Big or Bust

I'd say 4-5" now....

Rough morning here.....

I've got 3" at my house SW of Tucson near Three Pts in Diamond Bell and still coming down...

Indeed. I just watched the video in this thread for the first time as I didn't know it was there. Pretty clear....

Pretty cool....thanks for that.

Gotta be... Think I see a forked tine...grin...

Pretty cool. Wonder what was the deciding factor in that video that convinced him?

Before I posted I read his paper on hybrids actually for a refresher. Where the the glands located and what "biologists" looked at them? I'm not saying this deer is not a hybrid as I haven't seen it but the hybrid BS is sooooo overused erroneously. heck I've got acquaintences who glass up 10 hybrids a year....grin...

I know no details of either party involved in this drama. Does everyone know that hybrids are literally almost not found in the wild let alone get to the age this buck needed to be at to score 150"? In captivity, hybrids can barely be created and are all dinks. It happens in the wild, very rarely but the average dude that doesn't get out much calls any mule deer that doesn't fork a hybrid and any whitetail that does a hybrid. It's embarrassing.... Generally, hybrids are a way of explaining the things the average Joe doesn't get to see or experience or are very rare because they don't get out enough, in my experiences.

Do you seriously think does didn't or aren't going to get bred just because you experienced poor rutting at your locations/timing? I hope your last few posts are in jest...

You're fired....grin...

I read your post just fine there bud. You are separating the issues (them wanting to take away the magazine capacity, types of rifles, etc. when it's just a tool to get their foot in the door to take it all). It's the same issue. Don't give an inch. This is a non-negotiable issue on any point IMO.

How are you gonna hunt if can't own/use certain guns? You got the order reversed...

Hey guys - I have a 15-45x60 ED Theron Saker straight spotting scope for sale. It is in great used condition. Objective side has one small surficial scratch (pictured in photos) that doesn't impact the view. Great scope for the money. Case included. $150 shipped. First I'll take it gets it. Tucson area.

Sold...

Bipod is sold.

I have for sale a very lightly used swiveling Harris bipod, 12-25", Model S 25C that mounts to front stud. The only imperfections are slight finish rubs on the bottom which would be covered when mounted to rifle. Great bipod. This is an extra. $100. Tucson area.

Just filled my freezer up at my brothers place in Texas. Insane the amount of deer there. Every time I go I am blown away. Anyways, wanted to post this as I bet some of you guys are looking for meat. He has a few does hunts with cull bucks a very real possibility (see picture below) if anyone is looking for meat on a budget and a cool experience seeing boatloads of deer. Great for kids. This will be for like 5 deer a person and any hogs you see and maybe one of the 5 deer is a cull buck. Bring the ice chests! Here some pictures of what I was looking at all weekend. Just a very small sample. Call him at 325-347-7679 if interested.

If you are in those units and haven't seen any javelina in that timeframe you are doing things way wrong. They are literally everywhere. Find a cholla, prickly pear, ocotillo, and mixed desert scrub south or east facing slope, glass it from 8-11 and pigs will likely be on it. Rinse and repeat.

I installed a stove jack in my Kodiak too... Very very easy.... I also use a propane stove vented out the top. Peace of mind.

Please call him for costs and what you want to do.....

I'd shoot the barrel out and rechamber... Personally, I'm over anything that needs fireforming or doesn't say Norma, Nosler, Lapua, or Alpha on the casehead.... The 6.5 and 7mm bullet race is awesome. Can't go wrong with either... I shoot a .280 Ackley of it matters. If doing it, throat for the 175 eldx/180eldm...

I won't post publicly as it is not public info but it was an accident.... Super super kid. Hard working as anyone. Can't speak more highly of him. If you've dropped meat off at WGP in the last few years, he was the one receiving probably.

Correct. Great, super kid too. A true tragedy....
