    3 blade 100grain muzzy broadhead

    The standard 3 blade Muzzy 100 grain is my absolute favorite head, and I have shot a LOT of heads trying to find "the one".

    In stock AR-15s

    Yeah if you follow this stuff, stripped AR lowers that were anywhere from $80 - $180 are at least 3x that right now on gunbroker. I just did a quick search, and top of the list is a DPMS lower with the highest bid at $481.00. This is crazy - this is a $99 lower. The dealers were getting them for $49 two weeks ago. Hi-cap mags are sold out everywhere, ammo for .223 or 7x62 - gone. It's a feeding frenzy right now.

    2012 Recap

    Just had to bump this one back to the top, great year for my sons, and our friends. Since the year is just about over, may as well relive the best times!

    Piers Morgan

    Wouldn't you love to see guys like this, including Bill Maher, get 3 minutes in the round with a Navy Seal, Green Beret, or heck, a randomly picked Marine? I don't buy PPV, but I would definately pony up the $$ to see these guys pummelled by the men and women of the armed forces who pay for their talking rights in blood.

    300 wsm

    Mine likes IMR 4350 (63 gr) and 165 grain accubonds. Great all-around rifle, tough to beat IMO.

    10th Anniversary of CouesWhitetail.com!!

    Happy Anniversary CWT, and a huge "Thank You" Amanda for creating this awesome site. There are a lot of forums out there dedicated to hunting, but this one is by far my favorite. Great community here.

    What did I do wrong?

    Also, I've found it's best to try and keep the camera in the shade facing North whenever possible. Sunlight directly in the lens and shifting shadows also trigger them, especially when facing toward the sun.

    Baiting Javelina

    I agree with Bill. Yes, it is currently legal to bait Javi's but I personally think that would take a lot of the fun out of it. I saw a video a while back, maybe someone could post a link to it, of a deer hunter in Texas sitting next to a corn feeding station, literally sneak up and kick a Javelina on the corn. Spot and stalk Javelina hunting is a blast, and it's also a really great way to develope hunting skills. Howevery you choose to do it, good luck to you.
  13. This is how I see the systematic disarmament of America, without ever enforcing a gun ban. They won't do it via confiscation. They know that would be too much too fast, and the push-back would be huge, maybe even a rebellion of sorts. I talked with a friend today in the gun industry and his prediction is far more likely - a phased approach. Phase I: They ban the sale of new "assault weapons" which will encompass not only those scary rifles with pistol grips, but probably pistols capable of holding a clip with more than 10 rounds. Existing weapons that meet the ban criteria are "grandfathered". This makes everyone think it's just a "common sense" measure. Phase II: They will allow you to keep your "grandfathered" assault weapon, but you will have to register it, and pay a small fee - say $25 per gun per year. Person-to-person sales require the same form (4473) as FFL transfers. Again, people will say, big deal, what's $25 bucks, costs more to go to the movies, and hey, I have to register my car, why not my gun. Penalty for possession of a non-registered gun is a felony. Phase III: Now they have your name and know exactly what guns you have. Tax increases to $500 per gun per year. You either pony up thousands, or forfeit your guns. You can't pretend you sold them, because of the Form 4473 (or equivalent) requirement. They can continue on with this until every gun has been turned in, all without ever banning a single one. The only hold-outs are those willing to shoot it out, likely alone, or face massive jail time. It will be slow and methodical, each step under the guise of reasonable, common sense safety measures. In the end, we'll be unarmed without ever having the chance to resist as a unified body. Legislation, taxation, a methodical approach to turn you from a lion to a sheep.
  14. I know I should be more current on this issue. The last I heard, there was a push to ban "baiting" but it was restricted to corn and supplemented feed. Seems even the AZGFD was saying that it had nothing to do with salt. Not long ago, a fellow hunter told me this was an almost "done deal" and it included salt, except for white cattle salt blocks. So can anyone clarify where this issue is now?
  15. I came across this article on another forum, and wanted to share it with this community. Gun control, specifically, renewal of the "Assault Weapons Ban" of 1994 are hot topics right now. If you are following this discussion, this is a great read. Not only the intitial article, which is quite long, but the following commentary from respondents on both sides of the issue. http://kontradictions.wordpress.com/2012/08/09/why-not-renew-the-assault-weapons-ban-well-ill-tell-you/
  16. Well done, Amanda. I've seen enough sites turned into trash. Glad to see this forum is on top of things.

    Gun Confiscation - How it will happen

    With all due respect, PRDATR, these aren't some ideas they haven't already thought of - it's modeled on legislation enacted in California - just a stone's throw away.
  18. Same rumor was going around about Cabela's. People saw empty slots in the gun shelves where ARs used to be, empty racks where hi-cap mags used to be, empty slots on the floor where bulk .223 ammo used to be, and automatically assumed these items were pulled by upper management. In truth, these items simply sold out.

    Anyone like palmation?

    That is truly a unique elk. Congrats to you and your hunter.

    2012 Big coues buck

    Super buck! Congrats. I want to hear the story too. BTW, I heard of a buck that got away during the early hunt that sounded exactly like that one. I'd be curious to know if it was the same one.
  25. Remember too, the last ban lasted for 10 years. I'd be willing to bet this time around it will have explicit wording making it permanent. I ordered as many mags as I could yesterday, and bought whatever I could locally. If I spend any more on mags, my wife will kill me. BTW, Bonecollector, one way to get around the 2-mag limit is to order 2 of each color - that's what I did, but that vendor is notorious for charging you separate shipping on each backordered item when they do come in. FWIW.
