    San Carlos turkey tags

    Malay area has a ton of wintering birds from 1, 27 and WMAR, hence the "hundreds" of birds there in January/February. Most follow the snow line out of the area come March/April. It is a decent area but I've always found more hunting pressure than I want to deal with when I've gone there.

    Wildcats done.

    Did not see this game but did watch Wisconsin play Michigan State. Wisconsin is a resilient team. No shame in coming up short to team that I believe will have a shot at giving Kentucky it's 1st loss. Congrats to the Cats on another very good season.

    Knife for field dressing an elk

    They all work, I find myself sharpening my Havelon knifes as often as my other blades. Couple licks with a very small ceramic and it's back to shaving sharp with any of them. Personally, I believe the replacement blades dull quicker than most, they do however sharpen VERY quickly.

    Unit 9 antelope tag after 21 years

    Congrats on your tag. Drew my only lope tag in 93, still waiting for my next tag. It will happen soon enough.

    Still hope cc issues

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

    Women's Cartridge

    I was hoping Lark would weigh in on this dilemma. LOL
  7. What a buck. I'm going to go for the 130+ club and say 134-3/8", ton of mass on that frame.

    Card Hit

    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.

    Card Hit

    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?

    Card Hit

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

    ATTN shed hunters **reward**

    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.

    Follow up or Not?

    +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.

    Elk?

    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.

    Turkey Hunting Seminar by Colburn and Scott - Tues March 17

    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.
  16. 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.

    lets play guess when they start drawing.

    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.

    Bear Deterrent

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

    PAC -12 Champs

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

    Flagstaff Rant of the day.

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

    Can Someone Please Explain This To Me?

    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.

    Vaquero outfitters charged with chasing antelope

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

    Ethics

    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.

    Spearfishing in Rocky Point???

    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.
