I know a little. But let me start with this; if you have a grandson who is 18, how good of hiking shape are you guys in?

Congrats on a great accomplishment James! That's a good sized sow.

After you got my hopes up? I went out with a girl or two like you in my day . . .

Pics?

Ran 4x last week and then put in some miles in antelope country this weekend. It's a good thing those tags do t come often cause hiking those flats could let a guy forget about conditioning for a hunt. Stepped on the scale at 210 today, I am a little dehydrated from the weekend but not 7 lbs. so hopefully I can keep up the better habits I have been trying to establish.

Those bucks look cool on the wall with all of the vertical horn. With goats mass is a huge deal, then cutter length, then overall length. He's a good buck and I hope you get to chase him. After spending all weekend looking at lope for my upcoming muzzy hunt, I would have been happy to see him.

Why would anyone be hunting bears in superior? Rookie

Would love to take a look but I have a lope hunt keeping me occupied until the 11th

There was an accident just before Payson that closed the beeline. I remember that happening once when I was a kid and my dad was taking me camping. Took FOREVER to clear out.

Yeah looks like you gave him plenty to work with. Looks great.

Rossislider was that bull in Bear World near Rexburg, ID? There was a white cow (leucism) that had a bull calf my first semester of college there. I got to watch him grow for three years. That would make him about 7 now. He was a 6 point last I saw and should be quite the specimen by now.

I am using a Caldwell. Love it.

I hope sir royal kills that crazy looking buck!

Interesting idea but what about the guys who spend 20 yrs not getting drawn?

Congrats

Ok last week I did 4 runs for a total of ten miles, the last one finally felt good and had a decent pace (8:45). I was successful at reducing my pop in take again. I also found a morning breakfast routine that keeps me from getting hungry mid-morning. Weighed in at 216 but that was after downing a bunch of water for my run. Hoping for more progress this week.

Congrats!

Sweet buck. Congrats!

I got a few you old saps can borrow

Great buck!

Congrats pretty bear.

I liked the hypothetical # of rounds fired per year by a hunter in this thread. Personally I shoot more than 35 rounds in one trip to the range, albeit not from the same rifle, let alone a two year span, but hey for lots of guys I am sure he is correct. Seems like an interesting round, but I think my thoughts are still centered around the .264

Pretty color. Congrats!
