Quit dipping after 42 years. It was 10 years ago April. My worse cravings still come when I am hunting. Something about sitting a waterhole or glassing from a mountain triggers a craving that I can hardly resist. I dip the same herbal snuff longshooter uses. It does help.

OBO. Due to medical I can no longer pull this bow.

While not unfamiliar with 8 I have always hunted deer or turkey, never elk. I drew an early archery bull tag and went up this weekend to familiarize myself with the area west of Perkinsville Rd. I camped on the 108 and 41 intersection. I saw guys in camo and guys sitting off of tanks late in the evenings. Also a bit surprised to see fresh treestands up already. It's still 2 1/2 months to the deer opener and and another 3 weeks beyond that to elk season. Just curious but where would the least amount of hunters be during the early hunt? I am thinking where I was may be a bit crowded. 20 years ago I had hiked into Tule Canyon hunting deer a couple of days before the archery elk season opened and the elk activity was insane. I was a lot younger then and not disabled like I am now. Pretty sure I could have escaped hunting pressure but those days are behind me.

I am taking a lion tag with me any time I am in 8. We found 2 lion killed deer and saw a lion when we came up to a tank.

Thanks for the info guys. It just seemed like there was a lot of early activity. I never did like crowds but it sounds like it would be easy to get away from them. I hunted 5BS the last couple of times I drew an elk tag and it seemed no matter how deep in the woods I went I ran into someone.

$425 on the rival.

Wonder if the rest of him is laying around somewhere.

I have a 2016 Bighorn. It gets about 16-17 highway mpg, 10 mpg when towing a load. I have no issues pulling a 10K lb toyhauler. I have owned Fords and Chevys including diesels and have had less problems with the Dodges. We went to using them exclusively on the farm and worked the snot out of them. I had one that developed a death wobble. New tires and a front end alignment took care of it.

Forget that one. Wrong Sawmill. Got it from a friend. DUH! Some of us are just born stupid.

Rattlesnakes were part of growing up in the boondocks. My daughter was bit by a mojave when she was 10 years old, both parents were bit, a girlfriend was bit,many cows, dogs,cats and horses from snakebite. I have had numerous close encounters but have been fortunate enough to not have been bitten yet.

Great shooting bow. I need to get this sold so I can buy a crossbow for a unit 8 bull tag.

Pick a spot and there will be elk there. If size of animal is not an issue then you will have opportunity all the time. I passed on 8 bulls 35-50 yards last year. I got too picky and came home empty but had an absolute blast. It is my favorite unit.

OBO on the Rival
