if your waiting and hoping KARMA is going to get even - good luck with that it's always been the same - some follow rules - others never will It's not right -it's not fair - it can tick you off till next yr but I can guarantee it'll happen agin I don't even bother anymore trying to inform others of the "RULES" -- complete waste of my time if they really wanted to close the roads-- then get a DOZER in there and CLOSE IT

It was suggested to me by a mechanic - that people whom buy the big diesel trucks and do not really tow with them - end up having engine problems more so than trucks that pull day in and day out. they are made to tow heavy loads- not just a drive around " I look Good " city truck

It's a sad day for all the families whom have to deal with this tragic shooting. My sincerest thoughts and prayers to all! Sad day for America also --- there is no good side to this -never will be. It will forever change us. - . when lighting strikes a tree - it falls and kills someone sleeping in a tent - Do you cut down the forests? It gives fools like Clinton and Gifford the opportunity to shout " GUN CONTROL" and bash the NRA etc for political gain no one will ever know the "WHY" this happened- it's shocking - horrifying - senseless etc. to point a finger and blame the weapons used isn't gonna help solve anything

well lets start using NAMES agin call'm out list the worst taxidermy jobs by the guys first and last name - they just change the title to their company and still continue to screw people over

while my son was growing up - he enjoyed going with me and being outdoors - making it fun can be hard but taking time to explore different things and not just a pack in - glass - pack out on scouting trips - them having their own time too - let them take the lead and decide whats happening that trip all my sons hunts were separate from mine we never put in together till he was older-college it was his tag - he decide 90% of everything - easy to help with all the hunting essentials - but the what time to get up - wanted to sleepin we slept in - wanted to hunt that hill - we went to that hill etc. it's his hunt I carried a pack with all gear needed - his choice to shoot or not to shoot - now its like He's grown and has his own life - finally back in Arizona so we are starting to put in for hunts together this time! talking and finding out what he really wants to do is 1/2 the battle - sure you want him to go hunting and enjoy it as much as you do - especially together - I hope it works out for you - if not right now then later don't spoil it now!

#1 rule - NO MAGGETS cost just doubled I hated getting racks to mount that had maggots on an unskinned head. your son does a great job !

hate when those" nosy " elk screw up the camera

test drove a 2017 dually 4x4 3500 today - not overly impressed- could feel a shimmy shake in the truck up thru the seats around 70 mph on or off the gas not as bad in a different lane wondering ifdually axle feels different out on the road not what I wanted to test drive -but that's what they brought out - even though i wanted the regular truck -- then they go show me several of the 3500 trucks non-tandem 4x4 but just to look at ???? larry miller dodge didn't impress me either it did look like with all the options I'm looking for priced right at 60,000

good condition - used with straight clamp asking $35 shipping extra Gary 602-993-2657

hope them spots are still secret -- lol -- great video

Nice buck! glad you enjoyed the hunt

I wouldn't worry to much about cattle - all my cameras on my property for the last 5 yrs have less than 25 pics of cattle at my salt licks and its all on open range ranch subdivision i'm talking 5 cameras taking 10,000 plus pics in a couple months - 9,500 of branchs grass - grass grows and wind can really blow hard- -- the wind will get you - a lot of cameras are way to sensitive-

#1 rule don't face sunrise or sunset unless u like glared out pics ^^^^^^ try to angle down if possible - pick a big enough tree that the wind doesn't move / shake camera face camera down or up a game trail straight across shots often get nothin unless you put something to stop the animal clear all branchs weeds grasses that may catch the wind that are within the range of the lenses picture - most people get 11000 pics of branchs or grass moving plain ole tasco - simmons cameras that take AA batterys take great pictures and they are cheaper to buy or lose

Yeo that's a shooter -- way to get it done

Congrats on a nice bull - good grillin ahead I drew it a few yrs back - 3 different times - once archery bull - twice any elk rifle tagged a big spike and a cow it was a fun hunt- lots of restrictions but easy to follow rules. Not sure about the Commander now but a lot of changes when they had a non- hunter friendly commander It can be a great hunt - great time but when they have field maneuvers it can shut down all hunting- if they have rifle qualifiactions can shut down 1/2 the buffer zone when that tornado tore thru the south side - it screwed everything up for a while too. since i'm only eligible for civilian tags and they cut back the numbers on those-and made changes on leftover applications- I quit taking a chance on 1 or 2 tags for my chances to hunt elk -- better odds on general archery or rifle if you have 6-10 points the depot can be a shoe in draw -- even if there are very limited tags

I've had similar hunts- single road trailhead- cars parked in our place.- what to do its - 1 mile in and then there's a lot of different canyons to hunt. we catch up to them just before it opens up. we chat and actually watcha few bucks go over the canyon ridge to the left. Since they were first- they wanted to go after them - we said no problem we'd try a canyon off to the right since we had a big buck we were after in that canyon anyway few hrs later we heard a boom -- boom -figured they'd scored - about 10 minutes later here a buck bounding up the side of our canyon from their direction - woulda been an easy shot but it was just a forky. the only deer we saw that day- thanks to the other guys going left. we were looking for a different buck we are now friends with these guys - since we will probably meet agin while hunting and exchange "some" information on what we've seen on other trips into the area! just enjoy your hunt- you were successful no harm no foul - congrats to your son- pics always are nice to see!

I call that the spot just above the lungs --- no mans zone - a big void good luck did you recover the arrow ? I hate that thought after a shot-- "TOO HIGH" it happens and it can haunt you - no fun

one can bet money and get good odds that it probably isn't the thieves first time - nor will it be the last EVERYONE knows it elk season in the northwoods especially for people who live in the towns nearby - they've been seeing trucks and trailer s jam packed with gear going by everyday for weeks! most home town thieves know every campsite around and its easy to just drive by -any ole time to get the layout and what trucks/vehicles should be there. It's not rocket science to steal the farther off the main drag the better /easier pickins - so to speak Sorry all the stuff was stolen- the idea of a camp sitter isn't such a bad idea - some use family or friends who just like to hang out . to bad a person couldn't get the money die stuff like in the movies have several basg with the die in it- they open - boom blue paint all over them

just checking to see if anyone knows of someone reloading 16 guage anywhere Gary 602-993-2657
