Sheep hunts are only cool because they are once in a lifetime.

Tough issue for sure, no measure will prevent all mass shootings except removing the human being. I wish I had the answer, unfortunately it is much more complicated than what it appears. Pleasing both sides of the argument is just about impossible. Will raising the minimum age help? I am doubtful, as few mass shootings have been carried out by fellows between 18-21. Does the Gov't need to step in and do something? I think yes, exactly what needs to be done is very complex and it will not be accomplished by one single measure.

Yeah, expect it to be announced tonight...

Depends on what time of year, I have sent different pairs in 3 times and the longest was 5 weeks with both other times coming in 2-3 weeks. If you call them before you send them in, they will give you a pretty accurate time frame.

84" on up IMO. lots of goats seem to fall in the 77-82" range. In my experience, I tend to gravitate more toward length than mass, and that is opposite of what you want to do if you care about the actual score. I passed on a buck that scored 82" with my bow only to have another buddy kill him the next day. I wanted the one in my avatar more and he is shy of 80" but has 16" + horns with a better shape imo. The one that scored 82" had 14" horns but had ridiculous mass. Really comes down to preference and what you are trying to achieve.

365 bull = 84" goat

Is the gland still on the back?

Cams have helped success rates quite a bit. I know it has for me and guys i know. Lets say you are on an elk hunt and you know bulls are gonna hit water soon, you put cameras on 6 water holes and sit the 7th. The next day you look at the pictures and notice they are hitting tank 2, you then move your blind to tank 2 and start hunting tank 2. I know for elk this works pretty well, once they find a water source without pressure on it, they will continue to hit that source until something makes them change. Might not be clock work, but they will hit that tank again more than likely. I used them on javelina in a metro unit and we were able to knock down some pigs. I put tons of miles on my boots, but never could find those little stinky basterds. After putting cameras in some of the washes, we were able to get a better idea of where they were traveling and changed out hunting plans accordingly.

They both look good, but the second one looks better. First one looks happy because of lip line and maybe the ears being stuck straight out as opposed to slightly pinned back

I ordered 2 thru a trust, they are still in jail and now I am thinking I should have went individual. The wait time is 100 days less on average right now and really the trust basically allows trustees to also possess said suppressor as well. When you die, the trustees will take possession of it or if you had beneficiaries, they will be able to submit paperwork to take possession of it. They will need to go thru the same check as you and your trustees ( fingerprints, pictures and background check). I guess I'm selfish, but i do not really care what happens to my silencer after I die. I do not see the anchor shooting suppressed weapons when I am gone, if she wants to, she can go thru the process then. Now, if they were really expensive, it would be another story. A used silencer is not the easiest thing to sell and they do not fetch a lot of money. Well, I just talked myself into ordering another without using my trust. This thread was helpful. haha

Framing foremen making 150k a year? You pay well.

You will learn that if you start a guy at higher wage, your candidate pool will become better. The guy you hire will also be more inclined to work and make you money. $10.50 an hour for construction, is a laborer. You can not expect more than a guy that will follow directions 50% of the time and may or may not show up a day or 2 every 2 weeks. I do not agree with it, but that is reality.

They all are solid bows. Really comes down to personal preference. If your preference isn't Mathews or Bowtech you are getting left behind tho. haha Shoot to kill em not to hoyt em. In all seriousness, I just shot the flagship bows from Mathews, Bowtech and Hoyt. I rank them: 1. Bowtech Realm 2. Mathews Triax and 3rd Hoyt RX1. Just my preference, your's may be different.

Yeah, that's a big mistake. It is usually the lowest of the low who argue to make them honor the incorrect price. We all know it was an honest mistake, but there will be guys who make a stink about it.

I am sure, if it really bothers you, you can google it and try and figure it out.

Sorry man, I am far. I live in North Peoria.

Oz31p- I like that little offset bar. I have a new Micro head on the way, If I run into that issue as well, was it difficult for you to make that? I might be interested in one.

This is horseshit.. So what if he lived there for 6 months, got the tag and then moved back. If this wasn't a cliff carp, I'm sure this doesn't get this far.

They are not tougher than any other animals. They are small animals with small vitals. Thats what makes them hard to kill. To the op questions, I would craw in with an fixed blade arrow in my hand and a head light. finish off and drag him out. What did you do? I would pay good money to see you crawl into that cave with an arrow and stab that wounded pig. haha. The video would be priceless.

So, I think there should be a distinction between the two different types of situations. The caveat is there needs to be a time limit to self report. I see this option turning into a way for poachers, who know they are possibly busted, to self report and receive a lower sentence. There would have to be a bunch of qualifiers included in the law language to distinguish between the 2 minimum penalties. i.e. shoot wrong specie during a lawful hunt, exceed bag limit during a lawful hunt. In other words, do not let blatant violators have an option to self report if they get remorse or if they feel they have been busted by another hunter. The language would have to be very specific.

Both are about 27% Interesting, GoHunt disagrees. Did you pull those from TopRut or calc them yourself? Looks like hunterstrailhead puts both around 18%

I have owned both the hunting and the tactical frames. As Rossislider said, the tactical is just a little more rigid and also has a few more connection points for straps. The hunting frame is plenty strong enough for what I do and I have gone to it exclusively. As far as switching bags back and forth, the newest hunting frame makes it a lot quicker job than the previous models. I would say it takes less than 5 minutes to switch a bag over. Most of the new bags have the meat shelf capability, which is essentially taking the top of the bag off the frame and using the cinch down straps to secure the bag to the frame. The adjustability of the frame is what really sets Kifaru apart from lots of other companies. The frame can be adjusted for length of torso pretty easily and ensure most of the weight will ride on your hips and not on your shoulders.

Isn't what you want in stock in that picture? Are you trying to find it cheaper than the listed price?

Kifaru are great packs, but they to lack the individual pockets that some guys like. You can always add pouches onto them thru the molle system, but most of their packs only have a few compartments. I have been running the 22mag this deer season and it is my favorite pack so far from them. I also have the DT2 and the reckoning if I choose to go on longer trips more than a couple nights. You can not go wrong with a Kifaru. Stone glacier and Exo are a few other packs I'd look at if Kifaru does not fit what you are looking for.
