    Great post, I don't own a cuddeback, but please leave my moultrie cams alone!

     

    I'm no expert on the law, but I believe that if you find something worth more than $100 dollars and you want to keep it you are required to turn it in to the police departement (like lost and found) and wait for someone to be able to collect their lost property. There is a waiting period, and after that if it goes unclaimed they will return it to the finder?

     

    I might be wrong on this, but the way I understand it you can't take anyting that you find (even cash) worth more than a specific amount, no matter where its found, public land or not. If the owner can prove that the item is theirs, and you don't turn it in, then you can be prosecuted for stealing.

    Headache, were the sage bucks on the west side?

     

    I've had shot opportunities on 3 spikes, 2 forks within 35 yards and I just keep passing waiting for an older buck. I've only seen two 4 pointers, and a few 3 pointers but I just can't get a shot opportunity on them, something always goes wrong. Unfortunately, a guy made a bad shot on a buck in one of my favorite spots, so him and his buddy spent two days buggering up the area searching for blood and the buck. I would have done the same and it needed to be done, but it just sucks because they ran off the bachelor heard of nice bucks we were hunting.

     

    I'll be up for 5 more days trying this weekend, so I'm still optimistic.

    Incredible bull, congrats to the Mullins Team once again. I don't know how I'd be able to pass up a bull like that, nerves of steel is definitely right on the money. Thanks for sharing the pics so quickly with us Jim, and to your brother for helping the super raffle tag winner take such a deserving bull for the tag.

    Last time I checked, their best two guys who do most of the tuning are only working two days a week. I forgot their names, but both are excellent at tuning. Ask who is doing the work, and ask for their best tuner and it will shoot bullet holes when you get it back (unless you have wrist torque during release).

    Nice fish and great pics!

     

    We've gone out last year and this year a few times to Pleasant and loaded up on the stripers, its great. We've also done the overnight fish, with crappie lights and really killed the stripers and whites that way too. I was told they want you to keep all the stripers too, even the small ones since they are really going after the shad. Tony's definitely right about knowing how to read the fish finder.

     

    We used to do it every year at Powell as well, but now its more like every other year up that I find time to make it up there.

    I think the draw was needed in most of these units to reduce hunting pressure and increase the quality of the hunt. But I think they also need to further increase the heard for quality in these units now that there is a draw. Many of us archers have just rolled over saying it was the best thing, but the next step now needs to be made, and this was why I didn't approve of it in the first place. No proper future planning, just simple-minded management with short-term goals.

     

    I don't think it will affect the age class of the deer much, since once the buck population goes up, they will just issue more rifle tags. The buck:doe ratio is managed to be one of the lowest in the country, and it was approved to decrease it further.

     

    If you have to sacrifice your bonus points and draw opporunity at these tags, then they need to manage the whole unit differently, not just the archery season. This applies primarily to the units south of the CO river. It doesn't make much sense to manage quality archery units, that are not managed as such for rifle.

     

    I'd personally like to see the buck:doe ratio increase, and to see the rifle tags decrease in some of these units. I'd hate to think that we are only limiting archery hunters, so that just as many deer can be harvested but with a rifle, without increasing the heard.
