Congrats, Sig. Thanks for the write-up.

I think there's still a framed picture of the arrow tree in the gas station in Alpine IIRC.

I saw a big stud harassing the bighorn sheep around wildcat point a couple years ago - get them all out of the forest.

Congrats on a beauty! Must have caught him in between wind gusts! Sounds like my roof is about to blow off today.

Missed the deadline for the first time in years. Congrats to those who drew!

We used to have some spots fairly close to home and the kids had an absolute blast. We'd take a canopy, chairs, set up some chairs and make an afternoon of it. That said we were shooting 25-06 & .556 when ammo was a lot cheaper. I have heard a lot of the towns got bubonic plague and were eradicated, but it's been many years since I checked on the towns. These were in unit 1, 3b & 3c + whatever is west of St. Johns.

I highly recommend this thermometer if you find your grill is reporting incorrect temps. https://store-us.meater.com/products/meater-plus It's how I found out my grill was so far off in the first place and saved my last two tri-tips.

Yeah same here on the Yoder. Nice but, no way can I justify that with the amount of meat smoking I do. I haven't contacted GMG yet. There are quite a few videos out there on calibrating them, so I'll go that route first. I appreciate all the replies here, guys. Good to hear such a variety of experiences.

Go with the Lasik! It's life changing.

Monsters! Let's hear some stories!

I'm just wondering what grill you guys are using and what works. I have a Green Mountain and ruined a couple great pieces of meat because it's gauges are so far off. I just turned it up to 200 with 2 oven thermometers they, and a Meater thermometer were both reading over 300 degrees. Camp Chef, Treager, Pit Boss? What's working for you guys?

The first time I saw that hunting with my boys, my imagination went wild. I was sure somewhere in the area we hunt was an exposed gold vein or at least some dirt with a lot of gold in it. Folks on here explained it, which was a little bitter-sweet. Thanks for posting!

I was just at lunch with a buddy and he got a text from a guy who had just gotten his card hit - this was less than an hour ago. Hold on to hope!

RIP to a national treasure.
