The "devils ridge" That's where you see elk all day but you wanna shoot your self for being the idiot for being on that ridge! Last year blowing 50 mph, lightning, raining sideways, and hail! I am in a lifted blue suburban! Say hey if you see us....

Dont you hate seeing brand new signs on public land! Its bull sh@T!!!

It might not always be public land that you're seeing those signs on. I have to put up brand new signs on my land almost every year because yahoos tear them down. My land abuts some corporate land, and a corporate road has an easement through a corner of my place.

I'm always amazed by the attitude of some people who come here from outside the area to hunt. I've had people say that it should all be open access out here in the "country" and there shouldn't be any place off limits to them. I'll bet that attitude would change if I showed up in their suburban neighborhood, parked an RV on their lawn, dumped my garbage all around and started shooting the squirrels out of their landscaping. I'm guessing that they would want to start exercising their private property rights pretty quickly!

Please, try and remember that those of us who live out here in the countryside have property rights, too, and if you don't tear down our signs and trespass every year, then we don't have to put up new signs all the time.... ;)

Happy Hunting!

Post by: teanawayslayer on November 10, 2010, 02:18:28 PM: congrats on all your elk. One thing though. I know it is good to get pics of your animal before you tag it. But come on. Not smart when you start posting pics on the net, without a tag. :bdid:

Post by: teanawayslayer on November 10, 2010, 03:11:21 PM: Well my bad. I didn't see one tag in those photo's so either it isn't tagged or it's covered up. Just an observation.

I ALWAYS shove the tag so far in the ear you need a pair of needle nose to pull it out so in my opinion nearly all the animals pictured on this site could be legally tagged

Dude, if you tag it you only get one elk. Think about it... Sounds like he has 3 more "tags" to go!

Post by: Hawk I on November 10, 2010, 03:27:24 PM: Great bulls. Hope you get those other tags filled.

Post by: HEADSHOT on November 14, 2010, 07:32:42 PM: tru I do mean three more tags to go, thats how many were in our party! I love tha drama this site creates, anyone else get a bull yet?
Title: Re: Southwest elk anyone? pics! one down 3 to go!
Post by: vtec on November 14, 2010, 08:18:51 PM: Drama for sure, Congrats on a vary nice bull and I could give 2 sh$%s if it's tagged or not. Wtf some people are just stupid and need to keep there observations to themselves. Really who the hell would not tag this bull big deal if it's before or after the photo. I know what the regs say but don't ruin the moment. Once again congratulations on a fine bull!!!!!
Title: Re: Southwest elk anyone? pics! one down 3 to go!
Post by: Hunterman on November 14, 2010, 08:59:44 PM: Congrats on the bull dude..As for the tag thing, if I have to pack or drag an animal out, I'll cut it, and put it in my pocket and tag it when I don't feel it will get lost in the brush..Congrats again..Oh yeah,,I screwed mine off :bash:
