My biggest concern was velvet antlers since I just dont want anyone messing with my velvet bucks. I called Clay Goldman one of the premier taxidermists and law abiding guys in Az and he received some info i would like to pass on... Quote---Ok, you can bring deer and elk in from out of state. The catch is, they have to be taken directly to a licensed taxidermist or meat processor. You can't process them yourself. Please spread this around to anyone you know that might be wondering. Just FYI I didnt verify it but I would trust. Clay with my life

Great looking bucks! awesome trip and great pictures. Those are the best experiences. !!

I'm hunting a giant buck in Utah or I would be up there looking around for you and a buddy of mine that also has the tag, but I'll be up the street a few hours, but good luck to you guys.

Good luck, hope you find a giant or two up there. The strip is a weird place for sure, but plenty of bucks to be seen.

Here are a couple video from trail cameras, 1. Cheap Cams 2. They got slobbered on pretty good 3. Most of the big bulls haven't shown up since the cattle moved in. Enjoy STC_0131.m4v STC_0132.m4v STC_0553.m4v STC_0552.m4v STC_0485.m4v STC_0552.m4v STC_0553.m4v STC_0132.m4v

If nothing else get your cape and antlers back ASAP. That is if they are not lost/stolen or ruined. If its not someone you know or trust 3 years is way too long.

Im guessing a normal price fully guided is what 13k-16k? You make 20k on the raffle deal. Im not decided on what I would do. I do know that I dont have $13-15k but I do have $100. I probably still wouldnt buy one but i would be tempted.

I havent seen either bull in person but when I heard about these pictures I knew the A3 bull would be the furthest away from the camera. One thing I do know is that pictures can be deceiving. Case in point my buddy and I both killed almost identical bears. We layed them out on his porch...i did not move either one but took 2 pictures 1 from each side. From their respective sides they both look like they dwarf the other one. I can not comment on the scores since I have no idea, just thought my pictures would show a huge difference due to perspective. I know quite a few people seem to hate A3 but they have a lot of great guides, and good people, sure they have some that may be lacking but what company doesn't????I'm not sure why all the drama.

Double post

The biggest difference between feral horses/burros and cattle is that horses and burros pull the grass up by the roots if left in a area too long. Cattle for sure can overgraze but rarely does it have lasting consequences. As said before there are good and bad in all walks of life and ranchers are no different. However since it is their livelihood overall they tend to maintain the areas quite well.

I need to work less and run more cameras. I only started taking pictures with my phone when photobucket started charging. Anyway my dad told me to "avoid even the appearance of evil" and since my intent was never to mislead I'll download and post the originals. I need a break is it fall yet.?

I shouldn't defend myself. I'll take the time to download originals...if there is one thing I hate is someone who feels the need to embellish. I hope I'm never that guy.

Yep...not sure I would either but I was responding mostly to the allegations they were made in China

They are expensive for sure and I may never own one but they are manufactured in Az. They are high quality and it is nice to see companies use local products. I try and support any local manufacturing and other companies if I,can.

Actually I didnt know the trick..its quite a bit easier to take a couple of pictures instead of emailing them from the computer.ill have to see how it works next time. Im an Instagram amaetuer though.

My first 3 sets of nittos (terra) on my tundra. I got 58k, 55 and 53k miles . after i tweaked my,frame pulling someone out of the mud that has drastically went down hill but ive been very happy with them...my daily commute has more dirt road than asphalt so they hold up well.

We like The House quiet a bit..Darby's is great. Im a fan of Los Corrales, Red Devil we like, Charlie clarks blackened Prime Rib is pretty dang good but maybe a little over rated....For a very good meal for a small group or better yet a couple I love the Pasta House. smaller portions and higher priced but very good flavor IMO.

I saw this at the manufacturer this week amd was very impressed if you want a cheap head. 😄 https://outdoorsmans.com/collections/tripod-accessories/products/outdoorsmans-fluid-head

It is happening everywhere and has been for quite some time. When I first started hunting Utah. (back in 2005 and 2006) there was 8-10k leftover archery tags. in less than 15 years that went from no left over tags (around 2011 or 2012) to drawing every year to drawing every 2 or 3 years if you are lucky. I too am surprised it has taking this long to get rid of all of the tags. I always wonder about the claim of less hunter recruitment but I haven't see in for sure.

First off I found that I really hated to pack a BTX and a chair. So it stayed close to the truck or SxS because I couldn't glass without a chair. Which was different for me also, I usually sit on the ground. I use a 701 head on a manfrotto tripod that works well but it is heavy for sure. But since I don't take it far from the vehicle it wasn't that big of a deal. I also do not own one, just have used ones from friends.

It is all relative but here is his exact quote. "Better turnout than I expected" he has been the main guy for many years up there. Maybe he just expected no one to show up. I know this wont be popular but I would rather pay a little more and not deal with all the people. It got tiresome to wait 30 min to shoot a target. Ive been going there from the beginning and stopped going when it took 4 or 5 hours to do 1 course. Sure it is fun and all but you could spend all day and shoot 20 or 30 arrows. I'm not saying I agree with the drastic price increase but something had to give. Supply and demand at work. I bet it was a quiet and awesome time up there.

Buddy said it was quite a bit busier than he expected.

and still wouldn't have been drawn most likely

That is awesome, the older I get the more important times like these really are. Great job on including your son in your love for the outdoors and it is awesome seeing them accomplish things on their own.
