Unhinged!!

I think most on this site would agree with you on education. It’s just kind of a touchy thing when anyone brings up stricter gun laws. Kind of understandable that you might feel that way a bit considering you saw the guy laying there being worked on. Education has to start at home and with so many growing up in broken families and with the number of firearms floating around in this country, I actually think it’s a miracle that more of these shootings don’t take place

Well then he was even tougher!

Buckskin Leslie must’ve been a tough character. Just like a boy named Sue!

Right. How many honest firearm carrying individuals are put in positions where they might have to defend themselves?

I had a similar thing happen near that stretch of road 15 years ago. Night before I loaded 3-4 ton river rock into the dump trailer with the skid steer. I dumped a few onto the fender which had a flat surface and thought, I need to remember to knock those stones off before leaving to Anthem the next morning. Well I forgot and about 530 the next morning, an irate guy pulls along side me on lake pleasant parkway yelling and screaming pointing to the cratered windshield. I knew then that I’d forgotten those stones. He pulled in front of me with his bass boat in tow. I felt horrible that he was going to miss the morning bite or part of it. He wasn’t happy of course but I completely owned it and we settled right there on the road. His insurance company covered the glass and I sent him a couple hundred dollars in Fisherman’s choice gift cards. That story also could have ended a lot differently if I hadn’t done anything wrong!

I was a contractor in the valley for 15 years and I definitely don’t miss the idiots on the roads. 10 years ago when I left, I didn’t think it could get any worse, boy was I wrong! Sorry this hit so close to home but no way will tighter gun laws help. The guy paid the ultimate price for not staying in his vehicle!

Oh wow! Guess I got my Kids mixed up!

Billy the Kid got killed, not sure where?

Yep, more than likely he ran about 100 yards and stopped and turned around! Carp!!

I recommend putting a new battery in it. I learned the hard way years ago and fried certain electronics in the pod ( speedo and hour meter) costing $400 to replace. Everything goes through the pod. Without a good battery or no battery at all there’s no place for extra electricity to go and the electronics can’t handle it. I’ve even heard of people cooking the 4wd switch and/ or light switch by not replacing the battery as well

It’s the AOC model! I have one too just not the competition model. Neat gun! Good luck with the sale!

Congrats! Way to stick with it!

I would take a cos elk tag though!

I know a few guys with 80” wt bucks that think they’re 100”-105”

heck yeah!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Thanks man! Our daughter is coming home from Germany December 19. Haven’t seen her for 2 Christmas’s

You bet!

Early mornings and late nights

Easier? You might have to give up the beer!

I’ve passed on big Muleys in areas where I knew big wt bucks lived during archery season. Not saying I’m right in the head but I’m addicted to coues the same way you are desert mule deer. And it’s not just the animal, it’s the rugged, beautiful country they live in, the other critters like lions you can glass up etc. I would love to kill a big Muley some day to hang on the wall however just don’t know if I want to give up a year chasing coues!

90” coues!!

Danged illegal!

I agree. Definitely unsettling to think when you see these guys, there could be riflemen watching over them and probably watching us too! When I think to myself this is my country and I’m not giving up what gives me so much pleasure, it calms me down a bit

I live not far from what’s been a pretty heavy traveled area. Guess I’m just used to it

I would say excitement if it hadn’t been for happening with both rifles and then verifying later. Last year I ranged for a friend twice and gave him the reading, he dialed and shot. He missed high by 2’ twice. I ranged again, this time steadying on my tripod, this time about 150 yards closer so he dialed the right moa and hit his mark. Before hiking to the buck, I ranged that area again and figured I was hitting a boulder behind the buck up the ridge that was about 150 yards further out. The spotter had the fever that time! I hate that feeling you got right now!
