MULEPACKHUNTER

2 piggies for us. I am helping you turkey guys by not putting in since i know zero about turkey hunts. I still by the OTC every year and see them during my deer hunts but I am always too dang tired to want to go after them. LOL

That says it all right there, you didnt even see the post????? I read the post and I dont see any attack whatsoever just opinions and very mild mannered opinions.

Yup just when I said they would. 2 piggies for us.

I am going to work up some loads for a larger bullet for next year. My daughter is going to use the 223 for pig this year which will be perfect. I just don't feel good about the 55 gen. 85 grn out of the 243 makes me feel better. Thanks guys.

Nice. I think that's the first deer pick I've seen with an ar platform.

Me and my daughter both have hits. Awesome. Wish I knew which picks.

Lol. 243 it is mainly like you said to extend my range a bit.

I know it will kill and I shoot this bolt .223 lights out at 200 yrds like seriously dime size group at 200 by my 243 is a close second. Main thing is my .223 fits in my scabard. Lol. I don't know for sure I am leaning 243 by I may end up posting a .223 monster coues down next week.

You guys have fun with opening weekend. I will be throwing the mules in the trailer Monday morning after work. Good luck. Leave a spike for me if you can.

Sweet nice job. Great adventure. Congrats on another great life story.

Ha ha ha he should have put a tarp over it. Lol

Someone's been watching too many survival shows. Lol

Great gun right there. I have a few I collect but not as slick as that one. One of my favorite things to do is iron site shooting. My dad hadn't shot in 10 years and I took him out with a few 45/70 levers and dammed if he didn't bull a shoot and see at 200 on his first shot. He put it away and said he was done for the day. Lol great memory. I also love ar15 irons at 300. Its a blast to see how well you can group. I hope to tag something someday with my 30/30

Been completely off track last 2 weeks but luckily not weight gain. I am on a new work schedule and have been very busy with hunts and packing the mules. Next 3 weeks are solids hunts minus 3 more 13 hour sshifts. I have a gola of running more miles than my the mules get this week.

I know on my property regular treatment schedule is the way to go. I still have a few bugs here and there but hardly noticeable. I do weed control myself 2 times a year and we just have terminex come out every other month and do the whole property. We never spray in the house and we never have anything alive inside. Luckily we talked the few owners around us to do something similar and that makes a difference as well. If no one around you does anything they will migrate. Birds are an underutilized asset too I throw a lot of seed out in the summer and always have tons of birds and I see a difference in fly's and critters.

Happy bday

Plus 1 on the magnet style anyone have one? I looked but too much cash. I just shoot the legs off my neighbors for now. Lol

Independent write in candidate Brian Scott bailey is an honest responsible like minded individual whom I have been best friends with for 30 plus years. With a strong family background and current military employment he will be getting my vote hands down. Godfather to my kids and executor to my estate should I pass from this world. Brian is hands down the best person for this job. Brian will be accompanying me on an upcoming coues backpack mule pack hunt and we will be discussing the current state of his campaign for governor of the great state of Arizona. Hopefully with him having to leave early for his acceptance speech. If you are on the fence at all or in a lot of cases just don't plan to vote take a look at Brian you won't be sorry.

Very cool. I had the same issue I couldn't find em in my scope before they ran off. Lol

Great job putting down the hard work. Love to see it pay off. I am dying to get out next week with my pack on. Reading this fires me up even more. I'm thinking I will hit some even deeper holes this trip. Congrats on an epic few seasons.

Man what a beauty

That's the kelty I have as well and love it.

