This years Mexico trip was all about my son. I love my children more than anything and I cant believe how time flies. My oldest son is a senior in HS and only wanted to hunt and fish and so this is one of 2 or 3 trips we are going to take before he graduates. Hopefully one more hunting trip and a fishing trip in April. Thanks Jay for some of the pictures. And another great trip with great people. Video of lion dragging buck

Snow is always the best for winter moisture! It sure has been good to see this storm hit. We sure need it.i just hope we get a few more storms of something..ill take any moisture at this point.

Very Cool congrats to your father in law! Tough hunt last year

That's awesome Damon. Congrats!

I only look at bulls in 23, 3a3c and the 4s. Those are notoriously dry units already and so maybe it didn't affect them as much. I never saw giant bulls during the hunts, but I did see them on camera. I heard the same about 23 and the 4s. I also heard that about 1 and 27 but I didn't spend any time over there. Just as in cattle it doesn't take much green grass to start fatting them up. BUT they need continued new growth. That is why if we get get rain every month I think it will be ok. But again. I doubt that will happen.

No...at least not what i saw...one of the absolute worst ruts ever but the growth was there. One of the biggest bulls ever killed with auction tag, A lot of outfitters had giants on canera that never showed up...My cameras showed average to above average growth for sure. Elk antler growth isnt all about the amount of moisture but the timing of moisture.. If we get a few storms every month it will allow new grass and feed growth which will support the elk. All that being said we rarely get much rain or snow after March so I'm not counting on much. Wishing and praying but not counting.

I doubt you will be able to find a commercial operation to do it, too much red tape. If you get everything together I can load some up for you.

Have to be frozen for 24 hours but thawed enough at the border they can check for ticks.

You have multiple forms US wildlife and arival forms. You have to have it filled out with importer and exporter (usually the hunter and the outfitter ) They check for no hide, or flesh on bone and no ticks on the hide. After that they allow you to cross with them. Some years we spend hours upon hours picking ticks and they still find some and other times we spend only a couple hours and they do a quick search and don't find much and let you take them. Every year and every agent is different.

Hey Lee send me a text or call me tonight. I think I have a few dozen once fired, maybe a partial box or two of random brass. I'll be home around 5 or 5:30 and can check it out. Houston 48zero 54zero forty four 45

I know im old school but even thinking about a battery saw makes me want to shoot a 6.5 CM and have a manbun

I bought a very nice used S &B on Lances recommendation and my brother bought a new Kahles . both are awesome. Go new and I would get Kahles for sure umder 3k

Huge Congrats! Not an easy hunt and a good Ram to be proud of.!

Not sure who you are talking with but I did CE credits during my mandatory shutdown and all of the tests and trials done of hydroxychloroquine showed huge promises. (Done by real Physicians and medical researchers) I personally know a presciber that has over 80% "success" rate of limiting and stopping symptoms with it. Im not sure how he gets his #s but he is convinced. Not a single one of my other presciber friends are getting anywhere close to that...

Purty buck!

I can't even imagine having BR for an Alum that would be about the worst thing in the world. Its hard enough that my children go to Snowflake. but at least snowflake seems to be a decent school, both SL and BR have suffered greatly the last few years.

Trust me I went to Show Low High school from 92-96 I think BR went undeafeted basically all 4 years

I almost felt bad for the Wildcats, that was tough to watch. It was also a great game, great fan support and great outcome for Snowflake. I was just there for the cheerleaders. Let me rephrase that, My daughter is a senior cheerleader and we were there to support her/them. Congrats Lobos!

Ouch. You need anything?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the ad and nothing wrong with the discussion. N2horns is a good guy to deal with and every comment brings more views and more likely to sell. He sells a lot and Im sure he has thick skin and knows the value of each bump. I agree they are worth what someone will pay for them.

That kind of surprises me. I dont pay high prices I have enough but I have a buddy that buys almost all he can and he has the money to do it and he told me he has looked almost everywhere and it isn't in stock at hardly any price. IDK like I said I don't need anything right away. It is getting crazy and my guess is it won't get better anytime soon.

One of my patients owns a little gun store up here and he said he could finally find some at $1 a round. So he had to mark it up a little bit just to make a small profit. I think the only way prices will ever come down or at least stop jumping is when it gets expensive enough that no one will buy it, until that day we are in for an expensive 4 years. The crazy thing is if I lived down there I would probably pick this up because I did well with .22 in the past but not .223

I actually could care less either way EXCEPT a couple out loud thoughts. 1. I hate more regulations......if the deer #s are on the decline how about some sound management and limit the amount of tags not how someone hunts. ( that can be another discussion.) 2. I am very hit and miss personally with how many cameras i have up but I have only 1 time hunted over a spot i had a camera. Funny thing is a buck i killed was not on the camera but I took a live picture when i glassed him up before the hunt started... I absolutely love to see pictures of wildlife....trail cams are pretty dang cool...just look at some of the pictures people have shared over the years. I almost exclusively use cameras within a couple miles of my home to give me something to do during the summer before antlers are big. 3. It will hurt the "weekend warrior" long before it hurts the guides and outfitters. They spend enough time they will still get it done. I kind of like the idea of less cameras and maybe wished they had some regulation not just a complete ban. My .02

Awesome. I remember you being in 36a years ago when i hunted it a lot... Sure crazy thinking of all that has happened since those days.

Thanks guys it is always fun hunting with your family. Funny story is that he runs cross country and track and he talked a little smack about this ol man keeping up with him. Little did he know that I am still in decent backpacking shape and since I was splitting the load up I made sure to load him up a little heavier than I normally would.
