  1. I have to agree with Mr. Quimby here, I would be making a serious run at them little dwarf deer. That is a great buck and was a lot easier to pack to the truck, and if the truck was too far you could sit down, light a fire and eat him up. I tend to lean towards non-typical game when given the chance.

    Mule Deer Bucks

    nice buck if you are on the youtube page check out the whitetail vs mule deer video - if the little one doesn't bring a smile there may be something wrong with you.

    Looking For Youth 243

    start hitting pawnshops, if you find one you like come back a week later with a bore light and check out the bore, haggle on the price, you should never pay what the sticker says in a pawnshop.

    You Decide...

    pertaining to how deer react from long range shots - rifle or bow - which scares you worse, someone whispering BOO in your ear from 3 feet away you didn't know was there or someone a long ways off yelling BOO.

    Ethics in Hunting and in Life!

    When we cover ethics in our Hunter Ed classes is tell kids there is an easy way to decide if something is ethical or not - would you be proud to tell your Grandmother the story, if not you probably shouldn't do it.

    Your Glassing setup!

    I like 8's around my neck, 15's on a tripod with a pistol grip and a good quality spotter for the few times I need to check something out. I have a cheap fleece blanket and/or old throw pillow to sit, I put a scarf over my head to block sun or wind. When you buy glass hold out for lifetime warranty grades, stuff happens. I need a different tripod, mine is not tall enough for me to stand and glass with.

    Pack Rat in action

    we had one in Wy that would trade horse turds for horse cubes if you left a couple out......I think he thought it was a very good trade.
  9. Ilene, that one joke wasn't at your expense, it was so if someone asks you "Ilene who" you have a ready answer for them.

    Feral hogs in Arizona

    haven't looked into it to find out the particulars so this may be BS. Heard you can't use a gun in the wildlife refuge by Havasu, archery only and have to have a valid tag for other big game in your pocket so you can't just go anytime you feel like it. Same for BANWR down by the border, I know 'tag for other big game' is valid info for the BANWR. There are wild hogs by Chevlon Canyon, San Manuel, Cordes Jct and Havasu.

    hi cap mags being banned

    didn't take long for that to come out. Let's make a new law to impact law-abiding folks, criminals will continue to do as they please. I have come to the conclusion is is how you die that counts. The day after the Tucson shootings there were 10 people that died in a crash on the Pacific Coast Hiway and multiple folks injured. The only thing you saw about that was a short line on CNN under the commentator, and only for a few hours. Never saw anything about it on other channels either. If the pinhead shooter had run a monster truck into the crowd I wonder if there would be a push to eliminate big trucks. Just me getting cynical in my old age.......

    Need a rifle

    I have a Rem Mod 724 in the safe in .244rem that has been the rifle for a lot of kills for kids and women. While Rem hasn't made it in years I have seen them for sale at gun shows and occasionally in a pawn shop. Another is the Rem Mod 600 Mohawk, never shot it, ran into folks in the field with them that liked them and they fit kids. An alternative is to look at some of the single shots available, come in kids sizes and you can buy barrels to give them a shotgun and muzzle loader option to boot.

    White Tanks

    closest I am aware of are on Saddle Mtn, some farther west in the Bighorns too - lions are being real hard on that herd.

    Specific Exercises and Nutrition

    I put on a 40 to 50 lb pack and do 3 miles at a fast pace every morning, shoot for 40 minutes or less. Have to be able to pass a pack test every year to work wildland fires, test is 45 lbs, 3 miles, 45 mins or less. This keeps me in shape for hunting season. Diet is pretty much wild game and fresh vegetables with an occasional fat pill thrown in (cookie, cakes, chocolate, etc)

    hunter safety

    he can apply for a hunt, has to complete the course before the hunt and carry the card in his pocket while on the hunt, hope that helps
