Nice catch!

Watching a gobbler beat up your jake deke is a good time. I use an avian X.

Why not man up and call Jay personally, he left his number: 602-803-0223 Amazing 1st post BTW.

My Engel is just an ice chest. Won't know if it's a good one for about 10 years. Does hold ice well.

Congratulations on a great ram.

Not sure how I missed this thread. Wow, never seen a coues with a frame remotely close to that buck. Congrats to both of you. The excitement had to be off the charts the 1st time that buck materialized in the optics.

Beautiful buck. Love the mass, you did very well!

Now that you point it out (only you would see this), I think you may be correct......... I was looking a the urn with the dolls next to it. Thought it might be a cremation urn.

give respect to get respect. no one said he wasnt a good hunter. No question about it, Travis is a honest to goodness sheep guru & desert hunter. He did use poor judgement interacting with other posters on the now locked thread. He'll have to live with that.

I received a 125 Engel as a gift. Don't know what it cost but seems to be well made. Probably weighs 40# empty. Definitely a two man operation to move it when loaded.

I know nothing of this ram except what has been posted. Amazing sheep. Hopefully the pursuit and taking of this ram was done with great respect for an awesome animal. Any ram deserves the same. Many of you who bantered with Madglasser concerning the size of this ram (assuming it is the same ram) now want to extract your pound of flesh. I'd tell you to let it go.

Strange A trail cam placed there could yield interesting results.

This thread is enlightening. In a bad way.

Well done on a beautiful ram. If you so choose, we'd all like to hear the story on this great ram ..........

Saw a yote crossing SR 87 with a fox in his jaws about 10 years ago. Big fox, happy coyote.

Very cool photos (all of them). Not saying foxes can climb as good as a cat but not too far from it.

#1 Best tasting waterfowl type bird out there that I know of. #2 Challenge, these birds are not easy to fool. #3 Loud thump when they hit the ground.

I cut the breast cross grain about 1/4" thick. Salt & pepper then pan fry (hot) in butter. Surprisingly good if not over cooked. Hunted cranes 5 or 6 times. Never have limited out but usually get 1 or 2. Built 10 dozen silhouette dekes a few years ago. Birds will check them out but they do not pass muster at close range. I'd love to use full bodies but am unwilling to store large decoys all year for a 1-2 day hunt once a year.

A prepaid card can be compromised as easily as any other CC. Crooks are crafty.

Assuming G&F is now going to reject applicants who do not have a valid CC at the time of assessment, leaves me no choice but to do paper apps. I am unwilling to risk losing permits or BP's due to a wobble with a banking institution during the 1-2 day window that I have no control over. Doubt paper apps will be around much longer, I'll deal with that upcoming dilemma when appropriate.

Good on you, they will NEVER forget that day with you.

Congrats on your success. Got a few cranes in the freezer from last week. Curious, how did you cook your birds?

Beautiful ram. Congrats big time.

That little one was very cool, calm & collected. Good for her!
