i started one a while back it was just me and a couple of my friends in it its url is http://groups.myspace.com/coues. i never go to it and no body has ever joined

i'm only using 40g not 41 sorry, i checked by notebook, i also have to bump the shoulders back when i resize

I have and reload a 223 wssm right now i'm getting good groups w/ i think 41g of varget and a 55g v-max. They are almost all touching @ 100 untill my barrell gets too hot usually around 5 or 6 consecutive shots. From what i remember these loads aren't too hot compared to some of the others, not too sure im not around my books. I'm sure you could load hotter than that but for me, that load shoots really well. Ive never loaded any heavier bullets for anything bigger than yotes. The nosler and hornandy books have good info on the wssm's

ill be in 36A this weekend not sure where exactly. Probably be in a black chevy

well i read about the super conservation combo hunting licence a while back and looked into it. It has a hunting licence, archery deer, archery turkey, lion, and fall bear tags along with migratory bird, state waterfowl and kaibab stamp. I got the combo with the "super fishing", that consists of a fishing licence, urban licence, and trout stamp. all for 163, saves 50 bucks. I was wondering how many others are gonna/already went this route. I usually don't hunt kaibab but i have, and end up buying everything else eventually so i'm ahead of the game a little bit. THe only bad part is you have to get it at the G&F office.

great lookin lope. I was wonderin what loads you were shootin in the 223 wssm, I have had good results with a 55 gr V-max for yotes, and would like a heavier bullet for small to medium sized game.

i know federal has like 6 offerings for a 270wsm, other than that i was gonna load some 140 accubonds for a friend, i never did he just decided to buy the federals

i had a helicopter buzz my hunting group last year. They flew around us all morning untill they found us i guess. I was stalking a huge mulie with my bow, and the helicopter got as close as he could to the deer untill he ran him out of his bed. He later buzzed a few of the guys on a hilltop (who had rifle whitey tags). The helicopter got close enough to see that he was getting the "you're number one" sign. He kept flying around in the area for the next few hours. They believe that we are unintelligent and simple minded, but they are the ones harassing people who take pride in making great shots with high powered rifles. I might just be dumb but that doesn't seem like the best idea in the world.

i usually use the gunracks up front with my rifle in a soft case bungied on. Its easy to take on and off and keeps the dust off my gun. havent taken my new rifle, with a 26" barrel and muzzle break, on the quad yet. I havent thought of the length being a problem till now

i mounted a swaro 6-18x50 av series on a rem 700 300rum. i am using 2 part leupold bases and high leupold rings. the scope has a total of 3.9 ft elevation adjustment. at 100 yards the bullets hit about 9 inches bellow bulseye, thats at the max elevation adjustment. i know sometimes on rare occasions shims need to be made. i tore everything down and remounted it and shot it again with the same results. ive never had this problem and have mounted plenty of scopes. i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if you replaced bases or rings or made shims. -ryan

well i finnaly got it fixed. in took the rifle to the outdoorsman. they set it up on the boresighter. THey replaced the leopold rings and bases with brand new rings and bases, same model #'s. It was still way off for elevation. they then re-zeroed the scope to center and tried talley ring base combo (the ring and base is in one piece, one for the front and one for the back) part no. 950700. the height was adjusted 4 clicks and the windage 3 to bore sight it. i went to the range and my first shot was dead center 1.5 inches low, a made my adjustments and now i'm between about 2.5 and 3 inches hight at 100 (should be dead on at 300). I never had to move my windage knob. That should make the rest of the lines pretty close to 4, 5, 6, and 7. I am really impressed with the talley setup and am going to use their products on as many of my future rifles as i can. THanks for all the help guys. -Ryan

I am using the windage adjustment bases, its a 1 inch tube. i also checked to see if the scope was wearing anywhere, and it wasn't, i also looked at the rings and they weren't wearing anywhere oddly either. The scope has 188 elevation clicks (it actually has 210, i counted) and says a total of 3.9 feet adjustment, a little under two feet each way i am also thinking that for some reason my rifle may need a different bases. Thanks for all the help guys it just frustrates the heck out of me that i can't figure it out.-Ryan

Well some how i deleted my post to lark in trying to reply to arizona guide so ill try again. My rings need to be that high to clear the barrel, i tried the mediums first. I want too try and shim the back base, but then i think i am using Leupold and Swarovski and Reminginton products. Swaro and leupold are pretty darn good for manufacturing with low tollarances. Swaro and Leupold make there produsts so that i should not need shims. Remington should know a thing or two about low tollerences, i mean heck the build rifles. But i know very well that shi* happens. I am adjusting the elevation correctly, it started off 16-18 inches low and i corrected it to 9 inches low with max elevation adjustment. That was the first thing i thought of. The scope is mounted correctly in that the reticle is sitting correctly and not 90 deg. off. I have mounted 50+ mm scopes before with no problem. -Ryan

i saw this spotting scope in the aug/sept eastman's gear for the west. I was wondering how clear they are, or if anyone has used them, and what they thought of them. Looks like it would be nice for a light weight scope.

my asat is so tore up from cactus and catclaw i have to save it for special occasions. I havent seen it anywhere lately or id have some without so many holes. Lately Ive been wearing predator deception spring green. The green actually works really well in anyplace with prickly pears. I wear that mst of th time when im predator calling. I also steal my dad's cactuflage. its made in texas for the brush country but works great here, it has prickly pears and mesquite and yuccas on it.

the pic is a little blury, i had to zoom in but here is the best pc of this weekends outing

last dec. in 36a i glassed up a really big cat, seen alot of tracks, but only one kitty.

i drew that hunt for my third choice, tag number 8. I find it very hard to believe that only seven people put in for that hunt as a first or a second choice. i'm not complaning at all, i just find that odd. I thought the 1st and second choices were drawn at the same time, then the 3rd. if anyone knows how this is possible, or has an ideas please fill me in

they are back up

the link is gone now, i wonder what happened

my dad myself and lots of family got 36a early tags

i checked all day online and on the phone for the recording. Nothing; i figured three hunters, all seperate apps, 12 in total and no draws was very heart-breaking, and a little unlikely. I just called and spoke to a person, a live one. I asked for any pending charges from today from arizona game and fish(specificly any for 78.00). I had three @ 19.50. Looks like myself, dad and sister all got drawn, my dad and I put in for whities only, my sis had some mulie hunts and whities. point is, talk to a person, ask for pending charges

I have a pair of monarchs. I dont know if anyone makes any of these anymore, or anything like them. They are caled websters, Just a piece of milled alluminum plate w/ a 1/4-20 female thread on the bottom, a little foam on top and velcro straps that hold each tube, they would work on just about anything. THey work great on my monarchs, and anything that size, i use them alot for my zeiss classics. My dad bought them a long time ago, i think they were made in tucson. He told me they they stpped making them. Maybe some of the guys one here will know what happened to them.

I know there was some talk about some CouesWhitetail.com t-shirts and some low profile hats coming to the store in the future. I was wondering when we could expect them or if some more of the tan hats would be availaible

well thanks for the good news on the hats, and i hope everything goes well for the t-shirts
