    Personal preference?

    THAT is exactly the kind of buck I've been dreaming of since I started bowhunting. Perfect specimen of a mature typical mule deer.
  2. Maybe you could contact them directly through their website? If the data was used for promotional purposes, I would think theyd be happy to distribute it.

    Personal preference?

    Id go wider. But heres another question, lots of junk or nice clean typical frame? Some of the gnarly ones can be impressive, but I dont think theres a more beautiful mount than a nice clean 4x4 with deep forks, good eye guards and a 25-30" spread.

    Spring Rains - Great Yr. for our Wildlife

    Great year for antlers and going to be an outstanding year for small game and birds I think. Quail dove rabbits and squirrel populations dont need much encouragement to explode, I think the snow up high and the rain down here ought to do it.

    Great grandfather's hunting rifle

    Awesome... Please please please post pics These are his war trophies that I have. My aunt has a nice double edged knife with the eagle grasping a swastika emblem on it that was carried by the SS. and, as stated, his long guns were sold off per the boss's order decades ago. Granny didn't like guns in the house.

    Great grandfather's hunting rifle

    Nice bits of family history. Very cool. I have a box in my closet with a couple pistols grandpa brought home from germany in wwII. No long guns though, grandma made him get rid of those so he hid the pistols.

    Feds going hog wild stupid in Havasu

    At least they shoot them here in az. In ny theyd be giving vasectomies to the boy piggies and oral contraceptives to the girl piggies, and teaching all the little piggies that even though they look like a boy piggie if they feel like a girl piggie than they can be one if they want to be, and other little piggies still have to like them, and if theyre unhappy at all about anything its all trumps fault.

    Hunting with Glocks and non hunting pistols(pics page 2)

    Only magazine requirements in the state are for migratory game birds. I mistakenly thought that the 5-round mag limit they used to have for semiautomatic rifles was for all semi-auto weapons. I went back through the regs as far as 2010 and can't find it anywhere though. Guess it's not a change, I was just ill informed.

    Hunting with Glocks and non hunting pistols(pics page 2)

    What are the rules pertaining to autoloading pistols? Is there a magazine capacity rule or something? There's been a couple times the last few years that I carried my 9mm due to concerns over bear (or other large critters that aren't really supposed to be here) and had an opportunity at a real close range coyote shot (about 10 ft.) and some small game, but I thought it would be illegal to shoot them with my pistol. Guess I need to keep abreast of rule changes a little better.

    LOOKING FOR LAB PUPS

    My lab is the best dog I've ever had in the family. Only negative is she incredibly shy around strangers. We tried socializing her and taking her out when she was a pup, but just never warmed up to people she doesn't know. That having been said, she's an incredible family dog and great with our little kids. Shes turning 7 this year so we'll be shopping for another pup in the next few months so she can start training her successor. Dang good breed.

    What Not to Do on a Javelina Hunt

    We've all done stupid stuff, the real idiots are the ones that have to make the same mistake more than once before they finally get it. Glad you guys are alright.

    LOOKING FOR LAB PUPS

    Mine ate the control wiring on my ac units, but never really much other than that. She's retarded in other ways...

    Any motorcycle guys want to help me win a contest???

    Thank you sir, appreciate the help. I had an old shaft drive Yamaha years ago. It was nice, but not near as fun as twisting the grip on a sport bike and feeling the front wheel come up. Boys and their toys...
  20. This is a contest to be a 'test rider' for a day for this start up motorcycle company. My company did some of the prototype work on the drive train for this thing, and as much as I'm not a big fan of v-twins, I'd love to throw the thing around for a while since we worked on it. this link is personalized for me, so it automatically reenters me 3x for every person that signs up through my link. The answer to the question on the entry is: New York City http://www.vanguard.nyc/giveaways/testrider/?lucky=295

    The head lights are the 2 rows of 3 little tiny LED things on the front. It's a pretty interesting design to say the least. Looks like they were trying to make a sporty/street-fighter kinda thing, but I'm not sure they hit the bullseye on it... it is consdierably heavier than virtually any japanese crotch rocket and also much slower. Although with Ohlins suspension and brembo brakes, I'm sure it probably handles pretty well, for a chubby girl that is. It is shaft driven, those are the components that we made (which is another negative for something that is supposed to be quick).

    Recent Trailcam Pictures

    That's how they look when they're working the rocks out of a mouth full of salty dirt. They eat the dirt but spit out the rocks, that's why on really old salt licks they look like giant holes with gravel covered bottoms. There's some on the kaibab that are about 10 ft. diameter. I've see them do that from the treestand, it's pretty funny. Little pebbles falling out of both sides of their mouth.

    Help in unit 22.

    Been dry and warm for a couple weeks now. If its dried out up there, focus around washes that still have water in them.
