You always have such cool stuff!! -
I think it's pretty clear what the BA after these Binos stands for!

Sweet. I have a pair of these in 7's. I like them. This is a sweet set of Binos for the price!

Hey Bob, Ive run into a few moose here in the Yellowstone bottoms, it's always neat to see them standing in a field here, they stick out like a turd in a punch bowl! Business is good, staying plenty busy despite all of the slowdown, blows my mind that $50 oil hasn't hurt things worse. I remember all the speculation that when it hit $80 it was gonna bust, then $70 and so on. This thing is here to stay that's for sure. I bet you're jacked for your elk hunt, the stars have definitely aligned for it!!! Wish I had a little free time I'd come down and glass for ya. I'm elk hunting in Utah 3rd week of sept then moose first week of October. Also decided to forgoe my Labor Day weekend tradition of trying to arrow a nd whitetail in exchange for a trip to Idaho to scout/hunt for moose. The season opens aug 30th so I can hunt right away. They won't be rutting and the leaves will be thick and it'll be hot but I at least want to get a feel for the place since its a once in a lifetime tag!

To hunt or to scount when in a new area?
yotebuster replied to TonyC's topic in Predator Hunting and Trapping
Life is to short. If the season is open (which it is for coyotes) then go hunting. -

Fort Huachuca - December
yotebuster replied to OutdoorAviator's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
I shot a buck off of there a few years back. It's a fun hunt. Good place to kill your first coues. December tags on post are much easier to come by then off. Most coues hunters would give there left nut for a December coues tag but on post they have leftovers. That being said they pretty much manage for opportunity on post. Hence the large number of December tags. I shot an 80" 3pt and it was the largest buck taken out of 30 some bucks checked in that year with the exception of a 107" buck shot the day before. There are big bucks on there don't get me wrong, but it's a bit of a headache to hunt on there and the age structure is poor due to the tag numbers. Fun hunt though. Pm me for more info if you want. Thanks for your service! -
Does the 375 Ruger have a place in AZ?

I'd buy the commissioner tag if they'd let me do that!!! -
NEW Ruger Precision Rifle .243, 6.5 Creedmoor, .308
yotebuster replied to willhunt4coues's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Do you know if it is modular with ar10 accessories? Looks like the mags are similar? Definitely an awesome entry level long range tactical rifle. I'm bettin it would kill a coues just fine too!! -

yotebuster replied to khmer6's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
If they open a burro season I'm gonna be getting something way bigger then s .375 for them!!!! I'm thinkin 50 bmg would be just about perfect!! -
I was just hoping they had the wrong number for me and couldn't get ahold of me last night....

Murph is calling me names now. That is a bit hypocritical after your rant the other day. I've attached a link with the definition of that one since I know it's over 2 syllables. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hypocritical

NEW Ruger Precision Rifle .243, 6.5 Creedmoor, .308
yotebuster replied to willhunt4coues's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
It looks and has the ergonomics of an ar15 but isn't semi auto. Seems like a guy would just be better off with an AR platform and you won't have to bolt it? Interesting concept for sure. -
I would look into the cheap cotton game bags you can get at any sporting goods store. I've heard lots of people use old pillow cases but in my opinion they're too small and too thick for use for game. Open knit will release heat more then the tight knit in a pillowcase. The second reason is I just don't like the idea of my deer meat being up against someone's nasty head grease. That's just me, I know you can bleach them and clean them well but for what you pay for them at goodwill you can just buy them at cabelas.

So sorry to hear about that bob. Looks like those two dogs lived a charmed life. That's the best thing you can ever do for them is love them and let them live and run in the desert or prairie.

That's funny. I know If I were a criminal I'd way rather come up against a little .380 or even a 9mm then a gravedigger tipped Easton!!

Does the 375 Ruger have a place in AZ?
yotebuster replied to khmer6's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I think the best question to ask is what size bullet do I want to throw at a given critter. Then get your cartridge from there. If you want to send 200 gr bullets down range then get a .30 cal as that's gonna optimize the ballistics for that bullet. 120gr then get a .25 cal. I'm not sure what kinda bullets they running out of the .375 but I'm guessing it's a short fat 250 or 270 gr. in that case you'd be better off with a .338 cal in my opinion. This is all speaking from ballistics only, if you wanna shoot something with a .375 just for cool factor then by all means get one! I just bought a .350 rem mag from Curtis and plan to shoot a whitetail with it just cuz. Is it the optimum caliber. Nope. Will it pile drive a deer. Yep! -
If I'm not mistaken this was the 2014 auction tag holder so he only had until aug 15. I woulda been getting a little nervous and wouldn't want to take it much further down to the wire. This bull may have added a 1/2" to length but woulda probably lost it in mass as the horns dry down so I'm sure it's a horse apiece. I'm thinkin I woulda went ahead and shot him!!! What an awesome bull! Congrats to the A3 crew and the hunter on this one!! Maybe I'll pull the raffle tag this year and that'll be me next summer!!
-
I would like to see that if you still have them. Thanks Here you go. Tough little guy. I guess it was June, not July, but still a long time to be cruising around with an arrow in your neck. Dart, man. You've got a f'ing dart in your neck.
-
That's not selfish. He's gonna have an awesome hunt in 3a/3c with a chance for a nice buck as well. I don't know for sure about outfitters as I've never been lucky enough to have to research them, I hope you have to!!

I finally got them out to 225yds. I have a leupold scope on it with drop compensation for slugs. Turns out to be off by about 6" at 200 but a little testing got me solid hold marks at 50,100,150,175,200,225. Even though these are one of the fastest slugs out there, they still shoot a rainbow! According to published ballistics they hold above 1000 ft/lbs to 200 yds. Seems like I read somewhere that 1000 ft/lbs is considered minimum lethal for elk, so it should be real similar for a shiras moose. Was able to get this group at 225. Pretty happy with that accuracy considering the trigger on the shotgun is pretty crappy. Also my curiosity got the best of me and I tore into one of them. The bullet is actually brass jacketed. They likely won't expand much as the brass is hard as heck but at .62 cal I don't think I want them much bigger!!

Looking to get a group together for duck season
yotebuster replied to TonyC's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
Probably about the same as buying them new. Most of these are older and in mediocre shape so I think you'd be better buying new. You can get a dozen hot buy mallards for $30 I think. -
Ugh. Just bought one from Curtis!!! Maybe I need two?!?
