Great job Flatlander!

That was worth watching just to see that look on the face of the Department's rep that made the recommendation, like he just took a bite of a turd sandwich, lol!

Let them have it Tom!

Silly question for anyone who might be watching the Commission Meeting...why are there now 3 organizations for deer in the State. PM is cool if you don't want to spill it here.

I firmly believe I drew rifle pronghorn and sheep in 2010 because #1 I had good luck and #2 you had to fill out a paper app that year and front the cash #3 the economy was still bad.

I have no real experience pulling a heavy trailer but dragging a few lighter loads and boats with my 1/2 ton tells me that even a small amount of heavy pulling should be done with a 3/4 ton. Good Luck, you are blessed to have a wife that shares your interest to get outdoors. Not a bad problem to have!

Word on the street is the Commission is considering a revised proposal that may only ban the cams in alternative management units for deer and elk from August through January or something very similar.

I remember an early June trip my cousin and I went on when I caught 13 albacore in one day. Kept my 10 and was done for the trip. I hooked and handed off only on day 2. It was epic! I caught fish on the troll, on bait, on iron, you name it!

Its hard for me to give an accurate estimate of score without a good head on shot but that being said that is a shooter on the first day in about 90% of the units for most guys in my opinion. Gross score mid to high 160s all day long, maybe more. Good Luck!

If you have any wisdom to share about visiting Glacier National Park please do. If it has anything to do with fishing in the area, that would be even better! My wife and I will be bringing our 4 year old and my Mom who will be 74 by then. We'll be staying in Hungry Horse during our visit in a house right on the Flathead River.

We are going a little before and during Labor Day weekend.

Big Lake is a gem! I need to get there more often.

I enjoy his show.

Good luck to all of you guys carrying a stik bow in the field this year!

Praise the Lord for the healing that has taken place and what is still to come. I am so happy that your little girl is doing well.

They won't have much on the boat, but they will probably give you some stuff with your rental rod. You won't need anything besides some sharp hooks if the bite is good. Don't really worry much about other tackle. I personally like ringed circle hooks. I think it lets the bait swim a bit more free and I think you get a little better hook set in the corner of the fishes mouth. You can bring your own food I suppose but the cook will be working to make tips so let them cook you a burger or two. They are usually pretty good. Bring some cash for tips for the crew, fish cleaning and jackpot if you are interested. 10% of the trip price for tip is decent, if you are a new guy you might want to tip more than that. Chances are they will be fixing lots of tangles for you. Filleting is going to run you 5-10 bucks a fish for the tunas, maybe more. Its been a few years since I've been. Have fun!

I hate you!

Unless the spine is way off like that I would go ahead and keep doing what you are doing. I also like a little extra out front. Good Luck!

I know this is about Leica and I don't mean to take this on a Pentax tangent but I ruined a pair and admitted to it and they sent me a new set for free! 10x50's cost about 5 hundo new. Glad you are getting taken care of Don. Good on Doug!

5. What did they do with the arrow gun?

Nice!

Wow! Nice work!

I love the NFL Draft despite what some of you guys say. It is cool to see these young people reach their goals and also a bit of fun to see it all play out watching where various players end up. I think the Cardinals had a pretty good draft overall. I was hoping to see some more talented players in a few different positions (CB, OT) but they did seem to take a crack at fixing a couple of the needs on offense (QB, WR). 3rd day picks often make you scratch your head, but those later round picks are basically splitting hairs from rounds 4-7. Some teams seem to find more diamonds in the rough through the draft. Steve Keim seems to hit on them once in a while but has drafted some real stinkers in the recent past as well. Last year 4th rounder comes to mind and about half of the picks from the year before. Then there was Jonathan Cooper, who was horrid, but a blessing in disguise that allowed us to get our hands on Chandler Jones. I truly hope for the best for all of these guys, but reality says a few of them will not be on the roster this time next year. The trade to get Rosen was a really good move! I hope he can help the franchise for many years. I have a feeling Sam Bradford will get the best of him come time for the regular season, but it should be fun to see what Rosen can do in the pre-season.

Christian Kirk is a great fit for the Cardinals! I wanted CB or OLine there especially with Connor Williams and Isaiah Oliver still available but not dissappointed with that pick.

Thank You Sweet Little Baby Jesus the Cardinals did not draft Mason Rudolph!!! I'm also thankful we didn't have to use this year's 2nd or a 1st next year to get Rosen. He was 4th on my list but not last so you gotta take the small victories! We can't miss these next two, especially after giving up our mid-round 3rd. O Line, CB, WR in that order. Maybe we can trade back into the 3rd so we can get all 3 of those needs in the top 100 picks. Talent starts dropping off fast after that.
