Thanks! More glass then I need but I am getting older and I need to compensate for that. John

I already had a 4x3 in my freezer from up in X9a. I had my D16 tag and hunted it for the practice. I wasn’t going to pull the trigger on another Buck unless it was a really impressive one. If I hadn’t already had a Buck then I would have smoked him. He was never farther out than 275. So, chip...

My .30 06 has killed 5 deer. All with a 150 grain Barnes TTSX Boat Tail. My second rifle is a Tikka 7mm Rem Mag. If I could only have one then it is my .30 06. I passed on a 2x2 on D16 last season when I had my 7mm. I am sure it will drop any deer. I am using the same type of round as my .30 06...

I don’t see any evidence of tire marks. I suspect a cover up. I can’t believe some poor soccer Mom creamed such a magnificent animal while driving the kids back home from soccer camp. I am sure OPD is on it.

I will stick with D16. I can be at one of my hunting spots in under an hour. Not much money in gas and I can yell at the dorks who wake up late and walk through where I am hunting. NZ is cool. I would go for a Stag. But, still too pricey for me. John

Yep. It was really good. Nice job Trig and NWTF. John

Even with all the BS. There are still plenty of hunters willing to apply for X9a and X12. Crazy that it will take me another 8 years or so to earn enough points to draw X9a. When will the point increase stop? With everyone bailing out of this state when will I draw X9a or X12 with 3 points...

If there is ever a Zombie apocalypse, I want to be on your team. John

Yes. Both my Labs have been gifted with the natural ability to find any sign of edible rabbit droppings on my property. Seriously, they can find a game bird that is hidden anywhere they can scent it. Dogs are being trained to find all kinds of stuff from drugs to specific contraband that a...

It is like Group Counseling. Everyone is at a different place in terms dog training experience. You can learn much from others and eventually be in a position to help others. Your dog will learn to work with other dogs and learn how to hunt in partnership with other dogs and to honor points and...

Idaho is cool. They release pheasants every week during their season. Great way to get a young dog exposed to birds. We get hosed in Cali. Nothing comes easy in this State when it comes to hunting. Nothing like watching a young pointer on their first bird. Or any bird dog. The light switch goes...

I am a Lab guy but I do like him. Always exciting with a new dog. John

SJ has been good if you can get on. This was from a couple of Wednesdays back on a refill. Secret spot. John

Call the check station

I can’t Risk it. I will be napping and wake up and see those and slew them all. Too real. John

It is like a box of chocolates. You hope you pick a good one. My backyard Lab is a Chocolate Truffle. John

Yep. I think it was wounded by a hunter or died by some other way. Don’t see any signs of trauma to the neck or face. Mountain Lion would have crushed his pipe. A cat will drag off a shot deer and cache it. They eat out the liver and kidneys. I hate those things. John

I am seeing and hearing plenty. The cover is remarkably thick and water sources are abundant. They can really be anywhere. I plan on hunting them once D16 closes. John

There are plenty of great Labs out there without Field Trial credentials who will smoke many a dog on pheasants and ducks in the field. Often times it is the time you put in and the bond that you make that will determine if you end up with a great dog. Plenty of train wrecks out there caused by...

He is a good Warden. I give him so much crap when I see him. I hunted pheasants when he was out with his family hunting a couple of years back. Great kids and wife was really good with a Shotgun. He has a good sense of humor once you get to know him. John
