That would be Clio, just north of the murdering Capitol "Flint". The famous Saginaw Bay and Saginaw River only minutes away. Later KR

Big Ice, that is a great first bull for your son. Had to be an unbelievable experience, even the 4 mile pack out. Icemonster, what was the altitude that ram was shot at? Looks like you are on top of the world! Great pics!

This is a great place to post this info, right here with our trophy shots. A few days ago, the WY House passed a bill 28-1 to allow bow-hunters to carry a defensive sidearm. Today, that bill was debated in committee in the Senate. If passed, I was told, it will allow us considerably more protection while bow-hunting in grizzly/black bear/wolf/cougar habitat. I also heard that it had been "slightly amended". I'm not certain what that means, but I'm posting all the info I have. Comments or more info, if anyone has it, would be much appreciated by all us ice-fishing bow-hunters.
When I called the legislature to voice my opinion, the lady who took my info inquired whether I carried pepper spray. I answered with a story: While hiking in the Wind RIver Range, I was approached by a granola eating tree hugger, who pointed to my S&W .357 magnum and the pepper spray hanging beside it on my belt.
"Soooo," he whined, "what's the weapon of choice?" My response was simple,
"That's a decision that's made by the bear."

Enough said...LT out laters

Thanks for the comments Guy's. That Ram was taken about 100' from the top of Ramshorn Peak on a solo trip. The hardest thing I have ever done.
By the way LT, the amendment probably limits us to 22LR. $:-\$

LT · « **Reply #82 on:** Feb 09, 2007, 07:40 PM »

Sheesh! I guess that's better than nothin...glad I bought that .22L S&W auto bull-barrel...just not much help against a grizz...

That would be pointless

But I do see your.......way of thinking! Icemonster

Well, according to the Casper newspaper, the "addendum" is that G&F personnel will be "able to test a carcass" to determine whether the animal was taken with a firearm...I've been in favor of that for years, the law never really addressed the problem except indirectly. Many times as I've bowhunted, I've never considerend shooting a deer with my sidearm and toting it out of the woods bragging it was an archery kill.
Also, I know many several outfitters and a bevy of hunters who've been chased off of elk-kills while bowhunting. Think about it guys, if I archery-shot an elk say...up above Grannier Meadows where I know there's a big black bear (and there is, everybody's seen him) I can't defend that carcass if he decides he wants to claim a hindquarter while I'm in the process of toting it back to my pickup. NO GUNS...not even after the archery kill!

Bottom line...hunter decides to take an elk illegally during bow season, there ain't a statute in the state that's gonna change that notion, he's gonna catch that animal in the headlights or night-scope and take it no matter what.

I understand this post may offend some purist bowhunters and I do not mean to do that. Every hunter is entitled to his own set of ethics, some set their standards a lil differently-not "better or higher" than others, just differently. Long as that firearm never comes out of the holster except in self-defense of a predator, I fail to see the problem.

those are some nice looking trophies u guys got i would have to say my favorite was that stringer full of walleyes on the front page tho keep up the good work 8)

Big Ice's picture of the two walleye is awesome. Getting good shots of your trophies is definitely an art and Big Ice has it down pat. Great shots!

Ocean Eyes · « **Reply #88 on:** Feb 10, 2007, 12:24 PM »

I totally agree with you Don, I'm an avid bowhunter for the past 24 yrs and I value my safety and life more than a hungry predator. Right or Wrong, when I'm in griz country I always carry a side arm and pepper spray. I carry it in the open and been lucky so far with not being checked. I hope this gets passed, the ones who poached will always be poachers no matter what laws are in effect. You're right about grannier meadows and big black bears. I been bowhunting that area for bears and there's a brute in there that hasn't messesd up yet (he will). I shot an old dry sow (she was 17 yrs old) two years ago up there. She was the fiftenth different bear I saw in two years at that bait stand.

Man, there has been some awesome photo's in this thread. Keep them coming guys. Here's a pic of the Old Sow I killed not to far from Grannier Meadows!

Whoa! KR, nice bear man! Now here's the big Q...did you eat any of the meat? I killed a Fall-bear in Big Sandy a few years ago, it had been robbing the backpackers food stashes at night. When we cut him open, I split the stomach and it was full of un-digested marshmallows, cellophane, candy-wrappers and aluminum foil...talk about sweet meat, oh yeah. Some hunters I've talked to have told me you can hardly stand to cook the meat on a spring bear though.

so 1. what's your thoughts on that and 2. would you entertain the notion of schooling an old hunter in bear-baiting? Gongrats on the bear, buddy.

Don
(ps, By the way, KR, I naturally assumed G&F guys had been doing swab-tests on archery-kills long before NOW! But to think they needed a special law enabling them to do so seems to presume that just because there was a no-firearms provision in the old law, that the poachers were not actually shooting animals with guns anyway.)
