"Public Land Raghorns" hahahahahaha you dog!
Never on opening day but did kill one on September 3rd and it was my first morning of hunting. Called in and shot at the first crack of dawn and didn't find it until 6 PM. Lost blood and tracks as it went through a meadow and resulted to doing...
If it doesn't show up by August 31st I'll be screwed. Antelope opens for archery on August 15th and Deer opens for archery on September 1st.....that will screw up my whole season.
Good to see an antlered animal hit the ground for 2012. This is the first I've seen! Congrats on opening the year for all of us :) . Is this the first year CA has had this season???? I've never heard of it before this year.
I'm a loner as well and basically don't have any other point to bring up that the others already haven't. The only thing I will say is it's always a lot more fun when someone is there to celebrate the kill with. You can't hug and high five yourself. Although the fist pumps and the feelings of "I...
Great pics and thanks for sharing! Sounds like a great weekend. Don't really want to guess on the bull. Can only see his tops real well but he is a dandy of a bull!
Been scouring google earth off and on all day looking at other secluded canyons close by in case they disappear......scratch that WHEN they disappear. They didn't get that big on accident.
Thanks MontanaWild, and Big Slick the first 10 pics or so that I took are nothing but a blur because I couldn't hold still enough. After a few minutes of watching them I finally was able to get some good pics. Pretty good considering those are phone pics through the spotting scope :)
mixedbag...
Well, I drew a great deer tag for Wyoming. I had 4 days under my belt of scouting and had found an area with exceptional deer numbers, and more importantly buck numbers. I was going to focus my efforts there as I just knew it held "the one" besides the fact I hadn't seen anything I would call...
I had my hands on a few right when they came out as well that I got for free. I decided I'd take them to the range one day, shot it into a broad head target and all of the razor wires broke off. I tried the second one and got the same result. Emailed the guy I got them from and he told me they...
Went scouting/bear hunting today. Wanted to find a different way into the area I shot my bull in last year. I found it but it's a LONG ways in....but a lot flatter. Anyway, saw this cow coming right at me so i jumped off the trail, ripped off my pack, and grabbed my camera. Right when I hit...
I'll remember the yellow flowers tomorrow. I have killed one small boar (my first) in a field full of those flowers but only saw him for about 3 seconds before shots were fired. Didn't put two and two together until just now.
Congrats on the bear! Certainly nothing better then killing a new species.
I bit the bullet and did the 'ol over the shoulder pack out job myself once.
