TOBY

sprint has the best truly unlimited data plan and is cheaper. I would go sprint for city use and a prepaid verizon when you go out in the boonies. only buy a small amount since they expire if you dont use them. my .02

I would of hoped to see his boss give his opinion on this bill and possibly some other big names that take out $tags. I know how the average guide like TLH feel about this bill as do all the rest of us.

None of my business,but dont you work for one of the outfitters who guides most of the money tags? Of course you would support this bill it supports your bosses.

Somebody was gonna post this I know. Beat ya to it. Same crap Different state....AK Director and SFW Board Member Busted" Seems pretty easy to connect the dots of corruption in this case. AK Fish and Game Director, Corey Rossi, a founding board member of AK SFW got busted for some illegal bear hunting with his buddies from Utah. Evidently him being a guide and Director of AK F&G makes him above the law, in his mind. I remember SFW bragging that they got Rossi appointed as director as "A friend of Sarah." Sent the former director to a remote outpost, for no apparent reason, other than he wasn't one of their own. Link provided here about the charges against Director Rossi - http://www.adn.com/2012/01/12/2260922/wildlife-chief-charged-with-hunt.html Did a quick search of "Corey Rossi Don Peay SFW" and came up with this link below. Lots of links come up, but here is the first that Google gave. http://www.themudflats.net/2011/11/16/a-disaster-for-alaskas-department-of-fish-and-game/ The connection doesn't stop there. Mr. Rossi has been handing out Governors tags to his SFW buddies in Utah. The link below shows where 4 of the 11 AK governor's permits got handed over to SFW/SFH to be auctioned in UT next month. http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/static/license/huntlicense/pdfs/2012_winners.pdf And we always know that when the storm starts about SFW cronies, the "I don't know that guy" story will come forward. So, since we know there will be the same denial story here, as there was when SFW got caught trying to kill the MT and ID wolf seasons, I provide the link below to show that Mr. Rossi was thought of as one the political plants of SFW. Just read the column on the left of the page. http://mudflats.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/don-peay-_-rossi-appointment.pdf For those who don't want to download Mr. Peay's column at the link above, the part I refer to is provided here: "Many of our members are politically positioned to help SFW in the fight. Robert Espinosa, a founder of SFW New Mexico, was recently appointed by Governor Martinez to the New Mexico Game and Fish Commission. Corey Rossi, a founding member of SFW Alaska was appointed Game and Fish Director by Governor Parnell." And people wonder why the rest of the world is trying to clean the landscape of the pox that has been brought to us by SFW. I live in MT and spend way too much time in the State and Federal political battles fighting against SFW and their self-serving ideas. They have done nothing but try to screw the resident hunter in MT. And this week we find them trying to do the same to hunters in AZ and AK. And those in charge think we are dumb enough to believe "Each state SFW chapter operates indendently." Yeah, right. Anyhow, grab your popcorn and wait until the thread gets locked. "Hunt when you can - You're gonna' run out of health before you run out of money!"

my wife hunts with me sooo.... I am scouting for both of us Ace in the hole for me. Plus from february to august it's honeydo season,but after that..... Hey its worked for 19 years so far. I did leave one thing out....I actually communicate and talk with my wife about everything everyday,plus I dont drink or watch football or any other overpaid sport on the weekend.

My horn hunter curl combo(deception 3d) will be here this week just in time for piggies. I will pack out 2 different pigs with it opening day. On a side note I found a HH Mainbeam in original predator deception online for my wife. It will match all her custom sewn deception camo she made herself...as well as the rest of the family she makes as well.Will post a simple review after all is said and done.

People age beef because they have fat that breaks down. An animal with no fat is not going to get tender with age. That is why a choice beef tastes better than a range cow with no grain in it.We never aged game for the processor I worked for...only healthy fat beef. To each his own, everyone gets a different family tradition passed on to them. If it works for you....happy eating. Come on january...had a big bore at ten feet with my wife yesterday on film just wishing....

Great job. I thought the tag was signed over to you until I read the last post.Wow 15 and got drwan for sheep. Too bad you can't buy lottery tickets yet .

This year we started thin cutting the backstraps and panfrying them served with potatoes and gravy. I also cooked the tenderloins on the bbq with a little seasoning and was pleasently surprised. The rest we crockpot and shred into whatever sounds good or make brats out of. Take good care of it in the field is the key to any game meat. Having stinkpig for dinner tonight as a matter of fact.

Looking forward to your review and best of luck on your hunt. I think I found one in predator camo to boot.

BUMP. In the same boat. Have a 2200...dont like the fit. Also have a j34....good pack. Seen a couple of ok reviews on the hybrid curl,just not much out there for reviews.Have you put it to the test yet?

congrats to the young man. just did the same with my girl on a mule deer hunt last week.

Hello all. Been lurking for some time and finally joined.Awesome site. Some I recognize some not. I will ask this as a yes and no and feel free to even pm that answer. Have you seen a true couse in the last couple years in this area? I have lived and hunted the area my whole life and never have,but I hear that they have been spotted occasionally. Feel free to pm me with your answer as I personally would never give anything out on line. Just a simple yes(year?) or no with no details I would not expect anything else. Thanks for either. Happy Hunting.... TOBY Good luck to all 20c tagholders. I will be out there thru both hunts.

Hey there. I am new to the sight,but here is my.o2. Keep the ones you have and save for a couple years and buy a pair of swaros or the leicas duovids which let you do both 10 or 15 power.I was fortunate enough to scrounge and buy the 15 swaros, and now I despise looking through anything else. Vortex are good optics also.I have had my 10 42s a few years but sent them back to get focusing fixed(free lifetime warranty). The only difference that I find between my 10-42 swaros and the Vortex is the amount of focusing I do. It was put to me this way....15-56 swaros=2000 bucks(when i bought them).20 years of hunting=100 dollars a year on the best glass out there(imho). Make sure you look thru them! My wife cant look thru mine(eyes too close). Happy Hunting!
