Not sure where the bucks were this year? plus the temps were up that's the only thing I can think of they just never really moved like they usually do? definitely not the same as other years Same issue for us. We found em bedded early and staying bedded till after dark. Not an easy year for that hunt.

Nice shot. Would have ben better if you could have got a little further away and shot him with a rifle at 700 yards. Truly that would have been more ethical. Always enjoy your vids.

Nice buck taylor. Way to go.

Do you think youmight have allergies? This is a bad time of year for me. If i dont take anti-allergy medicine i get all stuffed up, then get a sinus infection. Sounds like what you might have. Go to your pharmacy and get the strongest decongestant/antihistamine you can buy. Something like claritin-D. Dont know if it will help but you can find out or less than $10 and no dr. The only stuff that works well is in the pharmacy and you have to show ID to get it, but nothing else will work as well.

Executive Branch - POLITICS U.S. Government Used Taxpayer Funds to Buy, Sell Weapons During 'Fast and Furious,' Documents Show By William Lajeunesse Published September 26, 2011 | FoxNews.com AP This Jan. 25 picture shows part of a cache of seized weapons displayed at a news conference in Phoenix. Not only did U.S. officials approve, allow and assist in the sale of more than 2,000 guns to the Sinaloa cartel -- the federal government used taxpayer money to buy semi-automatic weapons, sold them to criminals and then watched as the guns disappeared. This disclosure, revealed in documents obtained by Fox News, could undermine the Department of Justice's previous defense that Operation Fast and Furious was a "botched" operation where agents simply "lost track" of weapons as they were transferred from one illegal buyer to another. Instead, it heightens the culpability of the federal government as Mexico, according to sources, has opened two criminal investigations into the operation that flooded their country with illegal weapons. The following documents detail the role the ATF played in buying and selling weapons as part of its controversial "Fast and Furious" operation. Operation Fast and Furious began in October 2009. In it, federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives encouraged gun stores to sell weapons to an arms smuggling gang, then watched as the guns crossed the border and were used in crimes. Each month, the agency allowed hundreds of guns to go South, despite opposition from some agents. All told, the gang spent more than $1.25 million for the illegal guns. In June 2010, however, the ATF dramatically upped the ante, making the U.S. government the actual "seller" of guns. According to documents obtained by Fox News, Agent John Dodson was ordered to buy six semi-automatic Draco pistols -- two of those were purchased at the Lone Wolf gun store in Peoria, Ariz. An unusual sale, Dodson was sent to the store with a letter of approval from David Voth, an ATF group supervisor. Dodson then sold the weapons to known illegal buyers, while fellow agents watched from their cars nearby. This was not a "buy-bust" or a sting operation, where police sell to a buyer and then arrest them immediately afterward. In this case, agents were "ordered" to let the sale go through and follow the weapons to a stash house. According to sources directly involved in the case, Dodson felt strongly that the weapons should not be abandoned and the stash house should remain under 24-hour surveillance. However, Voth disagreed and ordered the surveillance team to return to the office. Dodson refused, and for six days in the desert heat kept the house under watch, defying direct orders from Voth. A week later, a second vehicle showed up to transfer the weapons. Dodson called for an interdiction team to move in, make the arrest and seize the weapons. Voth refused and the guns disappeared with no surveillance. According to a story posted Sunday on a website dedicated to covering Fast and Furious, Voth gave Dodson the assignment to "dirty him up," since Dodson had become the most vocal critic of the operation. "I think Dodson demanded the letter from Voth to cover both himself and the FFL (Federal Firearm Licensee). He didn't want to be hung out to dry by Voth," a source told the website "Sipsey Street Irregulars." Subsequent to this undercover operation, sources told Sipsey, "Dodson just about came apart all over them (his supervisors). In a 'screaming match' that was heard throughout the Phoenix office by many employees, Dodson yelled at Voth and Assistant Special Agent in Charge George Gillett, 'Why not just go direct and empty out the (ATF) arms room?" (to the cartels), or words to that effect.' After the confrontation, ATF managers transferred Dodson to a more menial job. Months later, after the death of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, Dodson blew the whistle and went public about the federal government's gunrunning operation.

Probably

I know someone who might be interested I will find out.

Ha. What a tease.

My wife and I and kids live in camp verde and everyone knows the family here. Both parents used to work in the school system and I believe went through the school system here. It was rough in church on Sunday. A lot of the kids in the Sunday school class I teach were real shook up as they were all friends. I couldn't imagine burying my 8 year old son. I will always be sure to keep buckles on. Hope we all do.

