Aside from a ton of pre season scouting I hike around town or just walk 3-5 miles a night the few months before season starts with a 60lbs pack. As for diet I'm pretty young at only 28 I eat anything I can get my hands on. I'm short with a tone built naturaly. I'm sure most of my pre season prep will change as I age but so far I've done good (physical) hunting wilderness areas the last few years.

i have no info about the Winchesters but i love my 300wm its a ruger. i shoot a 180g ab at every thing.

99.9 surethat be a yote - no way a piggy skull I'm 100% sure its a coyote. That's a crappy pic of it. It still had a little fur on it.

Every year deer get a little smarter. This year they leaned its easyer to dodge cars if you stay on the side walk.

Well were home now just those 2 missed opportunitys. Friday Saturday and 1/2 Sunday 12.4 miles. I ll get out again next weekend. After this week end I have officaly found more dead heads than I have sheds. I found 2 small muleys dead heads amd a perfect coyote sckull this weekend. Life time total 3 deer dead heads 1 shed.

Firday I found all the same sign that was here 3 weekago. Saturday I had some one bust a heard about 100 y to my right. We wandered into a few straglers I drew back and my peep tube came untied. About 20 mins later I found 1 byhimself at the bottom of a wash. I drew but there a small yacca he was standing behind so I pass on a shot. Never had a nother opportunity. I'm cooking breakfast now and we ll head out to try again.

yep. the last few encounters i've had the warden knew i was guilty of something and they were heck bent on finding out what i did. an hour later i was"free to go"

I found a group of toms today and I poked around a little and found a ton of sign. Shoot me a pm

I'm sorry to hear about your dog tony. Its always hard when you lose a dog.

I'm pretty happy with it. So far I've had two people enter my trophy room and have there jaw drop and ask" wow. Where did you get him" same respons from me both times. I drop my head and say "he's not mine all I did was find it on the ground and restore him"

pics from the thread when i first found it. the flash make it look funny. in the pictures you can hardly see the high lights or low lights. its going to get a s velvet of leather skull cap cover and a nice piece of wood. but i have a little more work to do to it first.

I could support/participate in this. But only if during the night hunting season no other big game were in season. With the right set up it could work but I doubt it will. Just look back to the wild life prop back in november too many pepole with the wrong info spreading it around.

Recoil aside just the price of ammo and the unneeded barrel errotion is not worth the extra fps you'd get with an ultra mag. I know that every that shots an ulta mag is exempt from these points. The recoil between a 06 and a 300ultra mag are quite diferant. Dead is in fact dead. For 1000 bucks you could get a "normal" cal and have plenty of cash left over for a scope befitting of a long range tack driver. And be able to have plenty of ammo avalivle to practice. But as with every thing in life you will wind up with what ever you want and love it. My deer rifle is 300wm. Most would call it over kill too.

when it comes to wood working i still have a mechanics touch.

I started by using early american wood stain. 1part stain 1part paint thiner.I aplied the mix with a brush all over. I hand rubed a little strait paint thiner and used sand paper to lighten up the tips and the high points and some of the burrs. Them I let every thing dry in the sun for a day. Then I used a piece of cardboard to rub every where kinda like barnishing to give it a slight poilish. I then applied mink oil with my finder tips. I repeated the rubing sanding and mink oil till it looked right. I have every thing to finish the project so I should have a few finished pictures in a few hours.

I've yet to get out calling since march 2010. I've spent so much time chasing deer this year and the last bit of 2010. I have a ham tag but as soon as I'm done with that tag its on. Between today and Friday I've seen 15.

Archery only

That more bucks than I've seen in all of 2010.

I have a leupold mk4 lrt with target turets. I love it. Its setto moa. I sighted it in at 0moa at 100. And worked my way to 800 and the adjustments in moa in 50y increments wrote it on a piece of paper and taped it to the stock.

I have family that works for mcso and uses taser international regularly. Its shaped like a gun for easy handling and it has two modes shock or shoot probs and shock. Its like having a taser and a stun gun in one.

I've got a spiller and burr in my safe that i ve planed on using for a ham hunt I never have. I have a ham tag this year but ill be bow only. They are fun to shoot.

i stopped at a bulk trash pile 4 doors down cause i saw an older metal coleman ice chest. then i found 2 internal framed hunting pack and one external frame pack. i found the shoulder straps and hip pads for a large frame pack but no frame. still a good find.

show off!!! im just kidding. cograts

im still thinking. i would like to try a tree stand next aug/dec

I have no experiance with any burris binos . But I would pass as camera land has vortex viper 10x50. For 389.99 and they are phenominal.