(From Chuck Hawks) 100.00 to 200.00 at Midway USA Or if you have 600.00 to spend the Oehlers is back on the market. Accurate Shooter has a write up on it. We are all suckers for numbers, to a certain extent. We tend to believe a number once it is published, not wanting to consider how accurate it is, or may be. Our economy hinges on numbers, even though trade reports and surveys are continually changed, revised, and updated. That's just the human condition. We will accept a "light transmission" number for a scope, but our scope never does have the stated values, exactly. It really can't. Whether odometer, tachometer, speedometer, Nielsen ratings, "studies" that tell us that coffee is good for us (or bad), consumer confidence reports, ballistic coefficients and, yes, catalog muzzle velocities, we all like to take comfort that "the number" we have is absolute. Just as a choke tube that is marked "modified" means no particular pattern percentage at all, stated velocities all too often are just that: stated, not the same as the results we obtain in our unique environment, using our unique rifles. Too often, you'll hear where other people want someone else to tell them what velocities to expect out of their rifle. Perhaps even sillier yet, folks will often bicker because their chrono out of their rifle says one number, but the other fellow's number is 50 or 75 fps different. Well, it should be. Even assuming that rifles, lots of powder, primers, and so forth are all absolutely identical, which they clearly are not, various models of chronographs themselves may vary by up to about 8%. Crude, cheap old chrony's tend to clock slower as time goes by. Temperature and altitude changes things. Temperature of barrel, powder, primer, and lighting balance of the sensors introduces variables in velocity. Spacing of the sensors affects chronograph accuracy, as can cell phone transmissions and high tension lines. As Dr. Ken Oehler has mentioned to me, we never do know exactly what part of the bullet a sensor sees when it is tripped, front, back, or somewhere in the middle. With Dr. Oehler's units leaving the consumer chronograph market, the best chronograph available to the consumer is the subject of this review: the CED Millennium Chronograph. The CED Millennium, sometimes known as "the talking chronograph," has an unparalleled feature set. It is endorsed by IPSC for official use, and it is the official chronograph for more USPSA / IPSC championships than any other chronograph available today. Rather than a LCD readout built into the box on the lower-end chronographs, the CED has a very large, remote LCD unit that attaches to the sensors by the supplied 20 ft. of shielded cable. You'll never destroy the LCD of the CED, because you are never shooting at it. Setting up the CED is easy. The "brains" are in the LCD box, powered by a 9V battery. The large LCD screen folds flat for packing making this unit effortless to transport. The remote sensors plug into the ends of a folding bar ("the two foot bracket") that attaches to any standard tripod. The set-up is simple. Just screw the bar onto a standard tripod (I use a Slik tripod, but any medium to heavy-duty tripod works well). I've been using this unit so much that I just leave the bar permanently attached to the tripod. The sensors plug into each end, and the side rails and diffuser screens slide right on. The first sensor's jack is plugged into the "start" jack on the main unit; the second sensor's jack goes into the "stop" jack. Press the "ON" button on the tactile keypad, and you are good to go. The CED holds 220 shots in memory, into one string or up to 20 strings as you prefer. Highest velocity, lowest velocity, average velocity, standard deviation, and extreme spread are all recorded for you. PC software is included, so you can upload your data when you get back from the range for analysis and printing via serial port. There is a HP IR output included as well, but Hewlett-Packard has essentially obsoleted their own port-it will work with the old H-P thermal printers, though. The CED records velocities from 50 to 5000 fps, recommended temperature operating range is 32 to 122 degrees F, but it should operate down to zero. The Millennium CED has been tested vs. Doppler radar lab equipment, and was found to be within 99.8% of lab radar. There is an infra-red lighting kit option available as well, if you need to shoot indoors or in the middle of the night. What the CED Millennium offers is the best consumer chronograph on the market today, by a substantial margin. You won't find Dr. Oehler disagreeing. If you are serious about reloading, load development, muzzleloading, and want to have the best idea of what your firearms are really doing, you can't do better than the CED Millennium. Right now, it is not just "an option," but the only real option in quality consumer chronographs. I have seven or so chronographs I've used over the years, but for the foreseeable future everything is going through CED's. I've been using two of them for most every range session these days and cannot recommend them highly enough.

I had quarters hanging last night on my porch. I put them in coolers during the day the hang em out back at night all week. Processing on monday then into the freezer. I have seen a few camps still that hang em. Mostly on late hunts. We saw a lot of hangers in unit 8 on a cow hunt. The guys I was with on that hunt brought it back whole and after 3 broken branches wenches it up and dressed it in camp then let it hang.

Very cool. Just a few more weeks and I get to go out with my dad. Can't wait. Congrats.
