Hey all, gonna be gone for a while, best of luck on the draw......I already know what deer tag I got, but I'll let ya know what unit I drew for Sheep when I return Here's just a couple cam pics I thought were neat, "Ghost Bulls" and "Sneakin' In". Good luck and take care, JIM>

You can see it appears as though his skull is twisted to the point his eyesockets are outta whack! Casey must of thrown lead at him before, but at least this critter fortunately lived through it! Poor guy, I bet the other elk poke fun at em' and the cows probably laugh at em' too......Casey knows what that's like, poor feller! (only cause your a good sport about it all Casey)

Chance??? 'Nother pic of that same bull on the "Short Bus" thread. He's been growing nicely since those pic's were taken too!

It sucks losing a camera, but like I said, we expected it. They are all locked up, but they are out in the open.......we just hoped it was early enough the riff-raff hadn't made it out in these parts of the woods yet I think i got photobucket fingered out now.... Here's a few good bulls that will still be alive for the archers to whack....... Check out this one.......it looks like it could be a predator of some sort is sittin' off to the left in the background. Cool pic though.. Alright, looks like it worked. Hope ya'll enjoy the pics, headin' up north now to kicksumbutt

Hey Grong, I just tried to post some biggins but for some reason photobucket is on the fritz for me right now, and can't finger it out. BTW.......just found out that one of our cams was stolen today!!!!!!!! DAMMITTT! I've got "bloodhounds" out there right now following the tracks.......I hope the thief sees this and is scared 'cause I'll find em'......I know everyone that was out there yesterday and today so it won't be hard to find the oddball capable of such a thing!

Happy B-day Chrissy!

Well I couldn't take it any longer, Swaro told me I could have my EL's back fixed or not by the 9th (today) and nothing has showed up, so I called them! The lady I've had the pleasure of dealing with was very apologetic that my EL's weren't back to me by today.......BUT according to the tracking she said they are supposed to be here by tomorrow!!! I was really scared to ask what the conclusion was with the repair, but I did and she said the only thing I'll recognize on my EL's is the serial number!!!! They replaced everything, even the lenses, housing, adjustment knob and gears, outter cover (protective jacket), emblems and everything else that wasn't even broke! The best part is it's 100% free......and that's even after I told them my wife ran them over!!! SWAROVSKI RULES!......just can't deny it!

Casey, the disturbing thing was that you enjoyed the wedgies almost as much as my brother enjoyed the wet willy's!!! (more funny!)

The obvious question is, was Jim wearing the Binocs when she ran them over? The story is that my bro and I had gone Hog huntin' one day and stopped by my dad's house on the way home for a get together with the family. My bro left early and i was going to ride home with the wife. He put the rifle and my other bags ON TOP of the car, making me think that was all of it and I put it all into the back seat. For some reason he thought to set my backpack up against the rear bumper away from everything else and there is no street lights out at Pops house so it went undetected.........well, undetected for the first 20 yards backing down the driveway! BTW.......UPS tried to deliver my babies today but nobody was there to sign for it, and I have to wait another day Dang Jim I would have signed for them, would have waited at your house for you. I would have given them to you when you asked too, were they delivering the tascos with the blue or the red lenses so I can make sure to get it right, I think you need more friends like me looking out for you. If Tasco's were being delivered to my house, I will definitely have you come over to sign for them.....wouldn't want my neighbors to see! Hey Casey, that is the same brother! He told me to tell you sorry for the wedgies last year on the bus! (that was funny!)

WhoooHooo! It's Augie and he finally came out of the closet! Great to see ya on here finally, welcome to the site! BTW.....You got me good that day, I thought for sure I was in trouble for somethin! Hey Augie, hows that Early Rifle Bull tag feel in your pocket? You'd better watch yourself around Coues n' Sheep, Gamehauler, Huntn' Coues, tjhunt2, and all the others that hunt over there......you don't want them to know you have their tag!

I'm one that hopes your WM buddy is wrong like everyone else, I can't wait to find out the results....my life revolves around those dam results I also appreciate you Mr. RoughCut for sharin' what you have heard....whether it's accurate or not, you never said it was a fact and you gave your reasoning for believing it. Nothing wrong with that Your post just brought up recent memories for me when I was told draw info from deep within the Dept. and it wasn't even close to accurate.....and I felt it had to be true because of the source, but instead it made me look like a fool Thanks for sharin' your what you heard.....again, I do hope it's earlier!

Not sayin' your WM buddy is wrong, but as far as I'm concerned, I've had "inside" info many times before and it's NEVER accurate this far ahead of time I'm to the point I don't believe anything I hear in regards to results posting....and that's even if it comes from the person in charge of the draw! I do hope it's earlier than the 22nd though!

Yeah, I was waitin' for that one Casey I went back and fixed it.

Here's the youngest hunter I know, my nephew Tyler. This is Tyler and his Pappy with a trophy Jack he slayed last week! Casey should be jealous of THIS WABBIT'S ears....and Tyler didn't even have to push them towards the camera to make em' appear bigger like somebody else we all know.

I was told that I could have gotten them back sooner, but I gave them the 9th as the date I needed them by!! The lady on the phone even asked how scouting was going and was definitely a "pro-hunter" which made it more pleasant as well! I'm sure this service isn't that much different than Leica, Nikon, or some of the others that talk about great service, but it sure does make you feel better about your investments! Thanks, JIM>

Dude, you need to spend a little more time outside of the closet.....and I'm still waitin' for the money you said you were givin' me so that i CAN buy that adapter! I'll meet ya down there tomorrow so you can pay for it and not have to send me the money plus you can buy me lunch while we're at it!

calm down Casey, calm down......I've met her Pappy and he could tie you up like a pretzel with one hand tied behind his back! Welcome to the site and best of luck this year!

That's the last one! Three girls and they ALL hunt Boys Gross boys are discusting! They have cooties! Especially Firstcoueswas80!

I was thinking that snakekiller was in a similar mood like he was over on that other thread, and he's tellin' you to "Take off the pics"

I remember one killed last year that was very similar, tons of trash, but it didn't have the big droptine.....I'm thinkin' thats the photos you guys might be rememberin'? I've never heard or seen anything about the droptine bull dyin' and you sure would think that wouldn't go un-noticed.

I've thrown it out there a little today that I'm awaiting a phone call from Swarovski in regards to my binos they received today. I have never had to send binos in before, but I've always heard they fixed or replaced and if there were any charges they were usually just for upgrades that were done. I know my binos were dead, if they fix them then that means they replaced half of em'! 'cause one barrel was crushed! They know it was my fault, but they had me send them in and said they would call after assessing the damage. What experiences have you had........ What brand.......... Was it your fault..... Did you tell them it was your fault? What do you think they will do for me? Thanks in advance for your reply's, JIM>

No binos, no phone call, and no emails from Swaro yet They did tell me I would have them by today and I'm gonna call to find out.........it really sucked babysittin' without them lately!

That lasted only 30 minutes!!!! My deal still stands remember......mine also comes with a $200.00 soft protective cover along with a new condition hard case Do they really get $200 for the cover? I dont' remember exactly, but I do remember it was a rediculous amount for what it is! I do think it was around or close to $200.00 though at the time at SW.

Heck yeah! Those are some refreshing pic's right there......that's what we are all here for in the first place I can't wait to switch gears and start chasin' Coues bucks! Great pics of a great buck....time will tell for sure how great he is!
