I like the small shed! Ive always hoped to find one small enough for a key chain.

308 have you had a chance to shoot any of Bergers 300gr .338's? I should get back over to LRH and read up on em I suppose.

Thats where ultra high BC's come into play. The biggest hot rod mags around can't carry energy at long distance with out bullets that "slip" through the air. I haven't ran the numbers in a while but BC's have a HUGE effect on kinetic energy levels the farther you are shooting. If I remember right (i may be mistaken, i dont have charts or balstic software at work) my 300RUM (loaded faitly hot) shooting 180gr Accubonds (a pretty high BC and fairly heavy for .30cal) is running into minimum bullet expansion velocities short of 900yd.

Looks good. It looks like you opted for the spray on velvet. How does it look in person? I'm hoping decide to try and keep original or go spray on before I arrow a wallhanger.

My dad found a 180gr accubond in the dirt after a complete pass through on a coues, thats the only accubond Ive ever recovered. It looked just like the comercials say it should. I have my 243 100gr core-lokt from my cow thats 14 years old. It does look like the deadliest mushroom in the woods. Ill see if I cant find it.

Protecting a Video Cam
youngbuck replied to lucky2hunt's topic in Photography of Coues Deer and Other Wildlife
This may be overkill bbut I saw them do it on Deadliest Catch. They had pelican cases that they drilled holes in for the lense and siliconed a piece of acrylic or poly to see out of. For the controlls then siliconed heavy duty waterproof gloves pointing into the case so they could control the camera. -

Great American Deer Raffle!
youngbuck replied to CouesWhitetail's topic in Conservation Group Events
Thanks for the heads up Amanda, just bought some tickets. -
When I was younger I prefered to have a hunting buddy, my dad, family or friends. Now we all try to put in seperate. That way we all get to go hunting every year. We usually get to go on an early archery bull hunt and a Dec WT hunt. There are plenty of Oct or Nov tags to fill the time between. Occasionaly we will have issues with people drawing different units at the same time, but we try to avoid that on our apps. I get a lot of joy out of glassing and packing animals wether they are mine or a friend's. If you want an Oct WT hunt, it shouldn't hurt you, but its all chance.

K well Ive been thinking more and more about the claw. Right now I have 2 700rc2 heads, and alot of my buddies use them too. Every optic/camera/camcorder I have has a plate that will fit that. If I buy a larger head to accomodate the claw I would like to keep the same plate style. This points me to the 701rc2. Anybody tried this head with the claw. I always prefer to shoot prone off my harris for long stuff, but I would be getting the claw just as much for me, as my buddies who don't like to shoot prone.

I havent gotten any new goodies for my bow in the last few years. I do shoot a 7dp. I like it alot. Thin wall ring around it, small level and fine pins. Its hard enough w/ 7 pins in there all the shaving off the stuff helps

Scents, Licks & Minerals
youngbuck replied to Santana Outdoors's topic in Miscellaneous Items related to Coues Deer
Ive tried alot of different things. The two things that matter the most are location and effort. Find a good spot where the deer will find it fairly easily. Make sure the deer are there the time of the year you want them to be. Dont let it dry up, make sure they always have what they what, where they want it. -
Boycott "Los Suns"
youngbuck replied to mr.smith's topic in Political Discussions related to hunting
I watched the game too, I dont know the last time I havent watched a play off game. I do miss a few games during the season but catch most I miss on Tivo later. It will take more than some misguided PR/political stunts to keep me from watching. It still makes me mad that some of the team and Sarver needed to make a stand against some legislature that this state needs. If they want to make a judgement then they should see both sides. I say the NBA Cares does a bit to clean up the border on the US side. Those big guys could haul a lot of trash. -
That was one of the best Jib Jabs yet! Doug's grin is almost spooky real when hes dancing. Im surprised Lark hasn't showed up in one fo these yet.

Hoover, Truman, Eisenhower
youngbuck replied to Non-Typical Solutions's topic in Political Discussions related to hunting
Truman was the only Dem in the bunch. Obama will never ship em out. If you want them out you'll need to vote for another change. I didnt know too much about it either. Anybody know if any of these guys worked for stricter border controll. I know it was a much different time then, but I've never looked into past border controll efforts. -

Boycott "Los Suns"
youngbuck replied to mr.smith's topic in Political Discussions related to hunting
Ive been a diehard Suns fan ever since I was old enough to understand the concept of the the game. It would be so much better financially and PR wise for the Suns to take a neutral stand whether they like 1070 or not. People are going to buy Suns merchandise and watch the games because they are good and fun to watch. All they are going to do now is leave a bad taste in the mouths of lifelong fans like me. I still wont miss very many suns games but it still irks me. -
Discount usually will match prices. Say tire rack is 100 per tire and shipping is 15, Discount will match 115. If you find somewhere locally they will match the price w/o the shipping. I usually look at 4wheelparts and have discount match their prices.

A 10lb .338 is pretty light. I'm guessing you arent using some 50mm objective and 30mm tube then. That looks like the ultimate carry anywhere do anything type rifle. The reasons for me building a longer range rifle than what I use now is to minimize variables and maximize predictibility. A 338 bucks the wind very well and the edge is very drop predictable. Now if I could only win the lottery and draw more often I'd be set. For the record I like archery hunting as much as I like rifle hunting. Being in the hills is always than workin.

Tell us about your favorite movies
youngbuck replied to Ernesto C's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
couple more that arent westerns I like; Slingblade, Fracture, Mr. Brooks -
Ive looked into a lot of 338 variations, allen express, edge, and my 338 winmag. From the numbers i was crunching, my 300 RUM runs outa steam pretty quick (8-900), Im comfortable shooting that to about 800 under perfect conditions. Ive chosen on the edge built by shawn after talking with him and 308. The Allen express or snipetacs are neat and Im sure can shoot but I think everything they can do, an edge could do. Im all for hot rod calibers and those are about as hot rod as you can get. The thing that sold me on the edge was the reloading for it. Shawn has loads with EXTREMELY low velocity spreads. those low spread help a lot down range 1k+ on calculating drop. The 338 I would like to build would be a truck/or quad gun. It would be heavy maybe 14lb but my lightweight RUM could still go anywhere and shoot a long ways. I know of guys with 20lb+ lapua guns. I like the bullet choice in 30 cal but 338 are somewhat limited. Im a huge fan of accubond repeatability in how they fly and what they do at 5-800 yeard on coues. Ive been slowly saving for an edge build, same way I did for my RUM. This might take me a little longer. Good thing is in this day in age its not all hear say. People can prove what they can do with their rifle. There are alot of proof for shawn and kirbys ultra long range rifle, and plenty of reading material to keep me busy in the mean time.

Looking to get a gun for my daughter
youngbuck replied to WOODSAZ's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I was shy of 25-06 and a .270 around 10. I think I was 12 before I started to want shoot either. I shot em befor but didnt like em. I used a 243 alot, and it doesnt have a recoil pad. Id say .243 and a simms VL or the remignton (same thing) pad and youl be fine. I shot coues muleys and elk with the 243 -
Im guesing RH? I could use a LH

I forgot about Grong's and Scottyboy's, I guess they have had some pretty "tame" ones for a while.
