I'm 5'8" 170lb
still doesn't Give you the right to violate him after he's dead just cause he's bigger than you!
Just because thats what you weirdo West Valley folk do to your pine mountain deer, does not mean people in other parts of the country do the same 8)

Just because one west valley-ian does that doesn't mean we all do that. :chuckle:

Karl sure as heck isn't a west valley-ian!

No, but I am and I don't violate animals after I've killed them. :chuckle: karl is a breed unto hisself. He's like an ant, can carry 10 times his weight and come back for more. :chuckle:
  and for the record, it's only like 5 times my body weight and I'm only good for like 4 or 5 trips like that before I need a nap :chuckle: 8)

Eat big to get big right!?!! 

I will do a year in review on my experiences with the Long Range Accubonds after the season is over and I've dropped a few more critters but I will just say that this IS my new bullet!  Can't thank you enough Coach for turning me on to these and then feeding the addiction when i couldnt find any :chuckle:

He's a bit evil in my opinion...he says, "here redman, shoot goat with stick and string" and then pulls out this big custom cannon to shoot and then expects you to convert to bow after firing the cannon........twisted and evil. :chuckle:

Ummm...I believe it. He also need to touch up on his guesstimating. Him and karl both say just a little ways or not far and its nearly double...I like a good workout but dang...at least come a bit closer on your estimate. :chuckle:

If I told the truth then people wouldn't follow.  If I can bait with a little white lie like, "its on the other side of that hill", you will be committed to go over that hill.  At that point it doesn't matter that its 4 miles on the other side of that hill :chuckle:

Thank you sir!  I'm a little sad I didn't get to hunt more and really see what the unit had to offer towards the end of the week when the rut got going a little bit, but I lacked the willpower to pass on a deer like that.

Tell the truth... did you put the head in bed with you when you got home??  I know it was at least on the floor next to the bed.  LMAO.

Karl is a better guestimate liar than Coach.  We call them Wisner miles.  If Coach says "its about a mile from the trailhead" plan on 4.

Karl, I see you are shooting the LR Accubonds...What caliber are you shooting them in? I've been contemplating going to them in my 6.5x284...I've been having great success with the 140's and well, seeing your success this year, I assume it's all about being from the "right" side of the state and shooting the right bullet...

Congrats! Loved reading your story and seeing you and your friends get some great animals.
Wishing I was fishing...or in Wyoming
