Beautiful pups.

Yup. I was in trying to get them to budge a little on A Swarovski Z5. Didn't work there or at BP or Cabelas. I ended up coming back up later that afternoon with my son, since it was for him and getting it then. I mounted it for him and he went out yesterday and sighted it in.

Happens. I've had my fair share of empty tags too.

Congrats man. I hate when regular stuff interrups hunting season.

I'm no expert but I believe a minnie ball need a faster twist than a patched round ball.

It took him quite a bit of practice to get up to that speed and I believe they run compressed air under the hide to loosen it first. Can't remember all the details when I first saw this posted around this time last year but he is fast. That place processes a lot of deer every year.

Nice buck.

Good looking deer, big congrats to you two.

December hunt, new to coues but not to hunting
PRDATR replied to moorehunter86's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
I think the start of the Rut will come a bit earlier than last year but full on is last few days of December into January. -
That's stinks. Thanks for the heads up.

Ended up getting the Z5.

So about 10 years ago I bought my young son a Tikka 695 in 30.06 and it is a great gun. Shoots MOA with factory ammo (because I'm too lazy to breakout the reloading stuff). The first scope it wielded was a 2-7X Leupold VX1. A few years ago I put a used 3-10X Zeiss Conquest on it I bought off of CWT. He told me today he would like a new scope, mo powa too and he told he was looking at a (ahem-puke) Vortex Crossfire. I took a deep breath and told him I would see what Camera Land has. Then I let him look through a Zeiss HD Conquest I got from Neil last year and told him I would sell off the Conquest and an older VXll 4x12 to finance a new scope. Now, I see this as my big chance to step up and upgrade the HD on my 700 by buying a Schmidt and Bender with some Warne Quick release rings and when he isn't looking I can do the ole switcheroo in the field. Works for me. I have Talley Lightweight 1" rings on his rig now. What do you think about going to 34mm? Care to recommend a scope from 3-18X? He thinks he wants one with multiple reticles but after using the Zeiss with the RZ800 reticle I'm not so sure it is for him since you are supposed to keep it on 13X, at least for the load in my 7Mag. I'd like to keep this under $1500. What are your thoughts? Another Zeiss, Leupy VX6? Huskema? I need to move on this in the next few days to get it sighted in for our hunt in less than 3 weeks.

One charge so far. Not sure if it for Turkey or Javelina.

Leaning towards the Swarovski in 3.5-18x44.

Always thought it was a poorly chosen location.

Nice work. They should buy you some donuts.

This was a relatively mild summer.

22-250. Sometimes an AR.

I am hunting a new area this year and have been out the last two weekends, as time allows. I have used Google Earth but I have also been doing quite a bit of glassing close to the road and spoke to a few other groups of hunters I met while driving around. I'll be out again this weekend but it's tough because the first hunt in the Unit started on 10/10 and there is a hunt every other weekend for 6 weeks before our hunt at the end of the month. I just try to stay out of an area if I can see there is another hunter or a vehicle around which is not always easy to do as some people either road hunt or hike a mile or three in.

Good Luck. I'm certain your Grandad will be watching over your shoulder.
