Explorer, is this in the regs? Don't mean to hijack the OP.....I think this is an interesting debate! Didn't to mean to be so LOUD......sometimes I forget to click off the caps lock!

WE LIVE IN AMERICA AND YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CARRY A GUN. THIS IS THE WAY I SEE IT! SO IN AUGUST WHEN RIFLE BEAR AND ARCHERY DEER ARE BOTH OPEN IS IT WRONG TO CARRY BOTH A GUN AND A BOW?

I have a 22-250 that I really enjoy shooting its a great shooting functioning rifle. Really like the weight for how it shoots, the action is really smooth and cant beat the adjustable trigger. Mine drives tacks at 200 yards, never really tried it past 400! Having one chambered in 270 I'm sure with trigger time and a good scope one could have a pretty lethal Coues gun. Great gun for the $$. I give them 5 out of 5 stars.

CLASSIC DIY! Congrats.

dang!!!!!!!! Is that AZ public land? Amazing deer.

How about I-40! Anywhere in-between California and New Mexico....pick a section!

PM Sent!

I really like the split or kicker of the passenger side G3. I'd shoot him!

Got to love CW......... Simple questions for support on a hunt and all the questions are answered within about a day! Good luck on that hunt!

Holy G2'Z! Like those tall bucks!

"No big deal!..........Drive 8 hours...........relocate a giant 4x4 mule deer............walk up to him the next morning and smoke him!" Some guys have all the luck or skill, however you want to look at it! Good job!

I have one with 280K, it's pretty much my weekend warrior and still runs like a raped ape....needs a little cosmetic face lift though. You have a very nice truck!

Guess I should have been more clear. I was suggesting to just find targets. But lots of guys practice shooting rocks. I hear Steven Renella has a good recipe for rabbits.

Anyone been glassing in the past few days in central units for bears? 22S, 24B, 21...........Just wondering if this moisture and a little cooler temperatures has gotten the bears to move onto some of the pears.

Check with Sunstate rentals in mesa. I know they sell their diesel Bobcat brand workhorse rigs from time to time for a reasonable price.

Brendon, I was thinking about a few things that new hunters often over look. There is one thing in particular that is common, and this is finding game in a scope when its "Go Time". I remember the first deer I killed, it was a mule deer at about 300 yards. I had buck fever so bad I couldn't get really comfortable shooting prone off a rock, had a hard time getting settled in with the scope etc....... it ended up working out with a one shot kill but it could have been smoother. Since then I have worked a lot on my trigger pull, shooting ability and finding the target quickly. Over time it will become second nature. If you practice this will have one less thing to worry about. You can practice when out at the range or if you are out hiking and scouting and have a rifle with you. Pick out a specific rock or cactus with the naked eye then get rested on a rock tree etc...... and practice finding your target. Obviously keep your scope dialed in at a lower setting then when your on your target zoom in. Remember be SAFE about this. Make sure your not aiming towards hiking trails, roads, campgrounds etc...Don't have rounds in the chamber or gun if your not ready to shoot. Make sure the adult you are with is on board with what you are doing as well. Good Luck!

If you have time or access to download podcast, get podbean and listen to the Jay Scott podcasts. You can scroll through all the episodes and listen to the ones that interest you. He did some last fall on early season Coues hunts that are loaded with valuable information on glassing gear and when and where to look. The Gritty Bowman is another good one to get information on gear etc. Good Luck this fall!

I figure I owe it to this thread to give it an updated tally. Lots of nice rifles out there! 14 270 12 6.5 10 7MM 10 300WM 9 243 9 257WBY 7 270WSM 6 338 4 300RUM 5 280 3 25-06 3 30-06 2 308 1 7MM WSM 1 260 1 22-250 1 7-08 1 7STW 1 264WM 1 300WSM 1 6MM

I agree with the Dirtbag! Give him a couple years.......... Especially if he's in 22 or 24b.

Wow..... They are proud of their product. I'd support Kuiu or another hunting company before I'd spend that kind of $$ on a lightweight tent.

Where are you located?

Nacho is up for sale. 8 year old bay gelding. Not a big horse but he's a good one. I have used him on several pack trips, including packing out a bear last fall. He can be ridden by kids with riding experience. No Kick, Buck. Shoes and leads great. Call with questions 602-292-9264. $800
