    Input wanted - Hunting with a 10 year old

    I have to be careful because I have a bad habit of just leaving it under the seat of my truck after hunting or camping trips. I don’t drive into Mexico often but still makes me nervous I’d forget and take it through base security. LoL

    Waiting for the usual suspects to jump on the bareback chaps visual...LoL

    Input wanted - Hunting with a 10 year old

    Lots of good pointers here. My daughter did well sitting and shooting from a bipod, but I agree supporting the butt of the rifle is helpful. Lots of practice with the rifle, especially finding the target in the scope (practice aiming at specific rocks, trees, whatever...something besides a standard target and harder to see) 100% agree with making sure to keep it fun for him. Don’t make the tag the focus...the whole experience and exploring should be fun too. If you spend a lot of time glassing, consider having something for him to do even if it’s a phone or tablet. I don’t know any kids that enjoy glassing for very long. I usually keep a BB gun in the truck for my kids to plink around while I’m glassing if it’s safe.

    I took the surrendered tag in 35a

    My friend and his kid drew 35a this year with something like 5 pts combined. I’m getting close to that 11 pt mark and still no tag...

    Stanley what’s the best way to report these?

    Ammo collection for sale

    .556 is a rare round! I’ll beat your highest offer on that one.

    AGFD - Don’t forget the non-lead ammo

    Same here. My .270 shot Barnes better than anything else I’d tried.

    Backcountry coffee

    I’ve had the Bustelo keurigs which are good...haven’t tried the instant though. I’ll give those a try next week on quick scouting trip with my buddy. I usually use Aeropress too but it does get a little messy.

    Backcountry coffee

    Black Rifle Coffee makes an instant...similar to the Starbucks Via I think. I haven’t tried it but I’ve heard good stuff about it.
  10. Agree 100% and can spook them and call them back in multiple times. If you’re putting in for archery, the 36s are usually an easy draw and The season overlaps with OTC archery deer.

    Elk Rut

    Trying to help keep this one on track...have seen pics of a couple nice bulls tagged with mixed reports of rut activity and not sure the units. One video from unit 1 of a big bull coming in screaming...

    Time to cross UPS off the list

    LoL I had the local store owner get mad at me for bringing in a drop-off item for work, already packed and boxed and asked him to tape the box since I’d run out of packing tape at home. “That’s like taking your own sandwich in to Subway and asking for lettuce and cheese to put on it.” But then he didn’t want to sell me a roll of tape to tape it myself...just wanted to complain I guess.
  13. Either way...ask for help if you need it and don’t shoot a small bull. You’ve helped enough folks on here over the years...plus Kev will cry if you shoot a small one.

    West coast fires

    Noticed both of these this week. And the other morning the sun well up in the sky looked like a nice red sunrise.

    Outdoor Writer - Best Wishes with Medical

    Take care of yourself Tony...and agree with others I really enjoy your posts here and have learned so much from you. Ascites is no joke...and can be a sign of serious underlying condition as you’ve mentioned. Often the only solution is physically removing the fluid by draining and diuretics won’t touch it. Tough spot to be in with the risk, but I hope you’re at least getting it looked at.

    Rut Activity

    In my limited experience that’s the usual for 4B getting going a bit later...they’re probably bugling across the highway in the next unit though.

    2020 35B October Coues Hunt

    I’ve only hunted that unit once on a HAM hunt, but seemed to be lots of public land...saw a couple nice coues on that hunt too.

    Anyone wanna join me tomorrow?

    I’m a drug dealer and wasn’t even thinking that angle...maybe since that’s a given in every rural area anymore.
