
yotebuster posted a topic in Shed Hunting
This weekend I was out scouting for sign to start shed hunting for eastern whitetails. I drove down a road I've literally been down 2000 times in the last two years and something caught my eye. The snow had packed the grass down enough to get the tips up above it an inch or so. I assumed it was a 2015 shed but when I got to it and drug it up out of the grass I instantly knew where it belonged! I killed this buck in sept of 2014 and had one of his sheds picked up brown in math of 2014. Assumed the other was long gone. Still can't figure out why or how the rodents left it alone. On cloud 9 about finding it!! The deer's right horn is the one I picked up this weekend. The left one with the long brow tine was found brown in March '14 Here is the buck when I killed him in sept '14 -

I didn't get a chance to score the new shed I picked up yet but he didn't grow a ton. He went from 4.5 to 5.5 when I killed him. I didn't have pics or shed the previous year so I don't know how much he jumped from 3.5-4.5. He scored 161 gross when I killed him which is bigger then I thought he would be. I figured mid 150's but that 10" brow on the one side kinda threw off my numbers a bit! -

Only regret is I didn't have my phone with me to get an ATL when I picked it up. -
This is actually the only state that I've ever missed a year on. I HATED that they make you buy points in the late summer/fall. It's a busy time and I forgot one year and am now one point behind max for elk. HUGE mistake. If they would've had the option to buy the point in the spring when all the other draws are going I would NEVER have forgotten. I now only put in for tags so it's in the spring but when I was in college I missed one dang year because I didn't want to draw and waited to buy a point in the fall. Anyhow I know it's my fault but its the one and only state that does that and I think it really confuses things.

I was driving in western ND today and caught this herd of muleys out of the corner of my eye. Not really a big deal this time of year in ND to see deer from the highway as they will lay out in open places when the weather gets bad so it's not uncommon to see 100-300 deer from the interstate driving though here. Anyhow the one really caught my eye so I spun around and got a closer look. Doesn't look like a true albino but it's definitely got something going on. I'll have to keep my eyes on it this summer.
-
Wow. This is a smokin deal!! If I wasn't in ND I'd be all over this!! Bet this doesn't last till I finish my coffee!

They stopped shooting muley does here in ND in 2010 after a really bad winter. The G&F finally realized that maybe shooting 70,000 does a year wasn't such a good idea. We've had 3 consecutive good winters in a row so I'm guessing they're gonna shoot the snot out of them again soon. Hate to see any wildlife around right?!? We have a similar love for the NDGF as you guys do down there!!
-
I've got a glock 20 that I've shot some heavy hand loads out of. I'm a little nervous now!
-
It's a hybrid. See the whiteface one? No eyegaurds!?! Hello!! Coues ALWAYS have eyegaurds and muleys NEVER have eyegaurds. We all know that antler shape is the most guaranteed way to tell if it's a hybrid. Also it must be 1/3 Hereford as well.

Cow Bison, How Much Freezer/Cooler Space Do I Need?
yotebuster replied to Heat's topic in Buffalo Hunting
A cow buffalo has way less meat then a bull. We butchered one for a neighbor when I was a kid that I would be surprised if it had 15% meat on it. She weighed 700 pounds if I remmebr right and I would be surprised if she had 125-150# of meat. I big bull elk will have much more meat then a cow bison.
