Saunders cabin?

Perfect!

Wouldn't say anything to you in a PM that I wouldn't say here or sitting around a camp fire...I said I enjoy horse trading banter for a reason....I wasn't concerned...I was just yanking your chain about her...wasn't meant to be personal...I'll use italics for sarcasm next time... I was truly interested in seeing her foals and knowing if she was N/N for HYPP because I do know people looking for mares that will produce color... Happy Trails...

Oh good...not concerned...It was a question...I have people ask me if I know of any horses for sale all the time... Appreciate the offer...but horses with awful looking feet and cheap horses are that way for a reason...and are not worth the time or effort JMO

+1 Being that she is "Impressive" bred is she negative for the HYPP gene?

Yea! It can be fun...depending on which side of the trade you're on...Because I like good horse trading banter...what about the leggy blonde...So she is 7 and just started under saddle? How do you know she can jump a 5' fence? Can she do it with an elk on her? Lol

Good ol horse trading...cracks me up... "Impressive" bred horses are concidered impeccable? interesting

Yea I've been up there 6 times in the last 10 years or so...That can be a tough elk hunt as it starts the same time as the archery deer hunt...if you never experienced it...it can be a zoo...but the elk are there...buddy killed a 380+ on the early rifle hunt a few years ago

What hunt Did you get? We got archery deer tags there

I shoot an 80lb compound and I footed my VAP 250s after splitting a handful of them...never had a problem after...I came up with this idea...and had a buddy make them for me

Planning on doing a solo pack in hunt this fall...I've never done it and gotta get it off the bucket list...Am going to go as light as possible...cause I'm coming out heavier! My question is for the $$ what are the lightest/best stoves and water purifiers out there? What would be your suggestions/recommondations for sleeping set ups pad/tent vs hammmocks pros & cons?

Thank for the replies so far...It will be an October hunt...around 4000'...planning on going in 5 or 6 miles...and staying 3 or 4 days... I can always build a fire but...how many hours/minutes do the fuel cans last? ...Whats the best dried food?

What do you think?

We should all just hold hands and walk through the forest together...

Don't buy a be the decoy...I have one...you can use it if you want to Used a cow made out of a sheet of plywood too.. a litte cumbersome ...but it made a great shade!!...you can alway ditch it and go back and get it!

Thanks for the replies...My phone pictures don't do him justice...he looks even better in person...Marc Plunkett knocked it out of the park with this one...truly an amazing piece of art work

Rode bareback horses for 12 years...loved it...craved it...miss it...Been 5 years since I've been on one...kinda craving it again...probably just like riding a bike...right? jgraffaz...If you do go get on one...Take it seriously and have somewhat of a clue of whats going on BEFORE you go...and If it gets in your blood there is nothing else like it...

Guess 2014 was my lucky year...Drew tag #14 for an early archery bull hunt and tag #14 for a late rifle whitetail hunt...Spent more time in the field than I did working or at home it seems...I had high hopes...Discovered and explored tons of new country...had many ups and downs...made many diffucult decisions...learned alot...and had good friends and family to share it all along the way with...this is how it all turned out... I had never even hunted in this unit before...Thanks to all who offered and gave advice...saw tons of bulls...One day I had 20 different 6×6s 50 yards or less it was crazy...Ended up sneeking in and killing this bull at 10 yards on the 12th day of the hunt...He is my biggest bull to date...Hope I don't have to wait another 12 years to do it again! I had 14 days to hunt for my coues hunt...from what I saw the rutting was nonexistent...bucks were still hanging out together...saw 20-30 deer a day...averaged 6-8 bucks...Ended up passing the buck I put in for this hunt for at 125 yards...he is a great buck...most likely 7-8 years old probably past his prime...but I don't know...I didnt want to shoot him...anyhow ended up killing this buck on the second to last day at 750 yards...My longest one shot kill to date! Then to start the year off I killed my first javelina with my colt .45...We hunt this herd of pigs every year and for the last few years we've been hard on the sows...so I told my dad I wasn't going to shoot one unless I was 100% sure it was a boar...it was pretty fun to seek in and get that done... And while we were glassing for javelina I glassed up a fox about 300 yards away...started queeking at him with my mouth and he came on a string and less than a minute later I shot him at 20 feet with the colt .45...fun stuff!

Great pictures!!...looks like we may have been in the same area...lol...took some pics off my video...just curious if you got any pictures of these last two bulls?

Went up scouting for elk this weekend...wasn't to concerned about hunting deer because I have a late whitetail tag...But I wasn't that happy I left my bow at home when I saw this guy...ugh

PM sent

Lol...Guess I'll just have to wing it

Maybe you guys need to try some of this?.... What road was that again?

What section of road is that? I may need to drive down it in a few days...I am not opposed to shooting a 370 bull on the road...

Instead of wraps you can use a piece of reflective tape..make them what ever size you want...few bucks a roll at walmart or checker...easy to find at night with a flash light too...
