What is an " Idaho light foote"!!????

I am debating if I should switch over to the long range accubond in my 270 wsm and 300 wsm!!????? Give me some input to the pros and cons....bc I know, but how do I they perform on animals ect. The original accubonds (. 130 gr anf 150 gr) have performed flawlessly for me on manny animals for the last 5 years or so. Is it worth changing Thanks for any info Whitey

I am a big fan of the wsm. Good luck with the sale

I have a Browning A Bolt in .243 that I am seriously thinking of converting to 6.5 caliber. So far I really like the sounds of the 260 Remington and the 6.5 creed. Can someone who has messed with both give me the pro' and con's????? ( on paper they seem very simular) Also, can someone recomend a good smith to do the work Thanks, Whitey

Ddddddd double

I have all my .223 's on at 100. 90% of the game I have called in over the years is shot inside 100 yards. If one hangs up further than 250 you will need to range to figure out the shot anyway. With that being said, the post in both my Ar's his perfect at 300. Good luck Ps. Pick a single bullet that shots well and performs on the hit and quit changing ammo Whitey

I am still wondering why it took two guys!????

Carried one just like her for years coon hunting. Man those things arecaccurate! Free bump

Opening weekend of rifle season I harvested my 2015 rifle buck (104 inch 5x4 ) and my best buddy harvested a buck with his bow I was off work so I took my 13 year old " camping" and glassing deer. I glassed up a tank so I called a friend with a rifle tag in that unit. The next morning he came out and we relocated the buck. After 4 hours he decided to pass!!! Two days later he decided to go have another look..... Glad he did... He harvested the buck and it scored 112 with 5 inches broken off. I went home for the holidays then back out to help a friend hunt his Dad (70), and Mother (65) We glassed up a buck for Dad on the first day and he made a great shot! The next morning was Moms turn. We glassed many deer and she was able to make a one shot kill with a 300 wsm ( my favorite) at 367 yards It has been a great run; wish I could do it all year long!! I am worn out, and need to restock the havalon blades!!! Whitey

Not sure why the pictures did not post???

I am sending a 4.5x14 Leupold vxL in to have a turret added..... My choices are the CDs or the m1 turret. Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of each Thanks Whitey

I will definitely set up the turret with moa either way I go! ( been down the custom yardage turret before, and will not do it again). Thanks for info guys...

I am sure it has been done plenty of times before, but this was a first for me! It all started the same as it does for most hunters, with a CC hit. My 15year old drew a Muzzleloader bull tag, and my 14 year old had drawn a late rifle bull tag so I only put in for Dec tags. To say I was excited when The results came out online, and saw my name attached to the Dec tag would be the understatement of a lifetime. At any rate, I had spent over 20 days scouting the unit going into the hunt. Had found many bucks, but nothing I was too excited to shoot. On the first day we glassed, and passed on 12 different bucks. Day two, the wether turned ugly. Cold, windy, and rain/ snow. We were able to glass one buck starting to rut a doe. He scored right at 100, but did not go in for a closer look even with my buddies using some choice words to tell me I was less than smart! I was really wanting something bigger and with more character. Later on day two my buddy Jason glassed up three bucks. We watched the bucks bed, but could not truely tell what the biggest buck would score. We knew he was a 5x4 with better than average mass, and spread but could not see eye guards. After watching the bedded bucks for four hours at 297 yards we decided it was time to make him stand up so we could get a better look at him. After a few unsuccessful attempts to get him out of bed we decided to sneek in behind him for a better look. This was a very difficult decisionbecause I was almost certain it was not going to work, and I knew at 297 yards all he had to do is stand up to feed and my 300 wsm would let the air out of him if I thought he was over 110. After a short hike down the canyon my buddy Richie and I were 68 yards from two bedded bucks! Me with a rifle tag and him with an archery tag! As I was getting ready on the shooting sticks the big buck stood up and starting walking up the hill away from us. He looked BIG so I let the 300 wsm eat at 68 yards. This is kind of funny because oncagain I spent countless hours getting the turret all figured out past 1000 yards. As my buck hit the dirt we both instantly looked up the hill to see if the other 3/3 was still there....... As luck would have it he was still bedded, certain we could not see him... Richie drew his bow and successfully harvested his first archery buck ever!!!! Great memories for all involved! I looked at Richie and said, " if we tried to do that 100 times it might work once!" We scored my 5/4 buck that night and got 104 and change... I re scored him when I got home and got 103 and 6/8 my second largest coues todate and second 100 + incher

Any idea what freqyency the channels ate programmed for??? Are they uhf or vhf? Good batteries? Do they last all day? And where are you located? Thanks Whitey

Not much of a story with this one.... My son has had the good fortune to harvest a cow two years ago, and a small 6/6 last year... He asked me going into this year if he should hold out for a big bull this year. I gave him my standard answer; I would but it is your tag. At any rate, after glassing up 11 bigger bulls the two days before the hunt he decided to shoot this bull on opening day! He is happy with it. 300 win mag at 228 yards/ 180 gr accubond. Worked very well! One heck of a pack out ! Whitey

I am considering having the dcs dial/ turret added to a leupold scope that has bc reticle. I would like some input from some of you that have it on a rifle now. How repeatable is the dcs? Ever have the dial turn on accident? Any input would be appreciated! Thanks Whitey

I load the nosler accubond in 300 wsm 300 win, 25-06 , and 270 wsm they have never let me down Good luck

My wife!
