Very nice, congrats and well done. Welcome.

My son won a RMEF Youth 700 in 243 about 15 years ago when I took him to the youth camp at Morman lake. He is now 28 and 6'2 but still likes to tote it around. I'm sure he wouldn't mine if she borrowed it for her hunt if you don't come up with one. It's light and accurate.

Heck of a read, I can see both sides. Still not sure where I'll end up but looking forward to getting out and having four days off of work.

Every unit has it's challenges. I was going to head out in the morning to scout but my truck had other plans. Still plan to go on sunday and get in as much scouting I can before heading back down on thursday. Better than no tag.

Love finding old stuff. I have found remnants of foundations and old dishes. Also found old cables and train tracks.

I heard next week

Finally up

Still waiting for mine to update but my son and I drew turkey and I drew a pig tag.

In the 90's I would run across the same female every year down in 29.

What would be the velocities of those two say at 500 and 750 yards?

Coyote season is upon us. I have two of these and unlike most other AR's this will fire everything out there from the good stuff to steel case Tula.

I've had to cut wire fences before.

That stinks. What did you do to get out?

There are roadless areas where you can hike your tail off, thank god.

I'm interested in the 243. Can you PM me the info?

I am looking to get my son a scope for his birthday with a $300 budget that will be mostly used for Squirrels. The 3x9 that came with it is an el cheapo and doesn't cut it. I have a Leupold 2x7x33 Shotgun/Muzzeloader on my Nylon 66 and it works just fine for me. I think 3x9 is overkill for squirrels since most shots are 40 yards max, more like 15 to 25 yards. What are you using?

I'm in and out of the office most of the time so PM me as to what times are good for you.

I work on 10th Place and will buy coffee and two donuts of your choice for the base. LOL

Tough choice. I think he would understand. My son bought himself a Tristar a few years ago. Has been a great gun. I did have to replace the o ring and got it at ACE along with a few spares. I believe it is the same one used on the 1100.

Stop stressing over it. Take what you have left and go hunt. Buy something close and if you run out resightin. A different lot won't hit the same spot anyway. Good Luck on your hunt BTW.

When Barnes came out with the X-Bullet I loaded some 120's in my Savage. I think it was 69 grains of RL19 or 22. Anyway they were about 3400 and I smacked a 3x3 high up in 29, maybe 220 yds. DRT Didn't even flop. Side canyon shot, he was about 30 yards lower facing away. Bullet hit about the 4th rib back and went through the backstrap and out the left side near the elbo. Lost a golfball size of meat. Boned it out, gutless method. I was alone and put him in my frame pack and hiked from 6400 down to the bottom of horseshoe at 4600w here we were camped. Should have rented a camcorder and saved it for Youtube. I would have been famous as the Godfather of the gutless method. LOL Taught lots of other newbies I mentored way back then when I had time to do that. Late December tags were close to 800 for 29 and some years you could get a second rifle tag. Mexican Gray Wolves were commonplace. Never needed to be reintroduced. I ofter wondered if that white Couse that G&F had a picture of in the lobby with a few other deer was the same one I chased for a few years. Talk of the town in Paradise, back in the day.

Well done. Hope you have many more years of hunting them to come.

My brother turns 60 on Friday. He wants to stay at the Bellagio so he can see the fountains but after looking at prices he thinks he will stay at the MGM. I spoke to one of my sisters and assigned her the chore of getting prices for five rooms for the first and second there and then maybe MGM on Sunday since we will blow out on Monday. Little does he know but we will make his wish happen so any insight info on how to pull this together would be really appreciated.

I thought about putting this in the Campfire but since it was more toward cooking I'll post it here. https://honest-food.net/on-trichinosis-in-wild-game/

THat would be great to use around a ranch or farm.
