Hmm...wasn't there an episode of Fresh Tracks where Randy hired a helicopter to access some locked in public land? If you can swing the $$ I say go for it.
I've been hunting here in NV since before they went to a bonus point system. Before then we would just go to the local bait shop and buy deer tags.
I will tell you the hunting was pretty crappy back them.
When my son and I were dove hunting we came across the same type of watering device and there was an owl who unfortunately wasn't able to get itself out.
Congrats on a mighty fine hunt! Other than the cheesecake morning after episode. :whistle:
I assume those are the "Black Hole" mountains in the background. :unsure:
Congrats on a great bull.
Who would have thought it was possible to kill an elk with a 120 year old cartridge that doesn't have the word Creedmoor after it. ;)
