Been thinking of getting some additional articles of camo this coming year. Is there any kind any of you like specifically. How about one you use for calling predators but have used on other animals like deer, elk etc? Like a one size fits all type that seems to work every where without spending a mint trying to match every terrain.

I'll have to pull my clothes out and check but mine are the Realtree Hardwoods I believe?? It has alot of brown but some green as well. I like the ones that have some green but not a ton. It seems alot of the stuff designed for back East hunting actually blends in out here pretty decent. Better than I would of thought when I saw it out here in the field. I am leaning toward the Realtree Hardwoods APG. Seems to have some good tan,green and brown mixtures.

Nice elk! I made a promise I wouldnt shoot any spikes early in my hunt and killed a average to small 5x5 first day and kinda wondered if I should of held out for a bigger one. Reading your story makes me realize I think I made the right choice. You just never know. Where did you get that gambrel hoist you were using if you dont mind me asking??

fox, bobcat.....time for the varmint call to come out ! Very cool pictures as well!

Good observation! I am no CSI but perhaps its the same pieces of crap doing it!!

Not cool, not cool at all!

I will try those and look those up that you mentioned. I like to read here and there but when I do I usually like non-fiction, informative books that you can learn from. I like all the boring stuff like History channel, etc. So thats the way my mind is geared towards. My wife just loves the History channel shows too ! If you think of anymore please post. Thanks!

Nice bull. Gotta love some people and ther hunting ethics or lack there of. Some people will do whatever it takes to get a animal. Including disregard for safety. Nice job recovering though!

Yeah it got me!! I was all close to the screen waiting to see a huge elk, deer, etc. Scrolling down and I see that...... !!!! Makes me wonder what it is or how they set it up. Looks like somebody in thermals bottoms who passed out at camp and was left outside by the rest of the crew and woke up in the middle of the night and realized what happened !

Sold pending funds!

Lark, I agree with you. I'd like to take shots back at you Scum Devils but UA has let me down and pissed me off so much this year, I just kinda lost my gas to do it . The loss to ASU wasnt even the worst of it, cause I honestly thought it might happen. They actually looked worse this year in ways. This team just didnt have enough heart. No explosiveness. I think Mark Stoops and Sonny Dykes took that with them when they left.

Just like the commentator said last night, Every coach says his team is a young team, hurt team, etc. You play with what you have. ASU deserved this game but dont go crowning them anything yet. They still havent proven anything with one key win. Remember, Oregons QB is a FRESHMAN, and there RB(Lamichael James) is a sophomore with a much better coach, program than ASU or UA! Only time will tell who does what from here on out.

Kickers are gonna miss kicks sometimes, even when they need it most. However Zendajas has been questionable since he has started kicking for UA. ASU did what they had to to stick around and as usual, UofA did what they had to to lose the game. Both teams should of had at least 2 more wins on the year not including this game. Maybe somebody will breakout next year from the mediocrity.

Heres my elk shot on the opening morning at 106 yards around 10 am-not a huge monster but a tag filled. I would definetly like to do this all the time, more so than deer even, just need to get drawn more often or at all ! Lot of fun hunting in the pines!!

WOW.....devils deserve this one! If you cant make extra points at critical times............heck, if you cant make them at anytime, you deserve to lose. Stoops needs to do some serious retooling in the off season. We lose on our kicker, ASU wins on theres. How sickening ! Guess Boise State knows that all to well. At least Boise's is good the rest of the year. Sheesh!

Nice bull!

Mine is the far left 3x4. All shot this year(2010) opening day.

Did they respond to your letter or email???

mje1, yeah that was us! Small world-especially in AZ huh!! Any luck for you guys??

thanks for the comments. I really didnt know what to expect for the Late hunt. Still really dont, it was over so quick . I hear alot people say they see them right by the road and alot of people glassing and walking all over and not seeing much and vice versa. So I guess you never know. Just like any animal you hunt. Walked a good bit that morning and saw tons of sign but no elk. Seen 15 or so elk with like 5 bulls driving in to the area we walked but it was to dark to get them in the scope, trust me I tried. They ran off, we tried to come around and get on them but could never find them. Its funny, you can walk, glass, etc and see nothing or no horns, Drive down the road and see all kinds just standing there !

U of A Overrated??? No more than Dennis Erickson's career at ASU!! Underachieving for the cats? Definetly. As far as the Scumdevils go this is the best it will get for ASU under that old goat! Beardown Arizona!!

Very good and informative reading! So is there any belief that only the northern part of the state had the buffs originally or are they believed to of been more dispersed amongst the state?? Always wonder how an animal like grizzly bears and the wolf gets so much love from the bleeding hearts but you never hear of restoration, reintroduction efforts for animals like the buffaloes, antelope. mule deer, etc, with the exception of hunter supported conservation groups.

. That is a fantastic bull. I bet it was a heck of a pack out!

Got 2 Harris bipods, dont remember the models but one is the short one for prone or bench shooting, the other extends out long enough to sit down on the ground and shoot. They really seem great even though I have never used them to shoot an animal.
