Okay here is my question to all of you: lets say you find a nice water hole and your camera has been there for months and you have nobody on camera and no vehicle/quad tracks in the area. Then one afternoon you are setting up your blind and think hey that tree would be a great place to set up a tree stand then there it appears. Now everytime I have gone in this place I have never seen that tree stand because of the time of day. So today when I went in to set up my blind I see it clear as day because of the sun. This is a metal tree stand so I climbed up the tree and took a look at it. Now this thing is not in bad shape but you can tell it has been there for awhile and it is locked. I am thinking by the faded lock and staps and seat it has been since August of last year. 1)I still set up my blind but now is that tree stand considered abandoned? 2)Also would you still have set up your blind? 3)First come first serve right? But that means I can set one up and use it 3 years from now and if anyone else moves in they are wrong? So if I get there before they do I get to hunt correct? 4)Did I do right by setting up my Blind? Tell me what you would do if you or have you stubbled upon this.:sick:

Well I have decided to just go there and if someone is there than we will leave and if we are there and they show up I guess I would expect the same. Thats sportmanship/ethics.

Here are a few pics to get you going.

That is a great Idea but you are now making money on forest service land (I thought it was our land) but if you even have a pancake breakfast out in the hills they will charge you a percentage of your profits and you will need a permit. You may want to look into it first before ya get out and may get into trouble. You may also need insurance first before you can even get your permits.

Sweet thanks for sharing.

I bought a used pair of 15x56 from t1007 and had the warranty trasfered into my name by registering them on the internet. T1007 did call swar. and told them he would be selling them to me. It went smooth. Oh and T1007 thanks again they are the best!!!!

See the problem is that the people that are jelous will usually start crap or spread roumers about something so small and throw it out of proportion and the other people that are NORMAL usually think that this is the crazyest topic there ever was. To all their own.

Clay, I'm thinkin' you should add that to your Résumé..... I'm sure that those comments will move you to the front of the line with every Outfitter in the state! After all it only takes 3 crisp $100 bills to get that guide's license! Never mind all the really good guys that hunt that country and bust their tails that are now looking for a new "spot"... Hope it is one of your 100's of spots! Your "new" hunting buddy hit a home run on this deal... Glad all that country burned up... it might make this Flub a bit less painfull for all the good guys that love those hills. Nate, You need to man up..... .... If my hunting partner had loose lips like yours..... 2 other units would have maps like **a does.... You see lighting does NOT strike twice....My hunting partner is not only a blessed man, but also a Gracious one and not only truely respects the grey ghost but also the other Men and Women who chase it. I believe the term: Even a blind Squirrel... was used???? You are great at the strut but you have the swagger of a Lucky Duck.... There are a lot of guys on this forum that have put in years and decades of chasing these wicked little deer only to have their Arses handed to them, again..... You disrespect them, IMO. Don't ever forget that you were far more lucky than good.... as we all are when we harvest a coues with a bow. We all know the story of you standing on the side of the road with an un-gutted deer acting like you just shot a 100"er..... you need a steady diet of humility, cuz the diet of stupidity you have been on is stinking the place up. Humble up and shut up..... those are my two words of advice..... Best of luck on your up coming season. Amanda..... it has ben a while since the D.D. side of me has reared up.... sorry for that, but not sorry for what I said. Beau.... you are really more old school than I ever imagined...... Kudos! Okay then you need to tell all of the outfitters the same thing you just told me. Hello that is how they make there living. Look at every outfitter website and you will see that they mention the unit of where the bucks were killed what it scored where they hunt what hunts they offer so on and so forth. HELLO thats what they do. You just put your ugly foot in your mouth, . By the way unit 24A is the only unit I hunt deer in and always have since I was 10 that is where I have my hundreds of spots (that one back fired didn't it) You really have no clue of what is going on do you. I think you may be the ROOKIE. Oh by the way it looks as if this topic backfired. Now who looks like the ROOKIE This website use to be fun but all I see on here anymore is bashing. Amanda is a great person and I Know she does not deserves this. I am done with this good night and goodbye.......

Oh my god it is a MAP of 24A woopeee. That is a big unit. But everyone knows the exact location. Okay then lets see how this blows over there are over there are 6 salts set out by me if you can find them then I will give you a 100.00 each. Good luck.

Here is my little guy. He is already gone out with me to check cameras a couple of times. He has already shot my P22 pistol but needs help shooting it. He can also name every species just by seeing the pictures. Anyways I can keep going so here is his picture,

Almost everyone I know that hunts those mountains have had their cameras, blinds, treestands stolen. There are just too many people in that area so what kind of a secret is it. Its like the Kiabab everyone knows there are big muleys their.

General area (from what I have heard). Everyone knows and has known about the area thats why I go else where. Its like a hwy up there anyway. But if you do your research you can find some great spots. I used to hunt it when I was younger but like I said everyone just drives around. So really its nooo secret!!!!

Oh well life goes on. Then I would just find a new honey hole in matter of days. Thats why I have countless honey holes. DUH "even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then".... Obviously you aren't even blind. You just don't exist. Did you guys read the book on how to find honey holes too... or did u watch the movie... Clipnotes, buddy didn't you go to college?

I have COUNTLESS honey holes I will never run out because most people are too lazy to get off their A$$ and walk. Not a single person has gone to even one of my honey holes. And if they do there are many, many, many more to find everyone knows that. Sounds like some people have jealousy issues.

I think if someone wants to tell where he killed an elk,deer,pig so on and so forth he has all right to do so. If he then goes and hunts a different area then so be it. How many times have you said, "oh I saw a nice three point at so and so mountain". We all do it and you can't say you have never done it because thats like telling your wife you were not looking at her A$$ you were poping your neck. Don't forget high school is over so learn how to grow up. THATS MY 2 CENTS.

Looks like some buck fever happened.

Okay here are some great pics I got: This buck was a 2x2 last year here is what he looks like so far: (notice the right cut in ear) Here is a buck from a different location: (notice the cut in top of the right ear) Here is a bigger buck from the same location: Here is an smaller buck from a different location: (notice the curl on the top left ear) Okay and the last set are baby bobcat, coyote, and fox: I hope you all enjoyed the pictures. I get on average 1000 pictures in just a week. I wish I could keep going but I have to think of why every deer has cut in their ears.

I now have to go look at it thanks alot Amanda. That is the coolest topic I have ever seen on here.

Not big animals but at least I filled all my freezers and even had to buy one. Jan. 2009 pig Sept. 2008 elk Oct. 2008 deer my 11 point
