Painting is the key to a great mount. Sending pictures is really necessary as fish of the same species coloration varies a lot, depends on the water and location where it was caught. This 50# Dorado was mounted about 30 years ago. It is a fiberglass repro. Still looks great. This species has...

This is a mount of my wife's Brown. I had it done by a taxi in Texas. Sent picture and dimensions, it is a fiberglass reproduction. I found them on the Internet. Most taxi's that specialize in fish, make casts of an original and then use it as a mould for repros. Unfortunatly most are along the...

I'll start by saying I've never hunted them. I have read a lot of stories about these hunts and have talked to several outfitters about doing a hunt. I remember them saying they saw the skull in half to fold the antlers so they fit easier in shipment.

Just looked at the weather and it was 39 last night....I knew it felt a little chilly this AM!

One of the reasons we are so intune to the monsoons is that we really depend on them for our late summer/early fall moisture. It has a big effect on the next years water supply. If we don't get much (like the last 2 years), the soil in the mountains really dries out and the next springs snow...

Been a member for awhile and am a member of several forums that I am interested in (eg. aerospace, street rods, auto racing, etc). A couple of them are really great, some are just to keep up with current happenings in that field of interest. This forum and most of it's members are the most...

Lots of lightning and thunder.........and rain this morning. Rained most of the night too.

Hope we have a couple of feet of snow by 4th season!

Rained the last 3 evenings. Lots of hail last night, raining right now. More forecast next week. Archery opens in a couple of weeks, better bring your rain wear!

Good idea. have to try it.

There are a lot of different things that come into play as mentioned. About 10 years ago I found a bullet that really shot well in my .257 Wby mag. I shot an antelope with it and found that when it hit a bone, the bullet exploded and really made a mess. Never used that bullet again.

Doe Mule Deer..........10 yards with a .38 pistol. When I owned a pretty large apple orchard (265 trees) here in SW Colorado, the deer were driving me nuts eating apples and my trees. I got 5 depredation tags from Game & Fish and took my S & W Model 15 .38 cal with a red Dot sight and climbed...

Over 500 miles one way, over $200.00 for Diesel. I'll wait!

I have a set of Leupold blued steel !'" scope rings that came off the rifle I ruined. They fit a commercial Mauser action and are detachable rings with a lever on the bases.. Leupold still makes them and they have different bases for other actions available. Pictures of them are on my Thread...

It's on the way from Tucson, Az to my local FFL.

Not sure very many states do OTC Antelope anymore except a few units in Wyoming. Need to check the websites as things change every year. Thye ones that are leftover in Wyoming usually are in units that are largely private land.

In the last several months I have noticed a big drop off of posts. I would expect to see an increase of successful tag holders and future hunters asking lots of questions and asking for advice. Is it just me or have other members noticed the same thing?

Pretty warm here too. I just got back from my morning walk of a couple of miles. I do it early when it's still cool and always take my Lab with me.

After a couple of weeks that were pretty dry, the monsoons are back The last 2 night lots of thunder, lightening and rain. Our irrigation water allotment was increased last week for the second time this season. Hope this continues for another month or so.
