Last day at Brazos River Lodge, NM Will post up some crummy videos here in a bit. We need to work on our video skills... Thanks to all for following and the kind words. Goodnight Brazos!

4 for 4. BIL got some sweet redemption after 2 hard years of bad luck and bad mistakes. lost an average bull earlier in the day and was bummed. went out for the evening hunt and absolutely laced the biggest elk to come out of here in many years. not great genetics in here but lots of elk. makes for a fun hunt. now we need to teach him to get down low and long arm so his elk looks bigger......lol dude is 6'5" so everything looks small and they finally fed us a decnt meal. off to coyote hunt in the morning and wrap this trip up

my turn. 485 yds across same canyon as last night. almost a boring hunt. saw this guy at last light out in the valle and decided to check on him in the morning. walked to the edge of the trees and he was pushing his cows up to the other side to bed. be didnt make it. the little 3x trailer was ecstatic as he just got uograded. lol one of the prettiest places i have seen and i shoot this guy in the ugliest spot in the whole ranch. still tastes good though 3 down 1 to go

2 down 2 to go. not a bad opening day. 475 yds across a nasty canyon at last light. didnt get packed out until 1030. the vacation brochure didnt mention that part.

yup. we got us a legit coat wearing chef. today we took lunch on the veranda....lol

Good start and a beautiful morning. FIL got it done. 1 down 3 to go.

Another thread had me thinking about this. Many hunters have a very negative view of "road hunters". Some road hunt out of necessity(age, disability, injury, etc etc) but these are not the guys I am talking about here. I'm curious how people feel about a situation where an otherwise "anti" road hunter type comes across a target of opportunity. Do you consider that "road hunting"? Would YOU take a shot at that "target of opportunity" or is it all about the chase for you?

seems like an ok place to hunt elk so far....

i got 7 you can have...

I am bored and there is nothing like a good road hunting thread to pass the time. and it was more of a "target of opportunity" question than a road hunting question. I just phrased it poorly. Still 24 hrs until I leave for NM and I can't stare at the clock any longer....

That's what it's all about. Congrats to him. And to you for raising him right.

Just a lot of work for a little oil. Just be sure to keep your oil filled. A little oil doesn't hurt unless it is causing other problems.

Thats awesome man. Youre the type of guy that would always be fun to hunt with.

As Curtis said, Your gas leak is most likely from the float valve not seating due to buildup from letting gas sit in the carb. seafoam could clean it but might need a carb kit if the little rings have hardened. very easy to do. You need to check that your differentials are not leaking from somewhere. That oil is very much like engine oil. Given the location it very well could be. Just track the fluid if you can. Fluid can run horizontal or along lines too. So it could be coming from something several feet away from where it is dripping. Engine oil leaks are not uncommon in old bikes. seals just get old. most of the time not worth rebuilding or even putting a new seal on. But for sure try to trace it.

agreed. The fluid is coming from above. What color is the fluid and what does it smell like? Does it taste bitter?

If what Curtis said doesn't work you need a carb kit. Cheap and easy to rebuild.

There are some very nice and very expensive ones out there, but what is your purpose? I have had one of the amazon cheapies(called an airsoft cover) on mine for almost 2 years with ZERO issues. I use mine for hunting only though so it never really gets "hot". Even sighting in once a year with 4 or 5 shots in a couple minutes it does just fine. I doubt it would hold up to a mag dump though. Maybe one.

It looks like the chick has her phone up taking a selfie of them as they go through. These idiots are the type that get things banned and roads/forests closed. Same mentality as those that look at barricades as "obstacle course features" and not DO NOT ENTER statements.
