    Mock Scrapes

    Have any of ever used a mock scrape on Coues with success? If so, what's your procedure? Do you wait until you see fresh scrapes before making your own or do you just go ahead and start them before the Dec bow season? What brand of scrents are you using? Code Blue...Wildlife Research...??? Some of that stuff is pretty pricey for deer wizz? Thanks Jeff

    more on Calif. condor issue

    So now you cannot even posses lead ammo in these areas. Still think it's only about buzzards?
  5. It's not about Condors anymore, it's about guns.
  6. Sounds like a backhanded attempt to end hunting and gun use. Basically, California has now banned the time honored American tradition of small game hunting in 1/4 of their state.

    Mock Scrapes

    I just bought some deer whizz and a dripper and made a scape next to a trail that was getting used a lot. There is good info here - mock scrapes

    Mock Scrapes

    UPDATE - Two weeks ago I set up a mock scrape on a dripper. Went to check it out this weekend and there was a fresh rub on the tree next to it and deer whizz in the snow all around the scrape. I put a camera on it, so in a week or so I will check it out again. SWEET!

    Rut?

    Found a very fresh scrape near my tree stand yesterday. I smelled it before I saw it. PS..Don't eat the yellow snow.
  10. Our great Governor just declared that the tree in the Capital building is no longer a Christmas Tree, it's a Holiday Tree. Thanks, I feel so much more secure now that you clarified that.

    Ameristep Doghouse Blind

    I picture a scene like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation when Clark Griswold finds out he got the Jelly of the Month Club for a Christmas bonus.

    Did anyone notice?

    Since you asked---- Santa now banned from saying Ho Ho Ho. It is offensive to women!?!?! Wouldn't it only be offensive, if he calling was you a ho ho ho?

    lion kill

    I would get a lion tag, my .270 and sit 100 yards from that deer.

  18. http://www.expertgps.com/ Free 30 day demo. Fully functioning. Download, view and print topos for the entire country. Download, view and print aerial photos for the entire country Transfer waypoints and routes to and from your GPS. Mark a spot on the topo, switch views and the spot is shown on the corresponding photo. I have the Delorme 3dtopos too and it is good, but it does not do aerial photos, is only for Arizona and it cost $100. This is a great tool for looking at terrain when you are planning / scouting for an out of state hunt.

    Best mapping software I have found.

    I have not used Topo USA. I recently went through the dreaded dead computer routine too. It sucks.

    How about Spike...in honor of Casey's deer he will bag in 36B this year?

    How far from roads? Picture for your time

    Firstcoues is right. There is a road on every ridge, to the top of every mountain and in every canyon unless you are hunting a wilderness area.

    Another quote to play with!

    I'm curious, was he refering to people killing confined game for sport or buying fresh meat at the market? During the depression, buying store meat was considered a luxury most could not afford and many many people relied on wild game for meat.

    Warning!

    How do you practice at $3 per trigger squeeze? Weatherby factory ammo has always been high priced, but that is unreal. I've seen some of the Weatherby ammo go for up to $100 / box. http://www.midwayusa.com/ebrowse.exe/brows...ng=653***690***
