    New .17 Winchester Super Magnum

    I'd like to see some ballistic data out to 300 yards and some real world results on coyotes beyond 100 yards. Those 20 grainers should keep the pelt damage down especially on foxes and bobcats.

    ruger 1911

    Set up a target 25' away. Point the gun at the bullseye with a firm two handed grip and taking your time see how close you can come to the center without using the sights. Do this for a couple of boxes of ammo to get used to the gun so pointing becomes a natural thing. The gun will be accurate enough right out of the box and after you are comfortable with it you can always try to shoot itty bitty groups if that's your thing.

    Archery w/ a Sidearm for Self Defense

    Been said long before he was born. Carrying is ok, I believe it just needs to have a barrel length of 6" or less and no scope.

    Fiscal Cliff

    My paycheck reflected a 47% increase in Social Security Tax which will be over $1200 for the year.
  7. I have never hunter the mountain so no help there. I did have similar results with the Tucson office in the past. All I can suggest is being persistent with them.

    trojan download

    I loaded Trend Micro on my other laptop today (Nortons Expired) and I am not having any problems at all getting on nor is it indicating any attacks. I am running Windows 7 on it. I am using W8 on my other one with Bitdefender and have not seen any indication of the trojan on it either.

    "cuterebra" or nasal flies???

    dude, that's just straight barbaric! I will never see those wasps the same again! James There are quite a few types of Wasps that attack spiders around here. Usually they are about 3/4-1" and have a blue hue to them.
  13. When looking at optics, specifically binoculars, it is best to look for something with an exit pupil of 5. That is determined by dividing the front objective in mm by the power. Example using a pair of 10x50's you would divide 50 by 10 for an exit pupil of 5. This becomes more important during that legal half hour of shooting before the sun comes up. Manufacturers (some) enhance their optics with coatings for better light transmission. 8.5 and 10 power are the two most popular for hand held binos but you will have more trouble holding the 10x steady because even the small power increase over 8.5 the shake becomes much more evident. Nikon, Vortex, Doctor, Meopta and Zeiss are all decent but spend the most you can afford (buy once-cry once). Places like Cabelas and Sportsmans Clearing House allow you to spread the payments over 4-6 months which is a big plus for those of us on a budget. The problem with trying to compare optics in a place like Bass Pro or Cabelas is the stores are grossly under lit and at most you might be able to look at something 50 yards away which just doesn't cut it. If I were looking for a pair of binos and were on a budget I would do a payment plan and get a pair of Zeiss binos. Steiner binos have individual adjustments for each eye which I find to be a drawback due to having to make two adjustment each time you glass up different distances. I have 8.5x42 Swarovski EL's and also bought a pair of 10x50 Diamondbacks last year as a gift for my son. Hope this helps some. You can also check opticsplanetdotcom for reviews and lots of info (including a optics forum). Don't overlook giving Doug or Neil a call with Camerland as they are a site sponser and may have some options for you which may include demo or trade in binos.

    Gun Confiscation - How it will happen

    Posting about "what could happen" just gives them more ideas.
  15. I swear that Ernesto has 10X natural vision. Put that behind a pair of 15's and all his knowledge/passion and no CWT goes undetected. I have been hunting Coues for 23 years and can't hold a candle to him. Watching him handling some sheds it's like he is some sort of Witch Doctor communing with the dead.

    Short pants, web gear and a trophy. baja yesterday

    Taped out at 400 so it will be nice to see what the actual weight is. Also good to see someone actually using heavy enough tackle so they don't have to fight a bruiser like that for hours on end.

    Any new requirements?

    Sounds like I should ask when I go down on Saturday. I wasn't planning on bringing back a cape but it wouldn't hurt to ask.
