My buck I shot this year was very light almost but not as light as that one. The smaller one with him was light like the one you pictured. It too was grassy open terrain. Probably the rubs or lack of like others posted

But it was a great dog... until this. "But but If you raise em right......"

Well done on raising your dogs right! I had a buddy in a similar situation, his were great dogs too. Then one day he forgot to close the gate, and those two great dogs ate up the neighbors dog that was on a leash and tore into the neighbor pretty good when she tried to stop them. Good dogs though. Another friend had a good one also, until a friend came over with his young child (3-4) and that good dog for no reason chose to rip the face off of his buddy's daughter. It was a good dog too, very well trained with excellent manners. I usually avoid these conversations on this website, but you got my attention when you said "If you did your research you'd see that there is way more reports of dog bites from labs, cockers, German shepards and dalmations than pits." You're wrong buddy, check out the research conducted over the last 30 years. http://www.dogsbite.org/pdf/dog-attack-deaths-maimings-merritt-clifton-2013.pdf . While I hope you would read the full report, if you just want to scroll real quickly through the pages checking out just the first and second columns that will suffice. Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I thought others might enjoy the 'research.' Yup, famous last words of many. "But he was a good dog". Difference with dogs built like pits, is they don't just bite, they maul. As well as a good dog with the family it knows can be deadly around everyone else. So yes, it may be a good dog until an instinct we don't understand, triggers it on a unknowing victim. OP you sound reasonable with your neighbors, they are not obviously or they'd respect your attempts to resolve it in a mature manner. Keep out of trouble and do what needs to be done. You gave them there chance. Lots of funny, good and not so good advice on here. This is a great thread.

That cats huge! What shot were you using? and what size of shell??

Universities and colleges are for partying and doing drugs...the education one gets at these institutions is sub par and closer to indoctrination. Sports are the only thing good these days coming out of the universities. But give it time, and and they will screw up the sports too. And indoctrinating liberal views in young impressionable minds

I dont think the board opposing it means you cant hunt on it. Its just them whining out loud from what I understand. But im not sure on that. The PredatorMasters convention( which is the reason they are all lathered up) this weekend isnt even a competition or hunt for that matter anyway. Its a convention. With some members getting together to go hunt the local areas during that time. All these nitwit college brainwashed liberals never step foot outdoors yet know everything there is about wildlife biology. That is until there precious poodle becomes a pile of crap in the nearby wash, then its off with there heads for the coyote. Typical liberal hypocrisy

I could handle the loss better if New England just stuffed the run and won it. Its hard to swallow though when your own team, coaches especially, work against you by making an easy decision over complicated. Oh well. More important things in life. Fun season either way

Sick, just sick

Its political so get your minds out of the gutter http://www.sportsmenslink.org/policies/federal/sportsmens-packages-of-the-113th-congress

Thats very cool!! Whats wrong with glassing from the road as long as you arent blocking anyone?? Especially dirt road or even more so, jeep trails. I want one, and I dont even have anything to use it on.

I agree with the too loud theory. You can always start low and go up. But once you spook them, you can't go back. Live and learn

Anyone else notice the dogs are getting harder to call right now? Anyone been using howls and coyote vocalization right now with any success? Distress doesnt seem to be peaking there interest as much for me. Figured they are starting or getting ready to rut.

Sold-please delete Like new, Savage 111 7mm Remington mag. Comes with Hogue pillar bedded stock and original factory stock $550 OBO I should add, I got his in a trade from a buddy, I'm sure it shoots great. I already have enough hunting calibers or id keep it. I don't think more than 2 boxes of ammo have been through it.

Instead ASU keeps giving Sendek extensions and raises. The latest includes a big bonus if he gets to one NCAA tourney in a 3 year span. Miller would get fired if he made 1 in a 3 year span. Asu will never be good if the status quo is good enough. Who else is going to get them better?? Hes actually not a bad coach. There problem is, is that they havent established any sort of consistency or semi decent tradition so its hard to attract recruits. Coupled with the universities attitude of its a football school not a basketball school, opposite what UA was prior to Greg Byrne pushing to change that. If Wichita State or Butler can do it, ASU should. I hope they dont, but they should be able to be at least decent.

Yeah and according to Direct TV they were going to have the Pac-12 negotiations worked out........like 2 years ago

$389 I believe now. Yeah I've been talking myself in and out of it for awhile now.

Great! Ive been eyeballing a Mossberg 835 at Walmart. I dont need anymore persuasion

I do think alot of areas are just beat up right now as well. Everywhere i have gone looks like a million people have been through. So I think between deer, quail and now the archey and pig, they are cautious for sure. Ive been thinking about trying up high to get on some dogs that probably dont get called much if ever. Always looking for new areas. I can think of a ton of areas(deer and elk hunting spots) Id bet my retirement on that never get called but it seems like a long drive just for coyotes, predators. Might try it anyway.

Well he's a freshman and it showed! Upside is, that these experiances will teach him. I'll still take this year over what we have had in the past. Freshman RB(who got injured and left the game) and QB, played like crap in the Fiesta Bowl and still had a chance? I'd say things are still going in the right direction. They just didnt capitalize on some big moments when they could of.

This country is to blame for so many foreign companies going up and american made going down. To many restrictions here. Foreign or not this company will provide jobs. Much needed jobs. Not like American companies (example Walmart) treat there people worth a dam anyway.

I glassed the buck I shot this year about 1 1/2 miles away with my Vulture 15s. Like bigj23 said, it loses sharpness on edges but the rest is great. For paying about 1/6th the price of the others, they are well worth it!! I cant justify for myself spending $2500 on a pair of optics I might use once or twice a year or not at all if I dont get drawn, only to shoot small or average deer and elk. If I was gettting paid to hunt, that would be a different story. Theyre good quality glass.

You can get the M9s or the M9A1's the Marine Corp uses from Budsgunshop somewhat on a regular basis. But they arent usually cheap.

This is not a debate about breeds of dogs being evil or this and that. But the fact that this young boy needs surgery while the dog that ruined his life has people lining up donating money, a webcam, his own attorney and Joe Arpaio adopting the dog, makes me sick that we live in a world that has its priorities so upside down. I know we all bicker and fuss about things hunting and ASU vs UA, etc, on this website but I also know we are aware of whats really important in life. I posted this here cause I know this group is the type to help this kid out. I will donate what I can, my hope is that this kid gets alittle from alot, and it will get them to there goal. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/surgery-for-kevin-vicente-victim-of-pitbull-attack http://www.azcentral.com/story/ejmontini/2014/12/09/sheriff-joe-arpaio-dennis-wilenchik-jack-wilenchik-mickey-pit-bull-green-acre-dog-bording/20137779/

Anyone notice the animals get more shy or not? I try and call low once the mule deer hunts end and wait to go higher after all the whitetail hunts in my area. Think the pressure might get to em alil. I have also noticed though how many people think coyotes are stupid and call not watching movement, wind, or how to use a call. To many lazy bad habits educating them as well.
