Getting rid of Roger Goodell, and Liberal ESPN would solve many problems. I'm not going to quit watching a sport that I love,because of some crybaby douche nozzles, that are using sports as a way to infiltrate the Liberal agenda onto my T.V screen. I remember when football used to be played by men

This country has gone Batshit crazy. Everything perpetrated by King Batshit Obama, and the flying monkeys.

That's a gnarly beast!

Elk camp booty call?

Says the guy without a tag lol. 'm sitting at a waterhole not hearing anything since it's windy as shoot right now but I'd rather be here than anywhere. The Elk can smell that cell phone signal

And here....... http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/68518-monster-montana-bull/ I must be behind the times.

Montana archer may have shot new world record elk It’s not official yet and still shrouded in secrecy, but the Boone and Crockett Club posted a photo and story on its website Tuesday showing what could be a new world record bull elk shot by a Montana archer. Views of the posting on Boone and Crockett’s Facebook and web page have topped 1 million, said Justin Spring, director of the club’s big game records. An official measurer scored the bull’s antlers at 429-6/8 net and 448-4/8 gross, according to the club’s website. That compares to the current archery world record of 412-1/8 points, based on the Pope and Young Club’s records of an elk taken in Arizona in 2005. Pope and Young is the keeper of archery records. The bull would rank No. 4 in the world when up against Boone and Crockett's rifle hunters. The No. 1 Boone and Crockett typical bull scored 442-5/8 and was shot in Arizona in 1948. The caveat is that before the Montana bull can be officially scored there is a required 60-day drying period. “They probably won’t be quite that big when they shrink and dry,” Spring said. But the likelihood that the antlers would shrink so much that they don’t beat the Arizona bull are fairly slim. “The green score of this bull is 4-3/8 higher than the current No. 4 typical bull in Boone and Crockett’s All-time Records,” Boone and Crockett reported on its website. According to Spring, “This bull may well be the largest typical American elk taken in the last 48 years.” In comparison, the highest scoring typical elk ever taken by a rifle hunter in Montana scored 419-4/8 and was shot by Fred Mercer. The largest elk shot by an archer in Montana scored 409-2/8 and was taken by Chuck Adams on a private ranch in Eastern Montana. A “typical” elk has symmetrical antlers whereas a “nontypical” elk has antlers that are oddly shaped. This new elk was shot by a Montana hunter who asked Boone and Crockett to keep his name and where he hunted secret until his buddy can get to the same spot and fill his tag before other ambitious hunters overrun the countryside, Spring said. What Spring did reveal is that the elk was shot by a “good, down-to-earth Montana hunter” who was hunting alone on Sept. 10. It took the hunter a couple of days to pack the bull out, making it seem likely the animal was shot on public land. “Generally we don’t hear about it so quickly,” Spring said, but he happened to know the scorer. “You hear those numbers and it’s something you have to follow up on.” “The existence of outstanding specimens like this incredible animal is testament that today's hunters, wildlife professionals, and conservation organizations are achieving tremendous success by practicing sound conservation and wildlife-management programs,” said Joe Bell, Pope and Young’s executive director, on the Boone and Crockett website. Spring said even though he has not filled his elk tag yet this season the Montana archer’s success gives him a spark of hope. “There’s a chance all of us might” bag a bigger bull, Spring said, “but I wouldn’t hold my breath.” He added, “I always thought I was a pretty good hunter until I started working for Boone and Crockett.”

You said "OUR", lol. Vikings fans = our team.. I have over 4 decades of disappointment invested Better watch out, Sundevil is going to come soon and tell how you can't use "our" when describing a team! Also, how you can't be a fan unless you're born in the stadium the team plays in! I was born about 90 miles south of the original Vikings stadium. That will have to do. The Vikings franchise was 1 year old, when I was born, in the same home town as John Madden. Just a little old fart trivia. Austin, Mn- Hometown of John Madden, Snapshot, .....and wait for it......yummy nummy SPAM.

Vikings just signed RB Ronnie Hillman who played well for the Bronco's last year. A new addition to "Our team"

I've never had a problem with "Buck fever", but I think I would get very weak in the knee's, with a bull like that 20-30 yards away.

I missed that post. My bad.

You might get lucky. At this rate, we might not have enough players left at the end of the season.

Very true. Unit 27 has kicked my butt for close to 40 years. I love every minute of it!

Matt Kalil, our starting left tackle is also out for the season.

The Vikings curse rears it's ugly head once again. After losing our franchise QB for the season, it has been announced that Adrian Peterson will undergo knee surgery to repair the damage to the injury that took place in the game against the Packers. He will most likely miss the remainder of the season. We have 2 other good RB's, but they are not in the same class as AP, especially when he has his groove on. Good defenses win championships. Let's hope so!

you need a short guy who looks chubby but really isn't (but kinda is) that can pack anything out and doesn't quit. My short guy is 5'6"ish, maybe 180 and is a F-ing pack mule!!!! Cheaper than a mule. Pay his food and reload for him and he works like a Swiss watch! Pushes me to a heart attack constantly but gets the job done. I'd sell you mine but that's been outlawed for awhile now. He forced me to drag my deer out last year, up hill in the snow both ways. Well maybe not forced but short Irish dudes get mad so I huffed and puffed and carried my coues out. I've already paid his retainer for this year. In my younger days, when that big red "S" on my chest ,was bright and shiny, I was known to throw that deer on my shoulders, and truck on down the mountain. One of the many reasons I have a bad back.

I pray...... that I can haul that animal out of the backcountry, without throwing out my bad back. I always pay silent respect to the animal.

My lightest rods are a couple of 3-weights. The X Diamond claims there are 30" fish in the river. I caught some quality fish, but nothing huge.

Big fish for a 1 weight. What size leader?

For private river fishing, check out the X-Diamond ranch, just outside of Greer towards Springerville. $50 a day per rod. Catch & Release.

I think Peterson's best day's as a RB are in the rear view mirror. Our O-line hasn't been able to run block, and open lanes for him. Not until the 3rd quarter, when Bradford got the defense spread out, did we start getting some running room.

I thought taking Peterson through the food court was strange. Avoiding the media?

It's a long season, and anything can happen. Vikings are racking up injuries at an alarming rate. Peterson tore his meniscus against Green Bay, and our O-line looks horrible.

Cardinals moved up to #3 after smashing Tampa Bay I'm a llifelong Vikings fan, but also a Cardinals fan. The Patriots are sitting at #1.
