    Surrender your tag. Here's your chance

    I do not agree with getting your BP back at all. Sounds like a really bad idea.

    Anyone seen this bull? 436" velvet

    My fingers are crossed for the Super Raffle too. I would LOVE a chance at a bull like this. With a 365 day/statewide opportunity, I would be thrilled with a 380" bull, let alone a 400+ bull. Amazing job to the guides, and congrats to the hunter. THAT is money well spent! If I had the cash, I would be doing a lot more hunting that I currently am.

    Creedmoor Guys

    Check the case heads for extractor marks, a slight swipe from bolt face across the lettering, a bulge in the case just above the head, flattened/cratered/pierced/missing primers, loose primer pockets (which could easily result in soot deposits around outside of primer), sticky bolt lift. I run two loads in my 6.5 SLR, which has basically the same case capacity as the .260 Rem, so a touch more than the Creedmoor, and I run 41.5 of H4350 @ 2812fps for my light target loads, and 43.0 of H4350 @ 2920fps for my hunting loads. What kind of velocity are you getting, and what is your barrel length? Here are a few tips. http://massreloading.com/reading_pressure_signs.html http://www.shootersforum.com/handloading-procedures-practices/58763-pressure-signs.html
  5. I just got through on the phone, still mid-winter results.

    Good Guy Buyer List

    your guy as the rest of us, maybe more guy than some. Don't think the gender matters on the list lol. "Good people selling list" from now on. And we'll call them folks that put out our fires "fire people" too. That's funny I was reading the thread and did see my name mentioned so I threw out the possibility with a totally smiling face that it was gender related. I totally apologize. I did not see it mentioned before this. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. You have been added to the "Good Guy list" with an asterisk (showing you are not a "guy", but a good buyer nonetheless).
  7. Dammit. Just checked, and the curser happened to be resting on the line where it said, "Fall......Draw Successful" My heart stopped for a minute....until I realized it was the 2014 line I was highlighting. Nothing for THIS fall draw posted yet.

    Just how tough are Elk?

    .260 Remington help

    Base of the bullet even or just below the bottom of neck if it were me. The .260 has a fairly short neck, at about .2594". With a long action, you have tons of room to run them long.

    Ants at a mile with 15X Swaros?

    Just how tough are Elk?

    I have found old bones with broken legs that knitted together no where near their original shape, seen 3 legged deer and elk, found broadheads while dressing game, seen elk during the general late season with arrows still in them, seen pass through arrows on a good hit, and seen the same elk 2 weeks later doing just fine. Tough critters.

    .260 Remington help

    Is it a true Short Action? What action, Rem 700? Clone? Savage? Winchester 70? Do you want to load to mag length, or is a single shot OK? Short action mag length for Rem & clones is right around 2.880 stock. If you want longer, make sure you have a minimum of the diameter of the bullet seated in the neck (.264").

  14. Never too young to start on basics like sit, stay, come. Use their names a lot. Love them, cuddle them, spend time with them.
  15. Camera is a Nikon D5200 w. Nikon Nikkor AF-S VR 70-300. I am still learning this camera, but it is pretty decent for a mid level camera. And the puppies are growing like weeds.
  16. Well, the younger of my two original dogs has really warmed up to his new play pals. At least the pups will grow up tough. They play really rough, all three of them.

    RV/Trailer storage in/around Kaibab

    Even BETTER! Kids and hunting are the best. I took mine up there a month before my hunt for weekend scouting trips and left it in a camping spot on NF land with no issues. It was unattended for up to 2 weeks before the hunt, and I was nervous, but no one messed with it, and no notes from USFS left on it.

    What binoculars to buy

    Save your pennies until you get to $1K+, then purchase your 10s. I think you will be MUCH happier.

    diesel fuel

    And if you get caught running red dye diesel in a vehicle used on the highways, you pay a "tax" (also known as a fine). It is for machinery, tractors, equipment, etc. I can't believe you got a clerk to give you $.08/gallon back.

    Has anyone seen any LARGE junipers here in Arizona?

    Unit 7W has a few monsters on the south slope of Sitgreaves Mtn. Not as big as the photos here though.

    Tall Tripods

    I am 6' -5", so it is plenty high for me, and rock steady. Not the absolute lightest setup, but works great. Well worth the weight and price.

    Tall Tripods

    My Manfrotto MT294C3 (290 series) w. 700RC2 pan head is 71" to the top of the pan head. With my 15s on an adapter, it puts center of eye piece at 72 1/2" from flat floor. If you are 6'4", your eyes are probably right around 5'11" to 6'0" from the floor, being about 4-5" down from the top of our head. If I put the ball head on the tripod (seen on the counter in the background), I could get an extra 1" in height (pan head is 3.5" base to mounting plate, ball head is 4.5" base to mounting plate).
