.270

i wish i'da thought o' that one. and the antlers aren't 2 year old sheds. they are attached to a fairly fresh dead deer. Lark.

catch 22? one endangered species eatin' another one. Lark.

what if it is? great buck kid. with a bow, excellent. no matter where it's hit. Lark.

loin cloth? they don't make em long enough. only reason i use a gun or a bow is because it's against the law, therefore unethical, to kill game with your "bear" hands. i love this. Lark.

alls they banned was the suppositories i think. made everbody run wierd. Lark.

hahahahahaha. iiiyiiiyiii. yo understoodo himo. man, somebody just got el servoed. now i know what diet mt dew feels like in your nose. that's funny. dirty, but funny. hahahahaha. my ribs hurt. Lark.

cool cake. what kind inside? i hafta really big cakes anymore, for all the candles. Lark.

chuck has bear hands? no wonder he is good at the judorate stuff. el cabron, don't let these guys run ya off. one thing we hate here is the truth. Lark.

i have a friend who thinks a 2 point is a nontypical. he can't seem to find anything but a spike. he went turkey huntin' once and didn't shoot one because none of em had spikes. nice bucks. Lark.

ok, when did punchin' somebody in the face become illegal? now that ain't ethical right there. Lark.

if you don't see any in the prarie down by eagle creek, go up the mud springs road and take a right at the first green gate and go back up on that big open mesa. we see them all the time in canyons that run from there back to eagle. if you take that road as far up as it goes there is a fork that comes back to main road. several other roads fork off all over in there. a lot of the time they wander back over on the rez too. maybe look down by hardy hole. but you should find them. i've never been in there without seeing them somewhere if i was halfway looking for them. i'm thinking you're gonna hafta injun up on em tho. i don't know if sitting water is gonna do much good in there. have fun. show us a photo. that is some great country. get a lion tag before you go. Lark.

a real hunter only needs one thing. a .270. this is one o' those "magnetic" deals. polarized. Lark.

cw4192, shhhhhh, they might hear ya. then we'll all hafta get one for our pickups. but if they would drop the amount you pay for registration like they do for a quad, it might be a good deal. my ranger is about $150 a year. if i buy the off road sticker for $20, it drops to $6. if you're talking to hillbillys, use words they understand. and besides, millivanilli said i don't know anything about reloading anyway, so i probly gave you bad advice. if it worked, it was probly an accident. Lark.

javelina, 10. am i the only guy that wasn't a little shocked that Bill Q's first game animal wasn't a wooly mammoth or a cave bear? i was looking at a house on a ranch awhile back that had a big fireplace made outta petrified logs. one of em had "BILL QUIMBY" whittled in it. Lark.

actually it's personal property you can move around. just about anything but real estate. was once used as a common term for the children of slaves also. i just wanted to see if you actually knew what it meant, and seeing as you seem to, why didn't you just say personal property? i used to work around a guy that always tried to use fancy words instead of words that everyone knew the definition. he didn't amount to much. and again, all ethics are is your opinion. and you have to know the difference. there are no legal ethics. it's either legal or it's not and the ethics part is up to you. that's why i say legal=ethical. this game camera deal is going to turn on guys sometime. the more folks complain about it the sooner they'll try to legislate it and the legislation will include a fee for a permit and rules and regulations that will make it a lot worse than it is now. probly be a DEPARTMENT OF TRAIL CAMERA ADMINSTRATION, too. bigmoqui hit the nail on the head pretty square. if you don't want someone stealing your camera, walk a little farther and put it off the beaten path where folks ain't always walking past it. what good is a buncha photos of deer in a place everyone else knows about? leave an unlocked bike downtown for a couple hours. it disappears. same with a quad in the back of your truck next to the street at night. the world is fulla jerks that will steal anything they can. even "hunters". protect yourself. my favorite saying of all time was said by the Duke. LIFE IS HARD, IT'S A LOT HARDER IF YOU'RE STUPID. live by it. Lark.

yep, i knew we'd get a lawyer in on it. what the h e l l is chattel? and there ain't no fine line between ethical and legal, there is a huge line that is so wide you can't see the other side. and it's smeared out by "legal" interpretation. there are all kindsa coyotes out there. and skunks and weasels and snakes and buzzards. if you don't want your camera took, either don't put it out there or hide it real good. this has been going on since they've been invented and it will continue forever. well. until they invent personal sattelites or somethin'. Lark.

i usually get jealous when i get out funnied, but that was funny azpackhorse. i laughed out loud. once i took a spotted owl and stuck it in a condor and stuck that in a wolf and cooked it. sorta like a turducken, only with endangered species. them 2 wimmin are braver than me, lettin' an owl take a rat outta your hand. i know i'd end up scarred. Lark.

yeah, and they said the wallow fire would burn itself out too. wait, they were right. just took awhile. if you ask 20 usfs guys you'll probly get 20 different answers. same with the azgfd. depends on who's interpreting it. that's why there are so many lawyers. i can see trail cameras being regulated and permitted sometime. enough guys will complain about them getting taken and guys will get in enough fights over who was there first that they will have to step in and regulate it somehow or another. i enjoy seeing the photos tho. Lark.

looks like fun. everything likes mice. oughta see what a northern pike does to one. a friend of mine found a stunned owl in the road that had been hit by a car. like a dummy he picked it up to get it some help. while they were friving down the road it woke up and stuck it's talons in his leg. tore him to pieces. do you ever get to eat an owl? Lark.

have fun. should be a good hunt. Lark.

i have. all you need is your mouth and some know how. sometimes it works pretty good. Lark.

movie review: cowboys and aliens- go see it. it's sorta unbelievable because there ain't no way a buncha cowboys would have that much trouble killin' a buncha aliens, but it is exciting. and the aliens didn't look that realistic. at least they didn't look much like the ones i've seen the times i been abducted. but when ya have the kinda experiences i seem to have with them sorry E.T. bastards, it is fun to see em get blowed up. one of the best documentaries i ever seen. two guns up. Lark.

natural fires are just as important as weather. the countryside needs them for a lot of reasons. but when you've suppressed fires for a hunnerd years, you can't just decide to not put them out anymore. if you're gonna manage something, you have to manage it all, not just the easy parts. and manmade fire, especially the intentional ones like we saw in the southeast part of the state lit off by illegals and the wallow fire, lit of by idiots, ain't needed. we toured the wallow fire last week. at least they saved the arrow tree. some places are really greening up nicely. others are getting flooded to the point of devastation. some of the canyons coming off escudilla look like log yards at the bottom from all the dead logs washing off the mountain. hannagan creek has been gutted from the run off and lack of vegitation to slow it down. pretty rough to look at a lot of it. Lark.

what channel are the knittin' tournaments on? i can't believe i've been missin' them things. stitch one, pearl two. that's exciting stuff. you hit it on the head there Bill. some of the shows need subtitles the annunciation is so bad. i like to watch a hunt. most of this stuff just isn't hunting. 30 minute commercials. Lark.

a javelina burrito won't make ya feel better but it will cause things that will take your mind off other things. go see the movie tho. it's a good one. Lark.
