DEERSLAM

Happy Birthday Hope you have a great day and God bless.

Howdy tkknc, My pack of choice is the Eberlestock Just One. It's a great pack with lots of space for your gear, spotting scope, tripod, hydration system etc. Then after you wack your buck the center compartment of the pack opens up and becomes a great place to haul out your meat. Oh and I forgot it has a rifle scabbard so you can go hands free.

Cool pics Some of those deer look a little skinny. Hope you all get some rain soon.

Well I picked her up on Tues. I'll try to get a pic up asap.

We always try to help the client get everything out of a hunt, not just the killing part, but the whole experience. I'll have them help me glass, teach them some tricks, hike them in a little farther so they feel like they hunted hard and in the end they are leaving with more than just the rack. I think some of those Auction tag holders never experienced any of that and most don't even care to. I even try to have clients come out a day or two early to scout with me and to hike around without the pressure of a valid tag in their pocket, I feel they have a chance then to soak it all in, making the experience that much richer. Running an outfitting business the way we do, will probably never make me much money, BUT, I will feel better about what I do! Jim, I like the way you think. I wish all outfitters thought like you. You are already a rich man, just in a different way

Am I losing it or did we lose a bunch of posts, like Ernestos half a fox, COOSEFANS pic of his wife and her bull elk, etc. What's up?

Amen

On another note, I have seen where wealthy "Hunters" have bought some of these tags and payed an outfitter to scout for months. When the outfitter has the animal patterned on it's summer or wintering grounds he makes the call to the "Hunter" who flys in the night before and goes out and "shoots" the animal the next morning. What kinda crap is that! That in no way is HUNTING!

I personally don't like em. I would be more than willing to pay a little extra on my tag and license fees to make up for the money those "special tags" generate. Or even do them all on a raffle basis so that everyone, not just the wealthy, can have a chance at them.

I shoot a custom built 7stw on a Rem. 700 action. It's very fast and flat shooting. It's also fairly heavy but I just put it in the back scabbard on my Eberlestock back pack. You will also want to shoot a well constructed bullet. I've been very happy with the rifle and the cal.

WOW that's twisted

Thanks Doug, I can get alot of info from that site

Nice mixed bag Look like Mr. Yote was posing.

Done deal. Did em the first day they were available online. And don't worry about this nonresident taken any of your precious tags I had to buy points, no vacation time this year

My gosh! I seen pics of some garbage down there before but that is, is, is

Good looking hog DesertBull, congrats Did you see any elk or deer while you were there? Do they have high fence hog hunts in CA.?

Ah, Scottyboy I knew you would come through. Very nice collection Here a couple pics of one of my favs. My Dad took this Muskox this past Aug. on Victoria Is.

How big of a pack are you looking for?

Great bucks coueselk Keep them pics coming. Scottyboy how bout some pics of your critters. You must have had some of them mounted, right?

Awesome pics coueselk. Where did you take them?

My bro has the Browning A-bolt stainless stalker in 7 mag and loves it. He's a lefty also.

Awesome buck thunderbolt! Gotta love that mass and character. Thanks for sharing

Sounds like they need a culling program, alittle wackem and stackem

Jim, When do you get your bucks back? Looking foward to seeing pics. Are you doing one of the MX bucks for the pedestal mount or you AZ buck? Looking foward to some more pics of mounts or trophy rooms, don't be shy boys and girls any animal taken is something to be proud of
