Everything Ive read has said most hmrs are pretty finicky and like to shoot a certain try of ammo. Well i ordered up probably 4 types for mine and they were right only one grouped up worth a dang. Its fine tho cuz i can shoot a dime at 100 yards most times. Mine likes the 17 gr vmax by hornady. Not the remingtons or any 20grners. I have almost full boxes one each of (read three in total) remington 17gr vmax. Winchester 17 gr V-max and Federal 17gr speer TNT. You can have em if you want. Im never gonna use em. If your rig just so happens to like the hornady branded vmax like mine midsouthshooterssupply.com has em (when in stock) for 9.99. Thats a steal. I cant believe they sell it for that. Anyways I'll be driving up through payson this friday at 7pm if you wanna meet me somewhere. PM me if you need to

Love walking into that store. It must be the most $/sf for merchandise besides a jewelry store. That bag sounds alot like a Butler. I cant say enough good things about the havalon knives. Mine did 2 bears this month with the same blade. Always get 1st class help too!

Im buyin a house so the toys gotta go (besides glasses and guns of course) so the first to go is my 04 YZ250F. Bike runs great usually starts on first kick, even if its sat for a few weeks. It still has its original front tire, and its on its 3rd rear. Its pretty new id say 90%. It is bone stock, no racing, ever. It has a pro-moto billet kickstand. These are the ones that stay up and wont turn the bike into a pogo stick. Im askin 2500 Im also sellin a proto matrix PM7 limited edition color run in oil slick. Thhis is the one with the ultralight frame on it from the factory. The marker has about 1 case of paint through it. It is in perfect contidion, not one nick or scratch on it. The barrel has marks from threading it into the marker. It has the original box, lube, tools, and barrel. I'm askin 350 for the marker. Im also sellin a empire 56cc/4500psi tank for it. It has always had a cover on it and is in perfect condition too. It comes with a neoprene tank cover and an aluminum fill cap. I'm askin 150 for that. If you want th marker and tank we can make a deal.

canned bush's baked beans, canned whole kernal corn, and canned beenie weenies. All with a pop top lid. They stay good for a long time and taste good. People gimme trash about haulin corn to eat, but most eventually catch on and haul it next time out. It gives me enough sugar and it isn't a candy bar. I also haul chef boy-r-D raviolis and lasagna. They are really good. I usually haul granola bars and oatmeal cream pies too. I eat constantly when i am hunting.

I looked into it a few years back before I opted for the TDS. I believe there is 3 or 4 settings, for your zeros, along the vertical axis. More like a bowsight that you have to sight in at yardages than a fixed reticle. It is changable if you decide to change loads or aiming points. I didnt like it because it seemed too complicated, wich means more to break. It would also take alot of shooting to sight in. Im sure Ive shot that much with my TDS to get drop figured pretty accurately though. I'm happy with the TDS but it is prolly going back to swaro for the BR reticle. IMHO if i could do it all over again I'd opt for the turrets. At the time I thought Id screw them up by not resetting the zero. I dont believe they are windage adjustible for multiple setting, just drop. I dont think that would work too well in multiple barrels.

Turrets are tailored to your load or factory loads. You can check out www.kentonindustries.com for info.

Ive looked through shepards before. I never thought they would work very good for me. The body of a coues is alot smaller than the body of elk. But, have never looked at a coues or an elk through a shepard. I wanna range it every time to. Helps me think about winddrift. On a plus note I have seen some big coues taken with a shepard scope used. Cabelas at one time had a reticle to this. Not sure if they still do. I think it was in their Alaskan guide 30mm line.

Well I am just dandy with the old RCBS press for my rifle ammo. My dad want to get something a little faster for lots of handgun stuff. He shoots alot of 45acp 38sp .357 and would shoot more 44mag if it was affordable. I really want a 10mm and this would allow me to shoot it affordably. He has done a ton of research, and talked to guys on his forums. He is about decided on the Hornady lock and load AP over the Dillon. Has anyone used either or both that could share some info on likes and dislikes. One bonus with the Hornandy is 1000 free bullets.

What weird stuff have you glassed or happen well glassing for game?
youngbuck replied to seek100plus's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
I was glassing for deer in archery deer season and glassed up a really nice bull pushin some cows. My bow was in the truck and i watched the bull for probably 10 minutes. I looked up and there was a bear about 30 yards from me. I wish i woulda had my bow sittin next to me. I was glassin from the road and didnt think I would need it. Neatest thing to watch was maybe a b=moutain lion i walked my buddy into in one of the 36's a few years ago. I got to watch the lion pick its way through the hillside covered in prickly pears. He would leap over big patches easily. Realy cool to watch. I got about 30 minutes of a show. -
*HELP ME SCORE THIS BULL* @ i added a few pics for the skeptics
youngbuck replied to justahunter's topic in Elk Hunting
I've heard about this bull, I was hopin trail cam pics would surface. Monster no matter what the tape says, I love trash and crows feet and devil points. Great lookin bull. I hope to see trophy photos of him -
He should still grow. I noticed about an inch of growth on most points from begining of august till the end of my biggest regular buck on cams last year

