What brand scope do you have and what rifle and caliber are you shooting? Shooting paper from a bench at 600 yards with all the time in the world is a whole different game then popping a buck at the same distance off a tree limb or rock. I shot a budget 16X Weaver T16 in Silhouette Competition out to 500 Meters and never felt handicapped by lack of magnification.

I hit three stores by 10:30, spent way too much money.

No matter how hard you try there are just going to be those stands where animals will come in behind you making it next to impossible to get off a shot. I sit with my rifle in my lap on a little fold up stool I bought @ Larada's in Mesa about 20 years ago to keep my feet and ankles from falling asleep after 10 or 15 minutes. The plus is it keeps your butt dry and off the stickers while allowing you to stay low. I have been using a mouth call since about 1985. My routine is call for 10-20 seconds, stop for 10 seconds or so and repeat. When I stop I rest my hands in my lap so I can grab the rifle is I see a dog coming in. I won't shoot until he slows way down or stops. If he busts me and puts on the afterburners then he's done but that usually only happens on doubles after I shoot the dog that is further away. I use a 22-250 but will also use a 12ga with 3" in #4 buck for thick stuff where shots are under 40 yards. I use an earth cover scent but I don't worry much about the wind. If there are hungry dogs in the area they will come in.

It will be come to be known as OBAMADON'TCARE.

Merle Haggard, Make up & Faded Blue Jeans right now! He sure does a good job singing some of Marty Robbins songs.

What a guy. LOL But the big question is are you going to put those eagle eyes of yours to good use and glass for him?

Long actions are typically 30-06 sized cases and up so a 300 Win would be a long action. Short actions would be 223, 243 and 308.

Welcome to the site, no experience in that unit for me but I know your dad will be guiding you.

I'd rather sit in my chair out in the desert watching the fire and listen to KRDE. Although now that Tim and Willie and the dittzy third leg are on it gives me more incentive to make my morning commute over by 6am. I just hope and pray it doesn't change the whole format to all day Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift then end up just another "country" station like KNIX or KMLE playing the same songs over and over and over.

God Speed. I hope he has a full recovery. All you folks over 40, go get a checkup.

And they will probably have a negative balance for the next 12 months as it gets paid back, then the riots will start.

What the heck are you folks feeding those thing up there? Congrats to Erica.

In my Model 788 I have used 50 to 55 gr bullets on Varmints and Javelina and Federal Premium factory loads with the 55gr Trophy Bonded Bear Claw's for Mule Deer Doe's out to 200 yards with great results. Before shooting big calibers at very long ranges became all the rage the 22-250 was a very very popular caliber for Coues Deer.

Nothing special just a first year 700 ADL composite stock in 7 Mag. I do need a lighter stock if anyone has one for sale. It sports a Leupold VX2 but will get a newer Zeiss HD but I have not had the time to mount it.

Congratulations Noah that's a lot of dedication, getting proficient and being up early.

Here is the article banning lead bullets. Californians can still use lead shot from what I can gather and he did Veto some potentially damaging other bills on the Second Amendment. http://www.latimes.com/local/political/la-me-pc-california-jerry-brown-gun-control-20131011,0,6334949.story

How much?

I hunted it about 15 years ago with a friend who hunted it every year. He got a cow I went home empty handed. We rented a horse and a mule from an outfitter and rode in each morning from our camp at the end of the road. Never saw another hunter and we were at about 10,000. I did see lots of coyotes every day. We went in through Purgatory then headed south probably another 10 miles or so until we ran out of road and camped in the pines. I would ride 8-15 miles each morning on the horse while my friend rode the mule. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot about horses during the hunt. Mainly that they are like kids and need a lot of fussing over each day before you get to do your own business. My BIL lives in Monument and wants to get into Elk hunting so I picked him up a rifle locally to send him so he can practice and get in shape for the hunt we (me) are planning for next fall. I'm not sure where we will end up but it will not be on horseback.

I don't always agree with everything he says or the way he puts it out but his burping is pretty darn funny.

They filed Chapter 11 in 1990.

I'll take a crack at it if Parrita58 doesn't. I posted a reply about it a little bit ago but it evidently didn't go through.

I see stuff like that all the time during Dove Season, bugs me to no end. I take a couple of grocery store bags with me and breast out the Doves on my tailgate putting the carcases in one bag and take it home and toss it in the garbage.

You'll be fine. There are always plenty of deer around for the JR Hunt.
