He goes with me quite a bit. He just recently passed his hunters ed course and will be pig hunting in the spring, and deer hunting in the fall. I have been draggin him along with me since he was about five years old. David

Gino. You could probably get by with just a Mile Marker for the amount you will be using it. I have had a couple in the past on my polaris and my truck with no issues. Add a good bag with all of the goodies for winching; expecially a good snatch block and straps, and you should be good. I also have a place where I can get a good price on one if you want to PM me.

I dropped off about 75 magazines this morning. I had been saving them for years, and finally found a good place for them. David

I love those chocolate colored horns. David

I used to do that in my Kachina out at Pleasand around all the jetski's. David

I was out with my buddy Ben on Saturday morning when we found some muley does. We thought it would be cool to call them in to us. They had gotten to within forty yards when I noticed a coyote coming across the field. My attention instantly turned towards him. I couldn't move to get my rangefinder out, so I asked Ben for a range on him. He thought the coyote was about 500 yards. I got a good rest and let the first shot fly, and then followed up with the second, third, fourth, and finally the parting fifth shot. As you can see in the video the coyote was actually less the 500 yards. By my fourth shot I was leading him by two feet and you can see the dust in the background shows that I was still a foot or more behind him. They sure do run alot faster than you think. I had switched my ammo that morning from .223 69 grain MK's to 55 grain v-max's. But there shouldn't be hardly any differance in ballistics at that range. We actually called in three coyotes while calling the deer. It was still fun trying to hit him, and I learned that I need to lead them a little bit more at that speed, and at least put a rangefinder on them when they are sitting still for me.

I have had the ATS 80 for about five years. The first three years I would pack that thing everywhere. I glass mostly through my spotting scope since I cant see out of one eye. After a while I got real tired of packing that big heavy thing and tried using a the compact Nikon 13-30x50 ED angled. Since then I have only carried the Nikon. It weighs a little over a pound and I would say it is just as clear my Swaro. Plus, it works great for digiscoping. You can also get a 13-40 eyepiece if you need more power. I will probably pick one up soon for mine. David

I was in 6a for the last six days helping a buddy and they were barely talking. We didn't even hear one bugle on Monday. Plus when we did find the good bulls, other hunters haven't learned the first grader rule of playing the wind. There should be a bottle of wind checker sent out to every hunter that draws a tag .

Hey guys, I bought this wondow mount from Steve and he is a great guy to deal with. David

Blake, That is a really good buck. It always pays off in the end when you put the time and effort into scouting. The kill is just he icing on the cake. Congrats on a great archery buck and a fine story as well. David

I have had the same great results. David

Gino, I know it was one of the 8's, but I guess my excitement took over for a moment. No matter what, it is a toad for sure. Congrats to the hunter and the Mullin team. David

I would divulge the score , but I think it would ruin the surprise. Somewhere around 4*^ 3/8's. David

Man, that is one good lookin buck. David

I use a very good Steamlight twintask UV light for blood trailing at night. David

