Mc, that sounds like a good time. MM, if I end up huting deer in Idaho I will drive directly through Colfax. I would love to try some of the sausage.

One of the years with that body style has disc brakes. I think 73. But I have a couple I've found. We will see. The wife thinks the gas will cost to much for her. But I think the coolness will offset the cost of fuel!

73 is the first year of the next body style. 73 to 78 I think. 69-72 are the same. 68 has the same cab but the hood and fenders are different, tapered back more at the front of the hood. 67 is the same as 68 except the back window is smaller and they dont have the clearance light in the fender. A 72 gmc 1/2 ton 2 wd has disc brakes on the front. IDK if that was the first year of disc brakes? My first truck was a 69 3/4 ton and I got a 67 3/4 ton sitting in my front yard waiting for me to put the engine from the 72 gmc in it.

You better hurry up timber! I know you didnt draw 42 and general deer season in ID already started and my girlfriend really likes the sausage so it could all be gone soon:) This antelope jerkey sure is good!!!!!!!

This could be my best creation yet! 17lb antelope, 3lb beef, 4lb beef fat, hi mountains brat seasoning + ravens all purpose seasoning and pepper, 8 jalapenos, 1 onion, 1 head of garlic, 1 red bell pepper. Just put the last batch in the smoker:)

A friend of mine Jason Ostler came across these bulls locked up! Instead of letting the bulls suffer anymore he and another hunter put an arrow in them. They then used their tags and instead of letting the meat go to waste it will feed their families! Even afterwards they still weren't able to get the racks apart. Should make for a great mount.

So who gets the mount?! 6 month swap?

I can say something like that but with antelope! Hope I get an elk this year. Where Im going is spike only with a general tag. Not real exciting but time in the mountains if nothing else and scouting for when I hopefully draw a tag someday! Pretty close to home but I never been there so be fun getting to know some new country:)

Here is my AR, well the first part of it anyways! lol. Got a blemished upper and lower from Areo precision and honestly had to look pretty hard to find any blemishes. Just a couple very small dings and scratches that it would get with normal use anyways. Havent decided on the rest yet other then its going to be a .204 Ruger and Im going to put a good trigger in it.
