What ever I can get a permit for!!! -
That is messed up. The man is trying to sell something for what ever reason.....LET HIM OFFER IT FOR SALE..... if you are not interested? FINE. DON'T LIKE THE PRICE? FINE. Found a better price? FINE. I would like to think that were are here to offer help and support that goes a bit farther than "any help on so-and-so unit, I have never hunted there before." Don't cut him off at the knees. We all love the great sport of ours and many of us could not enjoy if it weren't for the support of our familys. In the end that is what our toys are for.

Many think that when the military went to the .223 it was a big mistake. Even if it wasn't the military is re-thinking the .223 and seriously looking at the 6.8mm. The parent case is the 30 Remington, Remington's rimless version of the ol' 30-30 Win, necked down to a .277 bullet. The reports were "no impact, knock-down, etc" from the .223. So the military loves to spend our are hard paid taxes just for giggles or there just might be a bit of a problem with the energy of the .223. I don't own a .223, not because I don't like it but because I don't have enough money for another toy .

I saw first hand what a 150gr from a '06 at 208 yards did to a 1 1/2 year old fork mulie. WOW the first shot was tooooooo far back (gut shot) and the poor little guys half of his liver, all his stomach an all his intestines were on the ground. He wasn't far behind. On the filp side I also saw first hand when a hog of a WT with antlers that were wider than his ears and heavy, it still hurts just to even talk about it, with a 125grn from a '06 did at 105 yards. I was looking thru the binos the whole time, I even help verify that it was a WT because we were in mixed country and at first look he looked like a mule deer with the BIG body. The deer was standing broad side and the shooter had time and I even saw the hit on the sholder but he ran hard for 40 yards and we lost sight of him. I took us about 15-20 min to get to where he was standing and we did see some blood but not much. Whe found where he bedded when we lost sight of him and found bright red blood and bone fragments, long pieces. We guessed sholder. We backed off and gave him an hour and ........we never found him. The three of us tracked the that day for 5 hours. 5 of us looked for 6 hours the next day, we even came back after a few days to to look for the vultures. Nothing. I think it hit the point of the sholder and expanded right there never going into the chest cavity. Those 125's are now for coyotes. -
YES IF YOU WANT TO HUNT HUNTERS

I have always left the gates as I found them. I learned early on like some of the others here. I do worry about the "slob" before me who didn't close like the rancher wanted and now I am doing the same as the "slob" I too have noticed when the gates are open 180 degrees or proped open with a rock and such. But just try and remember the last time you went out alone. Some times it's hard to get that gate to stay open enough for you to get thru so we prop it open or open them the 180. Maybe "mr. Slob" came up the same road before you and he was alone too an didn't close it like we normally would. When the are tied open, then there is no doubt. I wish that this was done more often. If it is a ranch I have a relationship with or if I see some one working the ranch I ask. Now a days asking some of the workers on the ranch is getting harder to do especially in the 36's where I spend most of my time. Because sadly people/drug dealers dress up like hunters too. Other wise I leave then as I found them.

Having the courage to live out your dream says a lot about a man. You are doing it brother! Looks like you will have your hands full for a while but once you get settled, don't forget about us, get on line and shows us just how beautiful Wyoming is! Stay in touch and good luck although you might not need it. God bless and you will be in my prayers. -

I ended up ordering the blk/stainless thru the cataloge because the Cabelas up in the Phx area did not carry them at all. I am very happy with it so far. I am heading out to the 3-points range weekly to get it dialed in. Az coues addict, They did have this MZ at the Sportsmans Wherhouse here in Tucson for about the same money, + or - $10 in the same model you ordered. I am heading out that way Friday and I would be happy to stop by and see if they still have it, at least that way I have an excuse to go, if you like. That way you won't have to wait for the back order. -
I was blessed with a smoke pole bull tag and now have a great excuse to buy a new muzzel loadeder. I have came across this one. It looks like it is built by CVA but it they have stainless steel barrels instead of nickle. Any one have any experence with them? Thanks

Anyone have any stories from this weekend?
More D replied to matthewp45's topic in Bowhunting for Coues Deer
We went out on Sat but got a late start. We wanted to take along our younger cousin who kind of needs some.........direction in his young life. You all know how it is young, LOTS of time on his hands and........you know how the story goes. We ended up in 36C and turned in to a fun Dove shoot. We saw 4 snakes on the drive in! Seriously they should call that ranch the Snakes Anvil . The only bad part of the day was me and my alergies. Man it was beautiful and very green but it was hard to shoot at Doves between sneezes. The only deer we saw was a fawn that I nearly stepped on. It was near a water hole and I was already freaked out about snakes so I was looking were my feet were going and WOW a tiny, tiny fawn. I mean it was so small you could have covered it up with a 8.5X11 inch sheet of paper. I quickly looked around for mom with no luck. It even looked like a WT but it was hard to tell. We didn't want to even touch it or bother it any more so we let it be and backed out quietly. I really wanted a picture but I figured we had seen enough. Oh and my young cousin took his first game animal, a nice big Dove!!!! It was a great day! -
# 3 is not enough poundage for my cousin. I will see if he can swing #1, Any one else want it.....go for it!

I am very interested in one of the youth bows, only problem is I don't know which one. I need one for my cousin. I will look into it and get back to you soon! Thanks!
