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.

With the exception of max point holders, everybody who draws a sheep tag is experiencing amazing luck. Pulling a rocky tag on the 1st go is truly exceptional. Your family & friends will have a blast.

Congrats to your brother. Does he already have a desert ram?

Thx

Is it my imagination or does it cost $25 to find out what the proposed language of the rule change will be?

LBT, very cool. Thx for posting.

I've got a .375 H&H just because. I say go for it.

The ranch I visited in the late 60's is gone. Clell must have had 60+ hounds on site when I was there. Always assumed it was part of the family ranch. I did not know the family.

Lee brothers upper ranch HQ?

Any additional photos of her? Nice pics BTW.

Been fairly quiet, I'd say Tuesday or Wednesday.

I have acquired some eyepieces and at some point think I'll try a spotter/big eye bino set up. Figured to set it up for my own IPD. I find it encouraging that some of you feel changing IPD then re-collimating is no big deal.

So you are saying you can easily change IPD without losing collimation? Do you need tools to change IPD?

We talkin' elk calves or deer fawns?

Nice video, boomer ram. Thx for posting.

Beautiful rams, thx for posting the photos.

Nice!

Thought I'd read that USFS ditched the 30' rule and opted for 100'. 30 feet is ridiculous, 100' is better but still a bunch of baloney.

My best day was 5 dogs on 4 stands. All with a shotgun, spent less than 4 hours in the field.
