    Where did all of the Turkey go above Payson?

    I wa thinking the same thing. In years past I have hunted turkey in that area. Normal evey mud puddle and tank had tracks. I was camping last weekend I checked for track every where. I seen none. After a while of casual looking I made it a mission to find some and still nothing. Although last sat morning at before sun up I started a coyote pup distress call and I heard some wing beats.

    Increasing my range...

    with practice you should be able to go way farther than that. i shoot a simular set up. i have practiced out to 600 so far but i plan on going farther.(300wm mk4 4.5-14x40 lrt) the two scopes are almost the same. depending on the age of you scope the adjustment knobs should be resettable. if they are sight it in to 100y. find a good ballistic calculator, and check the calculators results you to 4 5 6 7 800y. your set up is capable.
  6. it looks good. i painted mine a while back. i like it it just takes time. but it you do it right i lasts a while. i used krylon ultra flat 3 color camo then a satin clear coat. its a savage 10 243win and i shoot a 75g vmax. this rifle has always been my experimental gunsmith rifle. i leaned out to lighten/tune a trigger, glass bed and free float. i also stiffend the front of the stock caus it was so flimsy. ernesto: if you need an extra wall to hang that elk id gladly lend a hand.

    I have white tail tag in pocket and a smile on my face. Going scouting this week end
  12. i found a nice white tail around 4 this afternoon. when i found him he was standing in the shade eating. i could seem him pretty good between the binos and spotter. i went to set up the camera and i lost him for about 10 min. he bedded in the same group of trees. i would guess its close to a mile away. with the wind shaking the tripod and the heat the camera would not focus very well. i seem him realy good with the spotter. hes very wide with big bulbs on the end of each tip with huge dagger eyeguard its hard to tell in the pic but if you zoom it in they can be seen better. they were taller and thicker than his g2's i have a white tail tag in a different unit.

    stop loss combat vets

    i guess this has been out for a while but i just hear it on the radio today then the news tonight. basicly if you were on active duty and stoplossed for a deployment the DoD will pay 500 per month. after you scan your doc its a very easy process. with scanning my documents and completing the process it took me about 20 min. retroactive stop loss pay

    Budapest...

    the lazy scouter is born. go to favorite few glassing spots...take the pic.... go home and examine. theres no naked sun bathers i checked. but it looks just like Budapest, cameras on every building.
  17. Ovwer the last few months I have found that digiscoping is more of an art. You pic look better that the ones I've been taking. I ve used is my cameras timer I set it so I press the button 1/2way it will fucus the all the way but it waits 2 secs untill it takes the pic. It seens like I can't push thebutton with out shaking it. I Ill will try the focus knob while the camera is doing its auto thing next time I'm out.

    new scope

    my leupold mark 4 LR/T 4.5-14x40 arrived friday and i had a chance to sight it in this morning. the knobs are so easy to ajust. it sighted in pretty easy. i had a few very tight groups with the forend and the butt supported. but off a harris bipod a bout an inch was the best i could do. i shot 32 300wm in about 45min and it was hot this morning. now i need to practice dialing different yardages. i did bust a basket ball sized rock at 505y on the first shot with 8moa. the guy i was shooting with was quite the non beliver in the accurace of dialing yardages. i was on a tripod with the gun claw, he picked out the rock and ranged it. i adjusted 8moa and squeezed the trigger. he was shocked that is was a direct hit as he proclamed it to be a fluke. i was too hot and tired to prove other wise, but i will all in due time. 4-shot group. any thing tighter than that is just showing off.

    Bullet defying gravity?

    he was shooting at 100 and 200y on the same session. he checked the calculator afterward. i think his barrel is pointing up and the bullet as not started to come down untill after 200. plus the 55g is a zinger. his 100 groups is dead on.

    Concealed Weapon Law

    Its not hard to guess the writers opinoin in the story....incase a camper starts firing his gun at a niose in the dark. Wow the last time I was camping and heard a noise at night I waisted so much ammo when I. Began unloading both full auto aks. I guess I should bring more ammo and the rpgs on my next camping trip just in case.

    Glassing setup

    I see tripods often at yard sales they are normaly cheap in price sturdy but a lttle heavey but still quite the value plus they are normaly set up and you can spot then from the street with out getting out of your truck.

    Concealed Weapon Law

    The permit will still be issued/renewed if one still diesired too. Itx good training to have, there is no backround check when buying guns from an ffl and a fire arm cannot be POSSESED without a permit in some state and city parks . There plenty of gray areas between the new law and the old law its worth reading them both and at times side by side.
