Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire On the border...

Thanks for the post Kent! BTW I think I have 8 deer points

Thanks for the pics and story.
Great that your leg is doing better.

I had my quarterly doc visit Thursday. When I was leaving the nurse handed me a prescription and the filled out forms for a handicapped tags.

I'll have to get some of pack trip "fix" thru you guys.

We were just south of Guadalupe mountain, new country to me. I've hunted the Chiricahuas on the west side before. I have a chiricahua tag for the thanksgiving hunt.

8 points will get you some nice december coues hunts, probably not 33 as a NR but for sure the central and southern units.

I've hunted the area north of Douglas in Oct. 32 I think? partener shot my buck after I missed at 630 across the canyon.

Probably 30A where we just were or 29 chiricahuas. With 8 points you have the choice of many units. Last year a NR needed 10 points to have a chance at a 33 tag but that unit is an exception, not the rule.

You can pretty much pick your year and where. Of course I have all the necessities, just get your ass down here.

Interesting story. What do you do if you run across some illegals?

Depends on what you run across them with?

Kent, pretty country, good tales. I'm dazzled that y'all have skeeters out there. Really.

Depends on reading their attitude.

I've had them lay on the ground face down pretending I can't see them to aggressively asking where my truck was. I've told them to keep calm I'm just hunting to not saying a word, staring them in the eyes while walking by.

This is my country, my habitat, I have the advantage and fire power if someone wants to get aggressive.

I used to call BP if I could, but for them to send out an agent taking hours in this rough country when they are gone and miles away, it isn't worth it. I finally figured it out when no one ever showed up. Not a bash, just reality.

We've got record rains the last couple months with almost none the rest of the year. Mosquitoes go crazy when they can, we've had them here at the house so bad I can't take the granddaughter outside to play.

Good news that your leg is better Kent.

That way if I draw a WMAR elk tag next year you can carry me around.

Your skinny now... but would still need to lose some weight...

Kent

Man it is late Oct and I had to water my lawn today.

True,I'll try and get some weight off.For instance,instead of 5 rounds in the rifle I'll carry 4.

Rancher said they've gotten 20 inches of rain this year and 8 last month. He couldn't ever remember so much before. That country is lush and his winter range, he has feed for a couple years, and good for him.

Kent

You get one... make it count...

Kent

Then you better have that elk tied to a tree!

You'll only need a knife then... see, you've lost a whole rifles weight already...

Kent

Prefer an axe or a spear. I'm not Ingwe,I'm not that tough.

Live a little.....

Knives for wild hogs...
