Congrats Kev. That second picture is one for the wall. Maybe you need a nurse to check your finger. I will see if I can find one for you:nurse::nurse:

Start out by saying...No personal experience. From all I have read and heard the wolves in Montana, Idaho & Wyoming are having a negative impact on the elk, deer cattle & sheep populations, which is having a negative impact on not only hunting, but ranching also. If the wolves are left unchecked, I feel that there will be a definite decrease in wildlife numbers to the point where they may become endangered. I would also imagine that left unchecked, the wolves will migrate to new locations as their populations increase. The impact is felt throughout numerous industries due to the reduction in hunters visiting these states. It affects the State Fish & Wildlife depts. by reduced income from fewer hunting licenses, it affects motels, cafes, gas stations, outfitters...etc. by having fewer visitors/hunters. I guess in all fairness though, it does create more tourist that want to get a glimpse of a wolf, but I doubt that it offsets the loss from hunters.

If this was facebook, I would hit the "LIKE" button.

Are you through or are you going to have more time to hunt? Finally got a chance to watch the videos. It is bad enough that they are sneaking over here, but then to just have no respect for the land by littering and destroying everything just rubs salt into the wound. What were the sugar sacks for? Just using them as packs? It would have been interesting to go up into the old mine, but no telling what you would have found or what would have found you. I think you made the right choice.

Congrats to the whole wtnhunt clan!!!! One more and you can have your own basketball team going:yes::yes::yes:

I am sure you have heard this already Steve, but Thank You for everything you do. Funny how it works out when an easy hunt is what you really need for the hunter, that is what you got. I would say you had a little help from above on that one. Congrats to you & Mark

environmental protection agency (EPA) requires us here in Texas to plant some type of ground cover to eliminate the possibility of soil erosion getting into the storm drainage systems. I would venture to say any state that takes federal money into their highway department has the same requirements. If the ground is bare, it has to have some type of erosion protection in place. Now with that said, the choice of plant type may not have been the best, but I am sure they wanted something that would grow or at least be sustainable during the colder weather.

Thanks everyone, I am very proud of him. Right now he is ranked number 5 in his class as a junior. He may not be the stud jock in sports, but in the long run, I imagine this will work out better for him. That is under consideration. Thinking about doing the youth elk hunt in NM over Christmas again. Ummm.... did somebody say something:chair: He kind of fell in the middle somewhere, his mom's attitude (which is both good & bad) and my looks and brains (both good & bad, I will let you decide).:gun1:

I would like to thank William for teaching me how to crop pictures. I think these will be a little easier to see.

But you are going to have to click the link to see what about.:cool2: I hate when people do this. On to the bragging. My son made the National Honor Society and they had the induction ceremonies last night. Thought I would throw a couple of pics out there of the event. Going to get the award. Accepting. Swearing in. Swearing in close up. Proving he is still my son.

Good luck Mark, and be careful down there.

Congrats Kev, should be some good eats.

I imagine Kevin Harvick and Bill Jordan think it matters, among others. But, I will concede, I didn't lose any sleep over it.

You know, I haven't watched many nascar races in a few years, but did catch the finish of this one. Thought it was interesting that they (TV) never bothered to show a replay showing where the cars were when the yellow came out. I wonder why? They had plenty of time during the cool down lap, the hand shake, the burnout by the 33 before it was announced he was the winner, etc. The last view they showed of them racing under green had the 29 ahead but that was before the caution came out. Surely somewhere in that group of cameras there was one on the lead two cars.... Nascar being nascar once again. Now I remember why I don't care about it anymore.

No Mike, a trillion hours is JUST;) around 114 million years, give or take 100,000 years or so. Unless of course you are talking about it exploding in the future, then you may be 100% correct.:surrender:

In the top picture, just to the left of the bull you can see a small white area shoulder high. That white is the fletching of an arrow that is sticking out of the bull. In the bottom photo, while it is hard to see, if you look close you can see the blood stain down his side. We watched this bull for about 5 minutes and he displayed absolutely no signs that he was affected by the arrow. Moved normally, walked normally, etc. I know you can't tell by the pictures but this is a 6x7 bull that is really nice. I can see why someone flung an arrow at him.

Sent you a pm Steve. Here is another view, that I mentioned in pm. Looks like something else showed up in this picture.

I was really hoping you would get to put your tag on something. They are there, without a doubt. Can't wait to see your pictures. Glad you had a good hunt.

Congrats Dave and 3seasons, that is an interesting looking critter you got there. And MCH in my most unsarcastic voice "I hope you do get lucky" :kiss: we could use the points. Be sure to get us pictures.:jaw:Too bad he won't see this.:clown:

Same picture zoomed in the second time. Let me know if you notice anything.

Please do. Not that anybody would think he was, but Steve is def. not lying there are a few "nice" bulls out there. I might just happen to have a picture of one for you in just a few minutes.

Maybe you shouldn't go to the woods....just sayin;);)
