Heat

Alright I am convinced to try some. Got some ordered for store pickup at Cabelas. If I like it I am going to try to score the big can somewhere.

We have a CVA Wolf, probably should have mentioned that. I can buy a Blackhorn plug for it. Thanks for sharing your opinion! If I can get a good deal on some I will probably try it. Figure if I can score the 5# jug I will be set for a while.

This was my last buck not my first. This one is actually a 2x3 but has a big fork frame. I have some old pics of that little buck somewhere but nothing handy to post. Posted it on AZOD back in day.

Started hunting back in the late 80s. Got my first deer in my 20s back in the early 2000s. Got a forkie. Been 10 years now since I killed a buck. That needs to change.

Hey if any of you DIY 12AW hunters want to coordinate during the hunt or at least have some contact info for someone else up there in case you get in a bind or whatever, I'm game. I will be up there with my wife, planning on getting there a day or two before the opener and staying the entire hunt if necessary. We aren't trophy hunting per se, just hoping for a good hunt with some meat in the freezer at the end and maybe a nice set of antlers to admire.

That is a real shame!

Congrats!

Had 10, so I consider this a victory for sure!

Did you catch a gallo today cabron?

12AW Late Hunt for my wife!

She Scored!

Usually takes about a week. I'm hoping for portal updates on Friday maybe.

Dude is REALLY bad at math.

Hit, Kaibab or 3A/C archery for me or possibly a Kaibab late hunt for my wife. Either way one of us got a great deer tag!

I'm very sorry to read this, RIP Tony

Nothing planned. Let me know if anyone needs to fill a spot.

Welcome home!

Trphyhntr is a lot of things, but thief or scammer he is not! Sorry about your troubles but accusing an innocent person is wrong. Not the same person. Corsican ram?, LOL!

Mine was a smaller cow but I used a 30-06. She dropped immediately. Keep in mind that a mature cow is half the size of a mature bull so you don't really need a big gigantic rifle. If you have a rifle that you use for bull elk that you are comfortable with, use it. No need to re-invent something. Also keep in mind that the vast majority of the bison killed on the Kaibab are probably killed at archery range very close to a salt or water. You don't need a ton of energy if you are staying close to your target. Avoid the major bone and make it count and any standard big game caliber will be fine. That 7 Mag is plenty.

Conditions sucked but managed to catch one fish...biggest trout of my life so far! Fished the walk in.

I'm sure the fishery is fine. 30 - 50 mph winds with blowing rain and sand more than half the day didn't help. Plus I suck.

Is it just me or does this fish look a bit like a cutthroat?

Nice haul!

Wore the Meindl boots out of the house to Lowes the other day. Those are a winner for sure. Also trying these Made in USA Rocky S2V military style boots. These should be great for most hunts. With the stitch down and glued sole at $120 I had to give them a shot. Just wide enough for my flippers without having to order the wide. Went with my normal athletic shoe size. So far, so good surprisingly!

No, I didn't "catch anything" with my bow.
