Hybrid?

[Hybrid?]

Hard to tell....they all look like mulies to me. That Hockey player is defiantly a hybrid though...they inherently have such few teeth.

[Big buck contest, scoring on a curve...]

It's a good idea. On my wife's side of the family we all have a $10 buy in for coues. Whoever tags the first buck gets the pot. Whiles it's not about size its still fun and pays for the trip. I am hoping this year I win it haha.

[Rainy Days Ahead - Does this change your plans?]

Unless there is a ton of standing water I would still hit your water hole. However, i would glass if there is some open country in the general area. I have always had more encounters with deer by glassing them and stalking them.

 

Water is just hit and miss when there is a lot of rain. Besides 1/2 the campers in the state set up shop in the unit this time of year. They can keep the animals moving.

[Acorns?]

I was curious about something. In my scouting adventures I have stumbled across quite a bit of acorns. They are green right now though. Some about an inch long. Do you think the bears would be eating these, or would they wait until they were totally grown?

 

Those are actually baby pine-cones....its a common mistake.

 

 

Jk bears and deer will be ALL over those when they begin to ripen.....especially deer

[Courtney shooting 500 meters]

awesome job! she's got a better group than most seasoned hunters 2x her age!

I motion that from now on a newbie with less than 5 posts must submit their current fat to muscle ratio, workout regiment, diet plan, blood type and any prior convictions before information is shared. Or before they receive Obamacare whichever comes first.

 

jk but on a serious note chronic laziness and mosquitoes are the same- they both suck.

[Come on Friday]

No "liking" your own posts

 

Jk I would like it too if I had bucks like those on my camera! Hopefully you can tag one!

[E-Scouting]

I agree with both sides of the argument to a point. Some people just get too worked up over it. No one is forcing anyone to give up info. If you're that worried about "you're secret spot" being discovered then don't hunt public land.

 

I am willing to bet that most individuals who are "just getting into hunting" really wouldn't expect that asking for info/help would be rude. If you don't want to share then don't, if you can- then welcome to the club. You're the only one who loses if your blood pressure goes up. (I mean that generally- not at anyone in particular)

 

Having said that, READ AZG&F FIRST it's step up to help first time hunters. A big shout out to all of you who have helped me!

[unit one wolf]

i think i found a dead wolf in unit one by greens peak not sure i thought it was a dog because there were two deae right next to eachother and the teeth look like dog but those k9s are throwing me off

 

One can only hope!

[new to bow hunting!]

Goodwill....you'd be surprised what you can find there. That's where I have got be majority of hunting clothes for my family especially the kids.

Great post. Welcome to the site, and thank you for your service.

[USO preparing for the hunt?]

Who would do something that messed up then tell another hunter or anyone else about it? Doesn't make sense.

 

Ever watched "Americas Dumbest Criminals?"

 

I don't know if this is true but I really hope not.....I wouldn't put it past them though

[To Biscuit or not to Biscuit? That is the question.]

Its just what you like. I like the biscuit don't have to worry about your arrow flopping around while on a stalk. Mine shoots great. This is about my average group at 90 yards. So I don't think it will affect arrow flight other than you will lose about 5 feet per second.

 

+1 it really dosent slow your arrow enough to make a DRAMATIC difference. Yes, there are some other rests that offer a little less resistance and a little more accuracy. Personally I don't shoot over 70 yards. At least not accurately so I have never had to worry about my biscuit. Plus they are 1/2 the price of others. Mine is a couple years old and I have shot many times through it. I will get a newer one next year...maybe

[Tree Stand or Ground Blind (for new hunter)]

Just put him in a ground blind and tell him if he leaves the bear will get him. Meanwhile you go hunt. Worked for my dad every time jk

 

I would suggest ground blind though for a first timer, or even just spot and stalking...depends on if your buddy had issues sitting still for 12 hours at a time.

[6b bear]

thats awesome! congrats

[Too early for a role call??]

My wife saw me sittin on the couch tonight and said "I'm surprised your not looking at a map or messing with your bow."

 

She was right, after a long day at work I had lost focus already. Complacency is for the weak so I unpacked and repacked my gear. Who knew that all the times she told me "you're obsessed with hunting" or I have "mixed up priorities"...she was really saying I love you.

 

Who said marriage is boring? Hahah. 9 more days!!!!

[ITS ALMOST TIME!!!!!]

Good luck to all I will be out on Friday as well with my little brother. Meet you at the lone pine Friday night?

 

Is that like the "blue oyster" bar from police academy? If so I'm gonna have to politely pass

[6A Bulls]

Oh boy here we go again . . . let me save us the time:

 

Group A: "Game & Fish is so greedy they have ruined every elk unit from 1-7, now they are working on 9&10. It won't be long and there won't be abull over 280 left in the state."

 

Group B: "G&F isn't greedy and they need all that $$$ to buy manage wildlife (and pay settlements with their employee-poachers) . . .We have the best G&F in the world. If you don't believe me go hunt ID."

 

Group A: "You are all nothing but a bunch of G&F groupies, you probably have posters of Larry Voyles on your bedroom walls. Your man crush with these guys makes me sick. You are clearly all too dumb to see how they are ripping us off . . ."

 

Group B: "You guys are a bunch of uneducated goons, what do you want our state to be just like Utah, with the so called sportsmen's groups auctioning off our tags. The G&F is smarter than we can ever hope to be, we have to trust them."

 

Group A: "Your dumb!"

 

Group B: "No your dumb"

 

Group A: "My dad can beat up your dad!"

 

Ok can we just bypass the whole G&F debate and see more pics of bulls now?

 

 

Well anything sounds dumb when you say it like that lol
