Thanks guys, Now I need to get drawn for 36C December so I can try and kill one State side.

Well, I just got back from my San Carlos hunt and had a blast. I was fortunate enough to take this buck on opening day. With his one bladed beam and his beams almost touching I could not let him go. I stalked up to 225 yards and let the old 7MM Dakota bark. I helped the other guy I was with the rest of the time and he missed one monster. Definetly bigger than my 109 on the wall. I ended up killing my buck this year about 30 yards from where I killed my 109 2 years ago. I also saw 3 mountain lions. One solo and two together. I got a good picture through the scope of the single. Thank the good lord for the outdoors and the fun we have in it.

Here is the two close ups I took today and my buck. Congrats Dewy is that the buck you were after. He is a beaut. -
Thanks guys. They gave us a lion tag for free but that lion was 2 miles out and I only had 30 minutes of light left. The two together were a mile and disapeared into a huge thick drainage. I would have loved to have take one of those cats.

R-100 around Barlow pass.

What an awsesome story. That should be published in a magazine. Congrats to all.

You can buy them in the mail, but the people that are in line get the first option. If there are any left after the people in line get through then they go to the mail and faxed applications.

1-3-07 Wed. That is tentative. They haven't even solidified it yet. Nothing like waiting until the last minute. I already have my R-100 tag for 1-6-07 in my pocket. I am pumped up to say the least.
-
Yeah, that would be him. They killed one Saturday and one on Sunday.

I did the same thing and ended up selling the 2200 and buying the eberlestock xproject pack. The 2200 does not have near the pockets that other packs have. It is an awesome pack and very comfy but I like to keep my stuff more organized with all kinds of stupid pockets.

Two friends of mine were hunting in 36C this weekend and they said there was no sign of the rut yet. They each killed a lion though. I thought that was cool. They saw three lions and killed two of them.
-
That is awesome. I know John Chilton well and they are a great family. Score one for the good guys.
-
I will pray for you and I hope you get well soon.

I just got back from Kansas with my first eastern whitetail. What an awesome trip. I had a blast, saw some great country, had a great hunt and brought home a nice buck. I killed it in Ashland, KS on Saturday 12-9 at 7:30AM. I was in a treestand using my 7MM Dakota and he came chasing a doe at 150 yards. I could not pass him up. I hope you enjoy the pics.

It was a lot different hunting there. I lovre to glass a lot and there was not a ton of glassing going. The deer numbers were not as high as I thought but there were a lot of quality bucks. The coues hunting is a lot more difficult, but they are both feakin fun.

I am very interested in the quad. Where do you live and how can I get a hold of you. Thanks

I believe that if it is within the law then it can be seen as ethical. I can see two sides to the stroy. On one side it takes away from the superman, unbelievable hunter image that Mr. Ulmer has brought upon himself. He has put everything that is worthy of bragging about out in the public eye for everyone to see. He is doing what we all love to do is brag. After seeing one monster after another people begin to put him up on a pedastol. I would think that would make him want to strive to put bigger and better monsters that would bring his career and reputation to a higher level. In striving for the higher level the man is using some modern technology to get there. I do not know if I see it as cheating or if I see it as taking advantage of the technolgies we have and becoming the ultimate hunter. Either way he is still stalking and killing these monsters with a bow and that is a feet in itself. OH Yeah and don't be talking about Chuck Adams either. They are both great archers and hunters. My 2cents.
-
Was this a San Carlos buck? I talked to a buddy of mine that guides up there and he was saying a guy killed a monster in unit C. That thing is unbelievable. Congrats again on a magnificent buck.
-
I am headed to Kansas in 2 weeks for a rifle whitetail hunt. It was suppose to be a bow hunt but the rancher bought the wrong tag. It is near Ashland as I understand and they usually only allow bowhunters on the ranch. I am pumped. Good luck on your hunt.

I busted my butt to get my biggest Muley yet. I got him 11-11 about 3:00. One of my greatest hunts yet. I hope you enjoy the pics.

Pit Bar B Que, or clean them up really well and throw them on the grill and then go eat your tree out back.

I had walked into a knoll about 4 miles from any roads to set up and glass. I had been seeing alot of sign in the area and although there were a lot of people, 95% of them would only get out of the Jeep to get a beer. I was glassing for an hour when I finally picked out a buck about a half a mile away. I made a 2 mile circle around to get down wind. Well needless to say I ended up losing that deer. I was disapointed but the deer was not all that big. So I proceed to walk back to my spotting scope on the hill. I am about 500 yards from my scope when I lock eyes with this buck. He jumps up and starts running about 150 yards. I tried to stop him to no avail. I put the cross hairs right on the front of his chest and squeezed. The 7MM Dakota put him in the dirt in a hurry. That is when I made a specticle of my self by yelling and screaming. I finally got him packed out and I will take him up to Mogollon taxidermy this weekend. The lesson learned this trip is don't always focus way far away. Sometimes they are closer than you think.
