Ain't that the truth.

Guaranteed 5 of 9 AZ Reps will vote for it. How's that make you feel if you live in one of those Districts?? Wish you had your vote back now??

I've had one of these a long time. They do the trick.

What a dandy of a buck! Congrats.

Some very compelling thoughts ... too bad the media is soooo in the tank for Liberalism ... they'll never ask the tough questions.

I have some Binos I would be willing to donate to a young hunter. They belonged to my oldest son, and I recently got him a pair of Nikons. They are Bushnell 10x42 Sportsman's. Not a high dollar item, but if some young hunter (you know ... a kid between the ages of say 10 and 15 who can't really work for their own money) would like to take them for their use, they are up for grabs. The only thing that I would ask is that when they are done with them, they return the favor and pass them down again to another youngster. Also, I have for sale a pair of quad ramps. They are aluminum ramps ... pretty heavy duty (as I had a 750lb quad and am 270lbs myself and they never flexed much). I think I paid $150 for them ... asking $75 OBO.

Nobody wants free binos? How about up to 18 ... I guess in this economy some of those 16-18 year olds don't have jobs either. Come on Junior Hunters ... somebody has to want some binos. They aren't top dollar glass ... but then they are FREE ... so .............

Nice. Make sure you post pictures and your story.

The warden would have a tough time making that stick if the guy was doing it with an unloaded and sheathed rifle. Any time we are driving ... whether it is to a spot to start hiking from, or if we are driving from one good glassing point to another (after some tough days) ... our guns are unloaded and in their scabbards. In fact, with my boys, I always carry the bullets in my pockets until we get somewhere to glass. Maybe we miss a shot opportunity and maybe not, but saftey is always number one. I don't think you can "road hunt" like that. Also don't think there are too many judges that would let that fine stand ... of course, I could be wrong.

Don't know much about the Mossberg. Most factory rifles will benefit from things like bedding, free floating the barrel (if it is not floated), trigger work, etc. I have always liked to break in my barrels (factory ones) to try and smooth them, as they are generally pretty rough compared to custom barrels, but again, I don't know a lot about the Mossbergs. David Tubb makes some pre-loaded "Lapping Rounds" in some specific calibers. I think that .300 Win Mag is one of them. Theoretically, this will make the barrel much smoother/more finished. Just some thoughts. Again ... I don't know a lot about the Mossbergs. I am assuming they are similar in their quality and finish to most other factory rifles from the bigger manufacturers.

I feel ya bud. After years of powerlifting, martial arts and other contact sports abuse on the body, sometimes moving from glassing spot to spot in a truck is necessary. I still get a ways off the road and glass from those spots and then cover ground to get the shortest shot possible, but I wouldn't say that is "road hunting". Especially since it is only when I'm plum tuckered from prior days hunting hard.

I have one of these as well. Very good stick.

I was thinking the same thing. I think I will look up the stat on how many people die per year from alcohol and send it to Costas ... of course that might fuel them to take away my beer, which would be a problem. Liberals ... can't live with 'em ... PASS THE BEER NUTS.

Who is your taxidermist up there?

What a waste. They should have owned up to the mistake and let that meat be used for something productive, rather than leaving it there to rot. As to the Elf ... she isn't a "cow" ... she's just "big boned" :lol: :lol: ... sorry ... had to say it.

+1 What a great example to hunters everywhere.

Good luck to you. Those are nice bucks for sure.

TTT Still for sale.

Gauging interest. My son wants me to sell his first rifle to fund an AR build before Obama takes them away. This is a pretty near perfect Ruger M77 II Compact in 7-08. It has a Van Horn Muzzle Break, Thread Protector, and a Timney Trigger that breaks like glass. Comes with a 3-9x40 Nikon Prostaff with BDC Reticle. I figure we have close to a grand in this rifle new. I will post pictures later. $750 obo.

Good on you trying to find the owner.

PM Member Name BCD and tell him I told you to PM. He just came back from there ... though he had a disappointing outcome. He might be able to give you a few locations where he saw cows though. His boy was hunting bulls, of which they saw none. Weather is a big factor right now. Pretty warm.

Wonder how Costas would feel if he were being mugged going out to his car ... he'd want a gun then wouldn't he. Or maybe he'd want a bodyguard with a gun. What a D_CK!!!

I have been disappointed so far with the elk hunting this year. Not so much that we are not seeing elk (though mostly seeing more deer than anything else) ... but other things. I don't think I have ever seen so many beer cans/bottles, soda cans and water bottles (mostly beer cans) littering the roads as I've seen in 3C this year. We probably spent two hours of the last couple of days stopping and picking things up. At some point I looked at my Dad and said "SCR_W IT ... we are losing hunting time ... I'll have to figure a time to come back up and do a clean up." My wife has suggested bringing our Church Youth back up to help with the task ... one way or the other my boys, my Dad and I will be back up doing it really soon. The other thing I was disappointed with was the standard "Hunter Etiquette" that I always give and expect to receive in return. Four times my Dad and I took the boys to a high point that we wanted to glass, One that I know is good, and where we surely would have seen elk. All four times, someone had beat us there ... so off we went to another spot. Its only right ... first come first serve. That has always been the rule I live by. This morning, we got there very early. We sat in the truck waiting a bit to start off of the point ... it was still dark and cold, and we thought the boys would feel more comfortable waiting in a warmer spot. Our intentions were pretty clear (at least we thought they were). Just as it starts to get light enough to start out, two vehicles pull off the road past us, and get out and start talking about how they are going to proceed. I turned to my Dad and said "Uh ... did that just happen???" After a couple of minutes of discussion over what to do, I started the truck and we left for another spot (with two disappointed boys in tow). I think Dad was surprised that I didn't get out and raise some he_ _. I have not been known for my patience with rude folks in the past (more like the opposite ... super confrontational) ... but I figured with my boys there, better to just drive away and get some hunting in. Maybe I have mellowed a bit too ... which may be a good thing. What the heck has happened??? Am I expecting too much??? I can deal with tag soup if it comes to that, but littering and BS rude behaviour ... just seems kinda wrong.

Costas is a MORON. Friggin' guy was a Linebacker in the NFL ... he could have killed her with his bare hands and cut his wrists or hung himself. Different method, same end result. I've said it a hundred times ... guns don't kill people ... people WITH ISSUES kill people.
