grey curse

Being the reason why we are seeing fewer post of successful hunters and pictures to go with. Someone will find something wrong with the post/ picture and start the tongue lashing. Picking every detail apart instead of just enjoying the post for what it was intended.

Just want to get a feel of how cw members are viewing point guard lately. I feel that it started with a theory to help out hunters in bad times but has changed to help hunters get draw or trophy desires. I know of people putting in for hunts with applicants that have a lot of bonus points, then when drawn the applicant with all the points returns the tag never intending on using what they put in for. All just so their buddy / spouse can get drawn. Or hunters are just returning tags because they can’t find the “trophy “ they want, ie dry year no horn growth. I thought the intent of point guard was to be able to return tags and keep points if a hunter got hurt , feel on hard times ex... maybe I miss understood the purpose of point guard. By continuing this thought process and actions it will make getting drawn harder for everyone, except the people mentioned above. At this point I hope game and fish puts some requirements behind using it. I’m sure me wanting more regulations from game and fish will bring some tongue lashings my way.

No way could you pass that buck up with a bow or s rifle for that matter

That’s awesome. She’s a natural

This is more of the point I was making and how it effects everyone. Thus being the reason “why are you concerned with how other people live their life?“ Also with as many people saying they think this use of pg is legal and morally okay. It effects draw odds, Maybe not by much but still effects it. Also if tags are donated back to an organization “ which I think is the only way a tag should be returned” no points are used thus increasing point creep.

Good points for finding downed animals but even better for archery spot and stock. I have more issues relocating bedding game that I glassed up across canyons. Hopefully use some of these strategies this weekend

Best post on this whole thread.

Good luck, you would have to exiled half the people on here.

Been throwing this idea around for a few years now. Thinking of starting up at the first of the year. Keep us posted on your plan, progress and issues you run across.

That’s funny.

Waited 10 yrs to draw a archery tag in Utah. Got the tag and passed on two really good bucks the first four days of 11 day hunt. Never had another opportunity at either on of them Kick myself everyday for that decision. But at least I had a chance to shoot a whopper just choked bad. Think I did everything wrong, jerk the trigger, drop arm, didn’t aim small, heck think I even closed my eyes. Yeah he was big.

Mule deer. Ears are huge, and the third to last pic is not a whitetails tail.

Just received an email from vortex with this new uhd line of razor optics. I carry a pair of 10x razor hd on my chest and short glass with them before I pull out the swaro 15 hd. For the price I think they are a good glass. Was looking into getting a pair of 12 el’s but the price kills me. Grand less for 12 uhd. Wonder how they will compare to the el’s

Comparing 18s to 15s is not apples to apples. To bad they’re not all 15s. The 18s will not be as bright or clear.

My Father bought my 11 yr old a barracuda chipmunk model 22. Which does not have option for iron sights. So I’m trying to copy my dads Ithaca 22 scope and mount which is a sweet little set up but can’t find the ringless mounts and google is not helping. I found the Bushnell custom 22 scope with turret on eBay but mounts aren’t as easy. Any help would be appreciated. Here’s some pics of the Ithaca

Yes it’s definitely a little vintage. But if my 11 wants to be like his 76 yr old papa who am I to say no. Thanks for the help.

Throwing the idea around of passing down the 10s, selling spotting scope and 15s. Getting 12s and btx someday. Would weight within .5 lbs of what I’m packing around now.

food at any time of the year is baiting and most scents have been outlawed as well to “protect our herds against cwd”. If you are in an area that doesn’t already have thousands of mineral licks and deer are in the area they will find it.

??? Not sure. But it’s sounds interesting

Was thinking of the At One thumbhold on my kids American predator as well. Be interesting to hear pros/cons.

Here is a easy way to understand the law. Simple don’t use them after June 1 2019.

^^^^That’s funny. Exact same thought here until I saw the outlet. Lol

Thanks for the update. All good knowledge to have passed along

Catfish, not to side rail the post but have you had a chance to get the Leupold 15x56 hd bino’s out yet? Wondering how they turned out. Was thinking of looking through their 12’s.

Of coarse lighter is better in Coues terrain but besides recoil value, stability plays a huge factor it weights of rifle and long range accuracy. With scope I prefer the 9-10 lbs rifle. On that note tho I don’t spend as much time behind my rifle at the range as I should and probably could shave a pound or two if I did
