I always wanted to try a Mueler scope on a good rimfire. My hmr came w/ a scope but i was thinkin bout a Mueler if i didnt get a scope with it. The guys over at rimfire central rave about em.

I started with one wildview a few years ago. Now i have 3 cheap wild views.One 4mp wildview and a predasesor to the covert I. If i had the extra money layin around id think about the covert II. Ive been one of the lucky ones and never had a camera stolen. I know alot of buddies that have though. If you are starting out. I suggest the wildviews.

I've always wanted to do a 6.5stw or 270stw ar maybe a 270RUM. Then I dont wanna mess with the whole wildcat deal either. I never understood why winchester made their quarterbore a supershort instead of a regular WSM. Im even one of a few that likes the wssm cartridge. 264's are one heck of a cartridge. I know a guy on here that has one.

When I was younger I made a sign that said "hunter on stand". I used it one weekend archery hunting when I was on a tank that was on a 2 tracker road that went in between two more traveled roads. I took the sign down when I wasnt there. I was dropped off at the tank and only used it so I wouldnt get guys walking the tank looking for tracks. I knew guys were gonna drive by and some still walk around it. I was trying to just let people know some one was on the tank. The sign was as close to the water as it could be while still on the two tracker. I feel pretty bad when I walk up on a water hole underneath a guy in a treestand. The problem is when people abuse it, like having their sign up to "claim" his territory. Its wong to have a sign up when you aren't there. My sign worked, people drove by, but nobody with a dog came walkin around the tank or anything. My golden rule applies to all situations: Don't be a "Dipstick"

What is the Ideal Arrow and Broadhead Choice for Elk?
youngbuck replied to mulie hunter's topic in Bowhunting for Coues Deer
I use axis 340's w/ a 100gr montec. My bull was quartering away pretty hard @ 63 yards. The arrow entered behind the last rib, and the broadhead just barely broke the skin on the opposite shoulder. Good tough heavy arrow and a tough sharp broadhead is what i would suggest. -
Man with all these stud lope pictures im startin to get all heartbrogen again, 13 apps and no tags yet

Looks great, Love the recent hunts page. Still one of my fav photos

I do agree whitetails will eat dirt before lick a block. i use pellets and granuals most of the time, just water softener salt. Granuals soak in faster and they seem to like the pellets too. If i can, i use a combo of the two. I only use blocks for elk or if the spot is to far to get to regularly, just bacause the block will last a long time, especialy if no elk or cattle are hitting it. Some spots are weird, ive had spots that start out great and others that take a while. One of my best spots took over a year to get hit regularly.

What makes you think something like that ? Try unit 29 - A game and fish did a survey and stated 4 bucks to every doe. so they uped the tags this yr. The local ranchers wanted to know how g&f got this information - On the spring round-up they had 10 guys on horeseback for 5 days all over the back country. they seen a total of 2 does -- period ! Must not be anywhere ive seen in 29. Ive had days with 50+ does and a couple spikes all day long

Well i thought I couild help ya untill you said the calw. Bare minimum i would use a 700rc2 head. I have 2, lots of buddies have them too. I use 3 sets of legs, And always haul two, one video and one glassing. A manfroto 3001bn im 5-10 and its not tall enough unless I almost close the legs together. Great set of legs but they arent light. Ive had em for a long time. I recently got a slik 7014 set of legs recently. Lighter and taller and collapses smaller than the manfroto. Plenty tall for me standing up. I also have a lighter set that gets tall, just wont "kick out" I use those if im packin in way war and dont wanna haul 2 full sixe rigs. One of my buddies is probably 6-2 and just got a manfroto cx series thats super tall. It can be fully extended to way over my head and probably tall enough for you, barely. The problem with the whole set up is gonna be using the claw. THe 700Rc2 head isnt heavy enough i dont think. I know those guys recomend some heads for the claw. I dont think the jim white wouldnt do you much good either. THey are well built heads, im just no good with them. I would talk to the claw guys and see what they would recomend. Im sure they have used enough sets of legs and head to find a good combo that would work for you. Fluid head are very important for me. Absolutely necesary for me videoing something that moves. I think one of the benefits of the claw is to use a fluid head so you can follow something moving alot easier at longer ranges.

Y'all helped me choose a powder, now bullets?
youngbuck replied to king4wd's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I know alot of guys who have shot alot of bullets in the past few years and alost everyone I know has changed to accubonds. I started shooting them per RR's suggestion a few years ago and have seen great results. I know of balitic tips failing at long ranges, barnes not opening up at long ranges and a lot of other issues. I'm not saying accubonds never mess up, but i have never seen it. They have worked great for me, and alot of other people. The only bad thing ive ever heard is that they arent the cheapest and one guy couldn't get the .25 caliber to shoot well. I have some .25 110s to load up in a 25-06 to test that though. I would really like to try some bergers though. You might wanna wait for lark to chime in too. I know hes tried alot of different stuff, more so in a 270. -
I think thats a burnt up stump or part of the tree, it is in the same position in both pics. I dont think the second pic is a javi, but a 4 second difference would make me believe it to be the same animal. I cant believe no one agreed with kgaines. I think it could be a wolf. It looks a little small, but maybe its not a fully growed one. I have only seen one re introduced wolf in AZ but thats my guess

The way ive always look at it is that there are binos that i think are the best bang for the buck. For less that 300 i think the nikon monarchs are your best bet. I have a pair and lots of guys have been impressed with them for the price. For the next step up i think id save for the the vortex vipers or razors. I think they are the best at that price point. My buddy just bought a pair of 12x50 razors. He didnt have abunch of money to spend on neck glass and pack glass so he opted for the 12's. I was really impressed with them. The next step up is the famous "S" as GH put it. Some guys like the "L", im one of both i guess.

Man ive spent alot of time in the units you guys are talkin about seein these dogs and ive been luck enough to never run into em. I have always heard stories about but usually a group of three or so. Sounds like bad news, especially a group that big

I was driving from saguaro lake to payson on th 87 early tuesday morning and saw one single hen at mesquite wash. Thats the first low spot north of "cow rock". Ive seen birds a little higher elevation than this but in a different part of the state. I also know that these birds got loose from a ranch and reproduced. Has anyone else seen any turkers arund mesquite wash? I thought i was crazy but i got a good look and it was a turkey.

minimum caliber rifle for deer
youngbuck replied to BigBfever's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Im sure a 22WMR is a rimfire. I thought rimfires were illegal for turkeys but never looked into fall rules. Maybe i need to get a fall turkery tag for my 17HMR they say 17 magnum rimfires are legal -
Thats crazy. I wonder what the H-3 measurement is, if you scored him as a 3. is the 57 score a 2pt score with extra tine added in?
