How true it is.

That's exactly my point. People prefer to hunt on the trophy hunts versus the early hunts with lots of other hunters in the field

It's all about the journey... not the destination. You waited 20 years so enjoy your hunt of a lifetime!

I'm a serious muzzy rookie, but I recently bought a TC Encore Pro Hunter for an upcoming hunt and I'm very happy with it.

Yep, in less time then it took to type this. I'm seriously not trying to be a jerk about this. I've had several cameras stolen that were locked up good and tight. I've also had other cameras destroyed because the dirt bag thief couldn't get the camera off the tree. I've said it for years. The only way to keep your camera safe is to make it so the bastard thiefs can't find it. All the chains and boxes just keep good people honest. Good luck!

So much for G&F's quanity versus quality theory

Gino, I've had the same problem once before. I think it was due to the card not being formated properly. Aren't those the deer that eat the grass in your front yard?

Thanks, I just set the DVR

Mine will. A couple years ago I lost the key to my camera. I went to Home Depot in Payson and bought the cheapest pair of bolt cutters I could find. They cost $10 bucks. Went out to my camera and cut right through like a hot knife through butter. If the cheap-o bolt cutters don't work, a cordless drill with a grinding wheel will. Even with your fancy boxes and chains, if a dirtbag theif wants your camera, he's gonna get it.

Sorry to bust your bubble... but it boggles my mind at the time and money you all are putting into these worthless boxes!!! They look good and solid, but I still insist that if a scum bag theif wants your camera he will get it. I've said for years that all they do is keep good people honest. It only takes a $9.99 pair of cheap Home Depot bolt cutters to get any one of those boxes off the tree. Mike is right... less than a minute Save your money and spend your time hiding your cameras where no one will find them. If it can't be found, it can't be stolen.

Welcome

... Spotted Owl blood. I've heard that Condor blood works good as well.

AWESOME!!!

I recently used the same smith in Strawberry as Mike is referring to on my TC Encore Pro Hunter. It is now one of the best triggers I own. 2 1/4 lbs, crisp, with no creep. It's seriously worth the drive!

... Or find out that I drew a Desert Bighorn Sheep tag today! Thanks guys!!!!

You may want to contact Swampy over at JLK Bullets. I'm not sure if they've got them in stock, but they are nearly an exact match to the Bergers only with a higher BC. They're even manufactured using the same process and same J4 Percision jackets. Just a thought if you're getting desperate. http://www.swampworks.com/jlk/

So I went out looking at antelope tonight with Schmitty and two of my boys. Schmitty brings his gun along in case we see a coyote... which we usually do. I'm glassing looking for one of the bucks I've been watching when I glass up this coyote laying on the bank of a dry wash right next to it's den. Long story short Schmitty gets set up as I get my spotting scope set up and range her at 371 yards. The gun goes boom, the dog does a back flip, and my boys cheer and go running out to retrieve the prize. I couldn't stop laughing when this is what they brought back! It's either a dwarf or about 8 weeks old. We knew it was immature when he shot it, but we at least thought it would be bigger than a jack rabbit. None the less my boys thought it was the coolest thing in the world!!! Not too bad for 371 yards.

I think a lot of people are getting to the point where they just don't care anymore because no one is listening anyway. Sad and Scary all at the same time.

I've missed them at lots of different ranges. Close... Far... and everywhere in between.

AMEN!!! BTW, I saw your antelope horns at Dan's place the other day.... Very nice

My AR500 plate has holes in it to attach it to a chain so it doesn't need to be welded. I just dropped it off at my buddys place yesterday. He's going to weld up a frame from angle iron to hang it from. I can't wait to see how it works. You can buy the plates pre-cut off ebay. They have different sizes, and even AR550 and AR600 steel.

Hey Dennis what kind of steel is that GONG made from??? I just got a 10 inch diameter, 3/8" AR500 steel gong. I'm having a frame welded up for it right now. Just wondering how well it will hold up for the 300 RUM? I don't plan on shooting it any closer than about 500 yards.

+1 Almost any of the broad heads on the market are more than enough to do the trick. Especially on deer sized animals. Accuracy is way more important!!!! If it won't fly straight you won't kill it. Find what shoots straight for your set up and forget about all the hype! Good luck

If these two don't count as "Other Big Game" I don't know what does? Who's your pick? What round? Submission or KO? I'm gonna say Lesnar puts Mir on the mat and pounds on him till the ref stops it in round two. I'm really torn with this one... I'd really like to see them both win for different reasons. I just hope it's a great fight to watch.

The only problem with Dan's second hit was that he admitted to Joe Rogan that he knew Bisping was out and that he gave him the second one just to shut him up. If he wouldn't of said anything I don't think Dana would have said anything either. I actually agree with Dana. He has worked hard to keep a shiny image for the UFC. If poor sportsmanship and cheap shots are smiled upon then it will drag the sport down.
