I stand corrected. I must have been looking at those 1 pounders of re16 on the same page.... Dyslexia strikes again!

Bruno shooter's supply. https://www.brunoshooters.com Looks like they currently have re26 in 1 lb containers in stock, they are taking back orders on 8lb jugs.

I'll take the re17, and maybe the 4350 as well. PM sent.

Last year, Bubba was skunked for both deer and Javlina. Because his sister has take a few animals, he really wanted to enjoy some success this year. We started glassing at 6:20 AM and almost immediately, he spotted a group of 4 bucks. We watched them work their way closer to us for almost an hour. It looked like 528 yards was as close as they were going to get. I had the boy get prone, We dialed the scope on his heavy barreled .243 up to 525. First shot was a miss (high). Second was a hit, but the deer was still up. It took two more shots and the deer went down for good. We had to cross a steep and thick wash to get to the animal. I was really wishing I had another person to keep an eye on the spot that the deer went down and guide us to it. When we got to where I though we should be, nothing. We spent 90 minutes searching for the deer. It was Bubba that found the first sign of blood. Once we were on the blood trail, we found the buck 15 yards up the hill. The original spot where i thought we should be looking was over 150 yards away. We managed to get the boned out meat and head back to the truck by 1:00. I am so proud of my son, for keeping calm while shooting at a live animal. He has practiced on milk jugs out that far, but never an animal. I am also proud of how he did not show any frustration when searching all over for a downed deer that seemed to disappear (at least not as much frustration as I was showing!) And finally, I realize that I need to get my plump fanny into better shape If I want to continue to hunt with him as he gets older.... I am exhausted!

I like to filet out the breast meat, and soak in salt water for a couple of hours. Last night, we put the little filets on a skewer, salted, pepperedm and grilled, hitting it with BBQ sauce as it cooks. Tonight I plan soak in milk, dredge in seasoned flour and deep fry. I'll serve the "dove nuggets" with a couple of dipping sauces.

Advice on youth rifle
Couesdeer replied to bomberodevil's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Sounds like a solid plan. A .270 loaded down will make a nice youth rifle capable of killing anything one can hunt in AZ. -
I have three sets of binos that need new homes. All are in very good condition, they look to have been well taken care of. Lenses look perfect. All come with lens caps and cases. 1) Bushnell Powerview 16X50. $30 2) Galileo 8X40. $15 3) Galileo 7X50. $15 Optically they are what you's expect from an entry level bino. Great for kids to knock around or to loan to your less than careful brother-in-law. Take all three for $50 I can meet anywhere in the north Tucson/OV/Catalina area. If you want them shipped, Actual USPS shipping charges will apply.
