  1. Chris Kyle, the deadliest sniper in USA military history and author of the Book Americsn Sniper, was killed by a Soldier at a firing range today. I just bought the audio book last week and have been listening to it while driving to and from work. First hand accounts of the brutality of war. He survived some crazy stuff in Iraq only to be killed by a guy who suffered from war induced mental issues. http://m.yourstephenvilletx.com/news/local/article_01e35c44-6dab-11e2-a2e9-0019bb2963f4.html

    Elk Draw Question

    If he is on your app then your app is subject to the NR 10% cap, so yes your odds are diminished. It would not matter if he is #1, 2, 3 or 4.

    Book Cliffs Utah

    Anyone ever drew this tag or helped out on a mule deer hunt there? This year they have split the unit into north and south. Just wondering if one area is better? Utah does not tell you how many tags will be allotted for each unit until after the draw, so I also trying to make a guess on which tag will be easier to draw. I was right on the edge of drawing a tag this year or next before the unit split. Thanks

    When they split the unit they said they are going to reduce tags on the north and add tags to the south.

    Population Management Hunts

    Did anyone see the story of the guy that got called for a rocky mountain sheep depredation tag and killed a FREAK? It was Utah I think. The left horn was 41" and the right one was 35-ish.

    I have a better chance of growing a third arm than drawing a Henry tag in my lifetime. Last year there were 3 NR tags for Henry Mountain. There were 3714 applicants.

    Last year 13 points got you in the bonus tag pool. I have 12 this year. Probably still on the outside but with the split you never know.

    Advise on calls?

    Just do a couple of "wuffs" with your mouth and they will often come back.

    Where can I find .22 lr ammunition?

    Sportmans sometimes has it in Friday mornings but it does not last long.
  13. you get your LP next year but as others have said, your 5 years of applying must be consecutive. If you miss a year, you start over.

    ASU beats Texas Tech

    I do. I actually prefer College basketball to most everything else except baseball. I follow football and used to be a huge fan. Not so much since they wussified it. Cant hit the QB, Defense cant touch the receiver, etc. Football was fun because it was barbaric. the game itself is fairly pedestrian. Now that the barbaberic has been turned into Barby and Ken, I prefer the strategy and actual game of basketball and baseball. Plus, I really don't need to see a player do a jungle dance everytime he makes a 5 yard run or catches a pass.

    I am surprised you did not pull up Jimmy Hoffa from that cesspool.

    Kodiak Canvas Tent

    You must vent it well or there will be much condensation on the inside of the tent. Learned that the hard way. Woke up to a rain storm INSIDE the tent once.
  18. I think its good. I can take the tag to work and copy and print out as many as I need. Season never ends.

    Baiting Javelina

    "I thought they made this law because they decided baiting causes and spreads diseases because it gathers so many animals to one specific area." "they decided" are the key words there. Ask them to show you scientific proof that drinking water from one of their 100's of trick tanks is safe and will not spread disease but eating grain off the ground is a disaster waiting to happen.

    Thoughts on the upcoming elk draw

    I just pay the $25 to hunterstrailhead.com and get all the draw odds for all western states. Worth it if you apply for out of state hunts. It also has the odds for the last 4 years so you can see which hunts are creeping.

    Baiting Javelina

    People have been baiting game since biblical times. So the "old school way" you speak of is a dream.
  22. that is why this is called the political forum. If we don't want to be bothered with this subject, we don't click the link. Just like if the libs don't like DD or the article in GQ, they can turn the channel to the BRAVO network and watch Real Housewives or buy a different magazine like the Daily Worker or Cosmo
