Cabelas just called me this AM, 3/16/2014. They said I had suspicious charges in the middle of the night. Sure enough, was not me or my wife. He said it was to all of the same exact charges that all of the Target Theft cards are experiencing. So cards are canceled. It is a good thing G&F will attempt to contact me when they try to hit my card this year and it gets rejected. What really bugs me is how was I not notified by Target, CC companies, etc before today that I was part of the theft? Wouldn't they have known that?

This post I'm quoting is kind of a funny post. This is the old mindset of "credit cards are evil", which IS the case if they are not used correctly. The reasons I use them are as follows: A. If you have an average balance of between 10-30% on your card, your credit score goes up. If you don't have any cards or only have a very minimal balance, your credit score actually suffers. B. The more access to credit you have, the higher your credit score. C. Consumer best practices. If someone steals your card or makes false charges, credit cards have the best methods and laws to help the consumer refund those(debit cards, checks and obviously cash don't provide you with such easy ways) D. I earn between 1% and 2% on every purchase. Can I pay for everything in cash? YES. Do I have many times more in my checking and savings accounts than what my credit card possible max even is? YES. All you have to do is pay off your Credit Card every month and you never have fees, interest, etc. If you fully understand credit cards and use them wisely, it really ends up being thought of and affects you the same as cash transactions, except you are earning interest on your purchases.

Did anyone get a CC call from GandF today? I'm in the card canceled after the cutoff boat.

What happened? Sounds like some bitter tag soup?

I am looking for some help on how to stain my antlers. I killed the buck August archery on the AZ strip on a 100 degree day a few years ago. We obviously lost the velvet :/ My potential problem is, as you can see in the pictures, there are a bunch of darker blochy blood stain areas or something in the antler that I'm pretty sure would make the stain job look funny. Does anyone have any experience with this issue? Would you treat it like painting and do a white primer or something first, and then stain the antlers to get it all more uniform? What stains do you like best? Thanks

Velvet is basically skin/flesh. If you don't preserve it ASAP, especially when it is hot, it will "slip" or start to become detached from the antlers and start to rot basically. They hold blood. My brother and I were both just out of college and dirt poor and bootstrapped our hunt together out of his Jeep Cherokee and anyone who has hunted those hunts can fill in the blanks from there lol. Thanks for the replies, I really wish I would have been able to have the natural velvet, but I don't like how the artificial velvet looks. I will get in touch with you Critter, thanks, that sounds like the way to go. Here in Kingman we have mostly very light colored dirt, so I'll have to hunt down some richer ground somewhere.

When this question is asked, the answers are placed in several categories for me, I'm mainly an archery hunter though, fyi. A. The biggest bucks in the world come from_____(hard to draw, no over the counter hunts, far away, usually considered 13a and 13b) B. The highest deer populations and good bucks with the chance of seeing a whopper are found in _____(Pretty tough to draw, no over-the counter archery tags, usually far away, tons of fun because tons of deer, usually considered to be 12a, 12b, and the 3s) C. And then, to me, the rest of the state falls under units that have mature bucks to be found if you scout or spend good amounts of time in the unit, and these areas can be hunted over the counter archery some of the year. Draw odds are higher, success is lower, access is easy, or at least they are easy to get to. If you pick one of these "Class C" units and stick to it and learn the area, over a few years, it will quickly become your best mule deer unit because you know it so well, its can be a short drive to get there, and you compile so many stories and good times.

Dwight Schuh's Hunting Open Country Mule deer is pretty good. http://www.amazon.com/Hunting-Open-Country-Mule-Dwight-Schuh/dp/0912299231

Some crazy unique fronts on that buck!

Low 170s probably, can't really see his left side very well though.

Hawk dropping a rabit

Stand alone country, funded by $$$Millions of our money in affirmative action support that is...

So how did the hunt go?

"Best" mule deer unit is all dependent on your definition of best. Mine is "those units that produce the highest number of deer over 200'' ". So based on that, there really is not room for much debate, the 13s take the cake.

Those are some serious bucks, must be nice to have a free expert "guide";)

Yeah, we all exhausted this topic pretty thoroughly a few months back when it was being passed and clarified. I am shocked the offices don't know what their own policy is. Anyhow, the way the final version reads and with the explanations that we have received, I feel confident personally putting salt out as it is specifically and explicitly excluded from the subsection in question.

That must be some sort of dark colored sea salt block since other types of licks and "mineral" supplements are no longer allowed... Just trying to look out for you.

Immediately out the window goes any notion that western AZ didn't have good antler growth this year...

I have the 2009 or 2010 PSE Stinger, bought it used, it always gets the job done when I am aiming at the right spot I've put it to good hard use, out in the rain, snow, and sticks for three years, but I swear it still basically looks brand new. You don't need to drop $1,000 to be an excellent archery hunter.

Like most places, it is not what it once was. It has been the bottom, or one of the bottom, harvest rate units in the state for like 5 straight years. There are mature bucks hiding in the lower elevation desert hills though.

How can Duck Dynasty be blamed for this again, exactly? Lol

Maybe the one guy that couldn't find his trophy is very well know, and has cell service;)

TLO is Great with hunting, and also very good and consistent with camera angles

Not real massive, and not real wide from what I can tell, but those forks are the real deal. I'd put him 185.
