Welcome GHsFG!

Never mind...............they were up to $28,000.......I quess it was a mistake.

'deed' I bet. Bill, it seems as if you took the bighorns buddy. Great stories everyone!

DON'T ASK TYSON WHAT HE SAW, YOU WILL REGRET IT! YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW!!!

Great looking Bull, congrats!! Did you happen to snap a pic of the neck?? Could you see the arrow?? Wounds are very interesting to me and especially how he survied it!

Think yards per gallon Sorry I could not resist. I need a truck just like that........................but not for a few years.

Very happy for you and even happier that you do well with the tags you get. But remember the 'crap' that you get is only 'crap' because you have the tag in your pocket . Good luck!

Very cool to see the progression. He looks like he will have some wicked 'devil points' Thanks, keep us posted.

My wife is a big packer too! It is us two and our 3 year old and she still fills up a full size SUV. Where do you do stay over night?

The guy behind the Visa counter at the "21" one time saw inside my little travel pouch and saw and expired Visa and gave me a hard time about it, even threatened not to give me another one. I said, "Fine no one has ever asked to see it before anyways so what is the point in getting one to begin with" . He laughed and said OK, OK next time bring it back here BEFORE it expires. So........I stopped getting them. Seriously, I had NEVER been asked for it. Yes, returning of the permits has always been a pain. The whole permit deal was set up to combat car importers and car thiefs at the request of, poiltically motivated by money, new car dealers. The reason you had to go see the head honcho was because the word was you could give one of returning agents $100 and magiclly your car was returned. FINALLY Sonora realized that it was losing millions of tourist dollars because of the horror stories that Muledeer33 was thinking about. Now Sonora, the governor mostly, is making it very easy for us to go have a great time and leave all are money there and then come home. A VERY large part of the hotels, beaches and the tourism industry is owned by the Governor and his cohorts so tourism wins............for now.

I travel to Hermosillo about 6-8 times a year for the last 13 years, the last two times was in June and July. I was lucky enough to go to San Carlos and Kino Bay via Hermosillo. I have a few points to add......A stop at the "21" kilometer marker south if the border for us gringos WAS required for the Mexican tourist Visa, it is not required any more. Sonora FINALLY became a "libre" (free) state some time this year. Heading south of the border via Nogales is just like going south from Lukeville to Rocky Point. Permits for your self are not required nor are they required for your vehicle. There is a deal where you have to drive (slowly) thru a stop light looking deal that will flash green=go or red stop for a customs check. Customs will be intrested to see if you have anything that has greater than $300/person that you have to sell, NOT your personal items. Some times they might ask for proof of ownership of vehicle to fight the profesional car thiefs. Traveling south out of the state of Sonora WILL require a tourist Visa and permits for your vehicle. The vehicle's permit does have some fee that have to be charged to a credit card, not debt card. I don't remember how much the fees are since it has been years that I have traveled out of Sonora. The $20 fee for your Visa that you have to pay at a goverment bank will make it valid for 6 months. When I used to have to get a tourist Visa I NEVER paid the $20 fee. Even when I went 3 times in one month I would toss the previous Visa and fill out a new one because technically if you paid the $20 you had to return the Visa back to the place where you got it before the 6 month expiration date. The tolls are worth it. As you are heading south on I-19 exit Mariposa road turn right(west) and it will take you directly to the border, put gas at the Shell station 500 yards before the border. As soon as you cross look for the toll road and AVOID the LIBRE(non toll road) because it will take you into Nogales, Sonora. It is a bit confusing but you can ask any one there where the "caseta"(toll road) is. It only cost 35 pesos and it will put you back on the main "carretera #15" (highway) on that side of the airport. Best of all you avoid all of Nogales Sonora because is a BIG HEADACH. Anyways, Nogales Sonora toll costs 35 pesos, Magdalena toll is 20 pesos, and the toll 10 miles before Hermosillo is 80-90 pesos. I would recommend not to try and 'bypass' Hermosillo. It is not worth taking the "Periferico". The city has grown so much it is more trouble than it is worth. You will be heading south on "carretera #15" (highway) and when you arrive to Hermosillo and hit the first light just continue straight. That same boulevard is "carretera #15". If you don't turn at any lights you will head straight out of town toward San Carlos. Besides there are plenty of Pemex's and resturants to eat at in Hermosillo. Plenty of american fast food joints for those non-adventurous eaters on that same boulevard.

I will still be in school. I will say that Oct is the BEST time of the year to head down to the beaches of Sonora. I really wish I could take you up on that deal...........

So......am I correct in ASSuming that a regular 12V charger will charge the 2 6V batteries??

I would recommend the Interbond not the SST. The SST is comparable to the Nosler Balistic Tip. For big heavy Elk a bonded bullet will work better.

I will take a shot....................36C.....Kings Anvil ranch?? Nice pics.

I have tried lots of stuff and what seems to work best for me are the TC line cleaners. TC Number 13 bore cleaner and the Bore Butter are excellent. The cleaner works wonders and the Bore Butter is great for storing the rifle. Give it a try.

Cool deal! I love when the dear are all junk-ta-fided. If you had passed on him 4 times , I wonder what the other guy looked like?? Congrats

Jim Where in Mexico did you go??? Is there a nuclear waste dump site near buy?? Beauty of a buck!!

Hey Casey I would like to see that 'original' photos. I would like the broadhead performance. Maybe you could PM me. Thanks

I wanna see too!! I can not open the correl paint shop for some reason. Some one please post the pics???

That is a GREAT buck with a nice summer coat. I love how his face is dark and his body is light colored. You might think about donating you Dec tag to some of the oganizations around that help people with health problems..etc. It might be something to look into. Anyways CONGRATS!!!!!

Looks to me like there might be two different bucks. His sticker on the left side is forked and the shed looks like a point. I might be wrong but if I am not that means you have TWO different monsters to hunt.

Db!, You are going to let the ladies know the second reason why we spend so much on our binos.....................sssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
