I had a unit 1 tag yesterday. in the morn had a bird roosted thought it would be a sure thing. Got there 1 hour early set up a decoy that I normally don't do, Bird is hollering away on the roost. Comes down and goes other way. . I followed and chased and headed off. We played till 9;30 ,Got a few of his hens to come in but he would stay 100 yards out consistantly. We went up and down hills over a creek zig zag . was an educated bird ,One of the toughest I ever had. Finally he quit talking and game over. He kicked my butt. I was sore mid day.Afternoon got windy I just slept against a tree hoping one would come thru . Nothin. Half our before dark I decided to move and try to roost a bird for next day. Tried about 5 spots ,nothing. Then at the last place I went where I heard one the night before , One blasts off hundred yards out. I thaught thats my play for tommorow as it is getting dark. I got off the road and much to my surprize He's closing distance. I grab the gun ,get set up and sure as heck He keeps coming. At 35 yards boom ,1 shot with # 4 pheasant shot he was down . Still legal shooting lite ,but getting dark I didn't think he would come . It was 7: 10 or 7 :15 PM. So easy and it made up for all the hard work in the morning I did. Talked to 7 guys from 2 other camps and nobody killed. I feel this was a lucky one, but it came from being persistant and not giving up and working till last minute of day. Never give up hang in there. I have allways hunted birds all day. Killed a couple Mid day and as many at nite as in the Morn. But the Morn is the funnest I think. The rest of the day is working it. Pics to come in an hour ,gotta go get more ice rite now. Finally ahunting story from me instead of Bullcrap. LOL..........BOB!

The barrel was re-crowned and recessed; forearm hanger has been extended with the attachment repositioned straight up instead of angled back towards the action; scope rail has been modified to clear the action frame; it has a Kepplinger set trigger set at 3# and 1#; added Murray Leather butt stock 4 shell holder; forearm is fully glass bedded; stock and forearm are completely sealed with 5 coats of tung oil; Leupold 4.5-14 x 40mm 1" tube scope with Butler Creek covers; RCBS FL sizing dies; SKB hardcase; quality sling. The rifle is very accurate, I have 5 targets shot over the last few years to verify using Nosler 160 gr. Partitions. I have all the load data and drop tables for shooting out to 700 yds. Includes 440 pcs 8mm magnum brass (resized to 7mm) + 18 loaded rounds. Total value of the rifle with modifications and accessories is $2745.00. Asking $2000.00.

Mom would make one trip a month to Silver City for grocery shopping and if I had shelled enough pecans she would buy me two packs of these.........and I was set for another month....or maybe a week :)!

We didn't have a lot of hope this year due to my wife tearing her mcl and ACL 2 weeks before the hunt. After a miss on the first stand, we regrouped and moved about 500yds up the mountain. The box call brought this guy in strutting. He paused at 65yds and she let him have it. We were done before 630am.

Page 84 of the 2018-2019 regulations. Season was 7/1/18 till 3/31/19. New regs due out soon will likely be the same for the upcoming year. Don't hunt prarie dogs on the Buenos Aires refuge (black tailed dogs), do plan to go elsewhere in early July before the monsoons grow the grass too high to find the dogs.

Fortunately CW doesn't relegate sponsors to a section the members would never see. What would become of the sponsors if they couldn't talk to the members? Our CW turnout & referrals have been remarkable - again - so, lots of people appreciate it. We'll go away in a day - we only hit the campfire hard a couple/three times a year with hunting and shooting relevant information. Until then just skip to the threads you'd like to read. That'll make it just like any other day.

I am excited today as I got to spend some time in the pen with my new pup. "Clover" is a German wire-haired pointer like Rica was. I sense that good times, adventures and quail hunts lie ahead. The pups are five weeks old today, so it will be another three before the home schooling begins.

So I sent in a pair of old 8 power cascades which were like 14 years old and my highly loved Golden ring 10/17x42 switch powers to be fixed. Called in to pay $52 for the cascades and was broken hearted to hear they couldn't fix the golden rings and would offer me a pair of bx4 pro guides and I broken heartedly told him Id chew on what do do and call back. A couple minutes later he called me back and said he would hook me up! Hes replacing my cascades with a newer version of bx2 alpines that came out like two weeks ago and replacing my gold rings with a brand new pair of Santiam 15x56! I'm so freaking stoked!

I had one talking to me from a quarter mile away friday at first light. I got up Gobbler peak in the dark. He was closing fast and a few hundred yards down the hill when BOOM. someone had walked over the dam and shot the bird I was calling. Unit 1 still has plenty of birds even after the burn. Just less prime area to hunt them. Good job on the birds.

Awesome.
