sitting in ranger listening to bugles with out2hunt waiting for twilight to start moving on these boys. Cant keep him still. Like a 2 yr old.God bless all of you. Shoot em strait. Post some pics.

I always find these threads quite humorous when we all have nothing to do in the but check coues every 5 minutes when most of don't have the time or blessing to be out hunting something. Keeps us all entertained until we are able to make it out into gods country. With that being said, Wife and are going out tomorrow to The Phoenix Zoo, dropping her off on the side to see if she can find any good sheds, I am heading to the back to see if I cant get a B&C giraffe that inadvertently jumps the fence to get the pile of apples I have on the other side next to my trail cam. LOL

So in other words you don't want your bull to be hitting the gym. LOL

Pm AverageJoe. he knows Wyoming pretty well.

Randy you hear them bulls last night near the house? That rain flipped the switch. Wife said we had 3 bulls in front yard and 3 other on edges. Definitely not pre rut. Destroyed trees at the bottom.

Nice job. Love it someone sticks a bear old school style stick and string. Little more difficult than shooting one out of a tree. You earned everybit of that one. Congrats to all of you. Great bear and story

Wasnt going to chime in but. One if you stick it on water no matter where it is you are just asking for it to be messed with. My wife puts more miles in our unit than most guides and what amazes me the storys she tells me that 90% are not in a box or locked up. Guys for the most part our hunting community is honest. Its the other idiots who you have to worry about. Most guys including my wife and I find tons of cameras and we just walk back around or what ever so we dont show up on their camera. Only for the fact they have spent the time and effort to get it way back in there and they deserve to be respected. My advice is they will get it if they want it. Elkhunter1 works for me and makes some of the most awesome boxes on the planet. Make it so the least they have to do it cut the tree down to get it. Then getting it open is another story. Good luck guys

Great story. Nice buck with stick and string. Congrats

Great buck. Great story. Congrats

Great deer, congrats to you

I run r22 in mine. 150 nosler partion at 53.5 grains. Hole in hole

What the HECK is the point of hunting water when there has been that much rain ... man ... sometimes people are REALLY DUMB!!!!! Not referring to you obviously ... the CAMO ARMY. +1 it amazes me

Tonto creek? Heck you could have done it down chamberlin rd last night

I have the 701hdv and love it

In a boat. I am 25 east of wild woody and rain gauge show 2 inches since 9 pm last night. Supposed to get more over next 7 days. Very muddy too.

It's pretty sad that you can't commiserate with people that have spent all spring and summer carrying salt and running cams that are a little frustrated that on opening morning there were hounds running all over the dang mountain. It's public land, and they have a right to be there, but it's pretty dang frustrating. I guess you're lucky enough and have been around long enough to know where they run hounds in this state.... Some of us aren't as fortunate and had opening weekend (and 3 of my 10 vacations days) ruined by people running hounds. I hope in the future you can understand why some people have heart burn with hounds running by thier treestands multiple times during a day... I understand your points completely... but it is a mute point (is what I mean). $H!T happens out there... it has happened to me and likely will so again. It isn't that I knew where "not" to be, but we didn't happen to see a single dog or other hunter. My point is that threads like these create more divisions between hunters... and give "them" more leverage against us... I heard the same gripe in the Taxidermist shop over the weekend too from a good friend and I told him the same basic thing. I am sorry that your hunt was a bust, but you chose one thing to be mad about instead of lots of things to be happy about... hunting is not just about the kill. I have the outdoors and God's country at my finger tips every day so I tend to take it for granted... but for those of you that only have 10 days or so a year you should let your Blood Pressure fall and just enjoy the minutes you can be out there, because you can sit in your car on the freeway during the morning commute and grumble. Good Hunting. You're very correct that I shouldn't let it get to me like I do. Thanks for putting it in perspective. I just found out my boss canceled my vacation days for my early archery elk hunt so I'm probably a little frustrated over that too. Hope I didn't come off like too much of a prick. Quit your job. I am always hiring. Need about 40 guys. And I will even give you days off for your elk hunt

WOW

Good Hunting. I know I am totally going to regret responding to it but here we go. I really understand both sides if the argument if you call it that. I totally agree with with coues, on the fact we are blessed to be able to spend days or weeks out in god country hunting him animals.Some get to do it some way more than others. And "hunters" with dogs will always be there. No way to change that and I know you are just venting. And on the other hand I feel for aka. I really do. Our family does the same thing. Only difference is we spend about 250 days a year in our unit hiking or scouting and hunting. My greatest advice is go the extra 5 miles or so. If there is a road within two miles of where you are you are too close. AKA pm me if you need to help this is our backyard. Hope I didn't stir the pot to bad.

Congrats. Great buck

No steven you are not getting any more days off to go hunting. LOL. Good stories over the last few days

Congrats to your son. Great looking bear

Hey on the bright side you could be the first to take an archery deer from a canoe.

Yeh I would like to see also Steven. I guess you cant use the dead battery excuse when you call into work anymore. I will give your sup the heads up. LOL

Where are you located at?

Great job congrats
