I got my email last night at 10 and my grandpa had his yesterday morning

I was a little frustrated when I had walked an hour and a half down a road one year that only a quad/dirt bike could make it down and when I was almost to the end of the road I looked back and seen two bikes coming. Which doesn't bother me because they had no idea I was there and I was still on the road. But they seen me, I seen them and they stopped so I continued the last quarter of a mile down the road to start glassing. I had expected the bikes to either turn around or glass from where they had stopped but that didn't happen. I get to the end of the road and got set up and probably 10 minutes into glassing I hear the bikes getting closer. They park and walk down the same trail I am set up on to glass. When they finally seen me they acted surprised that I was there even though they seen me walking down the road. Then asked how I got back there and where my gun was..........ummm I walked and its right here. Then wanted to know if I even had a tag. I probably wouldn't of been as frustrated if it wasn't for the ridiculous questions. Sorry if you guys are on here reading this, but it seems to go along with the glassing etiquette topic.

I'll either use a stool or my butt if I don't feel like carrying the stool. I'll carry a garbage bag if the ground is wet or frozen.

I've parked to block a road before but it ended in less than a quarter mile and you could see the end from where I parked. Am I in the wrong for that?

It's made it's way to Facebook. Not sure where they came up with the facts about the heart condition and then ask you to send game and fish any information you might have.

Elk- 1st choice: 27 early rifle bull (long shot but I can dream with 5 points) 2nd Choice: 5a Early Antelope- 1st choice: 5A rifle (14 points)

Last year the tip of my Gloomis crappie rod snapped off somehow while riding shotgun on the dash of the truck. It took about an inch and a half off and I was wondering if anyone knows the best way to repair it or if anyone that does this. I know they sell the kits to glue them back on, but I was wondering if there is something better out there that you guys are using.

How did the warranty go with gloomis with you guys that have used it. I looked on the website and it sounds like they wouldn't fix it. Cant seem to paste the paragraph about their warranties from their website but it looks like it asks for a receipt and has some other stipulations on there. Seems like a pretty strict warranty but I have always heard that Gloomis has a great warranty.

I found an elk shed in a juniper before but it definitely didn't fall off and land there. I think someone had found it before and maybe set it up there while taking a break. Didn't have a camera with me at the time tho.

I think if you made it to 30 yards then just keep doing what you're doing. Even when you make it in range, there are still so many things that have to go right to make the shot and make it count. Just keep putting on the stalks and eventually the stars will align and a buck will make that fatal move for you to capitalize on.

Sure do! Done quite a few elk with them now and I won't use anything else.

Depending on the class of bull you want it shouldn't take you 15 years to pull a bull tag that will give you the opportunity at a "wall worthy" bull. I have a 300" bull on my wall and you can find that in most elk units.

Yes! My dad was called to the house rock hunt for a cow/yearling bull hunt and took a young bull I believe in 2007. My brother was called in 2012 for an archery bear tag down south some where and a 5a/5b bull buffalo tag for only the bulls that left the ranch. I believe you get 3 calls in 48 hours to answer and accept the tag, but we will be a little more selective on the hunts if we get anymore calls. For the 2012 bear tag, he was told to wait for a call and if they have a problem they would call him down to shoot a bear that was bothering a residential area. never received a call.... the buffalo tag I believe was a 10 day hunt running up to Christmas eve If I remember right. Hunted hard for 7 out of the 10 days with 2 of those being a blizzard so we were unable to glass. We ended up glassing 3 bulls one day and after we finished packing our back packs to go after them we decided to give the ranger a call and make sure they were legal. It was the first day we got there and it seemed too easy. I guess we were actually glassing onto Raymond ranch and that was the only buffalo we seen the whole time. That was some expensive tag soup!

Where's this tag from? I bought my deer and bear tag already and they don't look like that.

Hadn't planned on hunting tomorrow because I have work to do but with all the talk of people that didn't get tags I feel like I should at least try the morning hunt. Maybe there won't be as much competition as usual?

I don't really know that I'm talking about when it comes to baiting and the rules that cover baiting but I've read most of the posts on this site about it. I thought they made this law because they decided baiting causes and spreads diseases because it gathers so many animals to one specific area. If that's true then where does the two weeks before season come into play? Do diseases only get spread at corn piles only during hunting season? Or was the law only created because of the success rate?

I was going to wait till the first and buy it at sportsmans but when I was there the other day sportsmans told me there was no gaurantee they would have the tags on the first. I was driving by the care free office today and figured I would stop for my tags and waited in line.

I don't see any links. Is it jus me?

Seen a buck that had to have a 30" spread with 3 does last night. Went back this morning and there was a small buck working 9 does all morning. Didn't see the big boy again.

What model are they?

How long have you had it?

I'm at 14 and still banking on luck right now. My brother drew with 9 two years ago though.
