OK. You are correct sir, thank you. I see it now: Archery Only Non Permit Tag Javelina Jan 1 - 31 2016 25M, 26M, 38M Dec 9 - 31 2016 I do not see Dec 2015...I'll call Game and Fish and see if I can find clarification.

Really enjoyed reading! That's the way to get out there and put some miles on those boots. GREAT BUCK !!

wow. yikes...that is bad. it's not only bad it's awful.

Super awesome :-) Nice looking bear...love scouting, anything can happen

Nice looking bear!

My niece is a dog lover, and an absolute an expert at getting good dogs good homes - her company finds dogs homes. She got us our dog and he is great with kids, most well behaved dog I've ever met. As well as many other people. Please private message me your email address, I'll have her contact you, and hopefully we'll be able to figure something out. I've sent her this post and she thinks she can help but she has a few questions. They look like good dogs. Me being her uncle, I don't want to give her number out. She will contact you. Thanks!

Looks like a total blast!!! Thanks for sharing!!!! Very unbelievable pristine looking mountains, lake, creek!!! Definitely a good thing no tumble was taken down one of those ravines and glad to hear you are OK there on the black eye, yikes. What bullet is that by your paracord bracelet? Looks like a fun side excursion to one of the awesome Colorado breweries also.

Awesome!!!!

If Hillary or Sanders gets in or any of those liberals we can bet they will be going big time after ownership firearms much more than they already are, and they've already started their aggressive push with Obama at the helm. That guy Jay Parini posted some article and it was the most ridiculous uneducated idiotic anti gun ownership article I've seen in recent times...we need to start fighting against all this, even more than we already are, and we need to have started that battle yesterday...make sure folks you know are voting b/c every vote will count against another 4-8 years of this mess This is the crap that guy is writing: There is no safety in gun ownership. Only threat. So let's get rid of guns in this country, once and for all, making it a felony to possess a handgun or assault rifle. Over a period of years, illegal guns will gradually disappear. Guns don't kill people, as they say. People who acquire guns -- legally or illegally -- do. And we should make it extremely difficult for them to get their hands on these weapons.

Goose down jackets are great. Problem is - usually the material rips real easy when used for something rough like hunting, or if it gets wet you are in trouble there. Better for packing bc it is lightweight but can't handle making your way through thick brush. Filson Double Mackinaw Cruiser is nice. It will cost a penny. It may itch, mine doesn't itch bad. The Jac shirt is also kind of nice as a "jacket" but its not heavy. Keeps you warm when wet. For when it's icy and wind chill factor is high just throw on a scarf. Wool Packer Coat if it gets really freezing, but that's probably overkill.

Expected to work all weekend and not informed about it until 5:30pm on a Friday. Expected to respond to emails at all hours. Expected to join meetings with last minute invite during lunch hour. Expected to take calls on vacation. Expected to attend meetings where there are 20+ people and nothing efficient comes out of it. And simultaneously get work done, while being able to recite minutes of the meeting. It seems like anything goes anymore, it's crazy. LOL. The facts are: if there is no work / play balance, it is not a healthy company or environment.

Two summers ago I encountered one like every week! Haven't seen any in quite a while, and scared one up a week ago, man it scared the daylights out of me I'm suprised I didn't have an official heart attack on the spot. LOL

oneshot thanks I' m gonna try this too!

Singleshot, nice pics, good advice, awesome stuff, thanks!

And looks like that comes from: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/trichinae/docs/fact_sheet.htm

Hey Josh, since I'm cooking up my first bear too, here's some of the research I found. I think the general advice by the govt is to burn it, and you'll be safe. LOL. Easiest way for them to avoid any kind of liability and they can say "I told you so!" This is an interesting read: http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/wild-chef/2012/12/meat-week-how-smoke-black-bear-ham Particularly this part: from Double D wrote 2 years 10 months ago I appreciate your questions about trichinae, but stick to my 155 degree suggestion, which it what most information on smoking ham suggests. Here's some more information from the USDA sheet on trichinae: "Cooking - Commercial preparation of pork products by cooking requires that meat be heated to internal temperatures which have been shown to inactivate trichinae. For example, Trichinella spiralis is killed in 47 minutes at 52° C (125.6° F), in 6 minutes at 55° C (131° F), and in < 1 minute at 60° C (140° F). The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations for processed pork products reflects experimental data, and requires pork to be cooked for 2 hours at 52.2° C (126° F), for 15 minutes at 55.6° C (132° F), and for 1 minute at 60° C (140° F). The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that consumers of fresh pork cook the product to an internal temperature of 71° C or 160° F. Although this is considerably higher than temperatures at which trichinae are killed (about 55° C or 131° F), it allows for different methods of cooking which do not always result in even distribution of temperature throughout the meat."

I've got 36b end of November early December. Can't wait, been a few years since I been there. Let us know how your trip goes!

Rotated it right for you. Good luck hope you get it back in decent condition.

Man that really bites!

HAHA !!! LOVE IT!!! Way to go...it's been a good week

Hope you get it back. My jeep was stolen once in Tempe, left the alarm off for one hour, and look what happened. I ended up getting the jeep back two weeks later, with $1100 in damage and my deductible was $1000 so I paid most of it.

Meat is probably ok, but you can definitely always use the smell test like someone said or if it starts looking real funny :-) Ideally you want to keep the meat below 42-43 degrees, to age it, they say, but it never fails I've had meat out in 50-60 degree temps when get to it and still gotta do the gutting & skinning. In that condition as long as you gutted it ASAP, you'd probably know if the meat was spoiled. Sounds like you got it on ice as soon as you could, and it's ok for the meat to age in whole larger cuts vs smaller. Smaller & hamburger is where it will rot fast. Bigger, larger roasts tend to stay good for awhile and/or the rot starts from the outside in, I think. Will let someone who knows better chime in but you're probably good to go. Lonne

I bet that was a helluva recipe...wish we could get our hands on it Found this one but haven't tried it yet: http://themeateater.com/2014/recipe-black-bear-bacon/ Starting to look through the old Bear Hunter mags. :-) Lonne

I've heard bear bacon is excellent. Who has good recipes for bear bacon??? I'm only able to find this one recipe online which sure sounds pretty good. http://themeateater.com/2014/recipe-black-bear-bacon/ There used to be alot more but after the whole lion game reserve hunt made the news it seems the search engines maybe whittled down the search engine results? :-) Lonne

Wow, nice.
