First off I was the first person to use the word contrarian on this website. Secondly, my hose has been running for an hour I got 290 gallons now, come at me

Not sure why someone would be a dick to a liberal who wants to buy a gun, take the opportunity to convert them. I can also get 275 gallons of water by turning on my hose

I’d pry react different. Take this opportunity to try and convert him. Some times it’s a lost cause (you can judge a book by its cover) but if you think he’s up for a rational conversation then I’d help him. Even if he doesn’t buy a gun then at least he might have a new found respect for a gun owner. One at a time is better than none.

Managed to get out for a half day and get back in the mix..missed 2 more and spotted 3 more but they were on the move...Just nice getting away from the crazies!!

I'm sure they would love to see us turn against each other.

i started getting a sore throat sunday morning when i woke up, today horrible sore throat and chest soreness. thought i was a goner. tooks some cough drops, cough syrup, vitamin c. 5:30 and im ready to go to the bar for dinner. but i wont cuz i dont want to get anyone sick

Ok now Im mad! LA Fitness is closing down until the 1st. Now I got to lift weights in the garage. 1st World problems

Meanwhile...I'm booking a flight to Cabo and all-inclusive stay. Some fishing, some empty beaches, when it's my time to go then it's my time. 26th wedding anniversary for pennies on the dollar.

Just heard an old lady in the walmart parking lot got pushed down to the ground at her car and dude stole her toilet paper. Wish I could have been there to intervene. Fuggin people..

One thing that I like that might be a rebound result of this propaganda stunt is that it will give Trump a springboard to push border laws and bringing manufacturing/china jobs back to USA! We will never match china cheap but maybe we can become more self reliant and not at the mercy of other countries..........

Are houndsmen good fist fighters? I thought they were just guys that run dogs. The fact that some guys think hounds dropped, means that any animal within 5-10 miles of them is theirs is absurd. I have followed behind hounds multiple times and understand the pace. I also understand the chance you take when you drop those dogs and they cover 5 miles fairly quickly. No different than bumping a deer over a ridge and he gets shot by another deer hunter. Just because I saw you parked 3 miles away and a deer comes running toward me from your direction, doesn't mean I am going to give it a pass. Different story if they have an animal treed and you go shoot said animal before the guys get there.

Last year we talked to the son of the good outfitter. They own and lease ranches for cattle. They didn't have any openings but said we could hunt on a ranch they haven't had any hunters on before. Problem was there were no amenities, kind of lacking on roads in the area and 3/4 of the ranch his heavy timber so it lacked on glassing. For the price and they were only allowing 3 tags in the area it seemed worth it. When we got there it was pretty thick in alot of areas. Set camp up and we paid the rancher son to find a full time cook so we had awesome food the whole time. We stayed at the ranch hands house but stayed outside in tents. The first even seemed pretty depressing. Hard to glass and wind. Then wind all night and the next day. Ive hunted couse down in the 36s with wind before with no luck. But some of the open areas and lots of cold wind bucks were still on the move and we glassed up lots of deer. My hunting partner brought down an old hunting friend from Utah and has never hunted Coues before. So he was anxious for any respectable bucks. The deer were not really scared at all, never been hunted before, but we couldn't find any big guys, just 60-80" bucks. Right when we jumped in the truck to move on Scott spotted a buck that had some width and we jumped out. He was 160 yards off the road. Just stared at us. After about 25 mins of him and hawing if he wanted it (plus we shorten the hunt by one day, and when Scott came down form Utah he told us he made a mistake and his plane flight leaves on Sunday and not monday so 2 days lost. That gives us 3 days to hunt to fill 3 tags) So with that in his head he decided to shot it. 100 yards and he used my 280 AI 160 TMK ran 20 ft and died. The 160 TMK did its job almost a 4" hole and liquefied the heart. Funny how deer still run with no heart but it stills has some blood in the brain for a few seconds. NO exit but plenty of blood and vitals soup!! The next day the wind calm down. My buddy Kyle put a stalk on a really nice buck, while I watched from 900 yards. He got set up at 300 yards and I watched the deer jump, then a boom and watch it run off injured and around the mountain out of site.. Well that sucks. I guided them in to the spot where he hit the buck and they followed the blood trail After that I hiked down the road to start glassing. Spotted a little spike and then turn 90 degrees to start glassing and glassed up a doe in the open. I ranged her at 260 yards and got my gun out and ready for 260 yards just in case a buck come in. We already watched a big forky mount a doe so bucks are staying close to does. Put my gun in place and got ready. Kept glassing all the bushes and trees around her to find something. Then all of a sudden that spike comes down to her. Right then and there a nice buck jumps out to defend his women and scared the spike off. I thought to myself "oh crap this worked perfectly according to plan" It worked so good I didn't even take time to really break down the buck size and in my excitement jumped on my gun. Laid the gun on the berm and buck fever all over the place and shaking I shoot at 260 and miss!!! Crap!! He ran over 20 feet and stopped. This time I laid out on this slopped berm and really steady ( what a novel idea why didn't i do this in the first place). Put the cross hairs on and shot. Thud of a thuddd hit!!! I was alone so I jumped back on my binos to see where he went. Never moved dropped dead! Radio over to Scott and Kyle I got a buck down. They were excited! But kyle couldn't find his buck. So that sucked The 160 TMK did its job going 3060fps. Lances did his job with my loads, and shout out to Eric from Axis work on the 280AI. Broke the spine in half and liquefied the vitals. Holy crap this round is nice. Ruined some meat but gets the job done Here was my shooting position Some good food from our cook Our cook and we paid him 20 bucks each to clean and boil our heads, well worth it! The ranch hand. He showed us the ranch property and he kept spotting deer with his naked eye out to 500 yards and spotted deer 200 yards out in the shadows with his naked eye and we said your coming with us and tipped him for his services. Over all it was a fun hunt. Never saw any bucks over 95" but an area that has never been hunted I would of thought we would be passing up 90" bucks left and right looking for 105" bucks. Im sure they are there but we never saw them. Im sure if we dedicated a whole week we would of found some big boys but thats how it just how it happen this year. For the price it was still worth it for sure. No hunting pressure, no other hunters or anyone else even on this property. Food was awesome just a great hunt.

That was my favorite part. No other hunters. No trucks, quads or side by sides driving by. It’s fun when there is no pressure, lots of deer, lots of bucks to glass up daily.

Think of it like this for most practical hunting applications. You are just putting a piece of lead down range. The only difference is the weight of the piece of lead and speed. The cartridge the piece of lead comes from doesn't really matter. The difference in the energy one piece of lead creates over a difference piece of lead is very minimal between all the cartridges you are talking about. Now if you want to shoot 1000 yard competitions then there can be a difference. For shooting critters 700 yards and under you are just trying to drive yourself crazy........trust me I'm already crazy from debating this with myself. If you would like to join us we have a 12 step program that you can join. We have plenty of coffee and will discuss our issues.....
