I am pretty much there... Box scores and highlight reels are all I have been watching. Until the American people start making people in professional sports and entertainment suffer in the form of lost $$$$$$, this PC propaganda and Political vomit will just continue to run rampant. Does that stuff really bother you guys that much? I look at this way.. Most athletes are pretty dumb and stupid they basically get paid because they are physically gifted freaks of nature They get paid what they do because Idiot Americans Continue to pay higher ticket prices, higher concessions, buy expensive Made in China team merchandise while at the same time the New Norm is for tax payers to pay for Stadiums and then be extorted every 10 - 20 years for more or the team will leave. Ad revenue is their big money make and driven mainly( not entirely) by TV viewers. The NFL has wussified much of the game with stupid rule changes over the last 30 years. Sports and Entertainment for the most part are based off the history of The Coliseum and Gladiators, as a form of distraction from all the Political BS and Problems going on in Ancient Greece. In that respect I personally would like BS politics separate from my Sports and Entertainment.

Most of Alpine is in 27 ... Just stay south and west of 249 and south of the 180 to the border and you are fine.

Been a while Since I hunted 27 ... But always seen a lot of elk crossing the 572 south of Alpine ... Pretty sure you can still get to it... IMO I would be working through timber versus Sitting water but I am not an archery hunter either.

Seen them in pretty much every part of the state from The Grand Canyon to the Southern Border and everything in between, always close to water be it lakes, streams, or rivers. Hard to believe they are not indigenous.

cactus bucks do not shed their velvet ... They usually have neutured themselves to the degree they are not producing enough testosterone to trigger the shedding process nor breed. There are also cases of Doe having similar growth as a cactus buck due to ovarian abnormalities.

Baloo27 definitely a good guy to deal with ... Communicated promptly and through process as well as punctual meeting up.

Thanks Baloo27 ! Good Luck on all your future Hunts!

Looking for Waldo ?

Looks a bit like Big Bear ... DO not recognize the table though

What bullets .. Plenty of loads for .357 that should have no issue on Black or Brown Bear... I would be using at least a 6 inch barrel ... Not going to recommend a snub nose with 135 grain hollow points. Ammo is the key factor

.357 with Buffalo Bore 180 grain penetrators IMO with what you have ..or get you a S&W 460xvr with at least an 8 inch barrel and use it for both... Not that hard to get within 200 - 150 yards to an ELK

Hopefully, he will get at least a few nights to bust a nut and spread those genes before he is potentially taken out of play by some guy with a stick and a string. Nice bull

Ah Man That SUCKS ! I am talking about the picture!

Lots of places you can go but here is the reality ... Lower plateau (south half of state) 2-3 months Hot (at least a month really hot).... 1 - 2 months (2-4 in the far south) pretty dang cold if you want to swim you will want a heated pool. Upper Plateau (North Half of state) 3 - 4 months pretty dang cold varied amounts of snow depending on location. The rest of the year moderate heat with maybe with 1 - 2 months in the 90's to low 100's.

Think you have enough salt there ?

IA ... My bad ... not paying attention and my Iphone's spell check changes the J to an H ... I agree the better Pic of Non-Typical's snake looks like a prairie rattler now ( a.k.a Hopi ) You can really see the back pattern a lot better. Without seeing the head better I still think the OPs here is a Diamondback

OP both Mojave and Diamondbacks have the white and black banded tails ... IN this one you can see the white and black bands are almost equal in thickness ... in a Mojave the White Bands will be significantly larger than much thinner black bands.

Diamondback

He is a dink, you should pass on him Seriously, I do not see why so many get hung up on the score. You know an exceptional bull when you see him and 80-90% of guys that fill their tag this year will not harvest as nice of a bull as this.

I have not spent as much time in 1 and 27 this year, only a few trips since mid June. However during those trips seen many herds of cows, with anywhere from 20 - 80 head, and all but the smallest one had over 50% of cows with calves. The Antelope Herds I seen also looked to have had exceptional birthing, with lots of twins and fawns almost outnumbering the does. Not sure how much better this year is versus the previous five years but I am sure you can find the numbers in the G&F surveys.

If what I have heard about Harlan county is even a little accurate... they probably just stand back from any cam that is not theirs and take aim with their gun.

Road hunt ... You Just had Back Surgery
