Awesome video...congrats to both hunters and the video creator! Which hunter made the video? My kids love it too...
-
Yeah I liked that KBS shirt too...was waiting for my kids to read it and ask me what it meant.
-
I regret that I still have every gun I've ever owned...and it's not enough! Still need a bigger cabinet before I can add to the collection...don't get me wrong, most of them are sentimental single shots that have been in the family for years. I'll never get rid of most of them though.

Congrats on a great buck...nice write-up too. Sounds like an awesome hunt.
-
Great job...congrats! That's some pretty awesome character on that buck.

Thanks! We're all lucky because we share a birthday with Amanda! Chef - the kids got me a wild game processing/cooking book...can't wait to try out some of the new recipes soon! -
Free introductory XM on my truck when I bought it...best thing I've found is no retuning or losing all signal out in the hills. Got to listen to football and get score updates while out scouting too...first camping trip to the mountains when we didn't have to retune along the drive sold my wife on it too!
-
Good job...looks like you're having fun scouting and have found some good spots!

13a Archery Strip tag DIY with my family (2013)
bigorange replied to aguas's topic in Mule Deer Hunting
Great buck and awesome getting it done with your family like that! Nice write-up too...don't let anybody knock your choice...it's your tag and your hunt. And now your great memories too! Big congrats! -
If only it were chambered in 3 1/2...then it would be what I'm looking for...
-
Gotta love autocorrect! Sweet deal...wish I had the extra cash right now.
-
Wow...what a first year. That will be hard to beat! Congrats!
-
Congrats! Great start...Big 10 before age 20 would be awesome!
-
Awesome...congrats! I was hoping to see some nice Jr hunt bucks today!
-
Maybe the Trojans figured out how to play again after firing that clown...but yeah I'm not very impressed with Denker at QB...
-
If no AZ tag next year and things work out otherwise, I might be up there with you...not sure what units yet. Unfortunately no info to share as I'm just starting to think about things too.

+1 on what's cheapest and what's clean. Cabelas silent weave has been on sale btw so picked up another set last week. Usually one of the following or mix and match...mostly hunting southern units and desert. Seclusion 3d open country Kings desert Realtree AP Mossy Oak brush I even have some 20-yr old Mossy Oak treestand that I wear every once in a while for nostalgia or after hunting several day and everything else is getting ripe.

Awesome..nice to hear stories like this!

Not sure where to post this, so the campfire it is...wondering what kind of issues (if any) to expect using old ammo. Specifically I have some shotgun shells from my dad that I remember him buying at least 25 yrs ago. Stored in the house at controlled temperature the entire time. I'm on the cheap side so I'd love to go ahead and use them, but want to make sure it's safe. I did shoot some of the .22lr ammo that he had from about the same time without any issues.. If not advisable to shoot, then what's the recommended method of disposal?
-
I liked my Ripcord Code Red until I decided a drop-away wasn't the best rest for me...if you're in the Tucson area I'll make you a good deal on it or you can try it out...
-
Haven't seen this posted on here yet. The SE Regional Shooting Park skeet range in Tucson is now open. Can't wait to try it out! http://webcms.pima.gov/recreation/shooting_sports/

They're pretty easy to change in the field. Be a bit careful when u have blood on your hands though, you definitely don't wanna slip with a havalon. You can get through a coues with a single blade pretty easy. Practice changing the blade before you get in the field, but yeah pretty easy. I use a Leatherman for changing the blades and works fine for me.
-
You're using the wrong kind of saw...gotta use one of the survival saw cables. They work great, just have to get it around the neck just right. Seriously though, love my Havalon...made short work of a coues last year on one blade.
-
I haven't seem anything else about this...maybe I missed it. My buddy tried to buy a shotgun at Wal-Mart last night and was told no firearm purchases due to govt shutdown. I don't know all the details or if it was a unique issue that he ran into...just thought I'd throw it out there as an FYI.
