Yeah...especially Special K. I used to really like him and was glad to see him get elected due to common sense, then he did a complete 180 even before he decided to switch parties. Incidentally, I think if you're elected under one party and then switch parties you should forfeit the elected position. Sorry to sidetrack the thread...

Great idea...obviously depending on location for lots of us here. As far as a Bible goes, there are a lot of choices...this one was written by a high school friend of mine who has created a ministry around hunting with books, DVDs, and lots more. Highly recommend it...lots of nice devotionals with an outdoors/hunting slant to them. http://www.amazon.com/NIV-Outdoorsman-Bible-Jason-Cruise/dp/0310441692/ Updated 2/6...forgot about this book, also by Jason Cruise. The Heart of the Sportsman. I've read it several times and this thread got me thinking about it and will be reading it again very soon. http://www.amazon.com/The-Heart-Sportsman-Strategies-Thoughts/dp/0805430946 Jason's ministry site.. http://www.outdoorministrynetwork.com/ Surrounding yourself with like-minded folks for accountability and motivation is a great idea. Thanks for posting the thread..lots of great comments here.

Welcome...nice mulie.

Well if you count a few years I took off hunting due to college and work, I'm looking at about 19 year slump. Just started back hunting seriously 3 or 4 yrs ago though. Still looking for first blood since starting back. I agree with the recommendation of trying somewhere else as a sort of batting cage approach I you can afford it or have access. Considering a roadtrip this Fall to hunt my uncle's farm back east if elk and antelope fall through.

Where are you located? Regarding the electric, is it wired and the battery not set up? Hookups for water and electric? Thanks!

Really cool seeing the coues next to the eastern whitetails...

That's a nice welcome back to AZ. you've been getting it done! Congrats!

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

I have the mid-weight too. Agree you should practice with them. A buddy learned that the hard way, but luckily at the range when his release went off mid-draw.

Looking at late rifle hunts this year with some buddies who don't bowhunt...aside from the obvious differences involving rut vs post-rut, lack of bugling, etc how are the hunts different? Are the elk generally in the same areas or have they moved during the late rifle hunt? I know it's a very different hunt, but just wondering if the same areas that I'm familiar with for Sept hunting would hold elk later... Thanks!

Thanks. Half our group are new to elk hunting, so we'll be leaning more toward meat and looking for volume of elk vs trophies.

Congrats! awesome! That was awesome to see in the paper...reminded me of growing up in TN where half the sports section was hunting and fishing photos and reports. First thing that went through my mind though was that the photo was going to offend a bunch of lefties in Tucson...the letters to the editor I've seen in response are just plain annoying and typical ignorance about how terrible hunting is and how the parents should be ashamed. We should all send in response letters explaining how hunting actually helps the management of these beautiful creatures and has improved their numbers over the years. Not that it would do any good at swaying the opinions. Sorry to side-track the thread...

Congrats! Javi-planking...that's awesome!

Updating the thread with a photo of the skull...turned out great!

Piece of cake on iPad...went to link and click the menu button at top (mail, message, bookmark,etc...) next to the bookmarks and cloud in safari. Then click add to home screen...

Have a buddy who was selling one a while back...I think he still has it. I'll find out.

Awesome buck and great video as always. You guys know how to get it done! Congrats!

Wow...didn't know you could do that...

Great video! Thanks for sharing...

Exactly where I am right now...going back and forth between a new unit with better draw odds and a more competitive unit that I'm familiar with...

Wow...good spot. I'm sure I'd have missed it.

Much better than unused exercise equipment!

Awesome...thanks for sharing.

hmmmm....I only see one green one and it's moving around and whenever I click on it, it says it's yours...do you keep changing your location? Green icon with an F appears to be friends...
