21 ham --- no birdy

all lance forgot was the rv to haul all that stuff - lol

No - I've never drawn a tag on the occasions I've had the funds or the time to apply. I guess my post sounded a bit negative - I do have several close friends whom have drawn tags over the yrs . what I stated doesn't have to apply to everyone - I'm sure everyone should try to hunt as they like - great I hope all get a chance to see some buffalo and fill a tag . if your in the north Kiabab the fact is most every water hole has a blind - there is a limited number of these scattered across the hunting area - Most guides / hunters find this the most productive way to hunt these bison is to sit water - when they are off the national park - Here's where part of that work together comes into play as hunters jockey to be in the right spot at the right time , somebody will most likely be in one of those blinds. I volunteered to help and was told what to expect - sorry if I sounded negative to you and others I hope everyone has a great time and tags out

as far as the BACON goes - I guess I should not have said wrapped - I usually just cover the top of the exposed roast with 3 or 4 slices so it will not dry out you can always put the cooked bacon slices on someone else's plate or just toss- chances are you'll never even taste the BACON

my #1 go to roast cooking method use a big turkey sized oven pan buy the turkey size oven bake bags Sear the meat to a medium brown in whatever oil you prefer - I like sunflower seed - try to get all sides if possible -will splatter a lot ! wrap roast in a couple slices of bacon now here you can add whatever items you like to eat I prefer chopped - potatoes - onions-bell peppers-carrots - celery -mushrooms I then add a cup of water and a box of beef stock - not broth less salty place seared roast in bed of veggies - I sometimes add a seared pork loin cuz the venison shrinks and I add way too many veggies - feeds 6-8 or 2 people 3-4 times depending on how much veggies you add I switched to a steel /metal turkey roaster bottom pan as it usually weighs 10 + lbs and the aluminum pans could barley hold up I cook at 285 * for 3 hrs to get a medium rare type roast you can poke the carrots to see if need more cooking if carrots are done - its ready here agin you can season how you like or go with the green chilis and a can or 2 of dices tomatoes can of green enchilada sauce to make a burrito base a cup of water this can cook about the same maybe a little less time if you like a more medium rare add the hot stuff to taste

but your not saying where you'll be camped

TTT price reduced $300 and will donate $ 25 to CWT

that sucks big time - I've been in same situation and just went hunting - not my fault 2 guys bailed when I'd already had my vacation days planned and approved. bummer tell/ask him you need an extra day off Monday or Tuesday or next Friday to make up for your coming in when asked

great story - write up - nice Billy --- looks like you got to hunt the foothills - lol

I'm sure there are few of the guides and different outdoorsman groups whom might have a little pull with the BO rancher , since they've been involved with hunting or the ranch cleanups for many a yr. just like asking permission or helping out any rancher who has private land in the off season- it often opens gates that are closed normally for everyone else lots of the " who ya know" gets ya an advantage!! just like around my land - I have the local cattle ranchers # and call if I see a cow or calf in trouble - he's in the field a lot more than I can possibly be and he remembers stuff like that and when asked where the deer or elk are - he doesn't mind giving the latest sightings

I guess if you like sitting in a blind by a water hole - basically everyday you hunt - from pre dawn till dusk waiting for the possibility the herd will drift or run your way - have fun

heard of 2 to one family -- they also had a tag last yr but were unsuccessful so all you need is 2 bp loyalty and hunter ed to draw

I'd like to know if they are just reworking the damaged roads - etc or actually trying to solve the problem by actually building an all weather road - this is where most of the complaint / problems were first started I believe a good road which will benefit the rancher/leasee and the hunters - knowing access is actually improving , should be the priority of all parties . just blading / dozring old roads with the samo dirt accomplishes nothing come bad weather

stuffed up in a bag and wrapped in a canvas tarp isn't as desirable as it once was - lol been there done that - more than once - in all kinds of weather - never worse for wear either

well when you want him to carry some real heavy stuff - let me know i'll give him a try - lol need a different saddle though - and a ladder make for packing out those big bundles of meat a whole lot easier - plus all the gear needed on a pack hunt

Rhonda Rouesy knocked out by head kick in the second round by Holly Holms.

if I had the proper equipment on hand or in truck and could get to the tank - I'd do my best to at least remove it . just drag it of far enough so not to pollute the tank take pictures first to show exactly what you found .

that's why they have trailers - right - just got a new trailer - 5x9 approx. - easily loads up a quad and several big ice chests + a lot of camping stuff

there goes 1/3 of the room in the bed of your truck - lol super nice cooler though

plan your hunt during the opening of dove season - never fails that the snakes are out and about easy to find just glance at the bushes where your fallen dove landed.

I've been approached during a dec rifle hunt by archers whom tried to tell me I was hunting illegal and wanted me to leave the area even though I was just sitting glassing and they were the ones whom showed up after me - they didn't know there were rifle tags during an archery hunt -till I showed them my tag and told them that this was my rifle hunting area , that also had an archery season I told them to please go ahead if you want - I could use couple bird dogs to flush out the big bucks - if he runs please know I will most likely shoot, so you might want to get down as low as you can get I guess they learned a few things that day and decided to leave the area where lead might be flying. I've hunting almost every dec archery season even if I didn't have a rifle tag - never bothered me and have been nice enough to try to direct archers onto deer if they were non - shooters during some of my rifle hunts in my younger days I'd pack both rifle and bow - long before hunters starting carring all the extra weight like -- range finders and tripods and spotting scopes - 2 pairs of binos etc. hunter orange isn't included in my camo

maybe next yr we can try to get a few veterans CWT members to meet to eat - so to speak as sitting by oneself isn't always a lot of fun . even if its for a single meal or place Dennys always great but thought of ihop but red/white blue pancakes didn't seem all that appetizing to me - lol Sizzler - or chilis for lunch? famous daves or olive garden for dinner ?

THANK YOU -- AMANDA for your more than generous discount at CWT . You are always doing something special for the Veterans - I for one - greatly appreciate everything you do - even though I can't always get to go or benifite from these offers

how wide are they do they by chance state ew ? or xwide 2e etc.

so many to choice from - lol
