  Not a fan of the poisonous snakes. Nope not at all. I quite enjoy killing them. Killed something like 35-40 of them this summer/fall.

  @hypo, It’s probably man-bear/pig. Half man, half bearpig. We have a couple (2) wolves in the area last I checked but they were further north. I have a 85 pound Malinois puppy at home. He’s got big feet, but not this big. I don’t think it’s anything canine. This print has to be at least six inches wide. Figure that quarter is 45 thou less than an inch. I’ve done some checking and that’s too big for all but the odd few cats. I think the official word is bear. I’ll be back up there in a couple days for more scouting. I’ll see if I I can’t find more or better prints.

  I enjoy shooting, stalking, practicing in the rain. Thinking about going out while in the house might be daunting and even sometimes when it starts raining my "city" brain tries to kick in and say "why are you out here in the rain". But the funny thing is, when you are out in the rain, it seems far less disruptive that when you are actually out in it. Even "noah's rains" don't seem too bad. Of course, I grew up in Florida where our idea of a "regular rain" most people call a "heavy rain". Also, more recently, when I've been doing my wind practice, I've noted the rain (or the snow) is a useful wind gauge, so it has value for that as well! == Well, in Kansas, we don't have hogs and we don't have p-dogs ... just coons, opossum, yotes ... so I dont' get to have fun shooting p-dogs ... though it does not sound like I would like what they do to pastures.

  Draw deadline for AZ Deer/Sheep is Tuesday. Just put my draw in for me and my youngest. I'm going for Whitetails only in two different units. For my boy, I put him in for Youth only, any antlered deer, in two units, and a youth only, any deer, in a unit near the AZ/UT border. I bought a point only for my son for Javelina, and a point for me in bighorn sheep.

  @tackyp Very cool. I wouldn’t mind hiking the 150 miles from. Death Valley to Whitney, but as you say I can’t stand California politics and don’t intend to return. It is a shame that such beautiful country is wasted on liberals.

  Is it possible the black yote might have been a hybrid. It looks beefier that the other yotes.

  Usually I shoot coyotes with a camera, which is always rolling and getting them. It was certainly a change of mindset being on the set with a rifle. Lots of miles put on, but through beautiful country I'm ready for more.

  Indeed very busy but I like it ;) There are not all here, the ones that are missing is simply because I have not taken photos, it is usually late and I have to load it in the car, peel and cut it. To date 19 hogs this season and 3 lost wounded.

  Glad I live in the country. Around the corner from me taken on the way to work an hour ago. Walked all the way to go back property corner. Lots of critter sign. This is one of the smaller burrows. 12" opening under the roots. At least I got the frame done. Fixing a leaking front hose spigot was the priority. Can't have a well run dry. Was making a wet spot that could eventually soak the crawlspace. Base is next. H frame of PVC with two upright pipes to hold the frame.

  I think the bear faked him out. It was never looking directly at him but was slowly working its way closer to the hunter. Then when it was close enough for a quick burst of speed it pounced. Smarter than your average bear?

  @ramirojpc Man made fibers cannot compare to natural...except for the fact that they are usually cheaper. I have a merino wool t shirt for hiking. same thing...smell is less and it is warm when layered and cool when not layered. I use wool (not merino) socks for running as well. They are much better than cotton. Silk is also a very nice and lightweight alternative to UA. it is not as robust...but works just as well and is 1/3 of the weight.

  I found a great place in West Palm Beach inside the biggest Gander Mountain I have ever seen. I would eat there at least once a week in 2015 when I was running Atlanta to WPB frequently. The manager gave me a 20% discount. It had all the offshore deep sea fishing equipment and the guides would come in there in the early mornings or after taking the boats out of the water to restock tackle. Decent selection of used guns but over priced due to the affluence in the area.

  It gives guys bad names, those of us who are doing it right. And it ruins it as well, my dad was talking already about next year, and I told him, I don't know if I'll rifle hunt next year, I'm tired of the road hunters. One of the guys we hunt with watched a nice buck for an hour, then when it was about ready to cross onto our property a guy drives up on the road and shoots it. I watched road hunters every day I was out there and there's not a lot I can do about it. Seriously the roads around us are mostly dead ends or roads with bridges out. And it drives me crazy. Every bastard we can get off who's doing it wrong will help.

  Too Bad to hear about the Guide Experience, There are a lot of Land owners that have recently decided to be come Outfitters and it has caused some issues. One bordering our land was running his dogs on the fence line and they of course would cross onto our property and chase the deer beaded down. Congrats on the Elk, its making me hungry for some elk steaks.
