    It might have been a kitten but if it had ahold of your face it would feel like the king of the jungle

    Cougars on the loose now?

    I just watched a story on the today show where a cougar attacked a lady riding a bike with 4 other friends in Washington. The cougar grabbed the lady by the head and they were able to fight the woman free and they claim they were able to hold the cougar down with a bicycle until until...

    Antelope - Point Burn Round 2

    We saw a few herds of antelope just north and east of Walden, south of the sand dunes. I can not say that I seen any big bucks but I am sure you would have a decent hunt. We were looking for deer so maybe it is even better than what we seen.

    Best Western Big Game State To Retire In???

    If the only consideration is hunting then Wyoming would be my choice. But hunting season is to short and my wife and I can only eat so much game meat. I faced the same decision 2 years ago and moved to AZ. I live in a smaller town outside of Phoenix. I golf every week and I usually wear shorts...

    Arizona Bass Fishing

    My dad fished a lot of club level tournaments up till his passing in 2015. The pickup is the second load of tackle I took out of his garage. I had people pulling up beside me in town wondering when the yard sale would be. We looked like the fishing version of the Klampet's. I kept what I wanted...

    Arizona Bass Fishing

    OK, I know this is a hunting site. I will get my trash out of here as soon as possible. I have lived in AZ for almost 2 years now. In the 80's and 90's I fished a lot of bass tournaments. Now that I am retired I want to start bass fishing again. I just bought a new to me bass boat and I already...

    Elk 24-1 or 38-9 worth max points?

    How come no one has mentioned 30, 31, or 32? Granted you are not 100% with max points but the same holds true for 100 and 124. I hunted 24 last year and I had a great hunt. I killed a branch bull but 24 is not a trophy unit. Also the archery hunt on 24 has gotten crowded. I saw more people on...

    Realistic Expectation

    I sat next to a guy at a 21 table that had 9 grand in chips in front of him. He started with 100 dollars. He dropped down to 6 grand then cashed out. This would never happen to me. Why? Because when I got to $600 I would have been gone. Same happens to me on the mountain. My 2 best deer are 178"...

    Ground Shrinkage or Gain - Pack Giveaway

    My nephew was with me when I shot this bull. It was a muzzy hunt in New Mexico. After the first shot he said "you shot his horn off!" 2 more shots and he was on the ground. It turns out he had broke it fighting and I did not realize he was a one horn bull when I first shot.

    Booking Africa at the Utah hunt expo?

    We got the idea to do Africa a few years ago and spent all day talking to Outfitters at the expo. If you are going to the expo anyway I am sure you will get plenty of info. Our wives were not as excited about the trip as we were so we ended up fishing in Hawaii instead.

    Unit 61 or 62 Antelope?

    I had unit 24 elk this year. I met the Biologist in the field. He said winter kill was worse south of green mountain. I did not make it into unit 60, but 61 and 64 had less antelope than 106 and 68. If you want to hunt next year I would go with 68.

    ANYBODY WATCHING THE NFR???

    I was there Tuesday and Wednesday Night. We saw the Ky wreck live. We were shocked he was back the next day. The first tie down roper out of the box Wed night set a arena record at 6.4. We were all still on our feet cheering when the next guy went 6.1. It was so loud that it spooked the calf...

    Now with the Utah scope ban. I was thinking my muzzle loader maybe legal in other states ?

    You can use a inline muzzleloader in Oregon. You are correct on the percussion caps

    Father Son Doubled up and a mess...

    Thanks for sharing your story. You Wyoming guys are way tougher than me. I would love to live in Wyoming but I am a sissy when it comes to being cold. That is why I live in Arizona, 75 here today.

    A3 charges

    I saw quite a bit of spot lighters. Even on the highway from Jacob lake to the park. There were side by sides with lights shinning every direction. That is why I chose to not hunt the burn. There were some monsters killed in the burn this year. We saw the same rigs on the same roads for several...

    Early rifle 12aw pics?

    Maybe. Fish and game aged him at 8 years old. When I walked up to him I did not think his body was huge. Maybe he was going backwards. I guess I was to busy looking at his horns to realize he was getting skinny

    Early rifle 12aw pics?

    I had the tag this year. I spent time scouting and hunting with Rockymtnhunter. Dan was a great help and we were able to come up with a game plan that kept me out of the war zone. I killed this buck on day 5. He is 28 1/2" wide 4x5. There was a absolute beast non-typical killed in the burn. I...

    Deer tag surrender

    My wife's 12AW early rifle tag will go back Monday. We both drew the tag but we put in individually. We are residents with 14 points. She had knee surgery this summer. Her knee is doing well but they took all her vacation time before she could go on disability. There will be some happy people...

    WADE LEMON fiasco???

    Was at a seminar in Reno years ago. I think it was Dave Miranda but I am not sure. He had insurance similar to what is being described. He was in Africa and got horrible kidney stones. His insurance would not fly him out because kidney stones are not life threatening. He was driven through a...

    Ruger M77 Mark II 25-06 with Ammo

    I purchased this gun new roughly 25 years ago. About 15 years ago I sent it to a gunsmith in Utah. I can not remember his name but I believe he was linked to Double Tap Ammo. He installed a new stock, trigger, scope, and ballistic turret. At that time I believe the bill was about 2 grand. It...

    Any lawyers out there?

    My biggest concern with the do nothing and fix it yourself route is there are no consequences and another young person gets a little more entitled. If this was me I would not hire a lawyer, even if you win you will lose money. I would absolutely file a small claims case. The court fees are...

    I have a tingling sensation, bro?

    My best friends son had his hat on backwards. He was about 13 at the time. I asked him if he was going to play baseball that summer. When he said yes I asked him if he thought he would play catcher? He said no, I likely will play 3rd base and pitch a little. Then I told him he should turn his...

    Cc hits Begin!

    I got curious and looked up my wife's points. She had 14 also. For some reason I thought we had missed her deer app a few times. Luckily I did buy point guard for her, if her knee is not doing well we can get her points back

    My card was hit Tuesday morning. I have two charges for $45. As a resident I expected 12AW early with 14 points. The second charge must be my wife with the same hunt. I did not even look up her points because I did not think she would draw. She has ACL surgery in 3 weeks. Hope she can walk good...
