it seems like the guy that owns wild heritage taxidermy in that neck of the woods has one. look him up

i can send pics of my tires when i get home later. they are the standard take offs from a new dodge diesel with factory chrome wheels and hubcaps. i believe they are firestone? standard street tread. less than 100 miles. drove it from the dealership to the tire shop for new wheels/tires. tires and wheels need to go together

I have a brand new set of take offs from a 2016 ram 2500 with wheels. I think the tires are 285x70x18?

I've always sliced the heart into thin pieces and fried it up the night of the kill. With the heart being the core of the animal, it seems fitting and we have always done it. I have never left a heart in a gut pile either. I love the way they taste, but honestly, I would still eat it even if it tasted bad.

great job. congrats. love to see the DIY guys get it done on big animals

Montana missouri breaks bighorn tag. Biggest rockies in the world. 190" ram is just an average sheep there

Anybody that says energy doesn't matter is outside of their mind. Would you rather get hit with a 100mph baseball or a 100mph bowling ball? The whole shot placement is king does matter, but energy=trauma=death. Just for the internet police here, not saying I condone it but i could gut shoot any coues out there with my lapua and it dies....nearly instantly. Same shot with other calibers, not so much.....i watched a big bull elk literally get his lung sucked through his diaphragm and poke out near the hip due to hydraulic pressure this year. I'm thinking a lesser cartridge would not do the same

Brace yourself...hoghntr is coming.......... to put the kabosh on this thread

That's the red mountain lookout right? That would be south of rose peak

You were in the same neck of the woods as me this weekend. My family has a ranch not that far from the fritz place. Neat country. Love it there

Huh? Full velvet?

I just bought a new halon because my 2009 x-force gx had the string roll off the cams for the second time. I like the way my x-force shoots better than this new mathews, but it's growing on me. Not much difference though

i have a hard time believing a charging grizzly would know much difference when he was hit a full mag f 45 acp +p rounds or a big bore handgun. take the 1911, save some money and relax. there is a recent video floating around of a fishing guide that dumped a huge brown bear with his 9mm when it charged his client.

there is an asian market on dobson and elliot called LeeLee. they have aquariums full of live dungeness crabs and also have live blue crabs most times. i like dungeness the best and hard to beat the freshness of a live crab. they are usually about $7 a pound and the big ones weigh around 3lbs.

Why not use 3 peeps and try to stretch it to 200 yards? Adding a second d loop will throw your bow waaaaay out of tune. If you don't plan on using the old redneck dink and dunk double peep for hunting any ways, then why opposed to a slider for "target practice"?

They eat about the same as tree squirrels from what i've been told

27 is my stompin grounds. has been for a LOOONG time. PM me with any questions (other than honey holes) and I'll be glad to help you. the tackle shop doesn't have much at all as far as archery or hunting gear so make sure your bow is ready to go and have a backup if possible. Western Drug in springerville has a pretty good selection of hunting/archery supplies and could probably get you out of a pinch if you needed something. the tackle shop in Alpine is open year round and is a standard gas station for the most part. sells food, ice, beer, gas. the standards. there are a couple pretty good restaurants in Alpine to recharge your batteries when you need it. Alpine village is your best bet for showers and laundry. i have stayed there many times. nice place, good management. there is even a fish cleaning station there that works very well for cleaning up meat. Alpine has really good cell service, but it's an island for cell service more or less. the best place outside of alpine to make a phonecall is near Josh Ranch. with verizon you always have a couple bars right there. if you are interested in getting an animal hauled out, i would call some of the outfitters up there and ask if they offer a pack service. trophy outfitters, premium hunts, hunt hard outfitters, gastineau outfitters, pack n horns, trophy ridge outfitters all outfit out of Round Valley or Alpine and most if not all of them have a pack string or two.

The muzzle brake on that rifle is adjustable and can be open or closed. It's basically a sleeve over the end that when twisted one way, opens up the ports and the other way it closes them. So if you don't like the brake, just leave it closed

enough with the charade man. post some pics already

It's funny. they transplanted the Greer herd from Morenci because there were too many standing all over the roads. they drop them off in south fork and they walk up the canyon to the highway and stand in the road. funny animals for sure.

I'm glad i wasn't the one that had to say it. driving roads and taking hail marys until you finally connect is not exactly the right way to go about hunting. probably should have left the first part of the story out.

That is a really cool post. Thanks for sharing
