Guy on a Buffalo- Just to break up the day.

Blew coffee on my monitor when singer said "was that a waterfall". The river crossing bout did me in. Thx for posting these links. -
Reality is, most eastern hunters must lease or buy land to have a place to hunt. For many, that is not an option so they join a hunt club or brave public land hunting eastern style My hat is off to the eastern hunter, they are committed outdoorsmen. Landowners, leases, hunt clubs etc. generally create habitats to keep game on their properties. Still hunting, drives, spot & stalk tend to move game off these respective properties. This is why easterners primarily sit rather than beat the bushes. Most are very careful about stand locations, scent control, etc. Many have it down to a fine art.

Hate to beat a dead horse but anyone else having trouble loading draw page

Crashing as we speak, trying to put a buddy in for javelina. Bet they have to extend the deadline....... again. -
Although I don't own one, very few people are willing to give up their Outdoorsmans pan heads. When they do come available on these forums (rare) they go for 80% of retail and are GONE quickly. Less expensive but beefy (heavy) heads are ok for around the truck but I find my pack getting fairly heavy with gear I consider essential. For a lightweight setup: Buy once, cry once.

Beautiful ram. Congrats to your dad and thanks for posting.

Cats being ranked is good for recruiting, that's about it. Like the Oregon poster noted, if you're ranked you become a target and get everybody's A game.
-
Much as I hate to admit it, Cats have a running game. Running the football IS football. Could be real interesting this November.

As a devil fan I am happy to get the win. The kids found a way to win in spite of the coaching staff. Game management and special teams????? Has not gotten better over the last couple seasons. It is embarrassing. Go devils!!!!

Hats off to the cats! Whipping Oregon at Autzen is no easy task.

BOOM!!!!

Prepare for a wet campout. Roads ... you should be ok. Lots of all weather roads in those areas. Use common sense on the others. Bring rain gear and rubber boots. Cool, wet weather usually touches off lots of bugling. Have fun.

Shot a lot without hearing protection when I was young. I am a tradesman, literally everything around a tradesman is noisy all the time. My hearing was OK through most of it although I wore protection intermittently. As I approach old age my hearing degrades annually. Tinnitus is present at all times (sometimes it literally roars). Protect yourselves or you'll pay the price later in life.

Doubt anybody on this site has EVER seen a set of these for anywhere close to this price. My post was merely to make my CWT brethren aware of a situation.

Set available on Craigslist in Chandler. Pricing is substantially below going price. Anybody "lose" as set?

2014 Arizona Super Raffle Hunter

Whopper bull! Congrats to all and thx for posting it up. -
Cardio 3-4 days per week, 40-50 minutes. Stair climbers, elliptical, and other variants. Some strength training. "Fork-ups" are my primary issue. I've had substantial issues with pain in my knees. When the pain gets severe, I take Naproxin till the pain subsides then cease the medication. Interestingly enough, I started a low carb diet and within 2 weeks the pain in my knees went away. I truly believe that excessive carbs inflames my joints. Whether or not it is a gluten issue, I don't know. Sure is nice to NOT have joint pain.

Archery elk season is just around the corner
Swivelhead replied to Pine Donkey's topic in Elk Hunting
I'm just glad to have a ticket to the dance. Look forward to 14 days of "play". We have prepared well and will work hard. When it's over, that's all that matters to me. -
Which caliber of tikka t3 lite for me?
Swivelhead replied to CSNeoM4A1's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
When it comes to cartridges that produce 15#'s or more recoil, most people will shoot a braked rifle better. A lightweight rifle like the T3 is going to have a little more push than most. I've got a 7 mag with a brake, recoil is nil (not a T3). -
Desert Bighorn Sheep Scoring and Field Judging-What does this Ram Score?
Swivelhead replied to Jay Scott's topic in Jay Scott Outdoors/Colburn and Scott Outfitters
Got close. Thought his horns were shorter than the actual measurement but thought he had more mass. Guessed him at 9 years old. How old is he? -
Looks like a good time. Really nice buck. BTW I've heard blacktails are top notch table fare, is it true?
-
This story is about as good as it gets. Congrats.
