Both coaches won with previous coaches recruits. Now that it is all there's, they cant do crap. The Pac-12 as a whole doesn't look good this year to start

sent you a message yesterday

Wow, nice ram! So I always hear that sheep aren't hard to hunt but the area they stay in is the hard part. Would you agree? Is that the Black River 27 hunt?

It seems those who've had issues with the vmax have only had the issue in 223. 22-250 and others it seems to do just fine. I'm gonna try a mixed bag of soft points and hollow points of different brands and weights and go from there. 55 being lightest and 69 the heaviest I'll try.

GreyGhost- What was the result? Liquid insides? Did it hit bone or no? I think hitting an area like a shoulder is the big difference in these types of bullets(Vmax etc). Seems like they are lethal in even bone hits but they don't kill or drop the animal immediately as opposed to exploding on the inside when they penetrate.

To add to this topic. Been reading on a few other sites about V-max bullets and some having an issue with them blowing up to shallow on the dogs or splashing as some called it, and not dropping them dead immediately. Anyone else heard of this or had this issue? Seems a lot love it but some absolutely hate the vmax for those reasons stated.

Prvi is actually good ammo for what it cost. Generally seen it as bulk cheap ammo but it does better then that. I know some of the 308 match ammo from them shoots really good. A lot better the most ammo snobs would ever think it could. I think I could push this gun to 300 yards with legit expectations but realistically most coyotes seem to come well under that so I don't see much shooting at that distance.

Anyone using 55gr on 1 in 7 twist barrel(AR)? Seen many people(AR15.com) who say they use them with great results and others not as much. Figure maybe going up to 62,64 or even 69 grain.

As mentioned, chicken wire does nothing for predators and you have to go into the ground with fencing or go out about a foot or so along the entire perimeter. Depending on your setup, Id use those welded horse panels from tractor supply then line the lower 2 ft or so with wire mesh.

ACLU complaining about it. Go figure ETA: ACLU says unconstitutional, for a choice they(inmates) control yet getting the full sentence instead of taking a responsible avenue is just fine. How our a$% backwards world operates is beyond me

Vortex used to ask for discretion about the discount program but not anymore it seems. Not sure why before and not now. I would think its good advertising showing you support those in uniform. Maybe that's why they changed.

This is gonna be worse then the Nuttall Fire in 2004. Its at 21,000 acres as of today and with 110 degree temps in Safford and blowing wind, steep terrain, its not in favor of the forest service putting it out or anywhere close anytime some. To bad they couldn't get to it when it was a small brush fire for the first few days.

Thinking of camping sometime this summer with the kids somewhere different. Kinda like the idea of being able to fish bass, catfish and trout all in the same lake. Usually camp near Alpine/ Big Lake but thought about changing it up this year. Any thoughts on Fools Hollow/Show Low lake or any others nearby? Camping area??

Anyone fish near Point of Pines area on the Black river??

Interested in selling the one piece scope mount separate? Is it for 1inch or 30mm? Thanks

That lake could be one of the best in the entire southwest if they took care of it right

DFM- No, speak your mind. Even if its not all rainbows and butterflys. Life's to short to not be honest.

Prdtr- Never fished San Carlos from the bank but know some who have and still killed it. Used to go out every March or so with my dad on his boat and would literally take my pole out of the water to stop from catching fish to take a break. Minnows and Jigs. Even caught two at once more then a few times on a Eagle Claw crappie rig. I am an average at best fisherman who goes sometimes long periods without even touching a rod and reel and still caught them like crazy. Lots of fun. Permits used to be available in Safford area but I hear that is scare now too. Not sure what is going on.

Nelson used to be overrun with crawdads it seemed but heard its gotten better. Havent fished there in years. A lot of good advice(rainbow powerbait, worms on the bottom, etc) on here that Ive used that has worked well at Big Lake, other then don't go on Memorial Day weekend, it becomes Phoenix 2.0, lol

I believe 22-250 has been tried on the AR platform but there was issues and I cant quite remember what it was. DPMS does some different caliber ARs. One in 243 would be fun.

My ultimate coyote gun would be a relatively simple, accurate, reliable and easy to point rifle. Oh and somewhat cheap. Perhaps a self built AR with a 16" or 18" barrel. Freefloated handguard and collapsible stock. Or a bolt action like a Ruger American, Savage AXIS or something like that. 3-9x40 for the scope and chambered in a common caliber of 223 or 243 or similar. I want to kill as many coyotes in a day as possible and be able to move often. No bull barrels. Done that before, never again. Each stand would be 15-20 minutes max unless hunting cats specifically other then that I want the gun to be quick handling so If I see animals in between stands, its easy in and out of the vehicle. Thinking of doing a Palmetto State Armory build but not sure yet.

Sold- Please Delete For Sale Remington 700 sps 243. Very low round count. $400 located in Safford/ Thatcher area. Consider 223 as trade, no heavy barrel rifles.

Looking at getting a bigger tent for the whole family, 5 people total. 2 adults, 3 kids. I've researched a ton. Got an idea but like to hear others suggestions, experiences. Everyone will be on a cot or 2 will be on the coleman queen air mattress cot. 3 season tent. White mountains during summer so it needs to take be able to handle rain. Wont be cold weather camping. Thought about a canvas tent, not the wall outfitter type. Bushnell 18x11 gets good reviews for a bigger tent. So does the bigger Coleman Instant tents, and some of the Wenzels(never heard of them before). Any thoughts??

Ill post pics once I use which is soon hopefully. I like the idea of this tent more and more. Canvas and easy setup, best of both worlds.
