Buy one every draw for 6.5 years and take hunter safety.

I’ve got 15 javelina points. I could be bought for the right price next year.

Got it Done Again - Old and Gnarly

Good deal on a hard to get powder!

As usual I agree with lance on all things except the FFP thing I won’t own another leupold vx6. Way way over priced and underperforming scope IMO. I’ve had 3 and yet to see one track properly. The night force nx8 is a dang good scope for the money. They make a SFP so that’s in my wheelhouse. Wish they made one with a simpler reticle as I don’t use subtensions and even their simplest one is a gong show. If you can save a bit more id look into a S&B Exos. It’s my current go to scope. 7x zoom so you get the benefit of 3x on the low and 21x on top. Nice size for a hunting rifle and it will not let you down on tracking. They make a real simple duplex with dot reticle that gives me wood. I got my last one as a demo on eurooptic for $2600 so not much more then an NX8 at retail. That being said my dad was just in same boat and he went with an NX8 4-32. Great scope. I’d do a 2.5-20 if it was me as 32x and nigh force glass doesn’t really work together great but it’s a dang nice scope and it’ll do what he needs it to.

Please don’t shoot an antelope with horns shorter then his ears on an AZ tag. I might cry if that happens. AZ tags are special, you can shoot 8” dink bucks every year in WY, MT, CO etc etc but AZ antelope are a once in a lifetime thing so treat it that way.

Even in much of the Midwest the doe slaughter is a myth. If you’ve reached carrying capacity of your habitat then you need to thin deer, and does are the best in that case. That happening is quite rare though. It would never happen in the west and doesn’t happen near as much as the TV shows want you to think in the farm country of the Midwest. The best thing we ever did on our place here in ND was to slow the doe shooting way down. They were shooting 30-40 a year off of 5k acres. I’ve cut it back to just a few (youth hunters) and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made as far as deer go.

Looks good! I can’t stand to waste antelope on smoked stuff. Save the old muley bucks for that!

Giant ram!! Congrats!

That’s too bad to hear. I met him when I was 8-10 at a gun show here in ND. I was pretty fired up about coyote hunting with my .17 rem back then. I was bouncing back and forth between the 25gr match HP and the varmint HP and only had money for 100 of one or the other. He gave me both boxes at half price so I could try each of them. I’ll never forget that.

Should have known, 4b is a giant elk unit and that’s it.

They could be anywhere from right on to way off depending on your tune. If you haven’t shot them yet then it’s not to late to get some new broadheads, there are so many good options out there that are better then the old aluminum can thunderheads. This late in the game I’d get some expandables and go hunting as it’s too late to try to figure out a fixed head. Most good expandables these days are light years better then a thunderhead anyhow.

Bump for some good bullets. When I used to shoot sabots these things shot lights out in my encore. Smoked 3-4 bulls with them at anywhere from 35-300 yards and they always mushroomed perfect.

Just sent it back to you. Thanks for lining that up with crazy monkey!

Send me your PayPal and I’ll send you $70 for the other 7 boxes of 20 ga and you can donate those to him as well since he’s lined up to divy them out. My PayPal email is benbuntrockdmd@gmail.com if you wanna send me an invoice through PayPal you can do that too.

Hoping someone can bail me out here. Loaded some of these up for a WY Buffalo hunt and my 7mm STW absolutely loves them (like one ragged hole with those ugly bastards). Anyhow I have a moose tag this year and would have sworn I had a box of them on the loading bench and I guess I don’t. Anyone happen to have any laying around? Will pay well and cover shipping of course.
-
Thanks! Appreciate the help! I’ve got some 175 partitions that shoot similar that I can use if necessary and will load some up as a backup in the meantime. Thanks!
-
Thanks. They’re in Canada and won’t ship to USA.

I was an archery tech in a pro shop for 3 years. Never said bows can’t be tuned that well. People can’t be tuned that well.

Texas heart shot! Drought years are good ones to go after cactus bucks I guess!

Stud buck and great mount as usual from Clay!

Trump is the only president in recent history to do an all out “turn it over to the govt” ban on a gun part when he banned bump stocks. Not a ban on production, not a ban on import. A true, you are a felon if you don’t comply ban. This Russian ammo import ban was in the works during his presidency. It doesn’t have anything to do with sides. If you think that 45 was any more your friend then 46 you are wrong.

I agree in theory but not in practice. The level of tune you need to throw those big long broadheads straight is beyond what most people’s shooting ability. I shoot a 500 grain arrow but my groups open up substantially with any fixed head ive tried, especially in wind. I don’t buy the whole single bevel “breaking” bone thing and I absolutely don’t want front end steering on my arrow (which is what a single bevel does). I think Ashby’s research is so focused on shooting African crap at 12 yards on a hay pile they forget that you also need to be able to hit things at reasonable hunting distances. I would agree that my bow would kill best with a 325gr single bevel head and a 800 gr areow at 15 yards, but if I’ve got that shot, it will do just fine with my 500 gr VAP and a rage.
