That is odd. Typically a lion of coyote will go for the throat.

There is no shortage of Lions up there.

Congrats to him. Was he shooting hollowpoints and how far was the shot and what kind of penetration did he get?

Go see your Doc and get the patch. They don't sell the pill form anymore, which was faster acting. Seaforth is great. They will also rent you rod and reels, mates will clean and bag your fish. If you decide to take a trip into Mexican waters bring a passport.

I have never hunted Mearns but have seen them a few times in the wild. It is amazing how close you can get to them. We had one sitting on the side of the road a couple of years ago in Sonora just a few feet from the truck and just sat there while we took pictures.

X2. Congrats.

These? https://www.amazon.com/Unionbay-Stretch-Cargo-Black-30x32/dp/B01I0PREVY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1508707416&sr=8-5&keywords=union+bay+cargo+pants

Well I checked and all I have are the rings. I bought the rifle from someone on here maybe 3 or 4 years ago and was given some spare parts but as it turns out it was just an extra set of rings and not rings and bases.

Get the Leupold rear base that has windage adjustment. I may have one for a pre 64 and can send it to you if you want. These are the only bases I ever use except for the Talley Light Weight bases.

Most loads for 308 use a moderately fast powder and it typically doesn't see much extended long range, 500yds plus. With that said, for me I would be looking at 20-22" barrels for both asthetics and handling.

Chad just got a new Haas machine, donated his old machine to the local HS. He did my 700 bolt (Wrought Iron Flute) and turnaround was about a week and I had him skeletonize it. That was done on his old machine. Now that he has the Haas he is also running a special until January, 40% off so the Savage bolt he just did (Interrupted Flute) took about 3 weeks. You will need to go online and create an account then pick the bolt model and style of flute you want. When you checkout put NEW HAAS in as the Promo Code. I sent my bolts USPS Priority Mail on Saturday and he gets it on Monday.

I'm not sure if this is out yet and Hornady has not released the velocity yet but it looks like it could be "fur friendly". https://www.hornady.com/ammunition/rifle/223-remington-73-gr-critical-defense#!/

So if Load A is 100fps faster than Load B at the muzzle what would the difference be at say 200, 500 or 1000yds?

A good friend was told all the powder burns in 16-18" in a 30-06, so he cut off the barrel to 18" to save weight and then added a brake to cut recoil in his son's 30-06. It is a much louder and flashier SOB than his wife's 22" 30-06 with brake. The powder may have burned, but the gasses are still expanding in a longer barrel to provide fps. Many,many years the High Power Silhouette State Championship was held in Yuma and there was a guy from California who brought a 308 with an 18" barrel. You didn't want to be anywhere near him when it went off. Heck of a fireball though in the evening. I don't remember what his load was.

Cool looking bear. Congrats on the streak.

Good luck. Looks like great country.

That's a good idea, is it canvas or cloth? I have a heavy duty vinyl tarp I put down underneath the tent.

I have the same model less side windows. Great tent.

Great buck and I like the grain on it. Did you make it yourself, maple? I have a Nov hunt in the same unit and will start scouting in a week.

How tall is it from the bottom of the gun storage part to the top?

Happy Birthday Amanda, hope you are enjoying your day. Today is also my son's, my nieces and my nephew is at the hospital with his wife expecting their first hopefully sometime later today.

Congrats guys.

Great story and one heck of a buck.

Great buck! I find that if I post from my phone sometimes they get posted sideways.

Somebody hook him up with Nature Girl.
