TAM

Yes of course a .25 cal is PLENTY for deer. I just believe there are better choices.

Perhaps at 100 they're close, but at 500 they could be in an entirely different zip code. Yes, TAM I realize this. I am not a rookie to reloading, ballistics, or how a bullet/barrel works. I will spend my time at the range working the drop charts for each bullet out to my comfortable range.. I would hope the .523 BC of the VLD will out run the .370 of the 100 TSX. Trust me Casey.... You're still a rookie! Don't let arrogance and pride convince you otherwise. The more you learn in life the more you realize how much you don't know.

The 7mm Ultra is great elk round! It also has an extremely high Ballistic Coefficient if you are interested in long range hunting/shooting. The .257 is probably considered by most to be to light for elk. I know others will disagree, but my personal opinion is that even for deer there are numerous better choices, especially if you are interested in extended ranges.

Casey does this quote sound familiar? "bottow line is they are target bullets not hunting bullets. use hunting bullets for hunting, and target bullets for punching paper. thats what there made for." Does this mean you are going to start shooting competitivley or have you changed your mind? If you have in fact changed your mind, what did it for you?

That is just an amazing buck!

North, West side of unit 22.

Is it any good??? Lots of good vantage points to glass from! Medium to low deer population. Some parts of the canyon are either nearly inaccessable or totally inaccessable because of the steep terrain/cliffs/ledges. Glassing a deer on the oppisite side is one thing, but shooting it and recovering it is another story.

Yep.

The Outdoorsmans also makes there own version of a rifle rest that mounts onto a tripod. I own one and love it. I use it with there pistol grip which allows me to move the rifel in any direction if the animal moves. With my Bogen tripod I can use it from the standing position down to sitting. It only weighs 5 ounces and the wings fold in making it very compact. The down side is that it's pretty pricy.

Chill out there Buttercup! I found a few minutes and read the story. What an awesome hunt. One of my all time favorite hunts is chasing antelope spot and stalk with a bow. As long as you've got plenty of antelope in the area you can hunt non stop all day long. I still never connected but had a blast doing it. Congrats to a fantastic conclusion to your hard work! We'll be heading out by Carizozo in about 3 weeks for our rifle hunts. I hope to have a few good pic's and perhaps a story or two for you when get back. Are you going to get back out and find the match for that shed? Or better yet the buck itself? Tommy said he's gaurantees he'll find me a bigger one for my hunt in November, so I'm gonna leave that little one for you.

You people are way to quick to jump to conclusions. I never said it was Grongs buck, he just sent me the pic. It looks like a real pig from the tiny pic on my phone!

Ok, I didn't have time to read the story yet, but nice goat!

Grong sent me a pic of a nice on on my cell phone. Post it up Josh I want to see the larger version!

The so called "American Dream" of owning a house or land is a farce anyway. Try not paying your taxes on a house that you "own" free and clear and see how long you still "own" it. If the bank doesn't own it then the government does!

Read between the () Jamaro. I don't think next to a hat was one of the given options! Seriously that's a cool lookin shed. Now what's this pile of crap on your site about your antelope hunt being another story and 80 yard follow up shots being fore shadowing??? This aint NBC network telivision!!! Spill the beans man? First this teaser and next you'll be telling half the story and giving us a big to be continued. Not cool man! Don't make me start telling stories about you and Tommy down in Mexico! My stories are only half true and I'm not telling which half.

Nice find! How about a pic of you (or perhaps a hot super model) holding it so we can really tell how big it is?

The only thing better than stealing cool stuff from your brothers is stealing cool stuff from your Dad! Posession is 9/10's of the law. Nice rifle! I should be getting my custom finished in the next month or so. I can't wait.

Yep!

Sorry Crotalus but you're being niave I would bet money that the majority of cams stolen are from other hunters. I think the main reason for all the camera thefts latley is because it's right before the season and everyone is out scouting. Trail cameras are being used by more people than ever so there are more of them to steal.

I've had three stolen and two destroyed over the years. Dirty SOB's, leave other peoples stuff alone! I have three out right now. I hope there still there.

Had it on my Ruger Super Redhawk in .44 mag. I bought it brand new and it was only on the gun for a couple months when I took it to utah on a cow elk hunt. For the past several years it's been sitting on my shelf.

I have four items I'd like to sell. 1) A Garmin GPS 12 with case in exclellent condition. $25 2) A Bushnell Yardage Pro Compact 600 range finder. Works perfectly fine. I've had it for a long time so it does show some wear and tear. $25 3) A Leupold M8-4X Extended eye relief hand gun scope. Excellent condition. The glass is clean, but there are minor scratches on the tube from the rings. Rings not included. $125 4) RCBS Model 5-0-5 reloading scale. Excellent condition, I don't think it's ever been used. $25 I live in Prescott. Buyer responsible for shipping. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you! Tim

Scale is back on the market and the scope is still for sale as well.

First of all are you talking a 270 winchester and a 7mm Remington? There are several other choices to look at as well. 270 winchester short mag, and 270 weatherby mag. There is also a 7mm STW, a 7mm Remington Ultra mag, and even a 7mm weatherby mag. Any of these calibers with the right bullet, load, and shot placement will do what you are asking. The 270's are all designed to shoot bullets in the 100-150 grain range with the most common being 130's and 140's. The 7mm's are really designed for a little heavier bullet with the most common in the 140-165 range. Many people think the 270 winchester is about the minimum cartridge for elk hunting. Many people believe the 7mm remington is the ideal cartridge for elk. Either way they've both killed there fair share. If you really want to get technical and look at long range ballistics the 7mm will have better ballistic coeficients. You decide, there really is no wrong answer!
