Big or Bust

Great buck...

Lance, how close to 200" is that dude? Gotta be 195" ish...

The Sawbuck pant has replaced my carharts in stickery shrubby catclaw country. Legit. Plus a warm weather pant I'd call it.

A .243 is plenty fine for any deer sized game pretty far out there dependent on BC and MV. Fret shot placement and secondarily the bullet. The cartridge is plenty fine.

What would be your minimum for big mulies and is there a difference in your eyes between desert mulies and Rockies?

Good guy bump...

Nice post, not surprising ...

All red here but one of the tags for NR I applied for has been 100% forever. Hmmmm. Be interesting if this trend continues relative to rumors out there...

I do. You are an embarrassment quite honestly.

Heck, in the past 7 days I've seen two rutting frenzies of coues deer bucks on a doe, both sets of bucks had a 90"+ buck with them. Makes shedding season seem really far away...

The 1st coues season will start on Friday Oct. 23 this year, 4th Friday of the month from what I'm seeing on the calendar? Pretty safe bet this is the date?

Thanks...

Yes...

heck no. Just another attempt by the media to sabotage anything related to him.... Swine flu, Obama a hero for handling. This, Trump's an idiot. MAGA...

Those estimated numbers above are only for US? Ok. Thought they were for world. Regardless, this panic is out of freaking control.

So about like the 2009-2010 swine flu based on those numbers, when life went on normally, nothing was cancelled, we got over it and all went forward? Big difference is who was president at that time relative to now. Gonna be a really good buying opportunity in a few months.

Seriously?

My wife has been slaying elk with her 7-08 and 140 Etips for a bit now at ranges from 200-400 yards. MV only 2700. Not a single elk went more than 50 yards and all on ground in seconds. All exits too.

Those are everywhere. And in the middle of nowhere usually accompanied by gallons of water waiting for passerbys...

Glad you made it out...

What the heck is going on? Would you prefer the estimate first or a stretcher rescue, for clarity?

Laffin'.... Butt sex jokes? Laffin'. All "credibility" of yours is now gone. I was genuinely wanting a conversation as I happen to have a few degrees too in the field since you seem to think that's important... You are indeed the classic liberal pro-wolf dude along with the passive agressiveness.... All emotion. I'm just trying to have a conversation with you. How'd you like the SOTU address?

I was going to ask some similar questions but I was going to wait on a few more posts... Grin....

This, and grazing.... How are you able to separate this out the predator analysis based on all the studies which you have cited?

Thanks. The article is a large literature review , not really a study, which doesn't discuss grazing which at least in AZ is huuuuge..... Nor does it list where the literature reviewed did their own studies, some or most of which were in Europe who likely has significant differences in hunting pressure let alone other differences not known (grazing, etc.). Plus the article appears to conclude its data with wolves and bear predation, not just wolves although it does suggest bears are likely secondary. Is this the study you are basing your comment on that wolves are solely responsible for riparian degradation?
