Great buck and well earned. Good memories. You'll be telling that story around the campfire for years to come.

My buddy witnessed a nice 6x6 with several cows, bugling and chasing. Had a couple satellites bugling around him. This was near Willow Springs Lake Saturday evening.

My buddy shoots this round and is having trouble finding HSM brand. He has talked to them about this. Apparently it is a low demand round, so they don't manufacture much. What they do produce is sent to retailers. Any reliable resources to buy this ammo? Thanks

Found it. Thanks!

Here is a link to the service manual download. I don't remember if its the same one I got it from years ago. Hope it works. http://www.mymowerparts.com/pdf/Arctic-Cat-ATV-Repair-and-Service-Manuals/

Btw - I'm sure you already know...Bass Pro is a AC dealer and repair shop. That's where I get my parts.

There is a vacuum pulse fuel pump. I believe it is mounted under the seat. It is about 2" round, fairly flat, black. If you replaced all the fuel line, you should have seen it. I replaced mine once, thinking it was the problem. Didn't fix it so I had to rebuild the carb due to bad gas. Now I have an extra. Mine is a 2005 500 IFS. PM me your email address and I will send you that section. I couldn't attach it to this post because it is a 8.6M file. Here is a snip of the diagram. The pump is #9.

Your inbox is full. http://store.iqmetals.com/65x284norma.aspx Thanks! Dang...that stuff is expensive...not to mention shipping. I keep telling him he may need to switch to Nosler.

Sorry...I cleaned out my PM's

Huh, my quick search shows only Midway and Cabela's have it in stock. I'll let him know.

OK...I haven't done a search this week. When he/I searched early last week, everyone was out of stock. HSM must have finally caught up. Thanks, I'll check again.

The Shield 9mm is a great option. Very concealable and naturally points to POA.

I know nothing about reloading, but check this. My buddy ran into this when ordering ammo for his 6.5x284 Norma. The new HSM ammo looked different...shorter overall length. He did research and found there is also a 6.5x284 Winchester. The bullet length is shorter and seated deeper. Also there is a slight difference in the cartridge shoulder dimensions. There was no identification on the box...no Norma, no Win. The correct stuff has Norma on the box.

Thanks. Here's the link to my writeup on this hunt. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/70410-got-it-done-mondayall-day/

I wasn't sure if I would like the Kuiu 3200 over my Outdoorsmans Optics pack, but it performed quite well last December, packing out a boned mature coues, gear, and rifle...probably around 85 pounds.

Looks like it's just their Outlet inventory with limited sizes.

I used to make several trips to San Diego to visit my son when he was stationed there. I did some research on it to be sure. Gun and ammo does not need to be in separate compartments, just unloaded. The gun/mag must not accept more than 10 rounds. Both must be in a locked case while inside the car and while being transported between car and building, or locked in the trunk. At first, the only low cap handgun I had was my wife's 5-shot .38, so that's what I took. After I got her (me) a Shield 9mm, that is what I took. I carried as usual until Yuma, then unloaded and put gun and mags in a lockable pistol case on the rear floor, in reach. I had a small luggage-type padlock on it, dangling open for quicker access. I figured if I got stopped, I would reach back and push the lock closed. This is how I understood the law, and what I did to transport. Research it yourself to be sure. - P.S. I am really glad I don't have to go to Cali anymore!

^^^ That's what I'm thinking.

I'd like to check them out. What do they look like? What is the actual name of them? Can you post a picture? Maybe a pic of the label?

Wow! Nice bucks!

Congrats!! Very cool thing you guys did.

Very cool!!

This idea has come to mind several times over the years. Years ago I was on Sheriff Joe's posse...Search & Rescue. I once mentioned to a G&F officer the idea of a similar posse program. He wasn't keen on the idea at all. I think an "eyes and ears" program could work. Maybe be issued a radio. Go through some training. No way we would be allowed to detain or issue citations/warnings. G&F are spread so thin, I would think they would be receptive to some kind of help...but that would cut into the budget.

Looks like the two are now one, keeping the same names and brands: https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/together?cm_sp=CblAqSep2017_EMAIL&om_rid=ALolYI&om_mid=_BZyXVaB9gegzhE

Doesn't really matter to me anyhow. I like Sportsmans Warehouse best.
