Title: Lose a 1X2?
Post by: thinkingman on November 15, 2012, 02:04:22 PM: I was chukar hunting a draw in the Colockem on Sunday and found a recently killed spike.
I could not see a bullet wound but can tell you it was not yet stiff.
Hadn't been touched by scavengers, either.

Post by: thinkingman on November 18, 2012, 09:02:31 PM: I wasn't prepared for anything like that, had a bird vest and a bit of water.
Small knife and a shotgun.

Interested to hear back.
