Catherine-Zeta Jones. (In the Yukon) That is all.

"One of these days,,," Thats what I been telling myself for what seems like 20 years. Glad to see someone get one and I loved the story. Congrats and please do tell us how you cooked them and how they tasted. Very cool bird to shoot.

Learn something new everyday.

Big Big market for those cars overseas and a lot of them are shipped out in a couple of days. Sorry to hear of that and the other stuff getting stolen. Did he have a security system or cameras? I assume no Lojack on the vehicle?

Keep an eye out for snakes and if you're going to wear shorts then don't forget to check for ticks. The more skin you have exposed the more scent you create too.

I have never seen a Weatherby with a 24" barrel. That addittional 2 inches is what helped Roy Weatherby achieve some of the velocities gained over conventional cartridges.

I'd be pushing them closer to 2900 to help stabilize them more.

I have heard of white Javelina in some part of Mexico (don't remember where though) but this is the first ablino I have seen or heard of. Congrats on a great trophy.

Sent you a PM

Hooked for life now. Great story.

I picked up a Colt LE6920 today and have heard the triggers could be better. Anyone have experience with re-working the factory trigger? I haven't shot it yet so it may not really be a problem. I Googled triggers and saw a Timney for $70 and some others for 4X's that. I'd much rather keeep the original than toss out money for something designed for 1000 matches..

Awesome.

The 22-250 works well out to 300 yards with no problem on Coyotes, Javelina and Coues. DICKS Sporting Goods has the Remington 700 Varmit with a 4-12 scope on sale for Black Friday for $349! I don't know what calibers but 223,243 or 22-250 will all work.

Unfortunately most are now licking their wounds and wondering WTF went wrong. Romney was never a good choice and neither was Ryan. Some may call it pandering but the voter base cannot be ignored. 2016 will be another loss if the party doesn't wake up. The Republican Party continues to holds it's breath and press on and are easily manipulated by the Dems. Their "yeah but," philosophy isn't working. Meanwhile the politicians retain their positions and the country goes down the tubes. Nobody pays any attention to a bucket of water with a slow leak until all the water is gone into the sand. Christie, Rubio and Jindal will be the ones to watch. The big question is will Hillary make another move in 2016.

Looks like an older buck.

If you just want to kill them then I would use the cheapest thing you can find like Remington Core-Lok's. Unless you reload and slow them down any jacketed bullet in a 270 will be destructive. You can also use cast bullets but slow them down below 2000 fps. Head shots are always an option if your hide hunting.

That is a great pic TAM and reminds me of when my son was younger. I always gave him a pack to wear so he could "help out" and carry stuff like food, water first aid etc. When he was about 11 I got him his first knife to carry whic was a big deal for him. I have found that after taking a few pigs and have my trophies I now just bone them out on the spot. I take the meat and put it in a 5 gallon bucket with two cups of salt and a bag or two of ice, add water. I leave it in there over night and change it in the morning, then soak it again all day. It pulls out all of the blood and 99% of the smell. I have been very fortunate to take them with rifle, pistol and bow over the last 25 years and am looking forward to hunting 16A after picking up a leftover tag for the General Javi hunt. I will probably go up and scout this weekend and maybe next too as this is a new unit for me and work has kept me super busy the last six weeks going to and from Kingman and it is killing me watching that area at 60mph. LOL Hey PRDATR when you say you re-soak them in the morning, do you just add new ice/water or do you also add another 2 cups of salt too? Yes, more ice, water and salt. If the water is pretty bloody after 6 hours the first time I dump it then and do another 6 hours.

16A General Rifle Javelina for me.

Whats the hunt number?...I have the book here. Hunt number 5032, I dont have my book. 37B

My parents bought me a Red Ryder when I was probably six or eight. It couldn't hit squat and the BB's bounced off wood. I refused to use it and Dad was bummed and returned it. I doubt they have improved much since then. That was 50+ years ago. When my kids were growing up I let them shoot my 22's and by the age of 10 they each had a healthy respect of guns from shooting their first deer with a cut down 22-250 and my son got a SS 410 for his 10th birthday.

Nitrideing the barrel may help it's life. http://forums.outdoorsdirectory.com/showthread.php/96823-Looking-for-companies-that-apply-Nitride-finishes

I have seen them just north of Rodeo heading into Horseshoe Canyon.

The system will be down for "maintenance" tonight so the database should be loaded by monday.

Very good area to hunt. Please, please, please get a lion tag.

I'll come right out and say if I stalked in and saw another hunter that close, at the Very Least I would stop and say hey and talk with him, or her. Just to find out their intentions or to let them know I was on a stalk. I think they knew exactly what they were doing. To far too many the end result justifies the means, shallow accomplishments. Last year I was up on 12BW and twice had the same hunter come into an area where my son and I were hunting. Both times he acknowledged we were there and backed out. The first time my son was on a stalk and when the deer bolted his son (about the same age as mine) jumped from the truck ready to shoot but he held him off so my son could make his shot, which didn't happen, and he realizing that the deer were on the run honked his horn, obviously to startle the deer in the hopes of making them stop. It didn't happen but from 300 yards away I could connect with him and what he was trying to do. I owe that white bearded sportmansman in the white truck a handshake and a cold beer. If he'll take it. Late that same day they showed up at a tank we were watching a few hundred yards from across a meadow and promptly left when I motioned where we were. One thing I tried unsuccessfully to explain to my son was the husband and wife in a shiny new F250 with a Sierra Vista dealer sticker who sported a carbon fiber rifle and swarvo everything had the gaul to setup 20 yards away from us, without a word after walking ten feet in front of us to watch the tank. We had been sitting there for a few hours before they showed up an hour before sunset. If he and I didn't both have company there would have definatley be a confrontation.
