  1. Makes zero sense try and squeeze an extra 50 or 75 fps MV out the 08 at whatever distance you are trying to compensate for. That 50, 75, 100 really isn't giving you more than powder burned and recoil and will mean didly squat. Focus on the bullet jacket and what velocity it will expand at. 7-08 is a medium velocity cartridge unless you are loading 100grners in a 24" barrel. Good Javelina load.

    Coues Summer Scouting

    In my experience they "Bach Up" in Mid August to Mid September.

    Coues Summer Scouting

    A day not scouting is a day wasted. Take a pack and stay out all day, just as if you were actually hunting. Find deer, return to that area over and over on other trips. Monsoor season is a perfect time to scout, walk washes and look for tracks the morning after a rain. Pack one of those foldable military shovels to dig out water holes. Start a journal! Staples sells hardbound 4'x8" ones. Get ONX and a good GPS. You can varmint call the areas too, once you make a few trips and familiarize yourself with the area. Summertime trips, take an extra spare and a can or two of Flat Fix. Toss a case of H20 in your vehicle, let someone know where you are going and when you plan on returning. Cell Phone Boosters are nice to have.

    Urban snakes

    Pretty snake. Reminds me of a Corn Snake. I had lots of snakes as a kid. One year my dad suprised me with a 4' Florida Indigo that he probably ordered out of the back of Outdoor Life. I fed it Garter Snakes.

    6.5PRC or 7WSM

    Then you will be fine with 143's or 147's. No need to load 156's or go to a longer action.

    Be careful lifting

    That sucks. You're a big guy so go EZ and eventually you'll get there. Everyone wants to be Anatoly but nobody wants to do 500 situps and pushups a day, which is really just a start.

    So how does that happen? If Fat Chicks are involved NO PICS!

    Coues Deer Distribution Across AZ....

    I knew two hunters that used binos back then to "glass". We're talking late 80's early 90's. One had Doctors the other used Swarovski. No fancy scopes as a long shot was 300-400 yards. Quads and SXS are the bain of civilization.

    Sold

    I would be interested in one if someone buys the lot.

    What action do you have?

    6.5PRC or 7WSM

    6.5 PRC all day long but not in a short action if you are going to reload. The Hornady factory 147 ELD is about as good as it gets. Hard to improve on that. It is way more accurate than most people behind the trigger. The better the optics can get you clean kills past 800 yards. Whatever action you choose it will need a magnum bolt face.

    Length is about right. I haven't been a 33 for 10 years. No I'm not a Hobbit.

    Rain, anyone?

    Rained at my place in Mesa on Sunday night for about two minutes. Just enough to stir up the dust on my hood and windshield.

    Just go to the Classifieds section at the bottom of the Forum. Click on Start New Topic and make a new post. The Moderators should just move your post but they never do.

    What's for dinner tonight?

    Habernaro may be the tastiest of all peppers other than Chipoltes. You just need to sample your current crop as soil types, temperature and where the parent seeds came from all affect it. I always grown plants from the seeds of the peppers and tomatoes I buy in the supermarket. When I pick the peppers if they are too hot for what I am going to use them for I leave out the pith and seeds. You can par boil/blanch the flesh then drain the water to get rid of some of the heat. With hot peppers I will prep them first to get them to the level I want them before I use them in a dish which can take a while. For me there is no specific method as it varies as to what use is. The same pepper can be used in a salsa that will curl your ears or a almost bland omlet that you taste five seconds after you swallow it.

    Gone at 41. No info as to what other than "severe illness". I did a lot of racing in my youth so I can relate to anyone needs to feel the need for speed and that exhilaration. Prayers for his family and crew.

    SHEEP DRAW 2026 $$$$$$

    I don't think knee pads would even help. Might be cheaper to go to Baja or an Ibex hunt in Spain if you're physically able, deep pockets go hunt Marco Polo or poor mans goat in Hawaii.

    Cost of A/C replacement

    You probably already know this but don't go with the cheapest.
