no worries

Congrats on a 3 for 3 hunt. Nice work.

Great job getting it done out there. Solid first deer and the first of many I’m sure. Nice to hear that he had the patience to wait for the right shot. That snake is downright scary 3 out of 3 is awesome. Nice work dad.

Great buck. Sounds like you guys did your homework and it paid off.

Did the 280ai not like the 162 eldx ?

Deliverance Peak ?

I’ve had the 8 plus for a few months. It’s a company issued phone and at first I wasn’t a fan of the large size. Hard to slip it into a pocket and I don’t wear the holster. It took about a month to adjust and I really like it now. Reception is very good and the battery life seems better than the smaller phones. The large screen rocks.

Great powder fo under $20 a pound. 👍

Hopefully will have some time next week to give it a try. I’m not set up to reload yet, I dropped off a box of Nosler brass and a box of 162 eldx at a buddy’s house to start with. Its a 9 twist 24 inch # 5 custom barrel, I’m guessing it will like the 160-175 bullets. Ill post some targets/load data and ask for advice as I go thru load development.

Plus 1 for a pellet smoker/grill. Nice to be able to crank it up for a fantastic steak.

Wow. That was a great find. Being able to spot this in a pile of antlers is awesome.

Way to get it done.

Just want to wish all the youth hunters good luck. Be safe and enjoy the time spent out there. Post some stories!!

Opening morning kills are awesome. Great work.

Going to be selling a pair of binos after this week's youth hunt. They are the 15x56 HD "euros" sold thru Cabelas and produced by Meopta. These are excellent optics. Glass is in perfect shape and the body is in really good shape as well. No cuts ,nicks in the armor. Objective lens covers are a little loose fitting, I'll check to see if replacements are available.

Thx eagle#eyes. I had 2 others pm me. They are pretty much sold barring me doing something stupid to them this hunt.

Biglowt has dibs pending inspection.

cross between a coues and a longhorn?

Can't you guys leave the location coordinates on those pics ?

Anyone have info on the 34A camp for the Oct youth hunt. I heard that it was moved to the Sonoita rodeo grounds, but haven’t seen any details. Neither of my kids drew that tag, but the 16 year old wants to volunteer at camp. Thanks Jim

Crowbait, It seems that there is always a need for help (mentors) at the youth camps. You will need to go to G&F website to register as mentor for these camps. I think that the unit 33 youth camp organizers have a post on this forum asking for help as well. Hope you can make it out to one of the camps.

I'm left eye dominant and prefer a right hand bolt gun unless it has a huge cheek rest (since it's a waste for me on the other side). As a kid, there were not any left hand rifles available for me to use and I learned to cycle the RH bolts. Now I prefer them, lefty rifles feel strange. Never noticed any problem making scope adjustments. I also like keeping my shooting hand (left) in place while cycling the bolt with my right hand, kinda keeps me in position better. Both my kids shoot right handed and we can share rifles. Your kid will be fine no matter which way you decide to go. Lots of options will work if you find time to practice them.

Good luck this weekend with your 2 hunters. We are trying to make it down to help out and will look you up if we make it.

That’s a great write up. It was like being there on the hunt. Congrats to both of you.

That’s a solid 5 shot group. I’ll
