Thats about as good as it gets and darn impressive.

I would think that starting with an oiled patch would just add another layer of somethig to clean through to inevitably get to the carbon and powder. Not knocking your method, just trying to learn and understand your method to your madness. LOL

If you found one please post it up. Oops, should be Range Finder.

Well first I don't remeber hunting that area but is he seeing any sign, foot prints, droppings? How close is he to water?

Just wanted to say I was suprised to see a buck brought into camp in 36B that was still in velvet this time of year.

A bore brush will get the neck area cleaned just due to it being slightly oversized. A mop should also be used when you are done cleaning the bore to get out any leftover cleaner and oil. I run about 4 wet patches down first to remove loose carbon and powder, then a bore brush to remove the tough stuff.

Spadefoot?

Got a link?

Not hunting, just tagging along as an extra set of eyes and ears.

So after reading the Rattlesnake Bite thread and not wanting to hijack it. Can those of you who use the SPOT and the available services give me a rundown on it? I basically know what it is but not much else. I don't have a smart phone. Should I get one to work with the SPOT?

If I remember they paraded it around town and then found out it was illegal and it mysteriously disappeared.

NIce to see it's still pretty green out there. Thanks for posting, those pictures are nice and sharp. What camera did you use?

Last Jaguar I rember shot was by couple of fellers down Wilcox way, early 90's maybe?

I'm still waiting for the price of the Yeti's to drop, good thing I'm not holding my breath.

Send it back. They should be able to turn it around in a couple of week but do it ASAP. Call them ahead of time.

SHould be headed down on friday afternoon and will be camped not too far from the lake with a few others.

Headed out, probably friday afternoon to meet up with a friend to be an extra set of eyes for him and his daughter to try and get her first deer. Shouldn't be camped too far from the lake so stop in and say hey.

An alarm system for a few hundred or a $50 Club will save you a lot of grief. Hope you get it back.

My guess is you in your late teen or early twenties and something about yor vehicle or the way you presented yourself gave the officer the impression you weren't on the upnup and figured he had better than a 50/50 chance be could bust you for something. Legal smegal. Don't fret it unless you have something to hide. Don't speed and you won't get pulled over.

Don't quite know about that. You should report it because it is the right thing to do not because of what the outcome may or may not be. Especially when a young hunter is involved or how are they going to learn ethics? I went through this with a young hunter on his second deer hunt and he shot a young buck whose antlers had not broken through the hide when he thought he was shooting the spike next to it and jerked the shot. We field dressed the deer and being opening day took it into the Mesa Office. We explained the situation and they laid the deer out in the parking lot on a tarp. They took pictures to use during hunter safety to show what a buck's antlers look like just before they break the hide. They thanked us for reporting it, shook our hands and sent us down the road with the deer.

I hate to see roads shutdown. I also don't like hiking into an area and have the silence disrupted by someone in a loud vehicle driving where they have no business going. It's a double edged sword but not allowing game retrival with the aid of a vehicle in non Wilderness areas isn't right.

Great deer and antelope round. Too much for varmints and if you respect Elk it is way undergunned for them. Stick some 180 in the 30.06 and use that. A 22-250 will kill an Elk under the right conditions but you already have a 30.06 so I'd say look at a 22 caliber for varmints.

they'll be sorry when the coyotes eat the rest of the antelope! look into a wood cutting permit...... maybe able to get away with that??? congrats to you and your grandson! Sorry they have made it into a joke for you! James Won't work. You're either cutting wood or hunting and they aren't going to let that fly and I don't want to be the test case for a percieved loophole. Consequences (loss of game animal, confiscated vehicle, court costs etc) are too high.

Nice looking OBS. I will head down saturday (just to hang out) my hunt isn't until November. Good luck on your hunt where are you going to be?

When I was in Clints Well last month the guy at the Service Station said another road closure map will be out in December and another in the spring.
