What an awesome opportunity. Great work guys if I didn't desperately need to get another day of antelope scouting I would be all over this.

Stay away fr the pines, get off the road and glass glass glass. If you do that you should be able to find some good bucks. The two biggest deer I saw all of last year were in 7. What I discovered is that where I saw the bucks in August is exactly where they were in late October. Good luck.

My BAD! Well at least no one mentioned Black Mountain.

You forgot near the range and oh yeah by the mine.

How many pts did you burn

You will do awesome.

Wow!

Yeah, why on Earth should G&F give a crap whether we start a bunch of rumors or speculate? It has zero impact on them.

Usually I get sick of seeing my elk/antelope results over and over while checking for deer results. But for some reason it hasn't bothered me this year. Maybe it has something to do with that line that says Draw Successful next to antelope. It never gets old.

How did my guess turn into the published deadline? Tools like the dang draw lady is going to make a liar out of me!

I am guessing 10:30 today.

How much?

Sorry man but all I see here is a guy expressing his opinion. He didn't make anything personal or say anything out of line. The OP said he felt he should get the tag when he comes back, BC777 disagreed and stated why, end of story. No one has any cause to be offended. Let's keep it positive here folks. Now props to the OP for his service and commitment. Good luck out there and for heavens sake stay safe.

Actually the rules as currently written allow deployed military to return their tags. This is why OP got his points back. Not refunding $ is unacceptablein my mind. Requiring payment for a good or service that will not be used the dept will not allow him to use once he returns the tag is unethical. Either let him return the tag and get his $ and pts back or tell him tough luck. BC777 the difference between his deployment and your relocation is that his deployment reflects great personal sacrifice for the benefit of our nation. These guys have enough to worry about when we ask them to leave their friends and family worrying about $ and pts shouldn't be added to the list. Just my .02

Yeah that bull is a brute.

Hey guys I scrambled the scope on the ML I got from Headache last year. Since I am new to ML hunting thought I would get some opinions on what people are using.

I paid over $400 for mine several years ago. I love that tent and it has served us well. Nothing like opening up all the doors and watching the rain coming down on a summer afternoon in the high country.

Happy Birthday to one of the nicest guys around! You do it the right way TJ.

Seriously. I have seen some awesome muley's just yards from the golf course. Great archery spot.

Well this weekend was another week of bench and map work. I was able to get out and shoot the muzzy at 200 yds this week. While at the range I learned the importance of checking and double checking equipment when dealing with a muzzleloader. After getting set up on the bench I got two pellets and a sabot down the tube, when I went for my priming tool I couldn't find it. I rmeembered using my spare at the range last time and must have left it in the pocket of my pants. Try as I might I could not get that 209 into the breech with my bare hands. Well crap, now what do I do? Down the line aways was another black powder shooter. I inquired of him if he had anythign that would work. I was amazed as he opened up a rolling toolbox of possibles and dug through it drawer by drawer. He didn't have a priming tool so I was relegated to using a pair of surgical tongs to insert and remove the primer before and after each shot. I was happy he was the re to save my bacon. My time was reduced due to the unexpected delays but i was happy with the results. I did a little more tweaking with the scope and feel like I now have it right where I want it to be. One more trip to the range ought to do the trick, but first a trip to the supply house for two new priming tool is in order.

Next week guys. How come nobody ever listens to me.

This is not what I took away fromy discussions with them a couple weeks ago. My understanding is that they are now free to hire their own contractor to do the work but are not performing the work in house. I could be wrong but I'm usually not Regardless it does appear to be operating smoother now than in the past. I am still guessing Tuesday. Sounds like someone needs to set up a contest.

Game and fish is not doing the draw in house yet.

No

Coach, I think these guys were referring to deer tags. From the sounds of it you drew a late rifle bull elk tag. Don't feel too bad, that's still going to be a fun hunt, especially with your boys along.
