hes been braggin to me bout puttin out a trail cam and gettin awesome pix! well, i hacked into his comp and this is the best pic he has!!!!!! good one brian, i would be in there for sure!

I have seen the javelina, doe buddy buddy system the coolest thing that ever happened to me was my dad and i were hoofin it up a mtn one day scouting for deer.. well we got about 3/4 of the way up and had to stop for a breather... we heard what sounded like something running behind us so we turned around to see what it was... a nice 3x3 about 70+ inches was being chased by a coyote!!! the deer ran within about 15 yards of me and turned around. i was like 15 so of course i didnt have a gun with me. both the deer and the coyote looked like they were about to die from all the running!

looks like sometime after the november hunt is over then its on!

SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! i told you that in condifence that you wouldnt tell!!! I cant let him shoot a bigger buck than me OR Jori!!!!!!!

Learn how to smile foolio!!!! you better smile in the pix with that 105" im gonna find you!!

glass till your but and eyes hurt, take a 20 minute break, then glass till the sun goes down!

Minox would have been great on Linnea's Hunt No one had time to put any glass on that Bull before he hit the ground Maybe I will put my Swaros up for sale and buy some Bushnells to hang around my neck just to have some Binos to look at the Game laying on the ground before I hike over to it Mike What you really needed was some Leica glass, but of course we know how that went!

Fork= Gabreil Gonzaga 3x3=Mirko Cro cop!!! nce!!

I wear about 4 or 5 different patterns... hardly ever do the pants match the shirt.

i would say 2-3 days sounds about right.

Agreed! Very honorable post right there!

Jim, man brotha you sure make that goat look good! nice job! good thing bridger was with you or you might have gotten lost!

Well, now that you bring it up, it does usually have rocks in it.... thanks Jim, Christian! here is what i usually carry: Water ( a nalgene, and 100 oz camelback) 2 knives, bone saw tripod first aid kit.. bandaids, ib profen, gauze,tape iodine for water food usually jerky and a burrito gps,compass marking tape TP i usually carry about a box of shells total between whats on my gun and whats in my pack space blaknet emergency pancho

clean out your ears old man! i have a big butt, i need a big buck!

I gotta pack my dads beer sometime! when he runs out of beer, we run out of glassin time! I dont need no stinking GPS! If i cant find the truck from 50 yard, then i shouldnt be hunting!

my vote for cover is that stud Firstcoueswas80's 112" drop tine buck he shot in December of 2007

I checked them out at Jim Whites house, and I liked them but i dont think they would work well for glassing for coues.

I could tell there was some illegal traffic there... could see a decent trail but nothing to outragoues. there were a few water bottles and such but nothing like i have seen in other places.

if there was a campground, it was right there next to the ramp... that big open area....

very nice. congrats on a very respectable bull... bigger than any i have killed!

he was still movin, i left him there! dad was like what the... why didnt you bring him back!

thats what the 40 S&W is for! had to use it today as a matter of fact!

I usually am hunting alone, so will be prepared to spend the night out or ready for some minor injury. I have had the barrel plugged with mud when the rifle slipped of the shoulder, hence the aluminum rod. The raingear is weather dependent. Have had a sharp seed in the eye, hence the mirror. the 2.5 readers are since I cannot see close well; wish i had that 20/15 vision of my youth again. Trash compactor bag is great for putting deer quarters in and keep your gear blood free. Usually do not have the small sharpening stone except on an elk hunt. The electrical tape is good for keeping raim, snow, twigs, etc out of the barrel. Wish I had it taped when it went muzzle first in to the mud on an elk hunt as I lost half a day going back to camp to get to the cleaning kit and recheck the zero. Latex gloves for skinning; good friend got a nasty infection from skinning/gutting a bear once with a small cut on his hand. Must be the Boy Scout in me still: Be Prepared. I do not want to be the hunter you read about who left camp with just a Snickers bar and a knife, and got lost.Doug~RR Thats how I grew up hunting then dad and I found out how to hunt.

Too much! But I weight too much naked!

that is one neat bull for sure... to bad to hear about the poor shots but great job staying with it
