    Elk Results

    I have a screen shot software called Snagit which is similar to the snipping tool but this one comes with an editor that can add text and boxes and lots of other extras. Beyond that, any computer will capture the entire screen by pressing "Print Scrn" (or similar) at the top of the keyboard. This will copy it, now you just have to paste it. Don't want the whole screen, just a part of it? Paste it into an application (MS Word, Paint) and crop it, save it, use it. etc.

    Need Help (Hunting Clothes Layering)

    My January archery hunt in a foot of snow and single digit mornings used combinations of merino wool and underarmor base layers with coveralls. Coveralls are a late season game changer for me.

    Black River Fishing

    San Carlos daily fishing license is required, $10/day/person. http://www.sancarlosapache.com/Permits_Information.htm I haven't gone since the Wallow fire for fear of fishing not being what I grew up with. But, my group of guys started going again the last 2 years and they say there are still fish to be caught, just not near the average size there used to be. From what I understand, catch and release hasn't been practiced much from what they've seen which I would guess is slowing down the recovery. Regardless, it would still be an incredible and worthwhile experience, especially with your family. The only thing that used to effect the quality of fishing was the flows. The first weekend in May used to be the safest weekend but in years of light runoff, you could miss the spawn. Fishing was always good, just sometimes we knew we "missed it." I use small plastic crawfish/lizard/hellgrammite imitations and floating 2" rapalas on ultra light tackle and 4-6lb test. One side note worth mentioning: You aren't supposed to carry a sidearm on the reservation. However, I've had more close calls with bears there than can be described in text, I've literally thrown big black boars fish from my stringer and walked slowly backwards. I've heard a few horror stories about some 2 legged trouble as well but that is just hearsay. Best of luck, sending you a pm on locations.

    Corrupt SD Card

    Are you using microSD cards by chance? What did you use to view them in the field, the camera itself or another device? I switched to microSDs to view and save pics in the field on my old smart phone, and since, certain devices (older nikon digital camera for instance) won't recognize the files are even on the card. The computer would ultimately recognize them without any problem though, so hopefully it's just a file reading issue and the content it still there. I wouldn't try any reformatting until you've exhausted all other options! Here is a thread that may have some insight if you haven't seen it already. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/20748-recover-eraseddeleted-images/ That really stinks!!! Good luck!

    Wild Flowers!

    Ok! I added the info to my original post and I am glad you asked. I figured most people here wouldn't care, but I am glad you do I assume you mean you want common names and don't want me to get all nerdy and post latin names too.... Hey some of us are latin nerds too!! I don't know the common names for most forbs and grasses but maybe after following your posts I'll connect the two!!

    Monday Hits only thread.

    Heck yea, my brother just got hit for his first elk hunt with zero BP, late rifle bull. I don't know if it would be a blessing or curse if I drew the late archery hunt that leads right into it, but whatever happens is going to be fantastic.

    4 from the weekend....

    I always enjoy seeing you knock 'em down, I was hoping you had a bigger problem like a 9 pack by noon but this will surely suffice! Your posts in the past were part of my inspiration to start calling. Thanks! This is my first photo trying to be like you Nate! Shot this guy yesterday at 200 yards on a dead sprint, first time shooting at a running target and dang is it addicting.

    The time has come- I "got" a dog (pics added)

    lol great posts above ^ and if a hunting dog is something you decide, consider what type of hunting you prefer, and more importantly, are more suited to properly train for. Yes many breeds can do both but consider if you would ever get into the extremes i.e. cold weather water retrieving and/or hot desert/upland hunting. If your not going to hunt him/her get a rescue mutt! And post pictures whatever you decide, 99% of the time great dog owners have great dogs!

    The time has come- I "got" a dog (pics added)

    Agreed ^. This is just one's opinion from experience, but most rescue dogs seem to have less health problems too. Pure bred dogs seem to have cost some people I know more coin in the long run than a mutt. Young rescue dogs are out there. That said, even though he has a little bit of lameness after consecutive days of hard work, I own a lab and he is flat out amazing.

    Judging distance without a rangefinder

    I hit the 3D range and guess each target's distance before ranging and shooting it. I also stop and guess the distance on random objects anytime my rangefinder is available. I've have gotten good enough to always be within 10 yards, and usually 5, at least out to my comfortable shooting distance of 60. I also use 10 yard increments, similar to how you stated you use objects along the path to your target and add them up. That said, windicator and rangefinder are always ready and I use it every time I'm in a hunt situation. Not worth it to me to wound one when the technology is right in my pocket. Ideally, I range things before the shot presents itself.
