Relax, results will be out by mid April. Hunts don't start till August. Take a deep breath, exhale slowly............

I was hoping Lark would weigh in on this dilemma. LOL

What a buck. I'm going to go for the 130+ club and say 134-3/8", ton of mass on that frame.

Used a Cabelas CC to pay for dinner tonight (7:30 PM), the charge was subtracted from my available balance within 30 minutes. Thinking a G&F hit would be there if I had one.

While I do agree with you on this point, this is a WWOOOOHHHOOOOOO!!!!! thread. We can take up this issue elsewhere. Congrats to all who have drawn tags.

Junior hunt?

Anybody ever tell you:"you got a mean streak"? Suspect I got my 23rd lope point. Oh well.

Sent you a pm.

Personally, I think it is very cool that you are still attempting to recover this bull. Very nice bull BTW. I'd be sick too.

+1 I've wasted a lot of prime eating on follow up shots. If the 1st hit is good AND I know it, I'm very selective on follow up shots.

I like New Mexico's online draw. Don't have to divulge personal information to fellow applicants. Each can easily pay their own way when attaching to an application. NEVER had an issue with their system. Have not applied in Nevada.

Attended this seminar. I'm no expert but I'd say it was very well done. DCA did a good job as usual. Lot of good info and some very cool video.

The ten yard method works good. Another method I use on longer distances: Observe the total distance, pick a halfway point. Scrutinize the distance to the halfway point. Double the result.

IIRC, in past draws cards seem to get hit hard Tuesday, Wednesday then trail off Thursday & Friday. Me, I thought they'd start today. Have not checked mine at this point. Usually wait till the "non-BS'ers" on this site confirm it's happening then I begin checking in earnest.

Looks like it'd be cool at a frat house.

Congrats to the Cats. Hope they go all the way.

I agree. Woodcutters in 5BN have opened up a lot of formerly pristine areas. Sickening.

Radios offer a lot of convenience in areas without reliable cell service. Whether or not they are used to guide a hunter to game is that persons business. As a safety tool, IMO they are indispensable.

Assuming the charges have merit, I find it disturbing that having dominion over 600K acres is not enough.

Having had a couple cameras kindly removed by the overly ethical, I now go through great effort to make mine difficult to find. They can neither mark territory nor offend the delicate little flowers out wandering the woods (copy of regs in hand no doubt) if they're never seen to begin with. It is never ethical to mess with other peoples stuff. When I encounter cams I always try to make sure my picture is on the card.

Sea of Cortez has restrictions on spearfishing. Don't think you can do it on reefs & islands. IIRC, can only be done in open water.

Too bad some of you cannot calmly discuss an issue. Fact is, leaving stuff in the forest is a "claiming" behavior. Stand, blinds, cams............. Why is it when someone places, salt, stands, cams etc. on public lands (usually water) AND another hunter happens to be there, the meltdown starts. Hunting is recreation, I don't need an altercation which could bankrupt me (or worse). The whole thing stinks. "Claimers" will often not hunt a spot although their stuff is there. People who see the claimers junk won't either wanting to avoid confrontation. "Stuff" left on public land affects others hunt strategy. Legally it does not but reality is a different animal.

Spirited debate of issues relating to land use, hunting, etc. is good. It's what this site is all about. This is the Campfire right? I've got a lot of respect for many members here that I vehemently disagree with on certain issues. I believe they are good ethical people who just don't see things the way I do. It's OK. Unfortunately, there are posters who make uncivilized remarks about others i.e. personal attacks, sexual innuendo, etc. Fortunately, Amanda has given us the ability to put these posters on "ignore". Currently, I don't have an ignore list BUT that will likely change soon. There are a few posters here that I've just about given up on.

Thought about caching water in the desert. My concern was that if not done correctly it could be fatal.

I'd recommend contacting Phoenix Fishing, ask for Ted. He usually knows what's going on in San Diego.
