Coues 'n' Sheep

I'm speechless!! That is Sa-Weet! Congrats that gal and to her boyfriend..... not only does she go shed huntin' with him but she finds stuff, too!!! Like to see more pics of that horn!!! CnS

Got an invite last night to go to Texas on a free turkey hunt in a week. I'm not prepared and I'm not much of a Turkey hunter, so your advice will be appreciated. I have a brand new 12 ga. that I bought a few years back at the Flag DU banquet, and I have Never shot it. Kinda had a lot of "spirits" that night so I don't even know anything about the gun... ....other than it is chambered in 3", it is ported on top of the barrel, and it has an "accu choke"... Just pulled it out of the closet for the first time today...... So..... What are you guys shootin' at the Gobblers??? Thanks, CnS

Since my mom got a new car I inherited her old truck which was the plan but we didn't think this would happen until this December so this is my new ride. I still want the scout though Guess your gunna have to buy a Wheeler to slide in the back of that truck so that you don't have to scratch that nice paint job up.... Nice ride, BTW!

You guys may find this funny....... I know this thread is way down in the archives now, but I am packing for Texas this morning and have been sicker than a DOG for 2 days and was lacking ambition. I was dreading having to arrive at the airport at 6:00 am tomorrow and the long day of travel, the work that might (or might not) get done while I am gone, and the rumbly-bumbly going on in my stomach. I for some reason found this thread again and read it and felt rejuvenated for the hunt! It kinda made me all warm inside to think about the girls (HC1 & HC2), and how their hunt was one of the funnest hunts I have been on. It made me reflect on the concept of what it is about hunting that we live for... and it is obviously not the Killing ...... it is the comradery (sp?) and the memories that will span our lifetime. And also, that the obsticals we overcome while hunting not only make us better at it, but also make the memories that much better, too! It totaly changed my perspective on the day, on the trip ahead, and made me all fired up to go smoke me a Rio! Thanks Girls! You made my day, today.... with out even trying! I will always remember this elk hunt with you guys... I mean.... girls! Well, you know what I meant.... BTW..... Your Daddy did a great job on your Euro mounts I sure enjoyed looking at them on the wall when we were at your house! Thanks, UG

I would not waste your gas $$$$ just yet. They are ALL still closed.... most of the snow is gone, but not all and it did snow a bit on the rim last night. The birds are just now startin' to call, but not crazy yet. Just my $.02....

Bah HaHaHaHa!!! All I can say is..... SHUUURRR! Tobbacco pipe!

Thor.... OUTSTANDING Trophies!!!!!!! That is a Fantastic desert Ram! Details???? Here is my last sheep hunt and the most amazing hunting adventure I have ever been on! Being stranded in a tent for over 48 hrs straight with rain & snow,and having the wind blow so hard that your tiny little tent looks as if it will parashute you from the mountain, hiking 45 degree shale slids, and 60 degree slopes on a 4" wide sheep trail, traversing boulder fields that have a 1/4" of ice on them (that left a mark or two), and sleeping under the Aurora Borealis a half a dozen miles from your tent, food, and sleeping bag...... and so much more. What an adventure!

Been running the Pro Comp Extreme A/T on wife's 2500 Hemi, since Dec. of 2006 and they still have half the rubber on them and no problems. Don't know what size you are running but hers are 35x12.5 R17LT. Great tires! Good luck.

I can think of 2 possable reasons 1-Her Mom and Dad are the ones that found the Whiskey Buck sheds 2-And this is what I think. They Picked her up like a shed someone left behind There aint no way her UGLY father could have had anything to do with such a pretty girl You should see him dance around a camp fire to Deliverance Good Luck Kimberly from the whole family OUCH!!! I knew I there was a reason that I avoided your huntin' camps over there.... if ya'll are playin' banjo music you can count me out!!!

Geee, I wonder, Lark...... Must just be your bad luck. Lark, I kinda figured you for having a Really cool woman that did do all that stuff and killed lots of stuff, too .... and I figured that she would do most of her hunting with a spear or large knife... only killing the ones that she counted coue on first!

HaHaHaHa... Yup green with envy! If I had Scotty's money I'd burn mine!!!! Way Awesome trophies, Scott.... A lifetime of memories right there in those pics!!!! Congrats!

Way to go Dan!! Looks like you guys got it done in a big way!

+1 Ron! Spitfires are almost impossible to have a failure with! Everything I have shot with them has died with 1 1/4"-1 1/2" entrances and a 1 1/2" on exit.... Except the one that broke a shoulder into many pieces and did not pass through but the buck expired within 75 yds... On the other hand, I will not recommend the Rage based on the failures I have witness with others using them. CnS

That could be a new animal... a Leopard-Lion cross??? Hey..... the only good lion is.......the dead one lying in the bed of the pickup!!!

OUCH!!!!!

Well, smart-butt, why don't you give us an example of what your paying more for, other than fuel. Calling the rising cost of fuel a result of inflation is about the same as saying the canadian geese migration is the cause of global warming - their unrelated. I'm only 30 and certainly haven't seen it all, but I have see that fuel goes up every year regardless of what our economy is doing. Buy a hybrid or deal with it those are your options. And of course delivery costs will go up as a result, common sense there. I also hope you're including vehicles in your category of non-essentials, as the price on those usually plummets with the economy. Example: I've been hearing on the radio that one local dealership has Ram 1500's starting at $12k? Not to mention housing prices that are also falling through the floor, but again I guess you lump those in with i-pods. I do most of the grocery shopping in my house & haven't noticed an increase in the price of beef, pasta, or vegetables in the last three years. Apples are still 99 cents/lb. at Super Wal-mart, just like they were three years ago. Good point, though. Every economist I've seen on the news for the last couple months agrees we're in a recession, and there's going to be some bad things that go with that. The only thing that I find surprising about it, however, is that everyone seems surprised. Our economy has been driven on credit spending for the last 2 decades at least, not on real income. How long did people expect that to last? For God's sake, average household credit debt (cards, not counting auto-loans) has increased over 400% since 1980! The price of a new vehicle increased between 250%-300% between 1985 & 2000, while the average wage only went up around 10% for the same time period. Not to mention what's happening politically with all the uncertainty right now. The market never responds well around election time. And incidently, I am one of those people with a good job and savings. I'm also one of those that has almost no debt & usually pays for things in cash. Hate to be the one to break it to you, but you being bankrupt is great news for me. WOW.... Dude... I'd be carefull.... your words could turn to sawdust in your mouth before this is over with. There may be very, very few that are ammune to what could happen in this country. Now is a good time to be humble, and greatful for what you have... because arrogance will bite you. I don't know about your neck of the woods, but in mine we are suffering form more than just oil prices..... how about propane, electric, and water??? The ACC is going to put us all in the poor house with their big rubber stamp on utility increases and extra charges. And you are high on crack if you have not noticed that bread, milk, and anything made with corn has jumped in price at the market! We got a lot of work to do in this Country..... and it had better start with Transport Diesel Fuel costs and UYtility costs and trickle down from there...... IMO. CnS

I think they Should Not give us the checks. Then they could pool all those $$$$ together and contract with local businesses (Contractors), that employ only American Citizens, and build the Great Wall of Mexico with that money!!! Winner, winner Chicken dinner!!!!! Money stays in the US and is spent on MUCH need infastructure!! CnS
