I'm looking for a little more scope for my 300 win mag. Right now I have a Burris 3x9x40 with the ballistic plex. I really like the scope but I found myself wanting (needing) more magnification on a recent coues hunt. Funny, I've shot elk, antelope and mule deer out to 450 and didn't want for more but coues at anything past 400 I'd like to have a bigger target. So, what power combination do you guys use? I'm not planning on anything past 500. I've shot targets out to 500 with 4-5" groups with this gun but shooting a target that I can see well is very different than shooting at a coues that blends so well with the habitat. Also, I have the Lieca 1200 range finder, what scope system do you use? Tom

Great video. -
What a haul. Congratulations, who took you out?

The weather can be from snowy to hot. Most likely 20's at night and 50's during the day. Unit 1 is huge so you'll have to pick an area and go scout. Deer are present in all elevations. The Wallow burn and pinion juniper areas can be great. Good luck

Rosey is a fickle gal. If you get on active fish there are tons of shad available. Water is clearing and visibility is 10’+ in some areas. The fish have tons of unfishable water and are near finished with spawn. Water temperature in mid-lake are 66-70 F. Average fishermen are catching a few and experienced can have super days. Weekends are loaded with tournament boats that have no regard for anyone else.

I like it. I always have my phone and don’t have to carry a license or tag. This is especially helpful when I fish. That’s just me-

Nice buck. Congratulations

I’ll take it. I’ll be at Bradshaw Mountain high school on Wednesday afternoon for football. Could we meet then?

I worked as a certified welding inspector for a power plant. The welders we have are amazing. Each got their start in every way mentioned and more. Here is my opinion- if he wants to weld the copper mines or power company is a great place to start. He should take every opportunity to grind, cut and strike an arch. Great welding is an art that has to be developed by hands on. That said the college will provide a great opportunity for metallurgy and theory most on the job guys don’t get. Production welders follow welding plans prepared by an engineer. It’s like a recipe for each weld. Point being, he’ll be give angle, technique, rod required, inter pass temperature, weld thickness and such. Good hunting for your son’s future-

So did you move to Arizona or still live in Wisconsin? If you’re here go looking at your units, elk here don’t move very far. The draw is in just a couple weeks so there’s that- Are you interested in early hunts, with 16 points they may be a hard draw. Late hunts are also a blast but very little bugling. Your points could put you in line for a November hunt. Good luck

Yes, very similar to what my rifles do.

https://fishingspecialties.com I went with this system to get the transducer away from my trolling motor. Up to 4 mph and no cable wrapping around the shaft. So far it’s working perfectly and I love it. Total cost less than $200.

The bucks and smoked meat look great. Good luck with your quest- -
Really great mix, love it

Water temps in high 60’s and sporadic bite all over. Lake is off color and tons of bait balls in 20-60’ water. I caught crappie, bass and catfish but no big numbers of fish. Drop shot and jigs were best for me. Caught catfish on jerkbaits?
