Cool, thx for posting.

+1, look for rubs from last year's rut.

4 times in the boiler room, once in the neck.. Who's fault is it then? Tell us about the projectiles recovered from the 4 hits in the "boiler room". Properly expanded? Pass through? Fragmented? 350 yards is where most .224"s lose it.

The land these horses inhabit used to be open to OHV's. Not any more. Me, I'd rather encounter native wildlife. Every mouthfull a hayburner eats could have fed a native species. Public land managers can readily manage most species, not so with feral burros & horses. Facebook cowboys now control the range. Every politician in this state has folded like an umbrella on this issue. Where is the Center for Biological Diversity now? I ONLY WISH WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT OHV WERE TRUE! Bulldog Canyon is OHV from any of the entrances .. you just have to get the gate codes each year, no big deal ... These horses are being made to be a much bigger deal by both sides... Horses on this continent may all be considered feral due to the way they were reintroduced to this land by the Spanish but after generations in the Wild and away from Human interference it is a bit arrogant to not consider them as wild... They are not going to come up to you while you hold a carrot out, and will trample the heck out of you if you walk to close to their young, and yes they will screw you up in some places while hunting, been in those shoes many times. However, they need managed properly and not just disposed of.... Feral = domestic gone wild. So you suppose we should let domestic now feral dogs, goats, sheep, swine, cats, etc. be managed like wild horses & burros are on Federal & State lands too? Bulldog canyon ..... that's pretty weak. S8shot, I'll let you have the last word on this one. I know you desperately need it.

I am astounded by the increase in feral livestock in areas I hunt. Bet the horses stay, government will succumb to emotion. With no natural predators, we're going to have a whole bunch more very soon. This is another no win situation for public land managers.

Wilderness = Good. Wilderness designation, not so much.

That'd work. As a kid (60's) I remember tales of monster grouper coming out of the sea of Cortez. My best is about 15#.

Cat was taken on a concession bordering a park = Legal. Problem is, this concession did not have quota for a lion = not legal. The PH involved (Theo Bronkhorst) is not well thought of by some. This American hunter will take the brunt of the outrage being whipped up in the media and it could be he was aware of the situation. If so, he should be prosecuted by Zim authorities. Likely, he was duped by his safari operator.

Apparently, for some, nicking a tree is an even bigger deal.

Amazing bull, video truly reveals what a giant he is. Any guesses as to what plant he's feeding on in the video? To me it looks like he's stripping berries off a bush. Sweet tooth?

Figured all the 6A/22 rocky tags would be gone in the BP round. Congrats Bohunr

Bears are so cool. Thx for posting.

Personally, I think a well trimmed bush is a sight to behold.

My brother made a 3.5 gallon haul over the weekend. Said it was the easiest pickings he'd ever encountered. I asked "where"? He laughed and said he'd take me there sometime.

See it is this ignorance that divides us ... Does not matter what you think ... it is against the law to cut or screw into live trees in OUR national forests ... IF you can justify the breaking of law no matter how small you are no different than then what you call thieves breaking the law ... funniest part is these so called thieves are not actually usually breaking the law when taking what the law defines as abandoned property ... I think it is wrong that any person takes what is not theirs but it is also as wrong for so many hunters to turn a cheek at actual laws and even funnier when they do not see their own hypocrisy ! You assume this is on USFS lands ........ are you sure? If you want to troll, go to the lake. So if someone doesnt agree with the masses on here must mean hes a troll right??? I don't speak for the masses. Just figured after his 3rd or 4th post on the issue he just wanted to argue. How bout you?

Did not see the mismatch in beam length (also did not see 65"). Field photos indicate good mass but I attributed it to velvet. Realization of the bulls incredible mass shows up in the photo of the fellow holding the antlers outside the building. Assuming the fellow holding the rack is a normal size man, his hands don't come remotely close to encircling the beams. WOW!

Must be quite a few mature rams in the unit if G&F is issuing that many permits.

The way I see it, a well to do hunter just bought US 5 or 6 new, modern water catchments. All this for a bull elk tag. We did good! I'd tell this gentleman thanks and come on back next year.

Great tag, congrats to your friend. Eric Hunt (ehunt on this site) is well versed on 44BN. Your buddy would do well to speak with him.

About a year ago I attended an informal informational public meeting at G&F headquarters about the tag surrender club issue. Other CWT members were there. Literally everybody in attendance renounced the membership concept as a prerequisite for tag surrender. Here we are a year later, they want this "club" concept bad. They truly are out of touch with their subjects. Tag surrender (with safeguards) is the right thing to do. Perverting the process by requiring membership to a special group further divides us. I'll write G&F some more but based on what they already know from past meetings, this club concept will fly no matter what we say. G&F is going to jam this club requirement up our throats.

Although I don't use pillow cases (yet), I'm a believer in using a lot of meat bags. Less volume per bag allows the contents to cool much faster, better air circulation, etc.

Probably good for excavating rodents at your local dogtown too.
