    Amazing Picture Thanks for sharing !
  3. This be the world we live in .... However, it is their right and freedom of speech and it is up to those of us who do not agree with the Anti Hunters to chime in and drowned out the nonsense. Also a good teaching tool for parents to help kids understand there will always be haters so it is best to ignore them. If I knew my kid was going up on Facebook with a hunting pic, I would dang sure discuss the opposition that will come from it before posting.

    I thought that Montana did not allow muzzle loader as legal method of take for turkey.... I guess raises a question I never thought of ... Is a muzzle Loader with shotgun barrel considered the same as a shotgun ... My thought is No, but could see where some could get confused.

    Stolen F250

    Keep in mind that Binos and other gear are not paid out by Auto insurance ... A persons Homeowners or Renters policy covers personal property that may be in the vehicle, and more times than not Hunters do not add on enough additional coverage for all their gear and guns... Always a good idea to know values on all your gear and guns and get that additional coverage in such instances.

    Backyard feeding

    nice buck ... maybe he will be feeding in December( if he makes it through the hunts) when you can use that stick and string again. From the pics I would say close to 110.... main beams look to have some decent mass.
  12. minus the forced holiday break and a few other Holidays .. that is over 180 days straight you say she would be working . Unless some days are very short or on call, I doubt that will fly salaried or not. Also, many state jobs have Unions involved , if there is A union involved hard to believe they would even let such a proposition begin.

    Shooting at NAU

    An everyday happening in Chicago , a City with the strictest gun laws, but you do not hear it much on national News... They want to roll this up as being the same as other Mass shooting just because it happened at a college campus and they can add it into their political agenda. Young people are Broken, because families are broken, because parenting is broken, because the are being raised to feel entitled and deserving and do not understand failure. We need a Media that does not make these Broken people inFamous because the deranged look at is as getting the fame through their failure.

    Do you use shooting sticks?

    I can see both sides on using tools like the the CLAW, and yes it is a tool to help make up for human error. My personal opinion and why I do not like seeing kids use them is because they are usually used in conjunction with Guns and Scopes, dialed in by an adult for long range shots, More often than not with guns that the kid could not handle off shoulder on their own.Seeing others use them, I have watched the adult do everything but pulling the trigger. IMO when teaching kids there should be a natural progression that starts with the basics no matter if it is rifle or archery. With rifles, you start with smaller calibers and iron sights and the kid learns the fundamentals. Small game to big game closing the distance close shots to taking the long shots. In archery thumping rabbits with blunts and a recurve or long bow all while building strength and working up to being able to handle the heavier draws and make the longer shots. I know the new fad is to utilize the latest tech to take and get the longest shots ( seems to be bragged about more than antler size these days) for the kill. However, as awesome as the feeling is to drop game at long ranges I have yet to meet a hunter that puts it even close to closing the distance and taking their trophy with open sights or with stick and string. I personally have witnessed 2 young hunters who have been shown how to shoot one way and that is off a claw, and though they have taken deer and elk in that manner, they both did not even have the slightest comfort or knowledge trying to shoot an iron sight 30/30. I think the hunting culture has changed dramatically since I was taught by my Dad and Grandfather, I can only hope that teaching my son in the same way he continues it down the line. Like Lombardi Said "Gentlemen, This is a Football" ... even pro athletes, sometimes need reminded and retaught the basics to become better and win.

    Pray for My Dear MOM

    Celebrate Her life, and remember she lives on through all her children, grand children and every generation to follow as well as her memories will in all the people blessed to share in her life.
  19. Light rain on your hunt is okay ... what you do not want is the 40-50 MPH winds like we had in 2010 for almost the entire hunt... I would have taken 80's and 50's over that cold, wet, and very windy weather that year. Beware what you wish for

    This should get him close as long as it had signal where he lost it and he had not turned off the find iPhone function in settings... a Friend Left hers in Mexico at a Bar and sis not realize until getting home ... Used the app , seen it was still in Bar called the Bar and they sent the phone back to her.

    San Carlos Antlerless elk

    I thought they had changed it so all ELK hunts required a guide ... or maybe I am just recalling wrong. OP .... assuming you have the dry lake and not Hill Top tag .... You should use the boundary map to be safe ... Check out north of Point of Pines along the Malay gap boundary back to the west staying in northern portion of the unit. Been a lot of years since being back there and back then the herd seemed pretty small.
  23. That is what is so nice about that late November Hunt... Low Temps ! ..... Hope the weather is good to you guys going down the end of the month.
