Upper left

Decided to go with the euro and put on my wall of mids

*European fxxk. My cousin is in charge cattle operations there. The owner has been trying for a long time to eliminate people off of her land. If I were an a position of authority, I would suspend all state trust leases until some access was permitted. That goes for all ranches (big bo).

I have a question. What's an 8 or 10 power bino that is lesser expensive (500ish) that i can be abusive to? Translation no case, exposed to the elements, so I can use quickly.

Wow!

Congrats! Great job Andrew! I do not know if I could give up a sheep tag.

Biggest deer for the year. Same bet I had with my nephew last year. Putting AI to good use. grok_video_2025-11-17-16-06-13.mp4

The glamor shots. Post script. I almost forgot about the bet I had with my middle brother. He lost. Read the hat.

Back home and showered. Okay. My two brothers and I put in together for the first time In 15 or 20 years. As luck would have it we got our 5th choice and one of the least popular hunts there is. In August my middle brother doubled up with his son in archery in the unit, sacrificing his muzzy tag. Much cooler moment to double with your son. Fast forward to last Saturday. Sportsmans was having their bubble pop. Me needing nothing thought I would pick up a cheap back up muzzleloader to loan out to friends after I missed a couple of otc elk with it after loaning to a friend. My wife talked me into getting the 45 cal cva with the bergara barrel. We got 50%off on Saturday. Wednesday the ammo came in and I shot 6 or 7 rounds and sighted in. Thursday night I step foot in the unit for the first time In over a year. My youngest brother did not make it down the hill from showlow all the way and spent the night in globe. Instead of doing what I originally planned, 2.5 miles hike up with 1500' elevation gain with my nephew. We decided to go to a spot right off the highway where my middle brother saw some bucks in August. My nephew and I walk a few hundred yards to our vantage point and glass for a bit. We reposition 50 yards down the hill and I hand him my binos and tripod and tell him your my guide find me a buck. I am bored and walk around for five minutes or so. When I walk back I see antlers walking up towards us from below. I push him off the tripod find a couple of bucks and one looked big in the orange light of dawn. I throw my backpack on a rock and set up for a shot. Quartering to me, I settled in and place the crosshairs on his front shoulder and contemplate waiting for him to get closer for a nanosecond and squeeze the trigger. No visible reaction. The buck takes a few steps and disappears. My nephew on the glass says the big buck is going off to the right and I say are you sure he looked like he was walking left. Just then this runt pops out 100 yards below us . i text my middle brother to come to our spot. As we wait i see antlers below us and when he gets there 45 minutes later. I catch a bush moving aggressively. My nephew and I hike down there and find him. My other brother shows up and I now teach two of my nephews how the gutless method. Shot placement was two inches to the right of where I aimed The buck i will post some glamor shots shortly. My brother still has not sent them to me. Should I get it mounted? I have been back and forth on this.

Neighborhood bull is still with cows

Im in too!

You are obviously not married to a sarcastic woman that would say McDonald's or her least favorite restaurant. I envy you. Kev try Kingfisher

Didn't you just have an antelope tag?

This is show low not Heber. We have laws

My house in the middle of showlow is turning into Estes park. Our two local bulls are bugling every morning. Also have one really good buck.

My bad. I thought you wanted to double hook a blue gill

Barracuda. I also caught this that day.

I learned this from the guide when i was kayak fishing anchovies . Standard Carolina rig, a free untied hook, silicone slide through stopper and then the tied second. Adjust the slide/stopper to the length of the bait. Put the free hook through the nose/mouth and the tied hook behind the dorsal.

True story. Not a Will Ferrell skit. My youngest brother had an archery antelope tag. Myself, my other brother, my nephew and a good friend were on hill glassing for him. It was a very warm day and I had glassing Crack. My nephew found the sharpest pointiest stick he could find and 12 ringed me. My flight or fight response was triggered and I get up wanting to hurt the person that violated me with the stick fully cinched between my cheeks. Everyone is laughing hysterically I pull the stick from my cheeks look at it and see middle brother sitting there laughing. I poke the business end of the moist, now smelly stick at his mouth, feel no resistance and get it all the way to back of his throat. Holding the stick there like I was a Samurai that just vanquished the final boss. The other three are now on the ground laughing in tears while my brother finds a new level for his gag reflex and I rub the shock out of my violated area.

Someone post a late hit so I can keep hope.

Hopefully its just starting. I put in for 3 javelina hunts with 100% draw odds and I don't not have any hits yet.
