    My Desert Mulie

    I busted my butt to get my biggest Muley yet. I got him 11-11 about 3:00. One of my greatest hunts yet. I hope you enjoy the pics.

    Pit Bar B Que, or clean them up really well and throw them on the grill and then go eat your tree out back.

    My Desert Mulie

    I had walked into a knoll about 4 miles from any roads to set up and glass. I had been seeing alot of sign in the area and although there were a lot of people, 95% of them would only get out of the Jeep to get a beer. I was glassing for an hour when I finally picked out a buck about a half a mile away. I made a 2 mile circle around to get down wind. Well needless to say I ended up losing that deer. I was disapointed but the deer was not all that big. So I proceed to walk back to my spotting scope on the hill. I am about 500 yards from my scope when I lock eyes with this buck. He jumps up and starts running about 150 yards. I tried to stop him to no avail. I put the cross hairs right on the front of his chest and squeezed. The 7MM Dakota put him in the dirt in a hurry. That is when I made a specticle of my self by yelling and screaming. I finally got him packed out and I will take him up to Mogollon taxidermy this weekend. The lesson learned this trip is don't always focus way far away. Sometimes they are closer than you think.

    My Desert Mulie

    Unit 39. I think I put in about 20 miles the last two days, but it was well worth it.

    Success in 36C!

    My friend Shayne drew a 36C Oct. tag. We headed down yesterday to one of my favorite glassing spots. We saw 30 or so deer this morning and 4 bucks. This guy showed up and we could not resist. Shayne made a great 320 yard shot to put down this nice buck.

    Hunting channels

    The outdoor channel and the men's channel have good hunting shows. Eastmans, Primos, Hunting with the pros are a few of my favorites.

    My Nov. buck

    A buck like that should be dumb enough to kill with a bow. heck why don't you just take your knife and stab him!

    drop away rests

    I shoot the NAP and I love it. I have been shooting a lot more consistent since I purchased the rest. Every bow is different as you know so, find the one that best fits your bow and arrow set up.

    New Rifle Help!!!!

    270 wsm, can't go wrong if you are going with the short mag. Other choice would be .280 remington. You can use the 140 grain accubond in both.

    Some Bow Kills

    I don't think it really matters all that much, as long as you remember how great of a hunt it was when you look at the antlers on the wall. Nice buck and bull, congrats.

    Archery Research Velocity

    That is a good point. I did notice all of the adjustments on the bow. I love the bow I shoot now. I don't know why I think I need a new one. I guess they are just fun to play with.
  24. I am looking at getting a new bow. I have a PSE primos edition bow. It is a good bow but I am always wanting to play with something new. Has anyone shot one of these AR velocities or know anyone that has?

    Primers

    I have always used fed 215 for my magnums and 210 for my .280 and .243. I have only had one primer out of god knows how many that did not have an anvil in it. I really like them.
