The blocks are dual purpose - handles to lift the lid with - something to get a hold of - and they slide tight over the edge when closed keeping it tight and helping to keep it square .

Yes my finger & sewed it up myself

I’ve sewn myself up a few times . Hurts like crazy, but don’t have to wait for hours at the dr & can get right back to work .

FINALLY- Me and two of my boys drew buck but not doe tags - 110 will be a fun hunts with the kids .

That’s awesome Jeff -! Here’s one my dad and uncle Lonnie just built for uncle bill that we buried him in yesterday -

Happy birthday Jeff - aren’t you suppose to be grading papers or something.

Most cows are just now calving - so calves are little - most people will ween there calves around late sept - oct ..... if your wanting about about 6 month old 500 lb calf ..... however down in the valley with warmer weather some people calve year round and so you could find one that is weened now - or you can find them that are last years calves .... not sure what your looking for or how long you want to feed it ..... but Craig’s list has lots of calves .... weve got 16 but they are a month old ....

Anyone have any raw frozen mnt lion or javelina skulls in the freezer you want to part with ? No head shots .... let me know what ya want for them thanks

Ide love some ideas to take some youth on either day trips or camp out over nighters .... even a family trip for example in the spring when it’s still cold up here in the wht mnts i like to take my scouts down by Roosevelt & camp & then sat morning go hike the tonto national monument & see the old Indian ruins / houses up in the cliffs . canyon de Chellley is another cool canyon to go see & hike down to the old dwellings at the bottom of that canyon ... anyway any good ideas ? For overnighter or day trips ?

Took two of my boys out Friday morning in the nasty wind and rain- was pretty chilly glassing at daylight - but we managed to find a group and me and the youngest were able to put two down and an hour latter drummed up another and not to be outdone by his little brother , my other son was able to get one as well . the crazy part was - it had been shot before - we didn’t know until skinning but The right bullet is my sons 243 - the left bullet appears to be a 22, ..... the “22” bullet just went through the skin and mushroomed against the shoulder blade - no telling how long it has been in the pig just under the skin - zero penetration - My sons bullet went through the pig from the opposite side stopped just under the skin before exciting - both bullets were touching and appeared to be one bullet when digging them out . But as we dug them out could see they were actually two bullets . His new and an old one .

It was grizzled over with scar tissue and the didn’t look very good - so we cut that part out - Yea all of ours had exited up to this point - I wonder if the old bullet - and the thicker scar tissue is what stopped it from exiting and it was and angled shot so went in about last rib and angled all the way though and went through shoulder blade on opposite side and stopped at the bullet .... Kev - no you can see the lead inner core all musheroom out at the base of true copper ... and there was old scar tissue grizzly stuff around it .

Pretty wild find - What kind of crazy footage do the cameras have on them?

I wasn’t saying it was a “black” rattler , I was just showing how big it was - hate them nasty things .

This one wasn’t very dark

Cabela’s used to take 72 hours to post from pending - & you couldn’t look up the pending without calling them . So you had to wait or call - NOW with the switch over to capital one- the pending is the first thing that comes up when you log in - & it’s posts to that file very fast after the charge . So you can see it really easy Now . Yes Cabela’s cards have been hit

Hey Jeff , i think you got your woods mixed up just teasing looks great as usual - have you ever tried these hinges for those big lids ? I loved them for cedar chest lids they hold really well and are a Little stiff so the lid won’t slam shut and they hold the lid open as well ....... they also make a really nice lock that I liked that went on the inside , is all you do is drill one 1/2” hole I think it was and that’s all that’s shown on the front of the cedar chest - kinda makes it nice to be locked up . But as usual great work . Hope all is well! Tommy

Anyone have any experience with the sxs’s sold by basspro / cabelas ?

Took advantage of that run off to water brake some colts .

That’s what my kids use and we havnt had a problem - shot placement is key not caliber - broadside double lung - and 243 does a fine job .

Very difficult to get a coyote in a live trap - I’ve seen one personally and it was a young coyote .....cats and foxes no problem- coyotes not so much .....a foot hold would do it if it’s legal - not sure of the in city and all that stuff - but I wouldn’t count on catching him in a live trap .... just from my experience. ive got half a dozen traps your welcome to borrow and give it a try if youde like - I’m in Taylor though.

I need a rag horn elk cape if any of you late hunters get a bull and don’t need the cape - have a guy that harvested his first ever elk - rag horn size - and his guide cut the cape in front of the legs instead of behind them - needless to say it’s a foot to short .... so need a replacement - Needs to have all the brisket / arm pit area / and front leg area - something that hasn’t been dragged out of the woods by a quad too thanks in advance !

Thanks for the offer Ed - I’m a taxidermist and looking for the cape for one of my clients. THanks though .
