Hey I saw my second ever CWT.com sticker today! It was Cramerhunts and I blew by you on the 101 today headin North, I think you got off on Camelback, that was about when I past you and then I tried to slow down but you disappeared. I didn't think to honk until it was too late, I was runnin late for an appt. and is why I was drivin like a maniac! Cool to see another sticker finally, JIM>

Hey Shortypants, if dads in camp.......promise me you'll put some pants on. He thinks you kicked that habit last year when all that horrible stuff happened.

I think it would be an awesome challenge to take the .357! If you kept the shot around 20 yrds, a .357 w/hot loads will have no problem deflating both airbags on a broadside Coues Best of luck to ya if you take it on! JIM>

" As far as the name SHORTPANTS, I am legally considered a dwarf and I usually don't wear any pants. Usually nobody says anything because I'm a minority and I can do whatever I want!" .....He usually gets huge tips from clients cause' of this!......"sympathy tips"

All I know as far as deductions is after I bought several paintings at a banquet, all I could write off was the amount that I spent "OVER" fair market value. I could not write off what the item was worth, just what I presumably spent over and above what the item cost normally. Maybe that's changed recently? JIM>

I've got 2, NM Unit 15, Muzzy Bull tags in the rut still available, if you really want to go kill a nice Bull? Kinda pricey, but we have to eat them if we don't sell them! PM me if interested, JIM>

CONGRATS to Deerslam and KGAINES for being the newest members of the 1000 posts club! That ranking just branded them as being, "Certified.....COUESWHITETAIL.com......JUNKIES!

Ditto! Thanks, JIM>

You know what? I just checked the overall top 10 poster list....and Deerslam is, without a doubt, the "poster child" for a "CouesWhitetail.com Junkie"! He made it to the "1000" club in 13 months! Everyone else has been here since 03'! What a LOSER!......... I'm seriously just kidding Mike! We'd be lost without ya! JIM>

Heck yeah Ernesto! That "1000" club is growing fast and you deserve to be there Ernesto! Congrats! JIM>

My .02 worth.......I have always thought the Corner staff were a bunch of nice people, and they are, it would be sad to lose any small huntin shops due to Cabelas being here. If I were to have work done on my bow, I would have Archery Headquarters do it without hesitation, great guys as well and very knowledgeable. Hey Bowsniper, were you on the radio this morning with Jim Solomon? My dad was on the radio right after a guy from your archery club was on there. The guy from your club was talking about the upcoming seminar with Corky and it sounds like a great deal and very informative! My dad was also talking about a seminar with the AES this Sat. just trying to get the word out. He posted a little snippet about it and the contact info in the "Wildlife Projects" discussion forum, that would be a good place for your info as well? Thanks, JIM>

That surprises me you have only seen doe's. I think I've seen more bucks (coues bucks) within the city limits of Payson, than I have outside city limits! Some have even been big bucks and tend to have a "no fear" mentality also. I would just get out and start humpin' the hills lookin for sign, you'll start narrowing down your search and will end up with some good spots, you actually don't have to travel far at all! Good luck, JIM>

I just can't believe a Coues fell for that? An Elk, yeah....but a Coues? C'mon....his other Coues buddies must have pushed him in as a prank or the Elk wrestled him into the trap, that has to be how it happened JIM>

That's one less Bear that can eat me in a couple weeks! JIM>

dang, I don't know if I'm more impressed with the buck or how GREEN it is where you were at! That buck will be a toad! JIM>

Hey Doug, PM sent. Thanks for all you do here, can't wait to start seein' the pic's of the entries! I will donate a full camo outfit: hat, button-down shirt and 6-pocket pants, it will be in Kings camo patterns, and your choice of Desert Shadow, Mountain Shadow or Snow Shadow. Thanks, JIM>

21,22 and 23 as well.

You must have already fixed the scroll problem cause' it works great for me, no scroll. Great job Bass, that's really helpful to alot of poeple! I self taught myself a year ago how to post pic's and what a nightmare that was, especially when you don't know much about computers! This would have helped me a bunch! Thanks, JIM>

................in my DREAMS! Still just killin' time, this is the buck I killed last year on the early hunt, I was bored a while ago and turned my little 2 point into the buck of my dreams! This is the buck our newest member, Shortpants, is gonna glass up for me this year! JIM> again......this IS photoshopped!

dang, I just read through all the reply's and read Deerslams whole procedure and was feeling pretty stoopid! I have never even thought much about breaking-in a rifle, but have been told to clean it alot when shooting it the first couple of boxes. I had a brand new gun last year and when shooting it the first time, I would clean it after every 3 rounds, mainly to give the barrel a chance to cool down because I was sighting it in at the same time. Mr. Quimby made me feel alot better though with his ideas on break-in, but I really like a clean gun, so I'll just find a happy medium here and go with that. Great info from everybody, I learned something today! JIM>

How does somebody go about getting information for San Carlos. This link will get you most of what you need to know, calling them is a better way! JIM> http://www.sancarlosrecreationandwildlife.com/

I have very little knowledge about 12B, but I do know that alot of big bucks are killed off waterholes on that hunt and even the later hunt. I don't have the patience to sit a waterhole, but appearantly for some reason, it works well for the guys I know that have hunted there. Just get a good map showing the tanks, and get up there and find which are getting hit the hardest and which have a good vantage point over looking the tank and possibly the surrounding area. This would be good to do now, and best to do right before the hunt to find out which tanks are still getting hit to narrow down which one to hunt near or on. Best of luck, JIM>

leave it up to Shortypants to make a funny! JIM>

"I just live by this motto... if I die tomorrow, at least I'll die knowing that I didn't go through life saying I wish I could do this or that, or I'll do that someday.. Basically the woulda, shoulda, coulda complex that alot of people have. When I say I'm gonna do something, I DO IT! I never put things off if I can help it.. Remember that, you only live this life once. Might as well make it a good one.." Those are the same words I live by! Well said Scottyboy! You never know if today will be your last, enjoy every last detail! JIM>

Awesome story Tony! Gives me the heeby-jeebies reading it though! JIM>
