The tent has been spoken for pending funds. Thanks for all the looks and offers... Whitey

I just "re-scoped" a couple rifles, and I was looking hard at the cds. What I learned from the guys at leupold is that the cds has only one full twist of elevation adjustment in the cds scope. He said that in the 270 short I was setting up that would get me out to 500-600 with a 200 yard zero. If that works for you I would go for it. If you want/ need to shoot out past 600 you would need the true "tall" target turret. Whitey

Ask 5 different Game and Fish officers, and you will get 4 1/2 different answers...... On just about any law inforcement topic... Way too much "grey" area....... Sorry in advance if YOU are the one G&F that knows the correct answer. My advice is to go to the Arizona Rev. Statutes and look it up. Whitey

The only thing better than the goat is the fact that your boy was able to be part of the hunt.... Congrats. whitey

Congrats Matt... Stud buck!!! World Record or not, you did with a bow what most can't do with a rifle.. Again Congratulations... whitey ps fobs are still not the $#1t

Congrats. I leave a week from Tuesday to go on a muzzleloader hunt in the same spot you just got back from. (I recognize the lake and the forest service depot) See any bear? Seams like we always see a couple every year. Congrats again.... I think I will take my bow with me as well... Whitey

Congrats on the lion! The chance of seeing him, within bow range, and while at full draw just looking around........ 1:1,000,000 does not even begin to measure it... Congrats again. As far as Taxidermist go my recommendation would be "Ahead of the game taxidermist". He did my lion and did a really nice job. The Number is (623)572-5067 He also does great deer, elk, etc. As far as freezing the lion and then taking it to cattle and carp (game and fish) the best way to do it is to block the mouth open before you freez it. Sound a bit too late for that. If you thaw it out to take in a would not re-freeze it. Just keep it in the fridge or ice chest until you take it into the tax. Whitey

Glock .40 cal mod 22. I think it is the second generation style?? Gun has Trijicon glow in the dark sights ($100 add on) Gun has been shot very little, is in good shape, comes with a 15 round mag, 10 round mag, and a black nylon holster. THIS IS NOT A POLICE TRADE IN! I am the original owner. I will send pics to anyone interested, but it looks like any other glock. $450. As always trade offers are welcomed. Whitey

Just dropped off my Antelope and picked up my 08 Coues deer. Wanted to post some pics of the work. I had Mike at Ahead of the Game do it, and he did a very nice job.. Whitey

+1 on the vx-L with b/c reticle. I have two of the exact scope and like them both a ton. One is on a 300 wsm, and the other on a 270 wsm. Other than a Swarovski, I would not put anything else on them. Whitey

Please tell me you decided to shoot the xforce on your elk hunt.... Whitey

Anyone need a good sidearm?? Sold. Thanks for the looks.. Whitey

Stainless Ruger Blackhawk .357 mag with a 6 1/2 inch barrel. I have had the gun for 5 years or so, but have probably shot it less than 50 time. I carried it on many hunts, but shot it very little. (Usually shoot a .44 mag or a shorter .357) At any rate I will take $450 for it picked up in North Phoenix. I will include a leather Hunter holster and cartridge belt. ASSSSSSSS always, I love to trade so shoot me some offers. (Varmint rifles, scopes, binos ????) Thanks for the look, and pm any offers. Whitey GUN HAS BEEN SOLD.

I say shoot everyone you see, any time of the year.. Whitey

I'll pack it out piece by piece for the right price........ Good luck huntin Whitey

Love it. If you don't think A higher power had something to do with that......... You would be wrong. I have 3 boys. Oldest is 8. I am counting the days.... Whitey

I don't ever want to shoot one with a rifle again! Whitey

Congrats.

Quick question for you reloaders out there; what all do you do to brand new brass before you load it for the first time?? Full resize makes sence to me, but would this decrease the number of reloads you will get by one? Could you/ should you just neck size?? I plan on deburring the flash hole, cleaning up the primer pocket and all that. Let me know. whitey

Just finished em up. I went ahead and did everything... Full length resize, trimmed, and cleaned up everything. going to load up some 130 gr. accubonds, and see how they shoot. If they can match the 300 wsm I might try it on coues this year.... Whitey

Brian, stud deer! Congrats Whitey

What do you mean "score" I just hunt for the meat!!!!!!!! 104 5/8 Whitey

Just got back from a New Mexico antelope hunt. Wanted to post some pics. I will follow up with a story later. All I can say for now is we killed two, made some good friends, and one of us (not me) ended up in the hospital for an emergency surgery. (little slip of the knife) Whitey Here is a picture of mine..... Thanks for all the + feedback and pm's The story behind the hunt goes a bit like this: We arrived in springer New Mexico around 1:30 am. After finding a place to rack up for a couple hours, myself and my long term friend Brandon Frost attempted to grab a power nap.... We were up at 4 a.m., and as planned met up with the ranch forman of the ranch we were hunting at 4:30. I was under the impression that antelope hunting consisted of driving around in the truck until a good buck was spotted, put a little stock on it and let it eat. I can say I was pleasantly surprised when we parked the truck, and walked in while it was still dark. ("felt like a coues deer hunt, kind of") We were glassing from a short mesa as the sun came up. We looked at 30+ goats within the first 20 min. One was a good buck (80-82 inches) However, he was on the wrong side of the fence. Bandon wanted to watch him in hopes that he would jump the fence, and come to water on our ranch. I decided to walk about a mile across the mesa and glass off the north end. I looked at appox 25 bucks, and countless does within 30-40 min. I was all set to put the stock on a pretty good buck when the ranchhand (Manuel) said in broken English< " Blanc, wat bout these won?. I looked over at he buck he saw, nd said something that I should not repeat in this story, but basically said let's go. We ran across the valley, dropped into a drainage and up a short mesa. After topping out of the first mesa, we stopped and caught our breath. I told Manuel to stay there, and I crawled up to the top of the second mesa. I stretched my neck as far as I could, and there he was bedded 100- 140 yards away......... I did not want to be that close, but what do you do? Well what you do is get busted by two smaller bucks that I did not even see. They took off to he south. I backed out away from the good buck, and crawled around the mesa I was on towards the little bucks. I set my 300 win mag up on the bipod, (I know not quite enough gun for an antelope, but it is all I could afford), leveled it out with a rock, and here came the big buck. I did not have enough time to range the shot, but I knew it was aroung 200 yards. (It was 223 by range finder) One well placed shot and he was down taking a dirt nap........ (skip ahead 10 min) As we were taking pictures and high fiving we spotted another buck. My hunting parter Brandon went over and shot that buck at around 200 yards (off hand) with his 257 weatherby mag. While gutting the goat Brandon cut his hand to the bone, severing two tendons in his hand........ I would like to say this is when the fun began, but it was not. I got stuck taking care of both antelope, and Brandon drove himself to the hospital for a surgery on his hand. All and all a great trip for both of us..... I think..... Good hunting ... Whitey

Myself and my good friend Dave are both having the same issue. Here is the deal: bullets in the magazine are getting deformed when the bullet in the pipe is shot. I shoot a 300 win mag, and he shoots the 300 wsm. We both load the Nosler Accubond bullet. After the first shot the bullets in the box mag are getting flattened on the tip, and he thinks his are getting seated deeper in the case....... What do you think. Is this going to effect shot 2 and 3? How do you fix it. (other than loading one shot at a time) Anyone else had this same problem??? I have never noticed this before because I load one at a time at the range. Any input would be appreciated..... Whitey

WOW! Pics look like crap.... Don't do it justice at all. Maybe I should have invested in a new digital camera. O well, Whitey
