You did well!! It was a tough year and you killed one of the top tier bulls.

Congrats on a well earned beautiful bull.

congrats on the bull!

I don't think it will be a real crazy rut during rifle and muzzy, but on a year with a great Sept rut it slows down immensely during muzzy and rifle. This year it won't slow down as much as normal it should just stay consistent longer. Also last year was a pretty bad drought and rut year and I'm seeing a bunch of calves that are only a couple weeks -month old. It seems like many of the cows in my neck of the woods didn't get bred until Oct or Nov last year.

Well that is much better than anybody else I’ve heard so good for you.

The bad thing is that the biggest bull in the unit might be a 370" this year. Which is a great bull but not what we hope when we hunt 23. I've always contended that this year would still produce some great bulls, I think overall Im wrong. Its bad out there from everyone I've talked to and the little I've been out.

congrats to your father!!

Congratulations to you and your son. Memories made right there!! So very cool Great looking antelope!

Well I was way off. I have no idea why the 67 isn't open or at least parts of it.. Too bad

I'm betting they open the 67 and west of 67 today, or at least parts of it. But we shall see.

Nice Barbary, looks like a good shot also. I need to get me one of those. One of these days.

12s are clear enough to see pretty much everything you need. If you are really trying to judge a buck at 700+ yards I think you should use a spotter, even the 14s won't catch everything. I think 12s are the best all around. I don't own 14s but my friends do and I can glass everything they can or more. lol

I have a mini at my well house to run a security cam. I will take it hunting this fall, So far I've been very happy with it. Easy to set up and use with decent speeds

That is cool. Yeah I would be interested in hearing more.

so what did you get?

My 1st heeler 20+ years ago

Lots to love about good heelers My Red and Blue

Most of the Mexican people and Mexican government dislike Trump quite a bit but I've never had a problem down there during his administration. I usually go hunting Deer and Turkey and sometimes fish and haven't had a problem. I went down 2 different times in January and other than the "taxes" on fishing equipment it hasn't been a problem. Just like most of Mexico it depends on who you get at the border or at customs.

Small mouth are doing pretty well in that lake. You can catch them from the shore and docks. I would absolutely take a few fishing poles and try it out. Throw in some bait for catfish and see what happens. The water will be pretty cold still and so I doubt you will have much competition from the skiers and surfers but who knows.

I found a good spot down between the white river and black river. I think I'll extend my season this year. Might be a good one about May and June.

Yeah and I'm just the opposite. I have elk all over my property and spend every Sept listening to bugles, chasing elk etc... I don't have a need to have a elk tag in my pocket to enjoy Sept in Elk country. I want to try and kill big bulls when I get another tag.

Yep has been going for a couple hours. Friends sent me screen shots at 7:45 this morning

I thought I remember it being changed at one point, but wasn't sure. Funny story and not meaning to hi jack the thread but I had a guy run a lion with me and the game warden wanted to be along. They wanted me to shoot it with a .22 mag he had in his pack. I told him It wasn't legal and shot it with my ultra carry .45 that I always had in my truck back then. I always wonder if I was getting set up or if they really didn't know I couldn't shoot it with a rimfire.
