Pine Donkey

Thats a beautiful animal. Noce looking mount!

Thats an awsome buck. Congratulations.

I have had the same problems for the past few days. I resized everything to under 2.0 and still can't post them. Not sure, but I think this was the first time I tried to post pictures since the forum went down for those couple dark and tragic days.

great pictures!

Great job.

My condolences for your loss. It is so hard when they work their way into your heart. Keep all those memories alive and reflect back on them often.

Very nice.

It's about time! The story and names of these two has been out there since the second day of the fire. Lark mentioned that life is hard when your stupid. When you add arrogance to stupidity it can be dangerous. There are many dedicated and ehtical hunters and fishermen who promote wildlife and the outdoors. Then there are the slobs who pose as hunters and fishermen, and give us all a bad name. These two are slobs who do not care about anything but themselves. Remember, they first reported that the fire came through their camp while they had hiked down the canyon to fish. That portion of Bear Wallow Creek has been closed to fishing for some time. This did not matter to them...the rules are for others. In many small communities, families earn reputations; some good--some bad. They can be earned for years of doing things like driving in closed areas and hunting from vehicles, entering posted private lands without permission, playing loose with bag limits and calendar dates, and fishing/hunting closed areas. Factual or not, reputations are built. To quote a line from the movie Wyatt Earp, "the reputation business is a tricky business." These two will never be able to pay for the damage and expense they caused, but I hope they are forced to chip away at it for the rest of their lives. I also hope that others that contributed to the overgrown conditions of the forest are also held accountable, but I doubt that will ever happen.

Love the color...beautiful bear.

90+ nice buck

That would have been my truck. My son Garrett has been cutting wood all summer. If anybody needs seasoned mesquite, let me know.

Nice double! Enjoy the memories.

What a great morning. Some dads buy their kids a nintendo and think the child live a full life! These stories about kids hunting are my favorites, this is among the best yet.

Pictures...pictures...pictures

Freeze everything you can freeze, water and gatoraide, meats, etc. Mix in dry ice. Since you have a small fridge, try and open the ice chest only once a day, in the early morning. Get everything you need for the day and move it to the small fridge. Keep the coolers shaded, and put them up on rocks or wood so air can move under them, and protect them from the heat of the ground.

Great buck, congratulations!

Anywhere you go on Fort now days, you are in Coues country. Much of the traditional muley range in this part of the state has been taken over by the crafty little coues. PM me with your phone number if you get a chance. Good luck, and watch for snakes!

Thanks for posting the story and pictures, I really enjoyed them. Those are a couple beautiful rams...congratulations. Can't wait to read about the caribou hunt.

very cool.

That didn't take long!

You may want to look on the East Range in the flats between Sierra Vista and the River.

What a great bull, congratulations Pete. Also, congratulations to Mossback, they are having an increadible year...and it's only mid-August!

Once again Doug, you leave me awed!

That toad is so huge he looks fake. Congratulations to all involved.

Lmao! Just needing a bit of clerification...were you talking about the pecker on his face or were you cockeyed? Lol
