    Spandex Mafia

    When I first moved down to the valley of the scumNot sure how I feel about this comment.Anybody that hunts and prefers to work for their bread is obviously excluded from it. Anybody that lives with a sense of entitlement, thinks successful people owe their lazy butts something and/or says 'undocumented' where the word 'illegal' should be used is most certainly included in that statement. Which type do you suppose theres more of down here? This place is a prison. Ive got 2.5 years left on my sentence before you see a flatbed full of machine tools heading north. Im counting down the days (still to long to count down minutes ) Dang you must be in the wrong part of the city. All my friends are hunters, co workers are hunters, kids friends love hunting camping, etc. On the other hand i have known plenty of lazy welfare recepients who live in the rural parts of the state Payson Prescott etc and claim they are somehow better than the people in the city who prefer to work for a living. Yeah, I can't disagree with a word of that. I've been very fortunate and have met a lot of great people since I've been down here, more than a couple off this site. I'm having a negative moment I guess. I'm gonna go get a fresh cup of black coffee, change my wet panties, man up and quit crying. There's no time to whine when there's work to be done.

    Spandex Mafia

    When I first moved down to the valley of the scum I lived only a little more than a half mile from work, so I'd ride my mountain bike a lot. I learned real quick that bike lanes are for idealistic aholes with a death wish. I'll ride a little slower on the sidewalks with the pedestrians.

    Balls anyone? Rocky Mountain Oysters!!!

    You're going to eat what now???
  5. Ive not read one specific to desert mule deer, but id check out dwight schuh's 'hunting open country deer'. It has a lot of technique and tactics that are applicable to all open terrain environments. He's written a couple of books and about a million magazine articles. Any thing written by either dwight schuh or larry d jones can be counted as gospel. These guys are a couple of the original hardcore backcountry diy bowhunters/writers from way back when. Cameron hanes and the eastmans also put out some great books, but I've never read anything from them about desert deer. Not saying they havent touched the topic, but their stuff that I've read has all been specifically high country. There was a great book put out buy the north american hunt club about 20 years ago titled 'mastering mule deer' by wayne van zwoll that is very detailed on diet and other info, and also covers all terrain types from desert to above treeline. Not the most interesting to read, but loaded with great information.

    You guys are awsome

    Ive hunted cali a couple times, both tries unsuccessful. Got to see some amazing country and spent a few nights backpacking in the ventana wilderness right off the coast. Absolutely awesome country. It is a travesty that a state with so much to offer is so effed up by liberalism. California badly needs a right wing uprising.

    Nice buck and bull. Welcome to the site. A lot of good guys in cali that are tired of getting screwed by libtards over and over again. If that is where you're coming from, I cant blame you for wanting to get the heck out. Whether you're from there or not, you picked a great state to retire in.

    My son's second bull (and a dead head)

    Congrats to your son on a fine bull. Congrats to you on raising a good boy that knows how to work. We need a lot more of that.
  17. It seems like every time I log onto this site, I'm continually amazed by the good character of so many of you guys. Congrats to you Hoghunter, there is no greater blessing that you could receive. Your pictures and funny descriptions just made my day.

    DOJ suing Denver Sheriff Hiring

    True statement. Heard on the radio yesterday that obama is trying to jam through a bunch of 'national monuments' right before he leaves office, just like clinton did. One of which is the Grand Canyon watershed. One final middle finger and a fond eff-you! to rural america before the divider in chief skulks off back to Chicago.

    No Respect - Gold Star Family Booed

    "Good to a thousand" mentality??

    Hunting is all the moments leading up to that squeeze o trigger. this is true, but it takes away the 2nd hardest part of the hunt. the first is locating them. but if you can shoot them from where you located them, theres a lot less "hunting" involved usually. if i had a little kid, i dont think i would want them shooting far or out of one of those triclawps things. learning to get close and have the chance of busting them is part of hunting. if you can them out of a vice with a sniper rifle from 800 that aint teaching them much except how to pull a trigger I think of it a lot like golf. You have different clubs for different shots. Likewise in hunting, you never know what youll be faced with on any given day. Also, your personal life and available time has to be considered. I'd prefer to be reasonably close for my shots. I like 40 to 50 yards best. Animals jump the string too much closer than that, and we all know the arguments about long shots. But this year, im faced with a very limited time situation. So I'll hope for my 40 shot, but will be prepared for 80. I can see the same logic with a rifle hunt. Probably everyone would love that 150 stationary shot, but its nice to be able to make that 800 yard on if you have to, or just decide to on that day.

    8 1/2 months prego, Am I crazy????

    If she wants to hunt, take her hunting. If she changes her mind and wants to watch tv, then you stay home with her and hold her hand. The one thing you don't do is argue with a woman thats that far pregnant. They'll sit on you if you tick them off, I had it happen before...
