Gut Pile

Awesome Buck! Great character!

I drew Oct Kiabab 12A West tag this and I was really excited to go. I asked for advice and help and so many of our forum members were great in helping as much as they could. Lance with TLO and many others pointed me in some directions to follow up on. Unfortunately I will not be making my hunt. I was injured at work and nearly lost my left leg to infection. After a couple of surgeries, great doctors, and answered prayers I will be keeping my leg. I could sit and stew about missing my long waited Kiabab hunt, but I feel blessed to be recovering well with the support of my family. My wife and I are expecting our first little one 1st week of December and fortunately I should be back up to par for baby's arrival. I just wanted to thank everyone for the advice wish everybody an amazing hunt. I'll be ot there Next Year!! Gut Pie

. Got my 1st turkey in 23 just off Valentine Ridge near the OW Ranch. Shot my turkey at 1st light then busted outy fly rod & landed an 18" rainbow in the catch & release of canyon creek 2 hrs later. Good luck. Saw lots of turkey sign by the creek so watch those those clearings to the left of the creek before dawn.

I got hit for Javi & thunderchicken. Put in for turkey in 27 where I've tagged out 5 yrs in a row.. But I just love that area, so beautiful! Turkey or no Turkey I love it up there!

Thanks for all the well wishes. Didn't make it up due being tied to machines for a month & a 1/2. Then into a rehabilitation center ( basically an old folks home where I heard se amazing stories from WWII & Vietn vets) a blessing in disguise. Now focusing in on my wife who's due in three weeks with our 1st little huntress. Name: Remington Adrian Lee. Thanks again everybody, that 200" buck will have time to grow a bit more, maybe a drop time;)

AES awesome buck Man! Got my fingers crossed for my hunt!

I'm stoked to have drawn a tag for Kiabab 12A West rifle tag 10/24-11/2 with father!!!! So excited. With work and & my 1st baby on the way I won't be able to make the drive and do some scouting. Took me 15yrs to draw this tag and want to make the most of it. Can anyone recommend a good scouting service with good packages? Thanks, Gut Pile

Just wanted to thank Lance. Great guy, great outfit. I look forward to using TLO in the future! Happy Hunting! Gut Pile

Gorgeous bear & with a bow! Congrats!

Well, some unexpected expenses with the baby coming came up and won't be able to afford a scouting service. I did want to give a big thanks and shout out to Lance at Timberland Outfitters. Good guy! Class act! Also wanted to thank everyone for your suggestions! I'll do my best to hunt as much of the season as I can, but wife & family first. But who knows maybe, there's a buck with my name on it:) Thanks again to all of you! Happy Hunting!!

. I will certainly PM You once o get my flatline map. And I really do appreciate the help my friend!

My thoughts exactly. That hunt is a guaranteed draw with 7 points and greater than 65% odds with 6 points. A wait of 15 years with no deer tag would give you more than max points for deer, and any tag you want in the state. Seems like he's excited to have a Kiabab tag. Looks like he's looking for advice, and not snarky comments....... Sorry Gut Pile, but I don't know of any scouting services personally. Maybe check with Duane Adams though. He could possibly help or maybe give you a referral. Good luck on yah hunt AND with the new baby! Thanks Stanley! I'm very excited about this hunt with my dad. I've drawn tags for Coues deer and killed a few but always Kiabab as 1st choice. Finally drew and now want to make the of it. Its 8 hour drive for to get but with my nearly 6 moths prego I won't be able to some scouting, so I'm searching advice or scouting service recommendations! Thanks again Stanley! Gut Pile S.

That's exactly what happened drew some Coues tags but always had Kiabab as 1st choice. Killed a few Coues but have never tagged a Muley. So I'm pretty excited.

Had 4 days to hunt and got it done on the last morning I had to to hunt. Great hunt spending time with my father! Just a spike but the very best meat I've ever eaten!!

Wes at Wes's Western Taxidermy did an amazing job on my velvet coues dink! I couldn't be happier! My wife loves it too! Wes does amazing work and he is a great guy! Thanks again Wes!

Olmos1010 you're right got the scope kiss to remind of this awesome hunt! Haha!:-D

Thanks 300ultramag! I was so excited! My 1st with stick N string. I agree,trophy to me & hard earned! Thanks again!P.S. 300ultrmag is what I hunt with! "Big Medicine":-)

I've raised and trained 2 Golden Retrievers and I miss them terribly ( One lost a battle with cancer the other old age). Well My Brother and I just put deposits down for Silver Labs. I'm so excited to start the training process again;) Gonna do it right, the only way to do it! Pure Bred, AKC papers, vaccines, geneology papers all done before I take posession! Stoked! Here's a pic. I believe I'll name him "Weatherby". I'm sure you all know where that name came from

I've notice alot of member have quotes or favorite sayings at the bottom of thier posts. How do I add one to mine? I really like them

Spent some much need alone time hunting quail & rabbits. So , therapeutic:)

My Father & I hunted unit 27..again:) I've been lucky to have hunted and been successful 5 years in a row. It was tough huntin due to the fire, but got it done. Kill or not always a great time with Dad in the outdoors. Also saw a massive Muley buck & a huge Coues buck near the Blue. A couple Spring Thunderchickens from past years.

I gotta rifle hunt in unit 8. I wanna see some archery bulls to get me pumped! Also congrats to all you who've tagged a stick N String Bull so far! Been seeing some tremendous pics! Way to go CWT Army!

One of my customers landed a few massive dinosaurs!! Take a load of this:
