This is a screaming deal. Best and strongest cap and ball ever made and the price keeps climbing every year since they have been dropped. I'm a gunsmith in flag and we do a .475 and 50 cal 5 shot conversion for these.

Well it's the first year in a long time I've got to sit out. Coming off 7 back to back bull tags I can't really complain. Mabey I'll try for the Otc hunts. Ones only 40 miles from me and another about 60. I'd love me a velvet bull or a chance to hunt in the rut with a gun. I'll pick up my goat loyalty point this year too putting me at I think 14. Still a decade away from a sure thing but I still feel like I'm over the hill towards my goat tag.

I have been talking with my brother in law and have tenitivly decided to try a Wyoming antelope hunt. Size is not a big objective but rather a good hunt that we can spend time with family and hopefully fill a few tags. We don't want to wait half a decade or more for trophy units. Having second doe/fawn tags would be a plus. Should we wait for left over tags? Are units that have leftovers still possible to tag out on pubic land? Should we consider purchasing land owner tags? What parts of the state/units sound like they would fit our bill? Thanks.

Send it to a tannery yourself and cut out the middle man.

I bought mine off a cw member that used it on a buff hunt. You have to go online and setup an account for each unit. Each one has a unique ID. If there is still an account tied to it you cannot set up a new one. Me and the member had to do a little back and forth with Garmin to get it wiped. Once you have an account, only you can activate or deactivate it.

It's called grammar, space cadet. Darwin works in mysterious ways, embrace it & ditch the INREACH. Do it for humanity. I'll sleep better at night knowing you don't carry a spot or inreach in the back country. When you have an accident miles from nowhere and you are laying in the freezing cold, just keep telling yourself how not having a little box that could have saved your life is survival of the fittest.

I took one to Africa last year. My wife's only stipulation for me going hunting. Worked well for texting. Placed it on the roof of the hut I was staying in and was able to have text conversations in a somewhat timely fashion, bluetoohthed through my phone.

March 21st is the earliest I've found a brown.

I bought a primos alpha dog and I have been nothing but happy with it. I got mine when they were on sale for about $150. Not on sale it is close to $300 and for that price I would consider a foxpro or one of the higher end e calls. Just make sure you get one that can carry the sound out there. Contrary to what some say I think a good e-call is better that mouth calls. Such a variety of choices. My success at calling has exploded since I started using one. Coyote pup distress, antelope fawn distress will bring in any coyote within ear shot. Pig distress on a hung up coyote will bring him in running.

Very cool. I've been told bobcat sets will catch greys but I have never cought one. For me it's always bobcat, skunks or rabbits. Never cought a badger either. Do you specifically target badger or is it incidental? I've been trapping some juniper prairie country and have found some holes about 8 inches around and assume they are badger. Was considering setting a trap at one just to see.

Yup. Cat. Segmented, blunt ends, lacking berries or seeds. Mostly meat diet make them start pretty green, oxidize to black and bleach out white fairly quickly. Top track is no question cat. Bottom tracks a little harder to tell. The heal pad is the easiest way to tell a cat track and it not very clear in the picture if it has two or three lobes but the track lacks nail marks in fairly deep mud which makes me think it's a cat. The track also appears wider than it is tall and also it looks like the second toe on both tracks is a little farther forward, kind of like our index finger, which would imply cat.

I am bad about taking pics and its kind of hard by myself, setting my phone in the rocks and setting a timer. But here are a couple more

Where are you located?

It seems like nearly all hunts are getting like this. You should have seen the 7 deer hunt with over 1000 tags. I was in there this morning setting traps and there were a ton of people out. Just keep at it, hunt harder than the rest and you'll get it done. Saw a big herd in Schultz at sunrise yesterday hitting water and saw a really nice bull out in the juniper flats this morning. They are there.

Where are you located?

Sunday evening I was able to harvest this buck. Defiantly not the biggest but I feel very fortunate to harvest any animal with a handgun. After fighting the wind all morning and passing on three other bucks that day because I didn't feel comfortable with the shot, I double lunged this buck at 95 yards off hand.

Heck ya. Love the single shot bolts. Is that an xp100 or savage striker?

I'm excited and kind of sick to see it. It's always bitter sweet to see bulls from a unit you have a later tag for.

What I learned was practice in you winter gear, i.e. jackets, gloves,beanie. I think its often over looked on the late hunts until you get there and realize technique or even ability to draw back is is very different when your all bundled up.

I've got the third peaks hunt in 7e. Goal is a 300 or better bull with a handgun.

Seriously, people make a much bigger deal of this than it is. The area to the north east of flagstaff ( doney park) hardly goes a year with a positive test for plague. I cant tell you how many times the CDC closed the play ground when I was in elementary school because of this, and in my entire life I can't remember of one person getting sick. It's not the middle ages, and if cought ,is treatable today.
