We have had our boy out on a few camping trips already, but Friday was his first time out hunting with us. At 10mo he is running around like crazy and loves being outside. He loved riding around in the pack and seeing new things. It was a great day out with the family, and as a bonus his mom killed a pig with her bow. I can't wait to make more memories in the future. Ready to go

new toy, what to build..?
thegunsmith2506 replied to southernxpress's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
That is a cool action for a custom build. I chambered mine in .243AI. If I had another chance, I think I would go .260AI. Let us know what you decide. -

Personally I think this event use to be a lot better. It seems like it has really gone down hill in the last few years. I use to really enjoy all the seminars they had, but now they seem pretty lame. In years past they had the Gunwerks guys, Cameron Hanes, Mark Healey, Randy Ulmer, and several others I am sure I am forgetting. There also use to be a lot of good deals on new products, magazine subscriptions, and other hunting related gear. Last time I went there were more non hunting related booths than hunting related. It also doesn't help that it is the only weekend you can hunt Javalina on the general hunt.

My sister and brother in law were up at my place this weekend. Sometime between Friday at 5pm and Sunday at 5pm someone broke into their home on the east side of Tucson and stole several items. We are already checking all the local pawn shops and Craigslist ads, but please let me know if you see any of this stuff for sale in the area. I will post up pictures as I get them.

Here is the cow I shot last month on the late hunt. This is right where she fell. We didn't hardly have enough room to break her down. Hardest stalk, hardest shot, hardest pack out, I have ever had on a cow hunt. In 19a finding them is the easy part.

Congrats! I really like that first picture.

6.5 creed bullet choice help.
thegunsmith2506 replied to 208muley's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Here is one of the 162gr Amax bullets I recovered from my cow elk this year. I was very impressed with how well the bullet held together. This bullet went through both shoulder blades and stopped under the hide. Impact velocity was around 2100fps. -
Congrats! Looks like you had a great time, and got a nice cat as a bonus!

I bought this gun 2 years ago thinking I was going to use it for a deer rifle. Instead I built a .280AI and really have no need for this gun. I don't have the box, but it is brand new and has never been shot. I would like to get $565 out of it. Might be open to trades for other guns or optics of similar value. This picture is not the actual gun, but looks just the same.

Ordered a new Firestorm from the bargain cave on Monday after Christmas. It showed up at the house on the 31st, so on the 1st we headed out in the snow to break it in. First stand about 8am was a blank. On the way to our next spot we cut a set of cat tracks, so we parked and walked in about 300yds to a draw we usually call for foxes. About the 7min mark I had a fox show up at about 60yds. He eventually left without ever getting into range. At 21min I caught a flash of red through the pines. I was thinking another fox until she hit a clearing at about 70yds. I waited until she was behind a snow drift to raise the gun and follow here all the way in. She hung up about 10yds from the call. When she turned to leave, I shot her at about 25yds. First shot was thru some brush and I had to shoot 1 more time as she was running away at about 40yds. Made for a great morning! At 14lbs she is not the biggest cat, but she is about average for what we seem to get. Our Setup Where she fell

I have called them in with lots of different rabbit and bird sounds. I think the key is getting in close before you call. I am sure others here can offer more advice. The FoxPro will help for sure.

We got rid of our Dishnet about 5 years ago. Only thing I really missed was my hunting shows. Then I found WildTv. Now we have amazon, Hulu, and WildTv.
