i have found that areas that traditionally hold mule deer seem to have deer in them consitently. however, i've found that muley's roam a bit as well. deer may be in canyon "a" today, and will disapear to ridge "b" tomorrow. just my experience.

cool!

bummer. makes ya sick to hear stuff like that.

nice!!

Seems like there was a big Ebola scare in the 90's too. I don't think too many people in the US died, if any . I would bet a pharmaceutical company is at the bottom of the wood pile.

pics or it didn't happen. lol.

i got a iphone i'll send a pm

herein lies the problem with the no baithing law. all i have to do to get you out of yuor spot and off my buck is pile corn/apples, etc under your stand and call fish and game. you show up, you get busted.

which mission bow is it?

there's money to be made in the cell tower industry. my best bud, who is my age, started a cell tower construction/ maintenance company 2 years ago, and just sold out to a larger company. me made bank, and still manages the company.

the sign at the gate says the area is closed. is it open to foot traffic? my dad got drawn for mule deer, and is not in that great of shape, i'm just looking for an area we can walk into w/out too much trouble.

They came in!!!

just a thought, a 300 ultra mag will kill a deer in south carolina at 75 yards as well as anything else. unless you're in a shotgun only area, i'd hang on to it....you never know when you'll get a hankerin' hunt in the west again. just throw a 3x9 on it and you're good to go.

cool thanks for the replies. i'll have to check it out.

game and fish be like..... poaching! you caught him with your hands. hand over your keys.

i learned never to use steel shot on doves. was blowing right through them, puff of feathers and everything and they kept flying. i did manage to put a few on the ground, but had to finish them off when i got to them. i wanted to make the switch from lead to steel for health reasons, but i can see that's not gonna work.

i recently had a brake put on my gun. my range finder failed me on my last elk hunt, i held high and let her fly. 6 shots later, the elk was still standing there and my ears rang for a month. (i was way off on my yardage guestimate, so i wasn't even close to hitting him) i have permanent loss, i'm afraid, from that incident. what'sworse, i went in there the next morning and shot said elk three times untill he wasn't moving any more. (this time, i was on the money, as i borrowed a range finder) so i took 9 shots w/out hearing protection. big mistake. will never do that again.

i bit on that one. wish i could afford a dozen pairs.

i just bought one last week. wished you would have posted it sooner.

right on the money.

i'm thinking about moving. payson is getting congested. what's cody like? economy? hunting? good place to raise a family?

sometimes you have to wait out the moon phase. if they're coming in at night, make sure you don't get your scent in there and stink it up. play the moon and play the wind, and it will happen.

Yea sorry but I don't think lapdogs and peeing on carpet apply here at all. As incredible and willing as those dogs are, it's good way to get one injured or killed. That's not what a dog is for, even a hunting dog. ever so politely, i couldn't disagree more, lol the lapdog application, is simply, these retrievers have purpose, and i love to see that in an animal. yorkies, on the other hand, pee on the carpet, and serve no real purpose, other than say companionship, which i guess is some sort of purpse to a degree. But to see a dog with heroic dedication like that warms my heart, and gives me courage. Last week i sat down with my kids and watched "Where the Red Fern Grows", the old one. I grew up in the city, but when i watched that movie as a kid, it changed my life, and i became a hunter. hope you never go on a lion or bear hunt with hounds, it can get pretty brutal. i have a dog, and while it doesn't hunt, it's singular purpose in life is to lay down it's life for my wife and kids, in the event of an intruder, so i have time to grab my shotgun. but, to each their own.

that's what a dog is for. i get so tired of seeing these yorkies and and lapdogs that serve no purpose, and get treated better than people. i mean, if i came over and peed on your carpet and pooped on your couch, how long would you let me stay?

i went to azosa's lecture in payson a couple months back and this was the topic of the lecture. absolutely fascinating evidence out there.
