WTT 1.5 kt brand new diamond ring for hunting items????
lionhunter replied to lionhunter's topic in Classified Ads
Ring has been sold thanks -
Alright guys, this is what I am thinking.... I won this brand new 1.5 total weight diamond on white gold ring at z 's jewelers. It is brand new, and never been sized. I would like to trade it for hunting items equaling similar value. The ring sold retail for $1,500 bucks. ( yes I have authorized replacement cert for insurance purposes) With Christmas right around the corner, I thought someone out there might have hunting items they don't need and want to surprise the wife with a gift of a life time...... I am interested in any/ all firearms, high end optics, and archery equipment. Pretty much any hunting items worth similar value..... Or item plus cash to make it rt. either way.. All offers will be entertained, so don't be shy.... The worse I can say is no thanks Please pm all offers, Thanks

nosler partition long range bullet?
lionhunter replied to couesmagnet's topic in Long Range Shooting
I agree that the nosler accubond is the way to go! I have tried most of them and now shoot the accubonds in a 300 win, 300 wsm, and 270 wsm. They fly great and work fantastic on impact! Good luck Whitey -
Thanks for all the info guys!!! I think I am going to sell on my long range rifles and go back to a 30-30 open sight!!!!!

In the past month ballistic calculations have been a huge topic of conversation between my hunting buddies and myself!!! I have worked up several different loads, researched many different bullet options, set up a mark 4 8.5x25 on my go to rifle and advised a friend on setting up his rifle for a sheep hunt... At any rate, we noticed that different ballistic comp programs would spit out different wind and and drop data when given the same inputs. After hours of research and problem solving it comes down to barametric pressure and bc being calculated in different ways... Word to the wise for those of you calculating your drops..... Be posssitive about how your bullet manufacture calculates the bc on your bullet ( g1 or g7), be sure that the program you use it set to the same bc, and make sure that the barametric pressure is measured in the same way from where you are abstaining your info and the program you enter it into! It will make a difference! That being said....... I am 90% sure that nosler lists their bc in g7 measurements, but I want to be sure. Can anyone verify this??? Thanks Whitey

I could use 100 , but would settle for whatever you might have . Just checked on Saturday.... Sportsmans had 180 and 165, but no 150 ab Thanks Whitey

With that said, if I were starting over I think I would try 140 accubonds! Good luck Whitey
-
130 ab in front of 64 grains of imr 4350. Work great for me! Killed a coues two mule deer ( one at 450) and an elk this year. Fly out of my gun at 3340. Good luck Whitey

what windshield do you run on your polaris ranger
lionhunter replied to Bucks N Bulls's topic in The Campfire
I have tried them all and did not like any of them. I have a canvas top and no windshield and love it. Get wet when it rains and if it is cold I layer up and slow down. -

Hunter's hunt started on wed afternoon with some scouting. In 40 mph winds we did not see a deer..... Thursday morning we were out in the rain before sun light. We did not see a deer one... The rain stopped around 11 and the deer were everywhere... Hunter said he wanted a coues deer and would not shoot a mule deer even though his tag was for any antlered deer. We found this buck Thursday night we glassed up a monster bear, so I went after it... Along the way, my 300 wsm got banged up pretty baddly. I got 622 from the bear but no shot; it got dark. After a pretty scetchy climb out of a bad spot I finally returned to the ranger around 9:00 Friday morning we hiked into our glassing spot in the dark. After glassing several small bucks and a ton of does my buddy Jay said the magic words, I have two good bucks". The deer were over two miles away. After a good hike we were sitting 540 yards from a 110 and a 90 inch buck. My son hunter laid down behind the 300 wsm And I dialed it up for 550. Jay kept saying what a huge buck it was, and I gave him the shut up look! First shot... Hits high! I was sure itwas hunt and not the gun. Second shot hits just over the deers back! The big buck walks up the hill slowly and beds. The second buck beds next to him. We regroup and reload. The bucks are now at 578 yards bedded. We have a quick chat about the first shots... Hunter says, " dad i was rock solid! Your gun is off. I said, " impossible"! We take one more shot and yep you guessed it, just high. The 110 5x4 buck walks off into a thick. To my surprise the 90 inch just stayed bedded. After more discussion about trying to find the big buck later hunter decided to shoot the smaller buck. At 578 I dialed my gun for 500 due to all the high shots. Wack.. Done deal. We did not get the 110, but what a great memory! We hiked the dear out and checked the gps. 4.9 miles. I would say he earned it. I want to thank Jay wyatt for all his help. I would never tell him, but he is a glassing machine! I shot the gun at a target today and it was 5 inches high at 200 yards! Mad is an understatement.... O well. Good times had by all. Good times, good memories!

Good question? I have three boys so I have wrestled with this very thing. I agree that it should be up to the kid, but let's face it their opinion is often a reflection of ours. My 13 year old gets caught up in the 100 inch or nothing conversations that some of my buddies have..... At any rate, we have always gone with get one under your belt first, and then leave it up to the kid. This last hunting season my son (13) started the hunt saying 100 inch or nothing... After missing a 110 plus on opening day he chose to shoot a 91 inch buck. At the end of the day he was pleased with his deer!! We were able to get my best friends son a 102 a couple of years ago 20 min into his first day ever coues hunting. Now he thinks it's easy.. Final comment.... Leave it up to the kid
