I may not agree with you, but I understand your position on the issue.

I mean no disrespect, but I remember reading the story about your brother way back when you first posted about it. I thought he was killed for a 6pk of beer. I might be wrong, it just kinda stuck with me. Either way sorry about your brother. I can't imagine having to deal with that.

I just saw a stat that the leading cause of death in males 25-65 was overdose from prescription pain killers. Beat out heart disease, auto deaths, and booze. I have never smoked weed, but I really don't think its the problem. Big pharma is the biggest problem.

I called the office in Williams and was told there were no closures yet. -
Taylor-Biggest Buck In The House
thegunsmith2506 replied to lancetkenyon's topic in Mule Deer Hunting
Awesome! -
Now that's funny. Sounds like you went out there and earned that deer with a little help from a friend. Awesome buck! Chevron will probably be pissed cause you didn't mention that 91 octane.

I wouldnt waste these. Great ammo! I shot a javalina with this ammo in 9mm, It worked great

I have A/T tires and have never needed chains. I do carry a shovel, tow straps, a come a long, and an old piece of carpet. The carpet is nice if you have to change a tire or do any repairs. It keeps you out of the snow and mud.

Last year was very cold and snowy in 8 and 7w. I am happy we are going to have another one! Elk don't mind this weather one bit and it keeps a lot of hunters in camp or at the bar in town.

Suggestions on finding a new camp in the dark
thegunsmith2506 replied to firstcoueswas80's topic in The Campfire
We use glow sticks. Pop the capsules then cut the top off and dump the liquid out at all the places you need to turn. Doesn't last forever and nothing you have to go clean up later. -
Yeah the time it was intentional and worked, was after a missed shot on a muzzy cow hunt. The only other time was on a bear hunt I was using calf distress and had a couple cows come in. On the early archery bull hunts I have called in plenty of cows while trying to get the bulls to come in, but that was just regular cow calls, not calf distress.

I did after someone shot and missed. The herd scattered and we were in the middle of them.

That has worked for me once out of about 20 times. When it did it was pretty crazy for a few minutes. They came to fight!

Shooting from one unit into another????
thegunsmith2506 replied to PowellSixO's topic in The Campfire
So By this definition, It would be illegal to to glass an animal in a different unit, watch it cross into the correct unit and shoot it? -
Shooting from one unit into another????
thegunsmith2506 replied to PowellSixO's topic in The Campfire
That doesn't say the hunter has to be in that unit. If the animal he is hunting/pursuing/shooting is in the correct unit, where does it state the hunter has to be? I have never done this, nor do I plan to, but I know it happens and I think it is still a gray area. -
Kodiak Flex Bow tent and Mr buddy heater question.
thegunsmith2506 replied to AZHUNTER05's topic in The Campfire
We used the little buddy heater on a late December hunt in an 8x12 tent. One night was -5 and we ran it all night with one window open about 6in. It stayed warm enough to sleep with your bag unzipped. I would also recommend an extra carbon monoxide detector. -

I think this is the one you were talking about. -

thegunsmith2506 replied to PowellSixO's topic in The Campfire
That would never hold up in court. There had to be more to the story. -
My buddy just got his CA back after sending it in for many issues. They sent him a new barreled action and its still a huge POS. I wouldn't ever buy a rifle from that company. It still wont't shoot 1 moa.

I know a few people that have done it for elk. Game warden told them they were fine as long as the animal was clearly in the unit the tag was good for. -
Beautiful bobcat rug (done by Mark plunket)
thegunsmith2506 replied to joelpresmyk8's topic in Classified Ads
Very cool. I shot one in 19a that was 21lbs. By far the biggest I have ever killed. I am still trying to decide on a rug or lifesize mount. -

That's a great looking rug. What did that cat weigh?
