'Tis the season...

I have a 20,000 mha battery with built in photo voltaic charger. I leave on the dash in cold weather and have yet to run it all the way down. I can charge my phone and steri pen at night and I'm good to go by morning.

Yeah, I stopped fronting money to "friends" in my early 20's after a similar experience.

Nice harvest.

Saw a big 3x3 with his nose buried and trailing on Thanksgiving up north.

That looks delicious! Nice headgear on him too.

We shot subsonics through a model 94 unsuppressed side by side with a Gamo spring air pellet rifle. The pellet rifle is louder. I'm actually glad I didn't know this 25 years ago.

You are a wonderful father.

What is the farthest you have tracked an animal?
Allforelk replied to AzDiamondHeat's topic in The Campfire
I agree on the toughness. The crappy shot resulted in her being 3 legged with a drag. I learned how to sift out tufted pine needles and pinpricks of blood on dry ground. I will say that a white gas lantern will be on every hunt I go on until we are robbed of the opportunity. It showed a weird level of detail I couldn't see in darkness with a propane lantern or 90's era flourecent lantern. -
I watched elk change behavior this year. It almost makes me think we have a tough winter coming. Try and seek benches and lanes with oaks. I saw more acorn studded elk shite than I have in a lot of years. I don't know 19a from driving the highway but I hope this helps. Good luck and shoot straight.

Free puppies Australian Shepherd blue heeler mix
Allforelk replied to 257 STW's topic in Classified Ads
I have a boxer/healer mix. Hands down the best/smartest/kindest dog I have ever had. If you mixed a healer with a chihuahua, I would probably be in. If anyone here that knows me and shows this post to my wife I need you to know we are gonna wrastle. -
What is the farthest you have tracked an animal?
Allforelk replied to AzDiamondHeat's topic in The Campfire
We tracked a cow from the East side of Red Knoll to where she dropped off into Sycamore. She was shot by a dirtbag, who has never been invited back to our camp, on the last day of the hunt with 15 minutes remaining of legal shooting light. He pulled a 60 yard, offhand shot and nicked the femoral artery. We tracked until 4:30 in the morning when we lost sign. Went back to camp, ate hot dogs and slept until 6:30. When we went back to the spot where we quit, we followed the coyotes to where they had harassed her off of the edge. We had to rig ropes, semi repel down about 60 feet to the ledge where she had landed and discovered she was still alive. I handed this guy my 686 and he finally put an end to it. We had to trim down the brush to make a lane so the anchor on top, my father, could row the quarters up with us pushing from behind. A misplaced step by my uncle had him falling backwards onto a freshly cut 45 degree stump. A can of Copenhagen might have saved his life but left a wicked target shaped bruise. We used way points on the available GPS unit at the time and marked it against maps. Without accounting for the zig-zags she pulled, she traveled just under 12 miles. Edit: I should point out that this was a late cow hunt in Unit ?. My 686 was on my hip when I was younger and in the woods😎 -
If already stated in the thread, I apologize. Who did you go to for the reamer? PTG?

Kill out early and head over to Kino Bay. Someone told me(it was me) the turtle soup is outstanding. Also try the ceviche de pulpa. The octopus out of those waters are crazy tasty for some reason. I don't know if they beat the heck out of them, but they are crazy tender too. Could be an amazing cast and blast...Google Bahia de Kino for pics.

Buy bigger than your immediate need. I would check tractor supply as suggested.

I like where this is going...

Resizing brass from .284 to .308 safe?
Allforelk replied to AZbowhntr's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Also, is it proprietary brass? Has it already been necked down from a parent cartridge? I would assume the powder charges published would produce some serious pressure. -
Resizing brass from .284 to .308 safe?
Allforelk replied to AZbowhntr's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I had to look it up, but I can't find any published case dimensions. I'm not familiar with any of the Lazzeroni cartridges. I know someone on here was talking about a warbird some time ago, maybe they will chime in. Post a link if you have one of case dimensions if you have one. -

That may be the prettiest puttty tat I've ever seen. -

Allforelk replied to AZbowhntr's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
What's the new cartridge? Can't really offer advice without knowing. -
I love this! I would definitely not be where I am without my pops. I can't even tell that grumpy cuss I'm thinking about buying something anymore if I actually want to purchase it. I had to sit him down a couple years ago over a bottle of whiskey and tell him to spend his dang money because I don't need it and he's not going to be buried with hit. Kudos to all the dads out there that have inspired the passion for our shared love.
