    Fun with my quadcopter!

    What brand of quad copter is this? I've seen some other video from different ones that wasn't nearly as good as this!!! Awesome!

    Mathews blows up Again 2nd time this year

    I think you guys are confusing spine with weight. If he's shooting a 400 SPINE bloodline at 28.5" x 7.7 grains per inch, that's 219.5 grains of arrow. Depending on vanes and insert and broadheads weight I'm guessing they are lighter then 400 grains. Probably still not out of line though

    sonoita antelope ?

    I realize the terrain is different down there, but my uncle used to be a gunner for the state trapper in SD. Their personal best day was 162 coyotes. I know it's incredibly effective but no doubt expensive.

    Trapping is more effective the aerial gunning?!? I don't believe that for a second.

    Got my Unit 7 Antelope back

    Good to hear! I'm always skeptical of quick turn around times as I worry guys do the garage tanning method! That mount looks great!

    That's quick turnaround! Does he do the tanning himself??

    NM Ibex! Better late then never!!

    Not to great! I kept all the meat but ended up making sausage and jerky out of it after trying the back straps. They're tiny animals, so there wasn't much meat, maybe 10-15 pounds after it was boned out.

    I gotta give all the credit on the mount to Killanjaro! He does OUTSTANDING work!

    Unit 5B Antelope in 2014?

    Whatever happened to 19B? They shut it down that year and then cut the tags to almost nothing, seems like it should be crawling with giants now? The genetics in the 19's is off the hook, they just shoot every 3 year old buck in there every single year, so it seems to me if they got a bit of time to grow that would be the place to be? I know the big chino shut down hunting, but I know if I was sitting on that many points I'd look long and hard a 19B and see if you could secure access to the Big Chino even if you had to pay a little bit to do so, there's gotta be some monsters on there now?
  11. 12x50 ELs for $2199?!? Those won't last!!

    Winchester 284

    My dad has a model 100 in a .284. Similar gun its just the auto version. It LOVES 120gr bullets. Hates anything heavier. It'll hold 5 120grain ballistic tips in 1.5" at 100. It's killed an absolute pile of big ND whitetails. I even took it to Mississippi on a hunt one year and actually piled up 3 does that ran by me on a deer drive, I shot the whole herd and they landed literally on top of each other. I love that caliber!

    Molli's Elk

    The only game kings I've been around we're small caliber so that's not a good comparison. I've been shooting 150 swift scirrocos out of my 7mm STW with really good performance at all velocities. I've shot game from 60-600 yards and all of them look as they do in the advertisements. I'd look into them if you're making a switch.

    Molli's Elk

    Big cow ! What caliber?
  18. They need to start doing a dang harvest survey before they bother with DNA!! I think that'd be a little more useful.
  19. This was in ND last week. -13 here a couple days ago. They're headed south now!!

    Savage BMAG and 17 WSM

    I was on a wait list to get one. That is until I shot one. They feel like a plastic toy BB gun. I thought it was to good to be true at the price they are advertised. Well it is. They are cheaply built and poorly put together. The one my buddy has shoots OK but nothing like it has potential to (2 1/2"@100 yd). I like the cartridge but will definitely be waiting for a different brand to come out.

    What kind of track is this?

    Looks like an elk tha slipped in the mud to me

    Outdoorsman tall or short bino adapter?

    I like the short cuz I can still put my 15's in the case with it left on.

    nosler partition long range bullet?

    If you plug your variables into a ballistics calculator it takes a lot of what people "think" and changes it into what it really is. I quickly put in results for a 180 partition and a 180 accubond and they have a difference of 114 ft pounds of energy and 4.3" if drift at 800 yards. Pretty negligible if you ask me. Now we can all sit around and argue whether that 4.3" is substantial or not, but fact of the matter is if you are taking a 800 yd shot you better know your wind and how your bullet responds to it. I would stick with what shoots good and you have confidence in.
  24. They have all federal waterfowl production area land shut down here in ND. Can't even walk in to hunt. Can't go on it period. Not sure if the state wardens will enforce it though.
  25. Congratulations on a great start! Not easy to take down those the F14's, especially 2 of them! Were those both hens or was it a pair? That's a drake and a hen. The one on the right has a much brighter speculum on his wing then the one on the left. Plumage changes, but speculums will stay the same.
