I don't mind the noise(I confess I am often making the noise) but I can't STAND when people don't clean up their mess. It's a character issue and not a holiday issue with those that behave that way.

that stinks. Could have ended badly but glad you walked away.

Do any of you or your significant other shoot a crossbow? My wife has two bad shoulders but wants to bow hunt. Looking for suggestions for her.

We went in looking for the 320 as you had suggested, but she liked the shorter Dagger. Other than that they are identical. Either way she would have been happy. I was going a different direction until you guys helped. She actually LOVED the skeletonized/tactical look of the Mission. Never would have guessed it. I have to go by the Deer Valley shop now to get her fixed up with bolts, wax, extra string, scope, pulley...blah blah $$$$$$$$ Then she has to "customize" it with paint and vinyl ( she ruined a perfectly good benelli a few years back by making it look like a doyly. lol) Then she has to PRACTICE. THEN we get to hunt! Unfortunately she is not hardcore like us and will take a little time to get her in the filed after the critters. I would have it out there TOMORROW.

Thanks guys for all the help. We were out looking at some crossbows while in Utah and she pulled the trigger on a Mission Dagger. It fit her perfect as she is very short. I was shocked and very pleased when she said she wanted to buy It right then and there. Didn't have to tell me twice. lol Now we just need to get her an elk tag.....

Bummer you had to settle for a dink.....lol

I hate those friggin roundabouts. People are not smart enough to stop when there is a RED LIGHT, how are they supposed to use JUDGMENT???? lol That's a cool camera setup. Do you use it enough to validate the cost? As for bmw dude, I would have gladly offered to call someone for him.....

There is just something special about a father/daughter hunt.

Well done. Never seen one get brained, but at least you had the wherewithal to finish the job. Congrats.

I found it. Snow!

What is that dashcam you are using?

My wife made me a nice neoprene slip case for packing. weighs little and takes up only a fraction more room than not having anything. pads them great.

Oh...and some church socks. but at least they are camo. 5 different kinds.

I got a dash cam pro. Oh ya officer.....

Cool story and congrats.

I do understand the fine, but I am in the camp of disagreeing with him losing his license(I think). When I first read it, I was totally on the side of the hunter that the fine and punishment was unreasonable. I am moving to the other side now though. We need to be clear that he CHOSE to shoot the second ram. The ewe was an "accident". He shot at an animal, and then INTENTIONALLY shot at a second. If it was just the ewe that was in question because of a pass-through, that would be different. Just my opinion, but to me the other ram was not an "accident", it was a bad choice. Unfortunately(or fortunately) there can be steep penalties for bad choices.

Spending time elk hunting is never a bad thing. Doing it with friends is even better. Nice pictures too.

I agree. Although his wife is from the area they are moving to, I think he will be sorely disappointed with the attitudes that have infected the area. Still though...ANYWHERE is better than san fran cisco.

While reading your opening sentence my eyes wandered down to the first picture and my brain went........ whaaaaaaaaaaaaat??????????

Ouch. Where was his friend and why was he not spotting one wonders. It really doesn't set a good precedent for self reporting though. I think a true hunter still would, but dang.

I saw that too. I wish I was getting a tag in 2017 but probably won't. should give a better chance for some good calling. Good to see they finally will be treating everyone like adults and not making us wait for those that cannot keep their credit cards good though.

Looks like a good pee tree to me....

Trout. Stick. Mesquite wood. Fire. Eat Your welcome. Just kidding. Sort of Rub them down good with salt and lemon pepper. A little butter and a lemon half wrapped in tinfoil. Throw it on the fire. Falls off the bones.

Beautiful ram. Other than that I have no opinion on this matter. lol

Looks like he is doing it right. Well done guiding him down that path.
