I appreciate the offers but I hope to host them here at my place in Texas and it’s covered. I don’t have big Whitetail but we have fair 8 points and an occasional bigger buck. It will be great to host them and give back.

I wanted to take a moment and give an update. I would like to start by thanking everyone who provided input. I want to especially think a member on CWT that reached out to me and provided a complete BH lifesize cape to replace mine. This gesture was one of the most generous things I have seen. I continue to be shocked at the generosity. I will make every effort next deer season to square up with him I hope. The cape is being shipped tomorrow and hopefully on its way to a different tannery soon. Again, thank you to everyone. Tim

I prefer a bed roll, tent, and cot to my own bedroom? I’m feening to be out in the hills, hard to sleep in a house anymore.

Heck no it ain't wrong. I get my best sleep on my bed roll. And away from my woman. I'm right there with you bro. It's called gettin old.

I like duggaboys enthusiasm. He's a keeper, and if he's not a he... Duggaboy send me some nudes.

Holy crap!!!! This is incredible!! I’d be willing to pitch in $50 to that guy to buy him something cool if you wanna start a go fund me!! Way cool!!!

Well I shot a real nice buck in Mexico, was with a great group of guys. Hit him a little back and couldn't located due to had to leave the next day. He's been found , I go back Wednesday to get him. So on that note they cut his head of and enjoyed the meat, so now I need a cape, if anyone has one that hasn't been sliced up the front that you want to part with let me know. Tubed is preferred but I'm open to anything. No spikes please.. Thanks guys and gals

Anything for a laugh. Even if it means one of my testicles gets kicked up into my stomach.

I can't sleep anywhere well, but I love My Pillow, try one

Yeah he was measured by myself and taxi back when I killed it. Didn't honestly much care then but I now have my reasons. The other half of this is i want to have the buck i just killed also measured so i dont have any future problems.

Dugayboy lmfao that was a good one

So you think I'm a "he"?

Do you seriously think does didn't or aren't going to get bred just because you experienced poor rutting at your locations/timing? I hope your last few posts are in jest...

Here's an old Remington 700 BDL in 25-06. I think it was made around 1970. I was thinking of using it for a project but I realize that I'm not going to get around to it. Should make a nice hunting rifle. I think the barrel has been shortened to 20 inches. $450 located in south Tempe area

Just tape it yourself who cares

Same here, and then make fish tacos out of them. I buy the tortillas in RP , so they are made with lard and so good for you... add pico, shredded lettuce , and a twist of lime. Salsa to taste. In fact, had that for dinner Saturday.

Re read the post. I prioritize hunting, public land access and habitat for wildlife above gun rights. I own somewhere around 50 high capacity magazines. At least a dozen AR-15’s, but I am not about to alienate and entire group of people who are pro hunting because they vote a different color then me.

Much as I detest so-called "hipster hunters", I think yotebuster may be right, or at least partially right. However, it doesn't have to be one or the other. There may be a way to have a hunting future, as well as ownership and use of high-cap. magazine semi-auto rifles. However, it will require resurrection of an organization similar to the old U.S. Army Director of Civilian Marksmanship program, and re-enrollment of shooters in civilian rifle clubs to participate in across-the-course style highpower rifle competition - similar to what has occurred among civilian populations in European countries. Although Finland and Sweden have no 2A in their constitution, they are keen on the idea of a trained body of citizens who are already familiar with military-style rifle shooting, who could be available for call-up in times of national emergency. This was the basis for many years of NRA highpower shooting - basically, it served as an understudy to military training, where in the event of a worst case scenario, there would already be a body of citizens who could be proficient in the use of issue-grade small arms with almost no time required for training. I know the concept of ". . . a nation of riflemen . . ." is pretty far-fetched stuff to many shooters and hunters of today, especially younger shooters, but it may be a way, in fact is probably the only way, to legitimize continued use and ownership of so-called assault rifles. I personally don't think it is very likely, due to the difficulty, expense and time commitment involved, and also the fact that across the course events entail a definite military mindset and character, which some would find distasteful; but having participated in NRA highpower as an informal competitor, the associated benefits (competition in timed events, sportsmanship, hand-eye coordination, safety, etc.) apply across many activities, not just in sports but in everyday life as well. Something to think about. forepaw

+1. If any of you guys ever thought Rinella was anything but a Democrat you’ve had your heads in the sand. There’s a big push of democrat hunters out there, not saying you have to join them, but they’re better on your side then against it in my opinion. If I had to pick between losing my right to hunt and losing my right to have a 30 rd mag for my AR-15 I can assure you my AR mags are out the window. For all of you saying that you shouldn’t have to choose, I agree, but unfortunately time’s a changin. We WILL lose rights over so called “assault rifles”, it’s coming sooner or later. I’m a card carrying member of the NRA and a staunch fiscal republican, but I also realize the writing is on the wall. We need people like Rinella, BHA and their gang of hipster hunters if we are ever going to have a chance at having a hunting future. You can be an all or nothing lemming, or you can think for yourself and prioritize what’s important in your life.

Didn't feel like going out this morning but when I looked outside I knew I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Walked a couple two tracks looking for tracks just to see what the deer would be doing. Saw this guy a ways ahead of me and was able to work my way up and around pop up over a slight rise and let one fly. I knew right away he was mine. I won't say how many arrows I let fly I over the last few weeks. It felt great to finally connect. Momma even came out to take pics and help me drag him out. Now I got to help momma get one!

Hello CWT Been awhile since the last time I poked my nose in. Probably since my Spain/Russia trip last November. Well, didnt draw anything anywhere... again. But I DID finally return to Africa after a long 8 year hiatus from the dark continent. Ive been mountain hunting as hard as my finances would allow the last 8 years and Africa just took a back seat. I made Namibia the priority this trip as I have never been there before, and because it is the safest country in Africa, I decided to take my 10 year old daughter, my wife and my mother on this trip. Ill spare the written details other than to say it was a fantastic trip. 10 days of hunting with some incredible trophies taken.. a few for me I had been waiting to hunt for many years. We hunted north central Namibia not too far from Etosha Nat Park. I was fortunate enough to have taken a monster sable bull and Roan bull as well as Hartmanns mountain zebra, Damara dikdik, steenbok, and 2 gemsbok oryx bulls. My daughter was Annie Oakley this trip. 6 kills with 6 shots from her 243. Im pretty sure she has the bug as badly as her old man now! She took 4 springbok, an impala, and a blue wildebeest. After the hunt, we spent an incredible week in Swakopmund on the coast as well as a few days in Soussusvlei and Deadvlei in the Namib Desert. National Geographic stuff 💯!! Beautiful place! So here are a handful of pics to enjoy. It was great being back in Africa but now the mountains call again and Oct cant come quickly enough! Good hunting to you all and congratulations to those with a sheep tag in your pocket!

Dude. People are gonna go nuts when they find out that these are Fluorite...

Yeah, but then you have to hike the 7 miles to go shoot what you spotted! Maybe you can put some flourite in your boots. Seems to help with the optics.