I wonder what other rights they will try to take away from us when Obama is in your town. Bill, I know you look at this guy as a Rambo type, but he volunteered to be the person to carry the gun. The entire day was coordinated in advance with law enforcement just so it was not viewed as a bunch of nuts running around with guns. If we do not unite together to protect our rights, they will be taken away before we can blink an eye. You have so many more years of wisdom and experience than I do; and I respect that fact, but I am not going to let our goverment determine when and where I am able to carry my firearms to protect myself and my family. David Leading The News D.C. delegate calls for ban on guns near Obama By Jordy Yager Posted: 08/19/09 05:51 PM [ET] Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) called on the Homeland Security Department and the U.S. Secret Service on Wednesday to provide tighter restrictions on citizens carrying weapons, openly or concealed, while in the vicinity of President Barack Obama. Norton, who sits on the Homeland Security Committee, made the request after numerous news reports have shown groups of people brandishing firearms while outside of events held by Obama over the past several weeks. “It is clear that if the Secret Service can temporarily clear all aircraft from air space when the president is in the vicinity, the agency has the authority to clear guns on the ground that are even closer to the President,” Norton said. But the Secret Service says that Obama was never in danger when a group of about a dozen protesters brandished their firearms outside the Phoenix convention center earlier this week where he was speaking. One man carried an AR-15 assault rifle, but Arizona law allows people to carry unconcealed guns and police made no arrests. “This doesn’t change what already exists for Secret Service,” said Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley of Norton’s request. “Whenever the Secret Service travels somewhere in the country, we are able to determine what the security parameters will be for any particular site and anything within those parameters fall under federal law as far as being able to control what happens there.” “So even if the state law says that you can have a gun as long as it’s not concealed, it doesn’t mean that you can bring a gun into a protected site.” Norton has been battling with gun rights supporters for years because of the District’s former ban on handguns, which was struck down by the Supreme Court last year. More recently, a bill to grant the District a representational vote in Congress has stalled in the House because of an amendment that would make it easier to own a gun in D.C. The Arizona event followed a similar instance in New Hampshire – which has open-carry laws – last week when police arrested a man for having a loaded, unlicensed gun in his car near where Obama was set to hold a healthcare-related forum. Another man outside of that event had a licensed handgun strapped to his leg and held a sign that read: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” “In both instances, those guys were outside of the outer-most perimeter of security, so what would apply is state law,” said Wiley. “They never had any proximity to the president at any time. They weren’t trying to gain access to the event and they weren’t in a position outside the event where they could have affected the president.” But the Brady Campaign, a gun control group, said that these increasing instances of brandishing firearms in public could lead to escalated scenarios in the future that put the president at risk because it stretches law enforcement thin. “Law enforcement has to keep an eye on these people,” said Paul Helmke, president of the group. “So the more people [who] carry guns, the more people you need to keep an eye on them, which stretches limited resources further. You get an event like in Phoenix with maybe 12 or 13 people, what if at the next event there are 100? And when you take the law enforcement resources away, that makes the president more vulnerable.” Larry Pratt, executive director of the Gun Owners of America, a gun rights group in Virginia, said that this is nothing new nor is it different than law-abiding gun owners bringing their weapons into restaurants, as they have been known to do periodically in the Commonwealth. “There have been a few calls to the police and the police have come to the point now where they ask one question: ‘What are these gun carriers doing?’ And they get the response that they’re eating and say, ‘Well, if they start doing something, let us know.’ So when somebody goes to a rally, obviously if the president is there it’s going to get more attention, but I don’t think we’re really dealing with anything different.”

I totally agree with what you said. The weapon was unloaded, plus they had a police escort the entire time. The escort was for there safety from anybody that might try to grab the gun from him in protest. The situation might have had some people disagreeing with him, but it sure got everybody to take a close look at our gun rights. David http://www.arizonashooting.com/v3/viewtopi...f=2&t=86525

I would like to hear some real world feedback on this peep site if anybody is using one. I have an unorthodox shooting style where I have to draw with my right arm and bring the string under my chin so I can use my left eye to see my sights. I am almost blind in my right eye so I can't switch to a left hand bow. David http://www.keystonecountrystore.com/Archer...PEP1432202.html

I was heading through Camp Verde Saturday morning on the General Crook Trail and had to stop at the gas station to put some air in my airbags to pull my fifth wheel. I rolled in and there was a game and fish truck with a bear trailer on the back giving him some water. David

Shot him near Payson looking into the back window of someones house about midnight. They had to move him into another unit since there was a hunt going on in 23 and you can't eat the meat of a tranquilized animal for fifteen days. David

So has anybody had the chance to shoot this fire breathin bow? I shot the X-force last weekend and loved it, but was thinking about the Omen in the back of my mind. David

Mike, Check out wells fargo. I know they have hired some people within the last couple months. Check on there website for home mortgage consultants. David

Thats pretty cool. You don't hear or see that very often. The coyotes are really hungry right now. David

This is pretty stupid, but I always shave my head down to a number 1 before the fall hunting season gets started. Then I pull out my skill card and throw away my lucky one . David
