Jazz, you may want to check the regs. Most of the time, drones are illegal for scouting.

9" bases....86"

Intherut....I thank you for your service and, know how this has to be very hard to know you have held a primo tag for months then, find out you can't go. I would like to send you a check to cover your tag fees. Please PM me where I can mail a check. Thanks again, Garth

By showing that last buck, I know what unit you have a tag in...good luck, Great unit and great hunt!

That is my stand and plan on using it in September.

My app only showed unit 9 archery so, that's what I did. Bogus points for antelope.

Why cant G&F be proactive and take out the lions BEFORE the sheep are transplanted. Thousands of $ are spent on these projects and everybody feels like they accomplished something. Why did the sheep disappear from the Catalinas in the 90s? Maybe that should have told them something. A few years ago, G&F did an antelope transplant from 19A to the strip and one buck was, if I remember right, over 88". Instead of closing this unit for a year and letting the buck get established and go through one rut, the buck was killed by a hunter about 3 months after he was transplanted. Makes no sense....

Sent u a PM

ThomC, You do know G&F monitors the hunting sites, right?

Looks like the old Snuffers. The width of the blades are way to flimsy to go thru any heavy bone and survive.

It aint over till the fat lady sings...there is a criminal investigation, the family will sue the deputy and the county. And, it is very hard to make a snap decision with yer mind full of adrenaline and trying to anticipate his next move....I would guess how that guy withstood the beanbags and taser, his mind was influenced by too much of something. I used to live about a block from where this happened. His family will declare he was giving up and was doing nothing wrong...probably even say the police were harassing him, but, how did he get in that situation in the first place?

Years ago, I used to catch rattlers, cut their spine thru their mouth and, trade them for taxidermy work. Well, once when I was driving, I found a nice coontail crossing the highway and, I cut his spine but, didn't have a bag to put him in so, I just threw him in the console of my Bronco. When I got home, I opened the console and my friend started to look in. All at once, I heard the familiar rattle and immediately shut the lid. My friend looked at me and his eyes were as big as baseballs. That was a neat experience getting that mad snake out of there..

Just make yer own...some carpet, old shoes and, shoe goo.

Reading these brought back a lot of memories.... One time I was sitting a dirt tank for coyotes in 37B and watched a big ol' bull saunter in to get a drink. As he did he went into the water so his shoulders were just above the water. When he decided to leave, he couldn't pull his front feet out of the mud and he started lunging to get them free. As he did this, he stumbled and fell. The bull was thrashing the water so much, there were pretty big waves. He never got to his feet and drowned right there. Another time, a friend, my youngest son and I were near 7 springs and found a cow buried in the mud and could not move. We tried everything but, finally had to throw a tow strap around her chest and drag her out with the truck. I was afraid we were gonna pinch her with the strap and cave her ribs in but, she walked off without a care in the world. One time another friend and I went to check a G&F drinker. This drinker is on top of a mountain and takes a while to drive to. After we stopped and crossed the fence, we started seeing bones. Then found a deer fawn laying dead in the trail. The smell of death was everywhere as we walked around. In all we found 12 lion killed deer, most partially buried under the trees and bushes.

Its a lot easier on you when u fall out of a chair in the blind than when u fall out of the treestand...

If you care about score, it will disqualify any animal shot while it is on the bow.....

The meat seeker head is no good for hunting large game. I had a friend shoot 2 does in ND last year with them. Even though both were hit in the vitals, neither left a blood trail. WE found the 2nd one the next day and the exit hole was the size of a dime and the blood never reached the bottom of the chest. You can still get the Steelheads on Ebay.

You guys are just givin' G&F more ammunition fer their fight with us soon.

And that stuff doesnt get in the way when shoot yer bow??

Unit 23, the Sierra Anches Wilderness has some great area. There are waterholes starting about 1/2 mile in on the south side. remember, August is a hot time so take lots of water.

I got this pic and the date was correct. Plus, I found the shed antler about 15 yards behind where he is standing.

What a great buck and you should be proud you didnt shoot it under a feeder

Redbeard, what is the exact wording that makes animals taken using radios ineligible? If I remember correctly, (and it has been about 10 years) it states that no electronic device can be used in aiding of taking of an animal. If that is true, then electronic callers, feeders, rangefinders, any type of vehicle, ie; ultralights, trailcams, nightvision, etc. would fall into this category. Basically, if it takes batteries, the animal would not qualify. Also, I was told a few years back, that the P&Y ruling stated that no electronic devices could be attached to the bow. So, any that were not attached were ok. You stated that if people didnt talk about using radios during their hunt, they knew it was unethical. Look at all of the publicity that baiting has gotten on the this and other forums in the past couple of years and, guess what G&F is trying to make illegal now? Simply because we made them aware of how popular it is. I feel if someone comes onto an open forum and, lays it all out for people to read, then they are cutting theirs and their fellow hunters throats. Rip me a new one, I'm waiting........
