Yes Lance, I would also like to see some kill pics caus I think you are gettin these pics off a calender. I'm going thru my old ones now caus I remember these from somewhere. Please post off a new calender so they won't be so grainy please. Ok, I was just kidding caus I can't get any pics of my own. Cool off there big guy. TJ

Gino....any idea where mike is planning on having this big camp? I'm sure he is providing all the eats for at least one night wouldn't you think? Casey.......Do you know how to cook? Looks like Mike is going to need one. TJ

Charlie, my BAD on this reply. Sorry! I said Casey instead of you.

Thanks for these pics as well tony. These have to be the clearest pictures I've ever seen in my life. Enjoyed!

If you pack out her 390" bull I will be glad to carry your LEICAS so they don't get SCRATCHED and you aren't one of those guys who has to wear designer camo clothing with a neck tie and hair in place under a new camo hat are you? Caus you going to look funny with us old non punk kids. I'll take real good care of them tascos or what ever they are! Mike, don't let Casey know about my collect of things in my camper. Gino,Troy.......Remember to use you southern hospitality on this southerner.

Very very nice Tony. You have a lot of memories and I hope you add to them with many more years to come. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed viewing your collection. TJ

Don't take it to personal Casey. Some of these rim hunters take their hunting pretty serious. TJ

Nice shot from top of the world. Is that a plasic tank you put there or a G&F drinker? Just wondered! I been thinking about putting my own out. Don't really know how legal but I don't see why not. Thanks for sharing, them are nice pics Casey. Thought the same on the claw mark! TJ

that's a challenge I will take personally. Glassing Clinic, how funny is that It will be ok Casey, because you won't be the first one we had to educate on finding the critters. It will make you a better hunter once you ride along on GH's daughter's hunt. TJ

Casey, I just love your enthusiasm about hunting. You remind me of myself when I was your age. I spent every hour of every day off in the woods since I was 10 yrs old. I hope you're keeping a journal because when you get my age you won't remember all the times scouting & hunting. You think you will but you won't. Go get'em! One more thing...........don't worry about getting to the top of the mountain to fast. Start using them new glasses and slow down!!!!!!!!!!! TJ

Your right Jason. It isn't the size of the horn but the taste of the meat. Ask any women!

What kind of lights did you get to fit your decoy and do they come on by solar panel or battery? I've never seen them in a catalog before. Thanks for sharing!

Ok, here's what I'll do, tho. Tomorrow I'll start a thread in Other Big Game, upload pictures of my trophy rooms and maybe some more "hero' shots from the field. How's that? -TONY I think that would be fine with me. Let's see'em Tony.

Good story Tony. Thanks for replying. TJ

Nice looking buck. Thanks for sharing and reminding me of one like it a couple years ago that I got buck fever on and could not pull my bow back. I'm shaking all over agaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin. TJ

What makes you think that all them elk are walking around dying of a slow death from a poorly shot arrow? That is what the PETA and anti would like people to think. Yes, it happens but I like to think most poorly shot animals recover and if they don't then most dye quickly and the feed chain continues as nature intended but with a little help. I wonder if G&F have any statistics on how many they think survive a poorly placed arrow or bullet. Maybe Amanda would know. Diamondbackaz.......I never intended to place you in any catagory other than a supporter and sportsman of coueswhitetail.com. Your quote would bring up a good TOPIC on how everyone thought the outcome plays out. Tony...you've been around the block a time or two. Do you have any insight you care to share on the topic?

Thanks for sharing that one with us. Reminded me of the time I decided to clean an elk head for a friend who left it in water for weeks and it spoiled. I brought it home and put it on the roof. When maggots started falling from the house and the neighbors complained of the smell my wife said enough. Well, I had to finish the job. Never did get the smell out of the antlers and the roof smelled for months. Something to think about here .........One of a poacher's old tricks is to kill an elk and cut the head off and put it in a tree only to return later to recover the anlers once it has been cleaned by birds. Many of poachers have been caught this way. It's good you got the video just in case you needed it and you are a better man than me to have tackled that raunchy head. You must have edited the part of you puking while removing the head. TJ

The video was awesome and this redneck even got pumped up with the music.

The answer to your guestion is ........kiss your a*& good bye. Just kidding, you got some good information from everyone. My Mother use to put us kids under the bed when it lightninged so you will find me in my truck scared to death. I've been bit on the boot and had several close calls with rattlers and I'm on the look out for those guys all the time. Really, they don't scare me that bad.

Great pictures Tony. That has got to get those tag holder's blood flowing for sure. You're a great asset to this site. I think I've seen that picture of your younger days somewhere. Was it in a magizine once? TJ

No one will listen but here is what I've learned over the years of not taking care of myself. Azpackhorse.....Talk about trama, now I can't run but have to walk for exercise because of a titaniun plate in my neck, recent rotator cup surgery, over weight, and NOT LISTENING to my elders. Casey ...........them football shape days are over and will distance themselves quickly .....stay after it. Ron G..........sounds like you're on track David....keep the dust off the treadmill Jim....elyptical is the way to go....just started myself......let Casey beat you to the top just to let him think he can

Wow, them pictures are making me want to forget about a meat elk and go for the big one. Thanks Gino for sharing. TJ

Never new leica made them in green ........them sure look like a pair of tasco to me. Just foolin around Casey, nice set up and good luck on your hunt. Will you be using them on Game Hauler's daugther's elk hunt? TJ

Good Birthday card of you and your Pop.
