No 230 Berger? 215 Hybrid? 240 SMK?

My mouth started watering....

Smoking deal. I have thought of building a similar setup. The tent box alone is $4K. Add the trailer it sits on and you are taking a serious haircut. Bump for an amazing deal. Wish I had the cash for it.

My wife and I were talking about this event about a month ago. I hope to make it this year.

He will be an opening morning first legal light early archery/rifle/muzzy shooter.

If she was "mother of the year" this kid wouldn't be running around on the street wearing a ski mask and setting cars on fire. He would be at home doing his homework. Just because she beats her kid's butt when he gets caught doing something wrong doesn't mean she knows anything about raising a child the right way. But just because you raise your child right doesnt mean they wont do stupid things. Notice he wasnt aggresive towards mom, kept his head down and took the whooping, he knew the routine. I have known parents that raised several kids and some just dont straighten out. The kid might have been protesting, but he was NOT burning cars. Not saying he would or would not have, but Mom nipped that in the bud. Good parents have kids that do stupid things, even if they are 99% good kids. I know my Mom and Dad would kick my butt NOW if they knew some of the stuff I did as a teenager.

Definitely a good guy and good father. Happy birthday, glad to say I have met you.

If you have a "rifle" elk hunt, that is a general hunt. You can legally take and use your bow. Sounds like a great opportunity to me. I agree with the above post on hunting rabbits with your bow. Great practice during the off season, and really fun to boot. Makes hitting an elk at 50 yards seem easy if you can hit a rabbit at 30.

I think the TAXIDERMIST had it for 2 years, not SCI. But I could be wrong.

Oh, I see you are married.....

What is wrong with that in the baby's room? Just a big stuffed animal.

I have to disagree. I bet she whooped his butt often. Just a young and dumb kid. And she showed him, again, not to go against her word. I applaud her! You should have seen his shame in the interview. The embarrassment is going to be far more effective than a slap in the head.

I live about 4 miles away, and pass it everyday. So yeah, almost.

Haha how so? Because, with 23 bonus points, I did NOT draw a tag again. Good luck with your hunt. I really hope you tag him this year.

You are killing me.....

Bruno's did not have any when I was in there on Monday, neither did Sportsman's in Phx. There was a post on here about H1000 at an online source, and when I looked at it on Monday, they had Retumbo in stock.

Love the GSPs.

Welcome to the club. This is a great place to learn about almost every aspect of hunting. I do not have any hunts planned at the moment, but just getting out and shooting would be a big benefit.

That is awesome! Way cooler than my wrought iron saddle stand.

Good luck. Let us see how it turns out.

Mike, do you need me to pick this stuff up for you? I can buy it, then we can hook up when you get back if you want.

Whatever shoots BEST! Shot placement is priority #1. Shots could be long in 10 on the late hunt. Accubond are better LR bullets, but you need to see which one shoots best at 500 yards. And when I used to shoot NBTs, I heard the .308" 180s were a different animal than the lighter .308" projectiles.

I reload .223 in my single stage. But again, I load for accuracy and consistency, not true bulk "blow and go". I can load 300-400 an evening with my press. But.....I have some additional tools that help speed things up. Like an electronic dispenser/scale (but a powder throw works quicker, just weigh every 10th throw to ensure it is consistent), and I have done all of my brass prep beforehand (which you need to do anyway, even with a progressive press). A single stage will load pistol rounds just fine. But not as quick as a progressive. Buy a progressive first if you want. You can get a single stage press later if you want, for cheaper than a progressive press. Most dies, shell holders are interchangeable, so you can use them for either.
