Pine Donkey

I love that tree. It is a a real part of the season in that area. In high school a few times we climbed up there to party when the tree was lit...good times.

Last night the Oregon defensive line was awesome...unlike I have seen before. That was the biggest single difference. They beat Arizona in every aspect of the game and need to be recognized for it. As for Arizona, they lost to the team I believe will enter the playoffs as the number one. Arizona was never a National Champion caliber team this year, but their name was kicked around in those conversations this past week. This is also the situation ASU was in prior to the Oregon State game. About a year ago I posted a long post about the need for both teams to get past the rivalry and focus on becoming top tier teams on a national level. This year both teams took big steps in that direction. We will have to see if they are able to sustain their program growth. The ASU/UA game had meaning beyond the rivalry for the first time in many years and I for one hope it remains significant. As stated last year when neither team really mattered on a national level, "Arguing over which team is better is like two guys arguing of whose spike has bigger eye guards." I for one do not want to return to the years where the fans of both schools were bragging about their "spikes"!

It's a California thing... Must be. Never seen veagan hotdogs at a game before either.

Standing here waiting for the gates to open the Red and Blue is outnumbered by Green and Gold by about 50-1.

Just checked into my hotel room 4.1 miles from the stadium. A quick nap and it's off to the game. Go Cats!

Awesome story, great ram. You guys have earned a big dose of good karma!

Wow, you guys cleaned up this year!

Sorry to hear about your dog. Bump to the top.

Great buck! Thanks for posting the story and all the pics. Congratulations to all.

Yes, that appears to be protection for the float. Not only did the put pipe and wire protection in, they also went to the effort of mounting the float in the center of the tank. Any large animal, including cows can break a float, but I would guess that bears wallowing is their biggest problem.

Graham is a class act!

Hope everyone enjoys the day with friends and family!

.270 and .308 have put a lot of elk in our freezer. They are both loaded up and headed out again tomorrow for a unit 27 bull hunt in the hands of my wife and daughter.

Great buck, congratulations!
