Congrats on the bird! That is an awesome Turkey photo you got there as well! That skull is amazing to say the least, tricky pic though for size comparison, but it looks huge compared to whats left of the attached skull! You got any other pic's of it? Thanks, JIM

I have yet to encounter something where I needed to put it in 4WD! I swear, especially with the new aftermarket tires, I think it will climb a cliff! I'm also having a bumper built for the Rhino and I installed two 55W PIAA lamps on the front, a DynaFS CDI box and a Rectifier thing-a-majig that created a monster compared to stock performance, and a Digital dash also. I think the winch will be the last thing I do then I'm done. This thing is like a mini sandrail when you want it to be, or let off the gas and you got a huntin' machine! I'll post pic's when it's together. Thanks, JIM

Hey David, that thing looks cool! Heck if I wanted to steal it for myself, I know right where it's at because of that last pic! JIM

I snagged this pic from and email and figured it's interesting enough to share. It's obviously baby Porkypines, I can't decide if they're cute or not, it's a toss up because cute things are usually cuddly or fluffy and these even as babies don't look too cuddly. Ever seen a baby Porkypine before? Thanks, JIM

They do look like hedgehogs, but the email said Porcupines. I have seen small young Porcupines and they have long soft hairs and almost look like you could safely hold one, these don't look that way! From the ones I've personally seen, I always thought they didn't have sharp quills right away as babies. I bet it would be painful to give birth to those things in the pic! JIM

I thought it was you, sorry, who has the red Dodge Dakota? I remember seeing post's with the picture of it. JIM

Looks perfect for the family! Looks like you could fit a bunch of people on it, awesome! JIM

Hope you had a great day today! I saw my first CWT.com sticker last Sat. I think it was you, red dodge dakota ext-cab? I was the idiot in the white van that whipped in the parking spot next to you at Lowes by the Warehouse. I saw the truck from an isle over and went to park by you to chat but you were leaving by the time I got over there, I actually made you hit the brakes as you were backing up, sorry. Neat to finally see another sticker though, happy B-day! JIM

I didn't think I was ready for a new dog but my dad's Lab had puppies and were going fast so I grabbed one. We have a German Shorthair that seemed to be really missing her buddy so we hoped this would cheer her up, and I think it did. With a lot of consideration his name ended up as "Drake". I had others I liked better but appearantly I didn't have much choice in the matter, the wife liked Drake! Cool name for a duck huntin' dog though. Thanks, JIM

That is a great set-up and I love the shirt as well! I was planning on getting that same gun/caliber also. I decided i'm taking a rifle to Alaska but want a handcannon to keep with me 24/7, for peace-of-mind if nothing else. JIM

Thanks Amanda for the email! I followed your instructions and works perfectly now, finally! What a frustrating ordeal, I was about to take a sledge-hammer to my computer ! I had my wife try to get on the site today on her computer at work and it crashed it Thats when I found out it wasn't just my computer Thanks again Amanda for correcting the problem. JIM

I just got my "specialized" CWT.com sticker this evening and ran out and stuck it on! Thanks Amanda, it fits perfectly on it! JIM

We snuck out again yesterday to go shed hunting. We started out looking for the bulls that my buddy Bret had found last weekend and then hiked around where they had been. We only found a few old small sheds there and then moved to one of the smaller hills. I went to one side with a good friend, Cary, and Bret went to the other side. Cary has hunted his whole life and has only found two elk sheds! He gets very frustrated about that and thinks he just has bad luck. This frustration has kept him away from shed hunting itself but still goes out once in a while. Cary and I were paralleling each other along the hill when I heard him hootin' and hollerin'! I thought he might have found one of the small brownies we usually find in that spot and figured the excitement in his voice was from finally finding a shed of any size. I ran to him and surprisingly found him holding up a beautiful brown set! He was extremely excited and definitely deserved the find! The funny thing is 5 minutes before he found the sheds, he picked up a horseshoe and stuck it in his pocket, hoping it would change his luck! I doubt he will ever part with that lucky horseshoe! JIM This is Cary with his first set of brownies, notice his lucky horseshoe in his pocket! This is Bret's son Jake, Cary and Bret's Brother Bart.

