I hope you really mean that. I better consult with the fishing brick.

Kidding aside to OP. 243 has its place. If i was in your shoes id keep the 243 for coues and smaller game. Get a 7mm for bigger animals like elk and big muleys. Yes a 243 can work for elk and big deer. But when its time to shoot a big animal at a farther distance a heavier caliber is better.

Breaking news! Elk shot with 243 dies of the coronavirus.

It's two things!

Y'all that knew him well should post the pics and stories here. Might be nice for the family to read someday.

Well with his faith I'm sure he's with God now. The real pain is for the wife and little ones. Very sad for them. Enjoy the other side Mike.

Any on the ground pics?

Is it pretty comfy can you lean back in it without a toppling over and still glass?

Welcome to the site and congrats on the cow.

I hate sitting on the ground. REI trail stool is what I have. Super light and packable. Only rated for 200, I'm 220 no problems yet. Those helinox look sweet, I find it hard to believe the weight capacity though.

I would use a heavier caliber and be prepared for farther shots as well. Last I was up shots ranged from 200 to 500 yards. 6.5 creedmore or 7-08 would be the lightest calibers I'd suggest.

Does a new burn get progressively better each year? If so when does it reach its peak? I read about 5 to 7 years for burns when it came to elk. I'm more curious about the kaibab fire and when it will peak for Deer or if it's gonna be good every year.

Yeah I dated her for a minute. PM sent.

You made my jaw drop. Perfect color to hide your sneaky words.

Did you hear back from that lady?

Alive, they are worried about other ones not collared. Seems to me though if 9 out of 10 were alive they like other animals know how to survive. Hopefully they will be able to find food. Rains should be coming soon.

Just saw an article this morning that the tortoises could be in danger. 9 out of they had collared they found the tenth might be hiding deep in a burrow though.

Lol, no I'm not working for him. I spent one year on the bab with them. Gotta go back up and spend more time before he would cut me loose with clients. Couldn't make it last year planning on being back this year. No I dont actually worship the man but sure do see him as a mentor.

What do you do for a living?

Talked to a guy supposedly saw one cross the highway right at the casino when he was leaving payson early one morning. Hes not a hunter though so he could be mistaken.

Awe man dude. That definitely complicates things. If it's the early hunt go elk hunting with the family. If it's the late hunt go elk hunting with your family and then go on an awesome deer hunt. But before you leave put some applications in for a new job.

Nope. Turn the tag in and bring little bro on a killer deer hunt instead. You will both still have a blast. Besides, a late unit 10 archery elk hunt would be a very tough tag for a newbie. Even experienced guys come home empty handed.

Nice. Who did the mount?

Yours sounds cooler. Mines a single cylinder with a centrifugal clutch, think it's a 250 or 300cc. Put new tires on it and bought all the upgrades. Pumper carb, titanium plug, electronic adjustable cdi, cool air intake and got the red spring and slider weights for the clutch. Been working on it with my boys. Got the carb on and intake but fuel flow ain't right it's been driving me nuts. One wire might be wrong still troubleshooting it.

Easy install. Just put it in your room.
