Thanks for all the input. Flintlock

Trying to plan ahead incase I get lucky. What are the going rates for a Buffalo shoulder mount, European skull mount and a hide? Also, what is the turn around time for each? Thanks, Flintlock

Well I drew a 12 A West (first season) tag this year, this being my first time up there I was wondering if I should get a Mountain Lion or a Yearling Buffalo tag? I plan on arriving a week early to scout and if I tag out I would like to chase something else. Great site, Thanks, Flintlock

Wow, that is incredible! It looks like you might have some long bow shooters in the future. Great photos and thanks for sharing.

Getting ready to head to the mountains and this is one of the meals I plan on preparing. The night before, dig hole in the ground twice the size as dutch oven, load it up with Juniper. Cut up potaoes, carrots, onions, garlic, The next morning burn it down to ashes and coals, load up oven with 2-3 lb roast/veggies and season with salt and pepper add 3-4 cans beer ( you do not want it to go dry) Dig out 3/4 of the coals/ashes, put oven in ground refill hole with coals/ashes ( should be up the sides all the way and covering the top, Go hunting, That evening, pull lid and drop bisquick mix biscuits on top recover, Drink two Large Crown and Cokes, pull the lid and enjoy.

Yes you must have the Crown. I was cracking up when I saw another recipe on the forum that required Crown. Thats my favorite followed by Pendleton. We have used Mountain Mahogany but you have to be carefull as it can get too hot. If your dutch oven doesnt have a lip around the lid to hold coals, you can use a cast iron pan that will set down tight inside the the oven. It works great to hold coals and also less chance of spilling them into your dinner when you pull the lid.

Right on! Congratulations and thanks for all the posts, its the next best thing to being there! Flintlock

Thanks for all the input, especially Kaibabkiller, I am going to go ahead and get both. My 76 year old Dad that started me in hunting is coming down just for the experience and it would be great to get a nice buck and have a chance at a Buff or a Cat also. Thanks, Flintlock
