Haha... sorry, it was a joke, he's a notorious 7mm-08 hater. I don't know if he's even on the site anymore? Anyhow, sorry to get your hopes up! I have a cute little Browning A-bolt 300 WSM that I'd sell you, it's a really small gun, 22" barrel. You could get with someone who reloads and load up some reduced power 150gr. for it to duplicate 7mm-08 ballistics and you'd always be able to go higher with it. I'd take $450 for it, its a little bit dinged up, but a good hunting rifle. Only problem is I'm in ND so I'd have to ship it.

I think Lark has one for sale. PM him.

I use what the law allows. If you are a true purist, a .54 Renegade is too easy, you should use a compound bow... but if you are a true purist you shouldn't use a compound you should use a recurve.... but wait, if you are a true purist, you should use a spear, or rather, just your fists..... Anyhow, I use the most lethal weapon the law will allow me, I apply for muzzy tags all the time and hunt with them annually because draw odds/season dates etc are better. You can't go wrong with a T/C. I would STRONGLY recommend going with an encore as the accuracy is better then the Omega, not sure why but I haven't heard of an Encore that won't shoo the lights out. They used to b considerably more expensive then the omegas, but the encore FX is the same gun just not compatible with centerfire barrels, and sells for $499 at sportsmans. Best buy for sure. I second (or third or fourth) the Blackhorn 209. Good luck and have fun!

Draw results are up.... Shot down on all accounts

you found elk sheds in Texas?

Hey Matt, thanks for your service! I don't have a line on a truck, but be sure to get an application in for coues deer on Ft. Huachuca before the deadline in early June. If you don't apply for rifle, then you can only bowhunt the OTC hunt. If you need info PM me. Tags are very easy to draw.

2 3/4" 8 shot.

I just wanted to drop a thank you to all the CWT members for all the knowledge I picked up over the past 4 years here. When I found out I got into dental school in AZ I remember thinking, well I guess I can hunt rattlesnakes and scorpions for 4 years. I never dreamt I'd find the hunting opportunities I did here! I couldn't have done it without all the help I received from all the members here! The draw gods in NM and AZ were pretty good to me while I was here, and I found that I enjoyed scouting considerably more then dental school, so I burned plenty off gas chasing desert critters around! I never thought I'd be sad on the day I get to move back, but I'm sitting here with my gear packed and ready to go (including a pretty good pile of mounts and sheds I'm bringing back north with me and I"m having mixed feelings about leaving! I'm not gonna miss the summers here in the valley, but I will miss everything else about this great place. I met a lot of cool people through this site and while out hunting, a lot of whom I'll keep in touch with and look forward to sharing more hunts with in the future. If anyone needs any info or help on anything up in the Dakotas, look me up, I'll still be floating around the forums dreaming of the day when I can come back and stick another javelina or bugle up another one of AZ's amazing bulls. Since everyone on here loves picks, I thought I'd throw up some pics of some of the critters that are gonna be making the trek north with me on the wall or in the freezer! Thanks again everyone!!! This is no doubt the best hunting forum I've ever been a part of! The best part is, they're actually gonna let me be a dentist too!!!! Ft. Huachuca Rifle Coues 80" AZ archery antelope 79 6/8" 250" NM muzzy bull 176" NM rifle muley My first pig! Thanks ruthunter and desertbucks!!!! First desert muley with a bow!!! 128" AZ archery elk 260" NM oryx!!! Tough hunt, last day, dang good eatin!! 2nd pig, hopefully not my last!!!

Did that already

I got a muzzy Ibex tag! This is gonna be FUUUUNNNNN!!! Only problem is I'm moving across the country in a week so scouting is gonna be tough.

I'll take em both off your hands Bret. I'll send you a PM. I told myself I wouldn't buy anymore guns, but I could use a new varmint gun, and I've always wanted a 30-30 levergun for some reason!

That one's from AZ, I've shot 3 or 4 in ND. I'm going in WY and on a landowner NM hunt this august. I can't get enough of 'em! If I were sitting on a bunch of points for AZ antelope, I'd book or plan a trip to Wyoming in the near future. The AZ tag you draw is going to be too good to be your first antelope hunt, go to wyoming and shoot a 70"er and get that off your back, then come back to AZ and hold out for a big one. AZ antelope is in a class all it's own, be ready for it!

I know there's a guy in Globe and that Chasin a Dream buys, but is there anyone who buys antlers in the valley, or anyone headed up to sell and wanna take mine? I'm packing up the rest of my house and found a bunch more horns this spring that I don't want to move across the country with me. It's almost all chalk white and hard whites, but there's quite a few there. Thanks

my bro called a few days ago, they said anytime between then and June 1st. I'm anxiously awaiting a WHOLE bunch of money from them. Unfortunately they credit it directly back to your card. I like it when a state sends a check because then the CC company doens't know you got refunded and doesn't take away your 1% cash back on the purchase. When they credit it back to the card they take your points back

Bdrew, I think the preloaded topo is 24K. I have GPS hunt maps with land ownership overlaid onto mine in all states that I hunt, so I'm not even sure what the base maps look like to be honest

Cabelas has the 450T on sale this week for $279. Smokin deal. Bdrew, the screen can be tough to read in indirect sunlight. It's good with the backlight on, or in direct sunlight, it's when it's in the in between that's not the best. That would be my only complaint on it. That and it eats batteries for breakfast!

where's Lark????

I'll buy it from ya. You have to come with while I hunt, and hold the gun right up until I shoot, then hand me the gun. Then gut it for me and say that you shot it until I get it home. If it's a unit 9 early rifle tag I'm willing to pay more.

No way that's a yote! You guys have for me scared to take my lab and sheppard out shed hunting now! I'd hate for one of you tO think it's a "nice primed up coyote!"

+1 on the safety slides, while the do help with bounce backs, the original reason was to keep the string out in front of your bow so that you don't get it wrapped around your cable guard, cam, or worse yet your arm. When I first started bowfishing they didn't have these and it was always a goat rodeo trying to make sure it's clear. They first saftey slides were a cable from end to end on the arrow with a swivel that ran then legnth. Then new ones that are plastic without the cable are awesome and easy to use. I prefer a big spin cast reel to the bottle ones as the bottle ones dont have enough friction to reel fish in, also I like the little rod that sticks out of the reel seat as it is sometimes helpful for yanking a missed shot out of the muck or the weeds. I use a separate by just because I don't like the idea of having to switch over all of my gear each time. Also, I shoot fingers as well, it's way faster.

@ Coach. Those boxes are freakin awesome!!! You should start selling them on here!

I've had my 450T for 2.5 seasons now and beat the heck out of it, and I've never had a problem with it. It's so easy to use, I find that I name my waypoints much more often with it then with my 60 because it has a full keyboard and takes just seconds to name a waypoint instead of scrolling through each letter. The resolution is way better and the screen is much larger then the 60 series as well. I was really worried about the durability of the touch screen, but am sold on it now. If you think about it, IPhones ride around in your pocket all day everyday and the screens keep working, and I feel that the Oregon screen is built even tougher then those.

Lag bolt through the lock box, with a python around that, and a guarded shackle lock on the lock box. Haven't lost one yet. I know it's bending the rules a bit with the bolt but if it saves me cams I'm ok with it.

What kind of sheep?!?!? I'm assuming barbary or it would've been followed by an exclamation mark?!

SCORE! YEP!!! I can't sleep!!
