Stallone A.

Ok, we just loaded some new test loads. I will let you know how it goes tomorrow. We are trying Hornady ELD-X and Lapua ? Thanks for all the info guys. Also Thanks to Maximus for giving me Six of your Sierra Game Kings to test out.

I just ordered the new Mathews Halon 32. Now that I bought it, maybe I will get drawn for an Elk tag. LOL Wishful thinking...

Thanks for the PM's guys, Glad you liked it.

Hey Guys, I wanted to share a podcast that I did with my cousin John on hunting with kids. Its called interviews with the Master's on iTunes Episode 8.10 March 4, 2017 https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/interviews-hunting-masters-big-game-hunting-podcast/id1126907414?mt=2&i=1000382198495 I believe there is a lot of good information for young dads trying to get their kids into hunting. Learn from my mistakes. LOL... I apologize for how many times I say you know... (thats what happens when you are just talking with a family member not realizing everyone is hearing you talk. Hope you and enjoy it. Anthony

TTT

The only way to change the draw length to 29in is to change the cams. I don't know what that would cost maybe $50 for cams plus install. If I was you I would look for one that is already set up for a 29inch draw. Many Hoyts have adjustable cams. Hope this helps.

Look at Tikka T3 compact youth model. IMO this is the best gun out there for youths. I have one in .243 and 7mm-08. Both my sons shoot amazing with these guns. Trigger and action are great and they are light wait. Hope this helps.

Can't wait to take my little girl. She already shoots the bow better than me and she is 5... Congrats on a great hunt....

Thanks, for sharing. Nothing wrong with a little prayer...

I will take the 300 RUM RCBS Die Set.

Thats a beast of a buck. Congrats... One of the coolest racks I have seen on a coues buck.

Yes Huskemaw scope. Its very nice.

Wow, What a day to remember. My dad on Christmas day asked my cousin John and I if we could get off of work and come help him get a buck. Of course how could we say NO to the guy that got us into hunting in the first place. A little changing of the work schedule and it was set. We planned on leaving for Tucson at 3am Tuesday morning. My youngest Son wanted to tag along so he jumped in the truck and we were on our way. Three and half hours later we finally got to our spot. It was a short hike to the mountain about a mile from the trucks. We went to a spot that my cousin John and I had hunted since 1999. My cousin said today we are going to see a lot of bucks. Sure enough not 2 minutes of him getting his bino's ready he had deer. I hadn't even got my son or myself set on the Bino's and it was on. First it was a couple of small bucks fighting then he see's two 80in bucks running around chasing Doe's. We get the radio's on and off they go. I stay behind to glass telling him what the bucks are doing as he approaches the area to shoot with my dad and son. As they almost get to the spot to shoot they spooks up 3 Doe's and a 95in Buck. The deer run up the mountain to the right of the other deer. Wow close call but John decides to go after this buck. He tells me on the radio where they ran to and bam I leave the other bucks and I am now glassing for the 95in buck. Sure enough the buck did not go far about 600 yards from where they were. So I explained where they were at and the stalk was on. They got about 450 yards from the buck and my dad takes a shot and misses high. Takes another shot and misses just right. So everything gets spooked out from the shots and we head back to the truck. My dad was so happy that he got a shot off and was able to locate the deer in the scope. Its been tough for him to locate the deer in the scope especially in this type of terrain. So we go back to the truck and eat a little Italian lunch, chicken cutlet and salami LOL... My dad at this point was a little disappointed that he didn't get the buck but was excited to get the opportunity to harvest one. So my cousin John says lets go to another spot and lets see if we could find another buck. As we are driving to the next spot we see a couple of hunters on the side of the road gutting out an animal. My cousin stops the truck and says I think those guys are gutting out a Mountain Lion. So my son and I turn around and go see what they had harvested. There were two young guys around 20 years old and they were gutting out a nice Lion. They said they were on a stalk on a Mule deer and were in the wash when the cat was staring them down. One of the guys was carrying a rifle and shot it. They said it was pure luck and that they had only seen one before while hunting. So we ended up taking a few photos. This was the first time my dad or son ever seen a mountain lion besides in a Zoo. My son thought it was the coolest thing ever and still has not stopped talking about it. So we head to the second spot and within minutes of getting there my cousin finds another group of bucks and Doe's. This is the second time I didn't even have time to get my Bino's from my bag to start glassing and he has already got eyes on deer. Its nice to have a professional hunter in the family I guess LOL. So the second stalk is on, however this time he says we are going to get in close. Instead of taking my gun that my dad was use to shooting he said I am going to have him shoot with my new 300 RUM rifle. (This rifle was custom made for him with a carbon fiber barrel) It ways only 5 pounds at max where mine ways at least 17 pounds. So he takes my dad and son again on the stalk to harvest this buck. The buck was probably 680 yards bedded from us however it took them over an hour and half to get set up. My cousin had got my dad 350 yards from the buck but my dad could not see him through the scope. So he Tells me he is going to get about 250 yards from the deer and to tell him if he starts to look at them. As they get into position a heard of Javelina start to cross right above the buck. At this moment I think the buck was going to get out of his bed and move however he just sat there looking at them as they passed. Then out of the corner of my eye I see two Doe's heading towards the buck. Dam in my mind I was thinking he is going to get up and chase the doe's but he just sat there looking at them. I keep radioing to my cousin telling him what I was seeing. Not 30 seconds after I told him about the Doe's he said we are set to shoot. Next thing I see the deer is jumping out of his bed and blood running down its side. Then 2 seconds later I hear the sound of the shot going off. I here my cousin on the radio you hit him good. I radio back and say Buck is down, Buck is down. This whole day I had been behind the glass and to see this all go down was epic. I couldn't believe my dad shot his first Coues buck. Not only was it his first Coues buck but a very nice one I might say. It is a non-typical 5X4 with some crazy swords. The best thing about the hunt was that my son was able to experience the whole thing. He was so happy for his NONO he started tearing up. My cousin radio's me to come bring them the pack and game bags. I make the hike up to the mountain and get to see this buck up close and personal. I have no clue what he scores and could not care about numbers. He is an awesome looking buck more than we could of asked for. Hope you enjoyed the story. Thanks for reading, Anthony If you want more info on my cousin just look him up his name is John Stallone from Days in the Wild. He also has a podcast interviews with the masters on iTunes. http://www.johnstallone.com https://interviewswiththemasters.podbean.com

Best of the west 300 RUM. It has a Proof Research carbon fiber barrel, even the muzzle Brake is carbon Fiber. The Stock is Carbon Fiber and the bipod is carbon Fiber. Its INSANE... The heaviest part of the whole gun is the scope...

My stupid A**.. LOL Its a tack driver. Never had a rifle shoot so good at any distance. Its killed my last 6 deer and also 2 more for friends. Its not fun to hike with but the best shooting gun I have.

Thanks for sharing your story. Great buck...

Great story, thanks for sharing. I love the smile on her face, it says it all.

I want to say thanks for the story, Just reading this got me all fired up for my son's hunt this coming week. Its alway nice to see how everyone comes together for hunt. Great Job... Congrats to you and your boy...

These are probably the best Bino's for the money. Great price for a good set of Bino's.
