I confess to the occasional Mocha. My order usually goes like this: "16 ounce mocha, please."
Oscar, this thread remined me of a funny site...check this out:http://www.illwillpress.com/
click on tunes tab and then Coffee House Propaganda and Small, Medium, Large hell...they're all funny
Jose,
That has to be the single best post you have ever made (under any moniker).
BTW what's your opinion of index funds and do you care to recommend one?
What are the success rates for these hunts?
I'm not personally affected by this but from what's been posted so far the only group being "hurt" is the dedicated september tag applicant.
Hypothetically, lets say that the success rate for the Unit 9's 100 September tags (since it was mentioned)...
Hello? Does this ring a bell? Last time I checked, "thick stuff" tends to deflect arrows.
Cut shooting lanes or be more disciplined about taking marginal shots.
Congratulations Del! You have just discovered a new way to deke antelope. Take a hyper kid and let'em go tear-assin' around. Voila' the antelope run right in.
You'll be giving Buzz and his "Sleep your way to trophy elk" a run for his money in no time
Quiet metal zipper pulls on packs with heat shrink tubing.
Homemade boresnake for .243 caliber and larger:
3 foot piece of 550 parachute cord
1 inch section of old cleaning rod
5 minute epoxy
Lead shot
Pull the inner cords out of the 550 cord so you have just the sheath.
Put shot into...
I like to give them a little smack on the fanny all the while giving their 'ol man my best "knowing" wink;)
Perks 'em right up and gives them something to talk about on the way home
I have several packs (I'm kind of a gear junkie). Each has its place.
Decide what you want to do and what you want the pack to do and then get the pack thats best suited to that style of hunting. Waterproof Microfleece type material is great for a daypack, especially if you're sneaking through...
Gents,
The following was posted on our company network "Trading Post". I emailed Mrs. Heidkamp and got her permission to put this on HT. For those of you who guide or know guide/outfitters, she is looking to book a hunt. Feel free to contact her at the email address listed. PLEASE this is...
Personally I'm not excited about an all copper bullet nor do I buy the "higher velocity" argument. Yes, all else being equal, lighter means faster and therefore flatter trajectories BUT light projectiles lose energy faster than heavier ones. And after all, its energy that kills game not feet...
Ref raincoast/expansion: This is what happens when you don't live in a free country.
Trophy schmophy!! I am so sick of that oft parroted cliche'.......If I pay several grand for the opportunity to persue an animal, and I connect....you betcherass I'm gonna eat him.
I've had the same Cabela's Alaskan II since 1991, which is basically a Camp Trails Moose Freighter frame with a Cabela's pack bag. This pack can hold more weight than you can carry. In 14 years, I've modified the frame a bit, repaced a few grommets and pins, and stitched the occasional seam...
Oneida, young punks always check at the turn. ;)
Great Bull Kid! By all means enjoy the high of your success this season along with the "bragging rights" of that bull, 'cause you'll probably never kill a better one. Now, haul your butt to the range and get your rifle zeroed and/or practice...
schmalts,
You're basically correct, but that's because of concentrated pressure combined with a naturally low density of animals more than being dropped off in a poor area. Prime habitat averages 1.5 moose/sq mi.
If you intend to hunt from a fixed camp select early dates as long as that...
Application period closed yesterday at midnight.
Results for Dall Sheep, Goats, Brown Bear and Koyukuk Moose will be posted in mid Feb.
Good luck to all who applied
Next application period 1 to 31 May
If you have the means to store your skull until spring/summer, I suggest laying the skull on an anthill. In 3 or 4 days your skull will be picked clean. Then soak in peroxide for a few hours to whiten the bone. (JJHack's beetles on the cheap)
Also, balloons work well for keeping...
