the 10% cap will have more to do with elk tags than anything. the extra green just makes them horns bigger. plus, it's easy on the eyes. Lark.

no aliens. mt. lions. coues deer are the ideal lion food. about the right size for them to eat before they get too ripe. not too big and fairly easy to bring down. and they live in ideal lion country. they probly kill more bucks than does. bucks will try to fight em instead of running. first place they'll bite one is usually in the neck. after they're done eatin' on one then the coyotes and foxes and birds take over. sometimes a bear will finish em off. between all the different carrion eaters the bones get munched up and scattered pretty well, even the skull, a lotta times. sometimes a coyote will pack whatever it can back to it's den for pups to gnaw on. no telling for sure why you didn't find the whole skull, othere that it got chewed up by one or all of the above. then porkypines will eat up the antlers if they find em. nature is an unending cycle. Lark.

a friend o' mine was tryin' to get on a plane in SLC. kept settin' off the metal detector. he kept tellin' em he had a rod in his femure in his leg but they dint believe him. so he pulled down his pants and showed em the scar. and he dint have no underwear on. he was tryin' to pull his pants down and the metal detector guy was tryin' to pull em up. it was real funny. this was nearly 30 years ago, or he'da probly went to prison. Lark.

'06?!?!!? you stinkin' homer. don't be associatin' me with no junk. Lark.

take that georgy girl and his toady griz. are they gonna go back to 10% for bighorn too? they bumped it up to 15% guranteed this year. Lark.

best be ready to duck. it's a known fact that a 7mm/08 will bounce offa javelina. a bear'll just go, "dang flies". Lark.

it sticks out like a sore thumb. it's right inside that little orange square. Lark.

a few years ago i stopped with a friend at a gun shop in the showlow area. he had a lever action browning .22/.250 he was thinking of trading. real nice rifle. they offered him $125 for it. like new. leupold scope. the fat slug behind the counter had some gun trade-in book he was getting the price from. anyway, we left, after tellin' the guy a true story about what he really was. next day he sold it for $400 and i think the guy that bought it got a good deal. best thing is to decide what you want for the gun and sell it. or be like me and never get rid o' one. there ain't no such thing as a bad gun. anyways, unless it's a 7mm/08. Lark.

$4!!!!!!! dang. you're right. best hunt real close. another reason to ride a hayburner too. Lark.

i must really be old or have just spent a lotta time in the woods. could be both i guess. plus i've always run with a real ignernt bunch o' fellers. i've either had every one of these things happen to me or have witnessed them happen to someone else firsthand. from shirts, coats and coveralls gettin' crapped on, bees and yeller jackets in the mouth, fallin' down, barfin', missin', crashin', etc., etc. i've been in on some stuff that was funny as heck but too stupid or gross to even list on here. i mean i gotta reputation, but dang, i don't want nobody to know all the truth. just the real good stuff. this is good stuff. makes me realize i ain't the only goofy sucker in the woods. Lark.

i went to "starved rock" state park out in ill-noise, oncet. Lark.

hey casey, that sorta splains why you look a lot like ned "squeel like a pig" beatty. my gramma is from Hazzard, Kentucky. i know all about hillbillys and am proud to be one. Lark.

i saw it on south park. Lark.

i didn't have room, i mean the "aliens" didn't have room for all the letters. guess them little green suckers are gettin' more hip all the time. Lark.

kgaines, i dint mean illegal aliens. i mean roswell kinda aliens. the ones with the probes. Lark.

it just mysteriously showed up in my pasture this weekend. i think it's one o' them alien crop circle deals. Lark.

hey casey, what's a dad grandpa uncle? is your family good at banjo playin'? couldn't help myself there. commas, dude, commas. Lark.

ok bass, it's on the way. Lark.

ok, we all know that i know everything, so i'm gonna give you some advice on crosshair levelling. get it where you think it's fairly close. make sure the eye relief is right. without looking through the scope, while standing up, put the rifle to your shoulder and close your eyes. wiggle the rifle around until it feels right. don't look through the scope. keep your eyes closed. get it nestled in your shoulder where it feels good, get your cheek where it needs to be, etc. then open your eye and note how the crosshairs look. try this several times and then adjust the hairs until they look dead level. lining up the vertical hair on the corner of your neighbors house or some other structure that you know should be real plumb, will help you too. this works real well in getting the crosshairs to where they work for you and they will end up lined up well with the center vertical plane of the rifle. Lark.

once i barfed on a gutshot javelina i was tryin' to field dress and started a barforama o' all the guys with me. once my uncle barfed on my deer while bein' all macho and showin' me how to field dress a buck. both times involved scrambled eggs. Lark.

anybody know how to post photos? i have the ultimate anti-uso deal so far. Lark.

check out this. norma "locked gate" tapia is now passin' off funny munny. she's gonna have a hard time lockin' her gate from the joint. Lark. http://www.eacourier.com/articles/2005/08/...news/news01.txt

only friend she has is one other wierdo woman that lives with her. he own family don't even like her. if she ain't there, i don't see the gate staying up too long. everyone that lives in the canyon is sick of this whole deal, along with all the folks that wanna visit it. hopefully this whole deal will sorta just go away now. counterfitting is serious stuff. i don't see her as being smart enough to pull off even crummy counterfitting, so i'm sure there is someone else involved. she'll go to singin' like a bird to save her own hide. hope that doesn't get her off with just probation. she's already fighting some pretty serious charges for pointing guns at folks. yeah, she sounds like a real hero. fightin' for justice for perverts and passin' off funny munny. the pride o' the canyon.

so is it open today? i might hafta take a little detour on the way home. i need some carbine ammo. has it got all them same plastic antlered mounts as the other one? oh well, at least they have good prices on stuff. wonder how they're gonna do after cabelas and bass pro open up? Lark.

i have some misgivings about javelina, for sure. if i lived in the northeast or some other colder than a welldiggers nose place i'd dang sure see about chasin' pigalinas in feb or march. 50 or 60 has gotta be better than -20 and snowin'. sure be a nice break to come out here for a week and get outta that crap. as far as the deer tags, i'm thinking that we need the cap on all of em. my brother and his boy didn't even get a deer tag this year. and they applied for a hunt that is normally about 85% draw for first and 2nd choice. it's a rough deal all around. too bad we have such good hunting in a couple places. makes everyone who reads magazines think there are 40" bucks and 400 bulls under every bush. and they don't understand why there is such a limited number of tags. Lark.