The time stamp is right. These are from last year in an area mule deer an WT live. Maybe even a few elk. What is your best guess? Anyone else ever get similar pics?

BTT. Still for sale.

I have a Bushmaster Carbon 15 m4 5.56 NATO for sale. It is a couple years old, but has only about 1000 rounds through it. It has always been well taken care of and spent too much time in it's case. I also have carry handle, handle rail mount, 30 & 5 round clips, tactical carrying strap, and about 250 rounds. It is an awesome weapon and a ton of fun to shoot. My link My link My link My link

Here is a monster mule deer buck i shot last year with my bow (a long bow), from 136 yards through the heart, down off of a cliff edge. the buck only ran 1 foot before piling up deader than a door nail. there were other bigger bucks in the group that were closer, but this was the one i wanted...just for the challenge of it. It is the 29th buck i have killed in the last 3 years with my longbow...the other 14 I just killed with my buck knife. Not to brag....

Sorry for not including price, must have been distracted by all the awesome trail cam pics I have seen lately. Asking $750. Darren

Wow. Very cool. Thx.

Too cool!

Ya we got poured on like everybody else. Made it back to the tent just before it got real serious. After the rain we headed back out and had a great afternoon. It's always nice to have a shoot just before deer season. Cannot get here soon enough...

If you don't sell them in a week or two I just might have the funds.

Interested in a trade at all?

I have about as much patience as a little kid with a handful of chocolate candy, but I am Going to sit my butt in my ground blind this year. It is hot and dry and just maybe I'll pick the right water hole. Anyway, I'll be practicing at the bowhunter happening on Saturday, hope you all have as much fun as me and the kids will have.

Can't wait. Be there for sure.

Hopefully a bull will die this year after my shuttle T zips through it's lungs. They are the perfect broad head for elk. At 30, 50, 80, or 100 yards +, they will fly true.

I'll be there Saturday morning. Can't wait.

A story in today's Philadelphia Daily News shows why it's so important that citizens be allowed to videotape cops - it can be citizens' only way to fight back against police abuse of power. This incident happened several weeks ago in Philadelphia to Mark Fiorino, a 25-year-old IT worker who carries a gun on his hip at all times for self defense. He got the gun after several friends were mugged. But he didn't count on attacks by police: On a mild February afternoon, Fiorino, 25, decided to walk to an AutoZone on Frankford Avenue in Northeast Philly with the .40-caliber Glock he legally owns holstered in plain view on his left hip. His stroll ended when someone called out from behind: "Yo, Junior, what are you doing?" Fiorino wheeled and saw Sgt. Michael Dougherty aiming a handgun at him. What happened next would be hard to believe, except that Fiorino audio-recorded all of it: a tense, profanity-laced, 40-minute encounter with cops who told him that what he was doing - openly carrying a gun on the city's streets - was against the law. "Do you know you can't openly carry here in Philadelphia?" Dougherty asked, according to the YouTube clip. "Yes, you can, if you have a license to carry firearms," Fiorino said. "It's Directive 137. It's your own internal directive." Fiorino was right. It was perfectly legal to carry the gun. But that didn't matter to the cop: Fiorino offered to show Dougherty his driver's and firearms licenses. The cop told him to get on his knees. "Excuse me?" Fiorino said. "Get down on your knees. Just obey what I'm saying," Dougherty said. "Sir," Fiorino replied, "I'm more than happy to stand here -" "If you make a move, I'm going to f------ shoot you," Dougherty snapped. "I'm telling you right now, you make a move, and you're going down!" "Is this necessary?" Fiorino said. It went on like that for a little while, until other officers responded to Dougherty's calls for backup. Fiorino was forced to the ground and shouted at as he tried to explain that he had a firearms license and was legally allowed to openly carry his weapon. "You f------ come here looking for f------ problems? Where do you live?" yelled one officer. "I'm sorry, gentlemen," Fiorino said. "If I'm under arrest, I have nothing left to say." "F------ a------, shut the f--- up!" the cop hollered. The cops discovered his recorder as they searched his pockets, and unleashed another string of expletives. Fiorino said he sat handcuffed in a police wagon while the officers made numerous phone calls to supervisors, trying to find out if they could lock him up. When they learned that they were in the wrong, they let him go. But only temporarily. Fiorino posted the audio recordings on youtube, and now they are harassing him again: A new investigation was launched, and last month the District Attorney's Office decided to charge Fiorino with reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct because, a spokeswoman said, he refused to cooperate with police... He's scheduled for trial in July. If one listens to the audiotapes, it's hard to imagine how a reasonable person could charge Fiorino (and not the cops) for disorderly conduct.
