    Saw this on tv yesterday. Deer breeding. Monsters

    Still not high fence nor are they breed by human hands to get to that point. I love DIY but once I get drawn in Wyoming for Elk its so far Im willing to use an outfitter.

    Its a special type of person who will pay tons of money for a special breeded high fence hunt and then they can pat themselves on the back after they shot it. Look there is a monster! Shoot it before its runs away!! Oh wait it can't and its used to people petting it. But all jokes aside I would do private property and high fence in a large plot of land for a cheap price. But spending over 5k to shoot a tame animal not really.

    Want to hunt NM for Antelope

    Look on line, and look at craiglist a 3-6 months before the hunt starts. There are owners out there that just sell a few tags. Big ranches usually have outfitters and it will cost you a total probably around 3-5k. Depending on the land size it can cost you from 1k-3k for a landowner tag. You need to be diligent in searching. I paid once for a outfitter the first time. It was 4k. So I searched and searched. I got lucky a guy on a ranch of 50,000 acres was looking for quality safe, ethical hunters he can trust year after year. He refuses outfitters. That add came out on Muley Crazy.com. after a google search. He posted it 15min before and I quickly called him. He is a great guy and he got to hand pick the people to hunt this land that he trust and its the same people every year. So lots of email, lots of phone calls. You might get lucky and find a good ranch at a good price. Good luck

    Electrician trade school opinions?

    Ok Im a lic plumber and business owner. My best best friend is a lic electrician and business owner. You won't find a 6 figured job unless you travel the country for the union non stop. But if he really wants to apply himself it won't be hard to get a head of piers in AZ. Just take code classes at MCC and some Architectural classes from there too. Soak it up. Apply yourself! If its something he has not done raise your hand and say i want to learn. Business owners love these type of people. In 4 years he can get a JM card in AZ. In 5 years he can own his own business. If not he is already miles ahead in field. He will be making more then most. Keep at it he will be running jobs with 10 people under him. IN 8 years he could have 20 people under him making 6 figures. If he is there just for the paycheck then he is just like everyone else at at 45k-65k. Nothing wrong with that but if he wants it, construction in AZ the hungry person for advancement makes it far!! Some of my good guys are at 66-70k. My real hungry guys for achievement are at 70-90k. And Ive had 2 people work with me that were the best! But they started their own company. That is how AZ works though

    New Mexico Antelope 2022

    This happen in Aug and really never got around to it. But since I've been home all day for the holidays here we go! Opening morning we got to our high spot and right away looking down I see a decent buck but with nice cutters. I hmm and haw at him and said out loud there is no way this guy is on the Property. Pulled up OnX and lo and behold he is sitting right in the middle of a 1/4 squal mile island of the property surrounded by State land. I put my gun on him and my hunting partner said wait a second I want to film this. I'm on the gun just waiting and waiting. And of course once he is ready the buck started moving after grunting at us the whole time. He ran a bit and stopped. Only at 450 yards I shoot and right over his back. On video it looked like a few inches over his back. He ran off of his little island and back on state land. I thought that was weird how I missed so bad. My hunting partner finds a nice buck a mile out. Through the spotting scope he looked good. He bedded down, So I stayed on the high ground and guided him into him. He gets into 300 yards and sets up waiting for him stand up. After 15 mins or more he stands up. Watching through his spotter I see dust and then a boom. I couldn't believe he missed that buck, then he radios me and says that's not me!!! The buck runs towards him and stops 150 yards in front of Kyle. He radios and says should I shoot him? And then through the binos I watched the buck fall over and then a boom. He radios back and said thats not me!. Some other hunter 600 yards out just shot him. I guess the hunter bedded the buck last night and he told Kyle he was very grateful for not shooting this buck. I guess something like that happen on a bull elk hunt a couple years ago and they got into it with the other hunter that tried to take his elk that he just killed. Well Kyle stayed on the south side of the valley and I stayed on the north side of the property and just worked the valley. I glassed up a nice buck and took after him. In the mean time that same buck I shot and missed started following me staying about 400 yards out and grunting. Can't do anything about he is still on State. I got set up at 600 yards on this bedded buck waiting for him to stand. Once up I made my shot and missed again! Dude what the! What is going on. I hiked back to the truck and picked up kyle. I found a hill and shot at a cow patty at 500 yards and was about 10 inches high. I have no idea why my zero is off. But we go find a spot and re zero it back. Found a soft ball size rock at 500 yards and smack in the center. Ok ok good to go! We made a couple attempts on some bucks but nothing happen. Now its even time and now we are on the bluff looking over the whole area planning for tomorrow. Sure enough that same buck comes off the bluff 500 yards away grunting at us for 20 mins. He slowly comes down. I told Kyle Im going after this SOB. He said he is on state. Yep and he is heading towards the private property. I was waiting for him to get some distance from us. I run down the hill with my gear and the buck goes over this little 4 ft knoll and now he can no longer see me. So I just walk to that knoll. My spotter radios, he is feeding with some does. The 2 does I asked? Yep! Ok perfect because those does are on the property. I come over the knoll and ranged him at 710 yards and can't get prone due to the high grass. So I extend out the bipods to 36" and grab my second hand held bipod and rest it under the rear stock. Boom and dropped him. My 280AI that Lance did the load development shooting 160TMKs at 3100fps has broken every animals spine which has been 5 animals. It does what bergers do but just more! All hits have been center mass and it still breaks the spine or damages the spine. I really need to do a write up on that bullet. But Sadly we haven't seen any of them for over a year now. The next morning we started about 1/2 mile from day 1. Same thing Kyle finds a buck that looks wide and cool looking. We went back and fourth between 2 bucks to go after. He couldn't decide but the wide one bedded down. I told Kyle Just drive the truck around down in the valley and park it 800 yards out. The buck can't see you due to these 15ft high rolling hills that are about 100 yards long. So he does just that and I watch the whole thing again from a mile out. He gets up to a shooting position. Same thing he's waiting for him to stand up. So after 20-30 mins Im bored and start texting Lance what Kyle is waiting for. Lance is now texting me back with questions marks.........anything? Nope but we have truck coming our way. I radio Kyle and told him a truck is coming. Probably be there in 10 mins. Lance texts back and if you can see his vital and have a good shot take it. So I rely back to Kyle if you have a good shot take it. He radios back and says Im getting ready. At the same time im texting Lance whats going on play by play. He shoots and hits him hard. He gets up from the shot and moves 10 ft and sits back down. Kyle re adjust and shoots again and dumps him. Side note Lance didn't have a tag this year gave it to his daughter and helped another youth hunter. With Kyles buck, my buck and the people that was with Lance that was 6 bucks down in 24hrs!! It was a fun hunt! Kyles buck looks cool and looks big in pics but didn't even score 70inchs

    Mounting a Rifle Scope

    I do everything in this vid and I use the foam technique. I lay in a prone and have the gun in my shoulder where it feels comfortable and move scope forward or back until sight aligns. My back doors are glass sliding and I aim at the block walls where the blocks are level. I level the scope reticles on the block while the gun sits comfortable in my shoulder.
