    Firearm insurance and home security

    That's how it works since they already settled with you they now are the owner, say thing when a car gets stolen and they pay you a settlement and car gets recovered a few weeks after you have been cut a check.

    Labs

    That stinks, I really like the way the English Labs look though, good luck on your search. I have some friends over there if you can't find one here.

    Alaska moose hunt

    Well, I like being to get back to a cabin or shack each day, or at least a tent. No bear fence? Does that motor have a prop? What bag did you have along?

    6A newbie

    One year I passed on an old 5x5 bull in the bottom on a canyon in 23 because he was walking uphill to my left at about 40 yards and I didn't feel comfortable with the shot with my skill as an archer on a moving target. A few years later up in 12AW I passed on a easy shot on a tall 4x4 as he ran across a meadow about 50 yards away on opening morning of rifle season because I felt there were bigger deer to be had. Next day weather moved in and I didn't have another opportunity the rest of the hunt, so it goes. No regrets just memories and I'd do the same thing if presented with the same situation.

    getting in early am

    I have a headlamp but usually it is off and I have a LED flashlight that is about 850 lumens that I hold on to and keep it on the lowest setting. Less glare than the headlamp and seems to work ok for me.

    Brand new hunter

    Bass fishing for a beginner...

    Bass AKA Green Carp are no problem with a spinning reel so your GTG. I really like P-Line Floroclear line. If you decide to get a baitcaster any of the Abu Garcia Record Reels is what I would choose.

    What do do with my elk head in camp

    Bag it with some ice. It will be OK.

    What do do with my elk head in camp

    Just get the water to a boil and put it in but don't keep it boiling or the teeth can come out. Let it sit for an hour then use a coat hanger to get the brains out and to clean out the nasal passages. Then repeat it again. I have also heard of people using a pressure washer but I don't know at what PSI.

    Gun hates me

    Cerrosafe the bore. Are you using a chronograph? I've had good results with RL-22 staying just under MOA which is fine since I haven't shot anything past about 250 yards with it since I bought it in the early 90's. Same gun.

    Method of sighting in

    Without turrets or a ballistic graduated reticle I just sight in 3" high at 100 and call it good.

    Tire pressure for towing?

    I'd say you are running too much tire and could probably be fine with Load Range D. If the E's are designed for 80 I would never run them less than 65. I don't know what kind of trailer you have but is it weighs 5K you really, really, really want to put a brake module on it especially considering you are towing with a vehicle that has such a shot wheelbase. How many pounds of pressure are the rims rated for? Probably only 65. When you are towing, especially in hot weather you should check the pressure again after 50 miles or so as the tires will heat up and the pressure will increase as much as five pounds. If you are running the pressure too far below the recommended pressure it is going to increase the drag and make the tire heat up even more. If the tire pressure is low you will loose integrity of the sidewall and increase the amount on give in it which is a very bad thing especially if taking a turn at high speed since the sidewall will initially give as you increase the G Force going into the turn and the tire grip will be delayed because the sidewall isn't rigid/stiff enough to prevent the inevitable delay. If you are not going to keep them reasonable inflated you are better off running D's and keeping them at 55psi. Tongue weigh is something that the dealer can tell you for the trailer. You can also use chalk and put a line across the tread and see if the complete tread pattern is contacting the road. I have an F250 and Have TOYO's in E that are rated for 65 and keep them at 60.
  18. BigBrowns and I met up with Rossislider and his son early this morning and waited for the sky to get light. It started off slow and gradually we had a pretty steady flight of Mourning Doves for a couple of hours before it became about even with about 50% of the birds being White Wings but by that time we were close to out limits. I ended up with 14/1 using my Winchester Model 12, good news was no snakes. It was impressive to watch Rossislider's 11 yo son nailing birds, that kid has a great attitude and a lot of potential.
  19. Another couple of years he will be out shooting us all.

    Is it Legal to use a fox pro to call for elk?

    I guess you'll have to explain that sometime to those of us who don't play.

    Browning full 16 Special steal 1929

    It has FULL stamped on the barrel.
  22. That is how I used to find places to hunt. I would be looking all summer and would even go to places on the weekends and sit and wait for it to get light and then stay for an hour or so. I burnt a lot of gas but it usually paid out. I gave that advice to a co-worker a while back but he decided to go to his usual place just north of Florence and was very disappointed this past weekend as the birds just weren't there this year for him and his son. They only scored about five between them so he is going to have his work cutout for himself this weekend. He thinks it may partially be due to the abundance of water.

    Roosevelt Lake looks like a pond

    I was reading an article on this not long ago, I had no idea we did this. Lots of people don't realize it. I have seen quite a few boats listing on one side in shallow water in the back part of Saguaro because they had their boat too close to shore at night.
  24. I would have said something to them about reminding them to pick up their shells and birds, but then I have a big mouth. LOL Thanks for keeping the place clean.
