    Hunting with the aid of a Vehicle

    I've clammed up with them over the years. The new ones come out of the Police Academy with the mindset everyone is breaking laws and it is their duty to figure out how. Even had a couple old G&F friends make that statement, they said it takes about 5 years to get the academy out of them.

    closed thread! thx

    I like a peep that allows me to see the ring protecting the pins on the sight, then I center the ring within the ring and put the pin where I want it. Plus the large peep lets you see good enough to shoot a few minutes earlier and later.

    good quality wool socks and polypro liners, liners aren't always necessary

    Grave Digger Testing

    website I used to visit, the guy(s) would take the shoulders off of roadkill and use the heads on them, got to see how the head worked with meat, muscle and sinew. Kris would also buy a pack of pork ribs for the steep qtring shots with expandables, was a good site, kinda died off a little now. How about some pics of what the head(s) looked like after going through the bone?

    Tripod mount for Vortex Viper

    I have the one from Outdoorsman's, bayonet stud you screw into the bino body, mount that it slips in to stays on the pistol grip or tripod head, run about $130 for the setup, worth it if you consider how many times it will be used over the years.

    Ground deer recipes

    Buy "Bruce Aidell's Complete Sausage Book", it has about 50 recipes from 2 to 5 lb batches, pretty easy since you have the hard part done, just measure and mix the spices to the ground meat

    Savage Model 24 combo gun in 22mag/20 gauge

    Wish it was .222rem and 20 ga., I'd snatch it up. My step-brother stole the one from my Grandfather and hocked it.

    Fire near Young!

    here is a website I hit a lot, it gets updated more often than the Govt sites in my opinion. The fire is called the Poco fire. http://wlfhotlist.com/showthread.php?27234-AZ-TNF-Poco

  22. Thanks. Have you compared long distance ranging with other brands?

    California SB1221

    Yep, but that is about 10% of the population, and 10% of us believe in hunting as a conservation tool, it's they 80% in the middle that vote with their hearts based on a 30 second commercial that we need to swing to our side.

    California SB1221

    It would be hard to capture, but I have thought if a video could be made of a coyote taking down a helpless fawn, and a pack of wolves devouring a cow elk in labor with a calf and show it to the public a few minds might be changed about these walking stomachs. The anti's had no problem showing puppies in leg hold traps when that issue came up for a vote.

    elk setup opinions

    Practice with the broadheads you plan on hunting with, number them so you can tell them apart, put your best fliers in the quiver where you will grab them first, sharpen them up after practice and go put your tag on an elk.