I drew a jr elk hunt at 10. Put in for deer as often as I could as a jr, drew it a few times. I also put in for jr javies untill i got a bow worth shooting. I think Jr hunts are great as long as draw odds are good. Kids are less likey to want to go out and bust their butt hunting hard if they like the couch so much. I remember taggin along gettin my but walked in the dirt huntin with my family when I was younger. I could have been happier gettin beat up and worn down. I also agree with Lark about the senior elk tag. My grandpa was fourtunate enough to draw a rifle tag 2 years ago when he was 84, I think. I think that will not only be one of my most memorable hunts, but fondest memories in my years to come. I will never forget that. I wish it was easier for more people to have that expierience. Make it a once in a lifetime draw for hunters over 70 or 75. How many tags would it take a year?

DID ANYBODY SEE THIS?
youngbuck replied to Redman's topic in Political Discussions related to hunting
I think the whole problem with this is the airsoft gun. While it is airsoft they do look pretty legit. Its unfortunate that the public is so afraid of guns. In Idaho a few years back we went into a resturaunt after a morning hunt and the guy we were with told me to bring my rifle in. I was thinking heck no the people will think we are crazy. The waitress looked at us, and then turned and finished doing what she was doing, and said "guns in the corner boys" So we set our rifles next to a few already there. I thought that was pretty cool at 14 years old. I wish most people had the same outlook. Its too bad he was charged -
How to stop (or decrease) trail camera theft.
youngbuck replied to SilentButDeadly's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
Id rather use skunk extract or something like that, but I would settle for blue paint. Wait.....maybe mace, yep mace it is! Not only would he be worthless for a while he would have heck tryin to walk out -
form looks ok, Maybe if ya did yer mounth kinda this, those groups would tighten up

How to stop (or decrease) trail camera theft.
youngbuck replied to SilentButDeadly's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
I hate to say it but, the first guy thats gets taught a lesson for stealin a camera will probably help the situation. Its just a matter of time before someone walks up on a guy pryin his camera off the tree. Odds are the guy whos camera it is will have had at least one stolen before. If I got my arse thumped in the woods by a hunter for tryin to steal a cam (but im not a theif) I'd think twice before I did it again, and I'd tell my theivin buddies (if i had any) to think twice too. Its a shame that people cant just leave a note on the camera if they want to look at the pics. I have a business card waterproofed in tape I can leave if I wanna talk to the guy with the camera. He can call me back or not, Im not about to steal the thing. I never understood stupidity I guess. A theif is stealin from a guy who frequents the area who owns guns. Stoooopid! Just like when my dads truck got keyed while we were in CASWELLS shooting range. People who go there enter and generaly leave with handguns. -
I would love another camo youth 20ga 870. I got rid of mine and regretted it ever since I really really want to see a 10mm XD, but it wont happen soon if ever so im content w/ my XD45C I would also like a FNH fiveseven Always wanted an AR set up for yotes but its a little pricey and i wouldnt use it very often I really want a 204 but its inbetween my 17HMR and my 223WSSM and is im gonna spend money and time on loading centerfire cartriges i might as well use my 223wssm I finally bought my dad a win model 94 trapper and got a williams sight and fiber optic bead thats pretty slick and a blast to shoot. The Judge is a hoot by the way, my buddy has one with him all the time. I wish it was the 3 inch version though. Seems like there are more offerings in buckshot in the 3" cartridge

I do the same as RR but I try and get some butcher paper to cover the cardboard at the range. It makes it alot easier to see where I'm hitting if I'm off the small paper target.

I'd like to start a debate.....about points....
youngbuck replied to Coues 'n' Sheep's topic in The Campfire
I would really like to see water displacement scores. For elk maybe a displacement measurement and a spread. How do they do displacement measurements? I would imagine a large water tank, but how accurate could that be with a tank big enough for an elk, especially if the skull plate can't be broken in two? -
I'd like to start a debate.....about points....
youngbuck replied to Coues 'n' Sheep's topic in The Campfire
I think the wole problem is that there are whitetails out west. If you shot an eastern WT back east you might call it a 3pt and the hunter who regularaly hunt there would give ya a hard time about it really being a 8 pt. If they came hear and shot an "8 piont" coues you would give them a hard time. I guess a 3 pt should always have brows so I would think that is implied. A forkie may or may not have eyeguards. I always specifiy forkie with eye guards but when I say 2 point it generally means no eye guards. If isnt a symetrical rack i say 3 by 4. It is kinda strange we have had a difference in clarification for so long. Im surprised it isnt the same all over the US with all the hunting on TV now. I suppose I should start saying 8 point, but im not gonna. Im gonna be weirdo to all those yankees and keep the point counts to where I can keep em on one hand
