Heat

Amen

Yes, ram hits are happening as well. A friend drew either 40A or 46B.

duckhunter175, check your credit card balance statement. If you applied with a card, your account may show a temporary authorization for a certain amount that would indicate that you were indeed successful in the draw. Good Luck!

I've been checking out chainsaws recently. This is an excellent thread. Thanks for all the input guys.

3 deer tags for our family. I got a Kiabab archery tag and the two boys got the youth Kaibab antlerless hunt. Feeling blessed!

Congratulations!

Mighty fine offer there Don! Hope someone from around here is able to take advantage.

I've seen rut related behavior in December as well, I don't think some of them get the memo! Seriously though some ewe's will come into heat earlier or later than most, depending on weather, age, health and other factors. Nice pics! Love finding them caved up like that!

Crotalus cerberus or Arizona Black Rattlesnake would be my educated guess.

He's a dandy alright!

12x14 Davis Wall Tent with a 3 Dog Wood Stove is what I am running for cold weather camping. I love all the room that the tent gives me. Floorless allows me to take a sponge bath right next to my wood stove so I can stay warm when I'm wet. 3/4 of the Floor is covered in tarps, the other corner is where the wood stove is. Nothing beats having a fire in a stove in your tent when its cold and/or wet! Good sleeping bag is a must any way you slice it.

Very cool! Little ones are the best thing ever!

Sure, you're welcome to borrow some of my gear. Let me know.

Nice pics Dan, thanks for sharing!

Just noticed this. Congrats on your draw success! Hope to see a great story and some pics to go along with it after your hunt. Good Luck!

I'm a sucker for a bargain just like the next guy but just wanted you guys to be aware that the Springbar tent is the original design of this type of tent and they still make their stuff in the USA. Just saying...

Nice! Good Luck to all in the draw! Thanks for sharing that pic, that is an awesome ol bruiser!

Very cool John! That was the Original Grayling Green right there! Thanks for sharing about Esau! Nick

Never say never guys...every year at the Sheep Clinic they ask if anyone got drawn the first time putting in and pretty much every year at least one person raises their hand. You can't win if you don't play! Seriously though, that license is one of the coolest random things I've ever seen posted here!

Hey Ike, What is the spine deflection on these? .500? I may be interested! Thanks! Nick

I am pretty much a dedicated archer unless I draw a once in a lifetime tag. I will hunt with a rifle on a family hunt or use my shotgun for birds, but since I've started harvesting big game with my bow there is no turning back! I only apply for archery deer and elk hunts and also buy the OTC deer tag. I only apply for archery only Pronghorn hunts now since I've killed one with my gun. I will apply for the Spring Any Buffalo hunt which is General, but for fall my choices are the Archery hunts. This has an effect on the "Pie Chart" allocation that Game and Fish uses to divide tags amongst weapon types. It really hurts the bowhunters when folks apply for rifle hunts as their first choice, then end up hunting OTC and taking a deer with their bow because they get counted in the overall mix as a "rifle" hunter. I'm not sure if the Department even considers the second choice in this equation. I know at one time they did not, and I'm not sure it has ever changed.

Thanks for sharing here Darr!