Thanks for the videos! That looks like fun, but jumping them things looks hard on your butt and your FACE! OUCH! Thanks, JIM

Good idea, but it would be hard to steal it because he probably sleeps with it! Finding those sheds was a big deal to him and he believes the horseshoe played a big part! Thanks, JIM

PM sent also.

Awesome archery coyote! I have always wanted one with a bow. I have tried for alot of years and missed alot of opportunities. Congrats! JIM

I appreciate the offer Keith! I would hate to make someone come help me in some of the places we hunt though. I hunt a spot in NM that is 8 miles one way on a quad road, straight down a huge canyon. We hunt that spot every year and haven't had any problems yet with quads breaking, but when it happens, it's gonna suck! Those places are why I'm all about dependability with your ride. Thanks, JIM

Hey David, Glaspro Rules! And you know it! That looks like fun putting that thing together! Looks like you got some Bling Bling on it already. If I were mechanically inclined I might have went that route but I'm not. I would be afraid something would break miles from anywhere and I would be sitting there scratching my head! It would be 10 times worse if I had a client with me, unless he was a Suzuki mechanic! I'm also pretty sure I would have to put a lowering kit on that thing to get it in my trailer instead of a lift kit. I can't wait to see it finished, it looks like it's gonna be a badass huntin' machine! For the record, I know that just because my Rhino is new doesn't mean it won't break! As with anything I guess, you just have to be careful and cross your fingers. Thanks, JIM

Thats an awesome way to get your daughter out in the woods! She looks like she really enjoyed it, especially not having to do the hiking! I know I would! I heard one turkey gobbling at first light on Sun. in 6A, he did it a few times coming off is roost then shut up early. Made me wish I had a tag! Good luck with yours! JIM

See, I said it would be easy to figure out where we were! Them pic's are about as good as GPS coordinates! I'm more careful in other units when taking pic's. There is guys out there that will work harder at finding YOUR spot than what it would take to find there own. like I said, that area is good, but it's obviously not a secret spot. The elk had been there, but it's a hard place to shed hunt because they move all around. You have to be on the right hill, at the right time to do much good, and even then, you'll most likely only find little "6a" sheds. That set Cary found is the best ones we've ever found in that unit. I believe you need to drop into some of the huge canyons around there to find some bigger sheds. The only way you'll get me to drop into them is if I had a Coues tag in my pocket! Thanks, Jim

Yep, them are the Peaks. If someone were to try and find this spot by looking at these pic's, it would be easy if they've been around it before. I'm not worried about it though because everyone and there brother has probably hunted that unit at one time or other, it gets pounded in the fall. There is still some good stuff there though, but I don't particularly like the unit, it always feels "used and abused" there. Thanks, JIM

I unexpectedly lost my best friend yesterday. I am not posting this for sympathy but only to share with you all, my favorite pic's and best times with my best friend, Zeus. It is unexplainable how much I already miss him. I am going to spread his ashes over the exact places you see in these photos, that is where he would want to stay forever. I had a great deal of admiration for his passion for hunting and only wish I could have gotten him out one last time. Thanks, JIM

I have been kickin' around the idea of buying one of these monsters to hunt Moose and Caribou this Sept. I know they are plenty big enough for either of these animals but was curious which one I should go with. I have wanted the 500 for a while but just found out about the 460 XVR today and don't know much about it other than you can shoot the .460, .454 Casull, and the .45 Colt out of it. I like that versatility but the brute force of the 500 looks awesome. I would like to know what scope would be best to handle the recoil of one of these pigs and who you would reccommend to buy/inquire from? I was at the Warehouse today and held both guns that are in the pic's and that 460 XVR is BAD!!! They had a sorry selection of scopes and not that informative on putting scopes on these BIG guns. Any info or insight would be appreciated, Thanks JIM

"Come guys.. Ya'll know I didn't have anything to do with this particular hill country buck that he found around Bear Grass Tank!!!" Hey ScottyBoy, Moosecoues never said anything about " Bear" grass tank. Just mentioned "Grass Tank". For the record, and if anyone is curious, there is NO deer around "Bear Grass Tank"! None! So don't go there, it sucks, go look for "Grass Tank" instead! JIM
