so it\'ll take two trips of wife shopping.

This sounds very, very expensive....

I looked at wally world today and they didn\'t have it. Going to keep looking.

Swede, I gotta admit thats what I do sometimes. Is that actually stealing? Don\'t tell me if you think it is. :silent:

 

[Jaquomo]

Mainebrdr, if the publishers were worried about it they\'d put it in plastic wrap. They\'re hoping you\'ll find enough interesting info to buy it.

Not stealing from me because I get paid on acceptance or publication, depending on the publishing company. So steal away!

 

[Swede]

I figure about the time the magazine police threaten to come and run me off, I will tell them \"ok, I just need take my wife now and go home\". Reading at the store has never been a problem.

Great read, Lou!

Dead ram walking if you draw that sheep tag

Derek, I honestly never had him scored but within a few inches give or take of 315, I\'d say.

Finally got a chance to pick up the magazine today. Great article Lou, very well done! :upthumb:

 

[Jaquomo]

Thanks, guys. Now that I\'ve lured everybody out of the backcountry and turned them into road hunters, maybe the wilderness areas will be like the \"good old days\" again!

 

[cohunter14]

Hahaha, I think there needs to be a lot more of those articles to pull that off Lou!

 

[Jaquomo]

Maybe if I\'d included a photo of the 353 bull I killed 1/2 mile inside a wilderness? You\'re right, cohunter, after investing $6000 in clothes and backpack hunting gear those guys aren\'t likely to bother us out near the roads..

And that\'s just fine with guys like me, Brad, and Matt!

 

[cohunter14]

I\'m right there with you Lou! That cracks me up that you took a 353 bull 1/2 mile into a wilderness area. I\'ve always said if I hunted wilderness, I would go less than a mile into the wilderness and jump off the trail and hunt there. Easiest way to escape everyone who is hunting the area!

 

[Jaquomo]

Full disclosure - it was in a prime limited entry unit. But I should have killed a 330 bull last year that I called-in right on the wilderness boundary in a regular unit. Just not quite in my recurve range.

Two years ago the biggest bull killed in CO with a bow came from a zero-point unit, called-in by a relatively inexperienced bowhunter about 1/4 mile from a popular ATV trail and about five miles from my cabin. That bull grossed 382. You don\'t have to bivy-in ten miles to find solitude and big bulls. Just have to get away from other hunters, however you do it. I guess that was the point of my article.

A good friend has gone 6 for 7 on bulls doing just exactly what you describe. He jumps off the trail and takes a 90 about a mile in. Never sees anybody, either.

Not surprised! What part of the state are you in Lou? I always hear you talking about being in the mountains, but I don\'t think I\'ve every caught where you are at.

Lou, maybe you should write an article about \"Workouts for the car camper\" or \"Nutrition: It matters for the car camper, too!\" ... maybe some exercises for pulling the pull start on your ATV. You might get a \"following\" of sorts, and at the very least, I\'m sure you\'ll get a few free beers when you visit other camps.
