Sprouts! Come on rain!

That main beam dropper is awesome thanks for sharing! Lance

people gota start putting warnings of snake pictures! They just creep me out! The picture of the quail is awesome!

We found where the birds were roosting! There is a handfull of huge pines and each has about 2" deap of turkey droppings under the trees! I have never seen roosts that were used so much!!! Younghunter and I hung out there in the evening but aparently they don't hang there every night. And if we ever found them there in the morning again we maped out a spot that we could sneek right up to the spot where they land after comming out of the roost! Oh well, just more antisipation for next year! Thanks for the comments! And thanks for letting me tag along guys! Lance

He had a 9 1/4" beard and big spurs! Congrats Jake! Younghunter did show up on Wednesday and we got into some good action with several birds but were not able to close the deal. But I'll let him tell that story if he wants.

After the tom stuck his head up and lowered his fan ever so nicely for us. This is when Jake touched off the trigger I swear the report of the shotgun echoed for 30 seconds or more!

This is the "Oh, you want me to put my fan down and stick my head up" pose We were much obliged

It looks like we will be there. Wy Wife, 2 boys and 2 girls and myself. Friday and Saturday. Anyone know when or if the elk calling contest will be? My kids are realy looking forward to it again! Lance

OH MY! It just keeps gitting better The action never stops! One life changing event after another! It reminds me of gitting my kids ready for school in the morning Lance

Nice! Congrats on a good bird and hunt! It's just too much fun isn't it Lance

Yes, it is final. I researched it and decided that there is just no perfict time/date for it. Turn's out I had some stuff going on on those dates also but I'll just change things and make it work. So yes! 8th & 9th of June on the Marshall Lake road. Still working on the fun details! Bring the family and frinds. FirstCoues- Tines might be comming up from Tucson. I'll check. He might have a car full of family. Make sure you have checked in hear on this thread if you plan to be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be counting the people that sign in on here and when you will be there to make final plans!!!!!!!! Lance

TTT just cause

Nice!

Neat pictures! Thanks for sharing. Very unique, I have never seen someone take that approach for placing a camera! Where do you find a $58. digital camera???? Lance

Not a cat. Cats make a scratch in the dirt. Josh/GRONG put some pictures of cat scratches on this sight somewhere a while back. Dogs like to go on top of things like that. What is in it? Lance

Add in some coyote howls or whines or whimpers. Use other calls other than just the rabbit. Curiosity calls and not just food calls. Lance

You may want to only shoot out to 300 or 400 yards but it is nice to know that he is 852 or 980 so you know how much closer you need to get. You can range closer ridges or points and subtract the difference. I'm looking to upgrade myself. Lance

It is sooo unsafe! Stay out of my spot, I meen that border country Actually, the fact that you carry an "Ultramag" should keep you safe! I just fire my 7mm RUM off early in the morning when everything is still, and it pritty much clears the unit of illegal activity! Certain areas have alot of traffic. Some areas don't have any. Don't put your tent or blind next to a 3 foot wide trail in a big saddle and thats half the battle! I do carry a side arm along with that rifle, but that is more of just a comfort for my mind sort of thing. I am only 6'4" 250# so you can see why I need the extra comfort Lance

OH YEAh! I have been calling coyotes sence I was ten years old! My dad is an old pro trapper from back in the day and tought me alot about coyotes ever sence I could walk! You could say I was raised on em! The first day my dad took me calling when I was ten I shot my first coyote with his open sight 22. My dad went to go get the truck and I took off to track the coyote that ran off after I shot it. I found him dead in his tracks after about 200 yards. That moment created a monster! By the time I was twelve I couldn't remember how many coyotes I had shot We hunt alot around Flag! But know this, there are alot of call shy dogs around Flag!!!!! If you are willing to go at least 40 min to an hour from town (depending on the direction) you can get into some good hunting. It's all about location and finding dogs that are not call shy. Summer dogs are not as hungry and can be harder to call, so you have to appeal to other things along with their stomach. Where abouts are you from? Lance

My sons did their sience projects for school on calling coyotes and fox. Best terrian for time of year climate conditions and such arround the Flag area. These are a couple of pictures we got while doing the research! The NON BLOODY ones we could include with the projects We got video of my 8 year old shooting at a fox with his bow! He was realy shook up and shot right between his legs

When are you comming? I'v been dying to get out in 8 and kill some of the birds I'v scouted out. My neice has a youth tag for 8 but it doesn't look like she is going to go "Tines" on here, has an 8 tag also. He keeps saying he's going to show but hasn't shown yet I'm sure he won't mind if you come and kill his bird for him. He needs to be shot cuz he's gitten old fat and lazy, and if he aint gona show then he can't complain if we shoot his bird

That is soo cool! I cant stand it! I got to get back out there! Whose got a tag

Can always tell when someones got a Hoochie. eeea eeea eeea eeea Realy, for the beginner or someone that doesn't care to much about the size of bull. 1- Find where the bulls are talking. 2- Find the two bulls that are calling the closest or realy close to eachother. 3- Ignore all other elk and get close to the two bulls. One of them is likely an agressive satellite bull and will come to your calls easer than most. WARNING! - Satellite bulls in the state of AZ are not always small and may humble your soul Good luck! Lance

I'm looking for a canoe. I don't know if I like the shallow design or not? Why are you selling it? Is it tipsy? I would be using it for lots of kids and don't know if the shallow type would be my first choice? Anyone have any thoughts on the subject? Lance

Nice peices and what a great story with video to boot! They are just too much fun arn't they!
