cabin boy ? More like a cabin big foot

Heres a thought. I have used the term Eastern whitetail on many occassions, not because I didnt know there were differant sub species of whitetail but mainly to seperate them by location from the smaller western Coues whitetail deer. So I called them eastern whitetails due to their location. To us western boys the big whitetailed deer were predominantly known to live in the eastern states, and the smaller ones (coues) lived in small pockets of the west, it wasnt to many years ago that I first heard that whitetails were migrating into montana, and other places that surprized the heck outa me. guess its kinda like saying, you have eastern boys, western boys, southern boys, northern boys, big ones, small ones, fat ones skinny ones, their all of the human race but nick named to be classified by location. Now we will just have to clarify better, eastern whitetail, canadian whitetail, western whitetail? the big ones or the little ones? texas whitetail, and now New Mexico, WOW who wooda thunk

I watched 2 guys tryuing to load a elk into the back of a brand new truck once and they had taken the tail gate off alright, but were using it as the ramp, after they bent the tailgate in two, me and a buddy went over and loaded it in for them, the old fashioned way. seen lots a guys up here on the mountain with a small winch attached to the head ache rack on their truck for loading elk, seems to work really well. Last year I took a 6x7 in the archery hunt and the wife and I loaded it in the truck, had to cut it in half, left about 10 feet of my intestine and other body parts on the ground doin it, but we got it loaded. the set up in the video is defianantly cool...Dan

Hey I know how those Luna folks are, probably running around in shorts and a tank top

Dang you guys are all young bucks, except for Bill and Lark,(he he). I was 12 when I got my first deer, I remember going over to a service station with my dad and buying the tag over the counter for $1.00, the old metal tags that once you clipped them together you couldnt get them apart, some of you may remember them. Me, My dad and brother went up toward Alpine Az. and seen a bunch of does, I picked out a buck in the bunch but my dad and brother didnt see him, and I was to young to take the shot without dad tellin me to, he didnt want me to kill a doe by mistake, the deer ran off and thats when they seen the buck, I ran up the hill after them and caught up to them and shot my first buck a 4x4 muley with an old Marlin chambered in 256 Win, kilt him on the spot.

Whats a nose it?...I love lobster, send me some, but not the spam.

Lark...I remember those days and I was cold then to, If there was a elk hunt goin on and I had a tag id be out there. Ill call, but your finger will be froze in yer nose and you won't be able to answer anyway.

Wow... Awesome picture Coach...looks like winter has finally arived.

Lark you would think she would know and expect it by now, been going on for years.

Great Buck and Great story, thanks for sharing, and dont want to give Alan a big head but he is a pretty good guy......Dan

Congrats Luke and the rest of the party as well , nothin better than hunting with your kids and good friends.......Dan

Thought you gentleman might like to see what were getting in the Round Valley, lots of wind and some snow making big drifts, makes hunting Coyotes tough. Guess alot of the roads are closed around the state, Talk it up and let us know whats going on in your neck of the woods. Hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year........Dan

I like the fox pro spitfire idea, light weight and compact, but check out the Johnny Stewart line also, I got a buddy has one of them and they aint to bad for the money.

Got me an old Savage 99, its in really good shape, checked stock,24" barrel, counter on the side, chambered in 250-3000, near I can tell it was made around 1950, havent got to shoot it yet, but looking forward to when I can,been wantin one of these for a long time.
