Coues Sniper

I think the "I'm taking my ball and going home" attitude is going to get us nowhere. Fill out the card. We have to at least give them the opportunity to do the right thing! Making the cards mandatory would certainly help. but it's no guarantee. If you don't return your survey in NV, you lose your hunting privileges for the following year. Pretty good incentive. But they've ran our elk herds down into the ground as well. I don't want to get drawn in NV at this point for elk. That's how bad it is. Game and Fish raises quotas for one reason: $$$ They get no money from taxes, so in order to write their own checks, they do everything they can to increase permits. What do they care if trophy quality is going down? They're still going to get more applicants than tags anyways. That's the attitude we need to somehow change.

The quality with the Crooked Horn just isn't there IMO. Badlands are nice, but i like the Eberlestock better. The pocket organization fits my needs much better than the Badlands. My J104 is the best pack I've ever owned. Both make great packs and have super service.

Good fight. Pulver lasted longer than i thought. It would have been great if he could have pulled it off. That kid (he's actually only 4 years younger than Jens by the way) is just too cocky for me. All i got to say is Torres might be my new favorite fighter. That dude is a STUD.

+1 Elite XC is a joke IMO. That first Affliction card looks pretty good though.

Got mine as well. I wish the logo on the front was a little smaller - still a cool shirt though.

That is absolutely re-friggin-diculous. If i had the other side, you'd have to pry it from my cold, dead hands my friend

I'd really like to try them out, I'm sure they are great boots (they ask that you send 5 pictures and an outline of each foot with your order so they can make them fit as perfect as possible ) I'm just not sure i can justify dropping that much cash on boots. They are exactly what I am looking for though. I'm also trying to save for what in all likelihood will be the ultimate hunting rifle of all time as well. I just need more hunting money.

Does anyone have any experience with these? (Hanwag Mountain Light GTX) I usually buy a pair of lightweight Salomon or Vasque boots for Coues hunts, which work great, but they normally get torn up in a season or so and the support isn't the greatest. I'm planning a backpack archery deer hunt in Nevada this year and was looking to step up to some better boots that are still light and warm weather minded, but offer a bit more support and last a while longer. These seem to fit the bill perfect (they weigh like 2 lbs a pair) but they better be freaking awesome at that price. I'm also worried that the Vibram sole may be noisy. Any info is appreciated http://lathropandsons.com/catalog/product_.../products_id/63 Thanks, Kevin

Sexy rig man . I like the paint job, a lot. Do you like those pod claws? What is the benefit besides in sandy soil? Do they reduce recoil? Are they heavy?

I've decided to (finally) start reloading. I've got the press and accessories all picked out, and am starting to round up the components. Trouble is I can't find what i want. Bullets and powder are pretty easy, but i can't find any Nosler 300 RUM brass or Federal 215 Gold Match primers anywhere! Anyone have any leads on either of them? I'd like at least 100 of the brass, and i'd even be willing to buy a small batch of the primers off of someone (I'll make it worth you while ) if they are willing to part with any. I'm wanting to try different primers but am pretty set on the Nosler brass. Any help is appreciated!! Thanks in advance, Kevin

Pump and go "Round Up" my friend Get 'em while they're small.

That's a well deserved bird there congrats. The info on how far she traveled makes it even better. Thanks for sharing.

You were supposed to have to have a passport for years now, but this last year was the first time they actually asked for it. They checked all of ours. I don't know how they would keep you out if you had the DL and BC, but it probably wouldn't be worth the headache. I'd get one if I were you .

Or it could be a buck that a cowboy killed. That's becoming a problem down there; Cowboys see a monster buck - kill it - and sell it for a few thousand dollars to some gringo for some easy money. (who then turn around and try to sell it to some other gringo) People think that just because cowboys don't have Swarovksi's and 300 Ultra mags they can't kill big bucks. B.S.!

25K? Dream deer for sure though.

Yeah, I did. Nobody on there can find any either

Here you go... http://www.gunowners.org/merchrosiet.htm I think I'm gonna get one myself

Although I think Ross is somehow affiliated with Metrao, the Cardiac comes with Winners Choice strings. Absolutely can't go wrong with them. Bucknasty also makes a nice string. Stock strings on the Bowtechs are nice too.

Tease.

4" worm! Bwahahahahahahahaahahhahaha! :lol: :lol: :lol: LMAO

Casey was nice enough to sell me some of his stash which will get me by for a while. As soon as I find some, I'm buying at least 2 or 3 K, that's for sure. I'll let the CW community know when and if I find any as well. Thanks for looking TAM

Heck of a trophy there man! Congrats

Craig, Make sure you aren't getting any contact on your rest as I'm surprised they are hitting 2" lower. I was getting contact at first but didn't notice as the FOB (apparently) corrected the arrow so quickly. Once I was dialed, my FOB'd arrows were actually impacting a touch higher than my fletched arrows. Shoot them at 40+ yards with some broadheads and I think you will start to see a difference, especially if they are a little out of tune. With field tips there really isn't much of a difference. And thanks for looking for the brass . Word is they (Nosler) are making it now. I think Cabelas will have some in a couple weeks (or so they say ) Kevin

Good to hear from you too man . Glad you got some good info, there are some great people on this board. I called the old man, and he didn't remember much more than i did, but what we did was park one truck down at the pump station, and then park another truck like 5 or 6 miles upriver. We had to hike down this pretty steep hill for a ways to get to the river and there was a pretty good sized tank on top that was full of catfish. We always caught lots of fish, and some pretty big ones too. Pops caught one that had to be pushing 5 lbs . Once you got close to the pump station the fishing got a little slower. Lots of places to camp, and the scenery is awesome, but we ran into snakes (plural) on every trip. The guy to talk to though, if you haven't already, is Wally. He's fished that river a lot. Good luck on your trip, and post some pics. Kevin

I didn't think Norma made 300 RUM (?). I've put the word out on LRH.com, and so far no offers. I think 'ol Casey is going to hook me up with some 215 match's, (probably can't give him a hard time for a while ) so i just need some brass. I have a few empties (which are also Nosler which is another reason i'd like to stick with them) to get me started, but not as many as i'd like. Word is that Nosler is either running 300 RUM next (after 308's) or they are already on them so they should be available within the next month or two. I just want it now Thanks for the help, you guys are awesome.
