Mike, a hot load doesnt really make that much difference, especially if it is a unsafe load, and/or un accurate. you may gain about 100 FPS or so which, when shooting a 140 grain bullet isnt that much more "umph"

thats pretty good right there!

With a bear that big, go full body! hes a biggun and ur un-likely to kill a bigger one!

Amanda, When dad and i get our bucks down ( double, both bucks at the same time) We will strike a perfect pose for a mug/Tshirt

WORD!!! to that! but he better make mine one of those 14 oz curls he was talking about!

First pic, lone buck... long ways off!! Second pic: one bedded buck, one feeding... the feeding buck laid down about 45 seconds after the pic to.. it was 6:58 am third, fourth, and fifth pics are of bucks we glassed up at about 350 yards.. little boys... decent mass on the bases, but only about 3 or 4 inches long.. one of them had a tiny split in his tops.. everything sure greened up out there!

it will do but i personally cant see justifying shooting the smallest gun when you could get a 243 or a 270 and be good to go!

I have both, never noticed a difference. My long range scopes ( they are leupold long range) are both 30 mm...

Amanda, I will gladly "test" a XXL shirt.. and I think my dad can put a mug to a "test" quite well!!!

Hes all WT, I like the two big ones, there nice!

Isn't ridiclous that we have to bomb proof our freaking Daughters so they don't get stolen?! HEY HEY HEY!!! I offered to pack out her 390" bull that I am going to spot! I also PM'd an offer for her to shoot/borrow my 30-06.. MY FIRST RIFLE I PURCHASED but, her father did not have the courtesy to write me back?!?! Doug, you think that thing can hold me back?! come on now :D:D:D (JUST KIDDING!!)

Hey, your not my boss anymore, aint gotta be a JACK@$$ anymore!!!! Remeber, I've got a pic of that cub... eerrr i mean bruin I could post it! Watch ur self!!!

did he mean to hit it in the head? cause a 440 yard shot tothe head (called to the head) is pretty dang good shootin!

Isnt it ridiclious that we have to bomb proof our freakin cameras so they dont get stolen?!

for your birthday, dad and i towed your old trailer.. .saw about 6 deer in a short amount of glassin time... 2 were bucks for sure, 2 others were a LONG ways off and i couldnt put antlers on em but the way they behaved they seemed like bucks! happy bday!

happy birthday you over compensating SOB! hope all is well!

I think he will die also! he dont look very good!

take pictures...

I do see your concern about the people who might have the physical limitations. It does suck that they might not be able to hunt the wilderness areas....but I think in general it would be better in the long run. I do agree with you that a majority road hunt the kiabab and that there is not a significant amount of deer taking....does anyone know what the average harvest for deer on the archery kiabab hunt? anyways, If they added some more archery hunts for deer i.e like DB said... late kiabab archery hunt or a early or late archery strip hunt. I do not see any harm in that. It is probably inevitable that archery will go to draw we will have to make the best of it. I would say if archery deer hunts do go to a draw system then I would hope they would do the draw by regions instead of particular units. Thats about the most logical statement i have read anywhere for a while. that is a EXCELLANT idea!

thats an awesome way to save a deer! I like the video of that goofy lookin fella giving that little bull water through a water bottle!

got mine! woohoo!

Gotta love his smile!!!! Josh, I agree with shortypants, good thing he looks like his momma!

Why would we make it private?!?! I dont mine walking or hiking at all, I would hike all day long just to spend a couple of house hunting in the holy grail of coues country ( look at the time right now, thats what im bout to go do) We have to think about those people who cant hike 15 miles a day, how are they going to hunt? ( ie my dad)... they need to have places to hunt also and we cant have them all jammed into a few sqaure miles. especially with 1000 tags in october, and 1000 tags in november. any type of limitations we as hunters support right now is just a foothold for later down the road when they try to make other restrictions on hunting. if you sit and really think about it, it will make sense. now, yes the Kaibab does get the vast majority or archery hunters... but most of the people that I have personally seen archery deer hunt up there are road hunting. not saying they dont see a single deer cause they road hunt, but i doubt those people kill enough deer to hurt the herd. In the world we are living in today, hunters and gun owners are looked down on as bad people.. If we allowand support people to limit anything having to do with our shooting/hunting rights, imagine what they will do and/or try to do with out our support.

WHAT THE F*&^.......You got a Dec. 36b tag?????Why didnt you tell us about this????? Did you just find out?????????? My bad Terry, I thought i had told you guys but i guess my posts got erased!!! Terry, Doug, Gino... I drew a December 36b tag!!!! woohoo!!!
