COOSEFAN

Thanks guys, glad the video worked and I think it's very cool that you got to tag along with me that day by watching it! The tripod set-up that I use is nothing more than placing shooting sticks under the butt of the gun and resting the forearm of the rifle on my turned down tripod head. I leave the glasses on there to help stabalize the rifle also. You can't really see em' but the shooting sticks are under my arms as I'm set up for the shot in the video. I practice off this set up and i also practice the process of getting set up for the shot long before my hunts start.....this is a big help if you plan on shooting this way. I also use the GL2 camera and the one we used on this trip is in serious need of a thorough cleaning! The darn lense was very dirty as usual and it drives me nuts anytime the camera is pointed towards the sun! I should have learned to watch for that by now.....oh well, thanks guys JIM>

Thanks for all the reply's everyone! I definitely ain't worried about wall space right now.......it's the taxidermy bill that I owe GTT that I'm afraid of! I just dropped it off at his house tonight and i got to hold his buck from last weekend......WAIT TILL YOU SEE HIS BUCK! Post up them darn pic's Bret Here's a cool pic........ look at all the bone on Shorty's truck! What a great hunt it was!

Welcome to the site mr. smith! Make sure to take lots o' pic's and post em' up for us to see! JIM>

Way to go! That's what I'm talkin' about.......even if you have only a short time to hunt, it's always better than not hunting at all!!! Glad it all paid off for you guys! JIM>

Way to get 'er done! Congrats to you! JIM>

Casey.......It's HOT all over down there dude! Ya just gotta know how to hunt when it's hot AND when there's a bunch of other hunters! My advice would be to pack a ton of water with ya and don't go back and take a nap in the middle of the day! 90% of the other yahoos will go back to camp as soon as the sun gets high. This is when those bucks that bedded early get up and reposition because the sun moved into their bed!!! You need to be glassing the likely bedding areas between 10:00 - 2:00. I would even say you don't need to get up early! Stay out all day and pick apart the thick, nasty bedding areas if you are having a hard time just my little $.02

Way to go! Those are awesome critters right there!!! Huge congrats to you and your dad! JIM>

Hey 36B guys, if ya can, please keep an eye out for an ol' stubborn geezer drivin' a newer grey 4dr F-350 with a winch on the front this next weekend. This psycho is down there by himself huntin' Coues and thinkin' he's all macho an' stuff 'cause he don't need or want any help or company slowin' him down! Be careful though, if you stop by at night and he's in his sleeping bag on his cot, don't sneak up on em' 'cause he's packin' his pistol in his bag with him! Seriously, if ya see him, make sure he ain't causin' any problems down there, and be sure to stop and say hi....I'm sure he'll welcome the company (especially if ya speak english!) Pops.......you better be careful and them boys are expectin' a call if you need any help! Best of luck Pops

Well, if Jamaro hasn't scared ya off already than welcome to the site! Topic's can get heated but not nearly as bad as on some other sites.....that's what makes this place so great. Bunch of very knowledgeable and kind folks on here for sure Welcome to the site! JIM>

Anytime Jade So what's the verdict Mr. Gent? Ya gonna be able to make it? If so, best of luck to ya......if not, then be watchin' for my story and photos....I'll take ya along on my hunt as soon as I get the story posted a week from tomorrow

I was referring to the other organization in my post. I'm also a life member of this organization and am very surprised that such a thing would happen! I would guess that they were very busy and the boy was unfortunately overlooked. The person who checked the tag needs to be reminded of why that camp took place! I'm sure they had the same objectives and goals as the AES camp, but it just goes to show the impact that one persons actions can have! Again, that sucks to hear it happened, but next time tell your friend to swing on in to the AES camp instead JIM>
