We finally made it up last week for my boy’s elk hunt, and he made it count. His first shot was solid, clipping the heart. Earlier that day I’d told him if the elk was still on its feet after the first shot, don’t hesitate—put another one in her. After that first hit, without a word from me, he sent a second round into the lungs. As the cow turned and started to go down, he followed up with a third shot, again through the lungs. She dropped instantly, clean and quick. Hardly any meat damage, and we came away with just over 100 pounds of ground elk.

Hey Guys, I didn't want to step on Tomgobblers thread Pine Box, but everyone has their time, and maybe there's some of you like myself that has more days behind you than in front. Any way if you have an honorable discharge, Uncle Sam will set aside a plot and headstone for you. I recently contacted the VA for prior authorization, something you might want to do to save your survivors from doing so. I applied on the VA website in Sept of 25, due to the govt shutdown I received the paperwork yesterday.

Someone that specializes in crane guiding in az is a douche? Shocker.

This system is so gay

Coues tag started Dec 15 on Ft. Huachuca and I hadn’t had much time to hunt, so I broke away on 30th for a quick day trip. Hit the road at 3:30 AM, buck down by 8:30, and back home by noon. Glassed all morning, only picking up does and no sign of bucks. I was just about ready to pack up and move when I gave it one last look. Caught a flick of movement that gave him away. He was tucked in perfectly—never saw his head or antlers—but his body size told me he was a buck. He was about 400 yards out with no shot, so I ditched my gear and closed the distance to 225. At first I couldn’t find him and thought he might’ve slipped out, but after slowing down I picked up his legs in the same spot—standing now, still no shot. If he dipped, I was done. Instead, he turned in place and bedded back down, opening up a small 12-inch window through the brush. That was all I needed. He never made it out of his bed. Shout out to all the guys on here that gave me some knowledge and pointers! Thanks a ton! Tried adding more pics, but wouldn’t let me got some reason.

I googled full color waterfowl and The guides name and it came up under the video option

Shoots just like Levi. Love it.

Good job! Nice shootin!

Saw those on IG. Not a good look.

Nice work. Love the Carhaet jacket!

Great advice.

This HiLo guy looks like a real world class a55hat too. I think I’d rather go with Wards and not kill a crane then promote this d!ckwad.

Copy, thanks for your time

Sorry for the news but what a blessing to be trusted in building his final home

Is she from the Star Valley area?

Headed to TX Friday AM. Hope I have more than a creosote to hide behind!

Love the rez but the employees are definitely on rez time. I have heard of Hawaii time but they take it to a whole other level. Andy and Barney in Mayberry moved at lightspeed compared to the rez folks. I used to complain but now I'm starting to think they know something about how life is supposed to be lived.

IMG_8192.mov IMG_8192.mov IMG_8192.mov I ran into a unique but not uncommon situation this year on my buddies wife’s 5B late rifle bull hunt. Opening morning we turned up 2 bulls first light at 1100 yards. Her effective range is about 600 yards so we needed to drop off the ridge and onto a spine between us and the elk. As we made our way there we heard a side by side coming in. I told my buddy to continue on and I would let them know what we were doing. It ended up being two guys from Washington, one with a tag. They too had seen the bulls and were in pursuit. I told them since two bulls were in there we should work together and we can make a final decision on shooter once in position. They were agreeable so we eased in. We got to 600 yards and had the biggest bull in plain site bedded. The other was bedded in thick junipers. My buddies wife had never killed a bull and neither had this gentleman. Despite my gut telling me “ladies first” I knew they had just as much right to the bulls as us, so we agreed to flip for it. Well, she lost. So we got her in position in the event the second bull popped out and helped him with distance, windage and execution. He made a perfect shot and the other bull slipped out just giving us brief glimpses but never long enough for a new hunter. It was disappointing and exciting all at once. Bull was a tank and scored 351”. Super solid dudes and even offered tons of assistance trying to help her connect over the next few days but she could never quite put it together. On day 2 I found her the bull of a lifetime, conservatively 370” and had her at 400 yards from him but she couldn’t get him in her scope in the thick cedars before he bedded. I had to go home but they saw him two more times and no shot! IMG_8192.mov I sure love mentoring new hunters but after killing lots of animals for 35 years it is easy to forget the newbie mistakes that occur over and over again that we made and is so glaring when someone else does it. Test of patience, kindness, and humility for sure! Here is the bull they killed 351” IMG_8201.mov My Movie 9.mov

I think you played it very fair. Lots of turds out there and just be glad you are not one of them.

dang it Danny.
