One more time ttt Brian

Right at daylight this morning in unit 23, I found a rangefinder, hat, and two pairs of gloves. Left it there all day and at dark tonight it was still there. So I have it now. If you lost it, let me know model and where yo think you lost it and I'll get it back to you. Brian

Awesome!! I am so jealous!! Looks like so much fun. Brian

Yep just goulds...... i dont have time to drive up north that time of year i can just drive 30 min and be hunting this way That is awesome to have been drawn twice. My card got hit yesterday for turkey. All I put in for was goulds. YEE HAAA!!! either 35a or 29/31. Any help would be appreciated! Both my tags were in 29. If you get 29 I have a lot of info I can give you. Congrats on the tag. Brian

Hey Jason Here is what I use. http://www.buyacehardware.com/american-wick-hand-operated-siphon-pump-45345.html Brian

My hunt ended this evening. I had to work today but the good thing was that I was only working about 5 miles from where I was hunting. I got to my spot and headed to a tank. As hot and dry as it is, I knew I had to be on water this evening. Got to the tank, set my blind up and was all set up by 5:45. Fifteen minutes later and small six point come in, then 5 minutes later another little bit bigger six point come in. Ten minutes later, I hear elk running coming in. A cow and a calf hit the water with a bull in tow. The bull got to the water but I couldn't shoot as the cow directly behind the bull. The cow finally cleared, I drew my bow, and settled my pins for a 25 yard shot. After the release the arrow buried to the fletchings right behind the shoulder. The bull ran out and then stopped about 70 yards away, got weak kneed and then went down. What a great short evening hunt! My best bull to date. Brian

Awesome story and great bull! Congrats! Brian

Thanks everyone :-). It was a great hunt. Had an amazing time. As for the rut, it was going good the week before the season but as the temps got warmer things slowed down. The bulls I was hunting the last couple days would hardly talk during daylight hours. Once again thanks for the kind comments everyone. Brian

Well done! Congrats! Brian

I did my 16th robin hood this evening. This one was from 40 yards out. Gets kind of expensive, but I save them all. All I need now is that 380 bull in range. Brian

No they were not with us. It was just my mom, dad and I. We were in the little camp trailer in the loop campground in the very first spot on the corner. I was hunting. Had a couple close close calls on some nice bucks but a little bad luck with mother natured foiled me. Brian

I believe I saw Amanda's jeep with her tent trailer Sunday at Timber Camp. Could be mistaken. I was camped in the campground there. Brian

I've done it quite a few times and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Brian

I made a change nearly two years ago. I was at 250 lbs and not happy about it. So I cut out soda and watched what I ate . Began exercising and I lost 75 lbs. Now I feel much better and I don't get tired while hunting anymore. Makes it much more enjoyable. Now I even run in races and building up to run a half marathon in January. This is one of the best changes I have ever made in my life and I encourage anyone who wants to do the same to do it. It is very hard in the beginning but gets much easier as time goes by, then finally it is just normal to eat right and exercise. Never thought I would actually look forward to running every day.

Today I was doing some broadhead tuning on my bow, since my broadheads and field tips were not hitting the same since I put a new string on my bow, and after some rest adjustments I would say they are now hitting the same spot. First arrow was a broadhead and the second was the field point. 30 yards. Robin hood #17! Brian
