    Dead Cardinals

    Okay now back to what is the best Deer rifle cartridge a 3006 or a .22mag.

    FS Ground Blind

    Now thank the people that Took it To the Top many times. They actually helped you. Controversy marketing at work.

    What's your research on these rifles?

    You left out the detail of what brand of truck that you will carry the rifle in. You will get more opinions then.

    New shooting sticks on the market

    A much easier way is to get the same sticks and use 4-5 castration bands at the pivot point. Farm supply stores have a bag of 100 castration bands for a couple bucks. Lots of other uses for the strong bands.
  5. Well every post I read today is about cause and effect of OVERPOPULATION. When will we do something about the real reason why we need to dig up, cut down, blade up, etc. more of mother earth to feed, water and provide toys ie. more copper for whatever to ever increasing masses.

    Ethics

    This discussion problem is a direct result of overpopulation. The population of the US has doubled in the last 60 years. How many years will it take to double again? You will have to get used to living elbow to elbow, blind to blind. Get used to it or do something about it.

    Changing a tire

    People who put never seize on, or loosen their nuts, please put a sign on the back saying " back off I am stupid." Get the right tools and learn how to use them or stay close to home. It is better that you have to wait for someone to come along to help you than for you to lose a wheel while going 100 mph ( ie. over your ability to drive) and kill another person. Come on guys don't tell people your stupid tricks. Not everyone knows to do things right. Discount is right, tighten to specs.

    Holiday Hunters

    What is worse is getting home and finding your gun case empty. My Buddy left a Browning Double Auto on the ground where we were hunting. We went back and it was gone. Never have been able to hunt any holidays except New Years and my Birthday.

    WTB starter 223 near Kingman

    Any one like the Ruger all American with the short barrel?

    Value of rifle needed

    Most posters don't know what MOA is either. When they say 1/4 MOA for all practical purposes it means 1/4" group at 100 yards. But, as Jack O'Connor said "you have to take a little salt with the figures". I think that if I can hit My Old Asprin bottle at 100yds. its all good.
  12. What Bill says is true. The animals will always be around but, hunting as we know it may not be for long. The bighorn sheep on the Catalinas for example, many people are against putting them there because they think that hunters just want to shoot them. If a season was opened you will hear more screaming. Now the pope has said that animals have a soul and will be in heaven. This stuff is what you should be worried about. Plus the fact that this state, country, world has over reached its carrying capacity of people, unless you want to live like sardines.
  13. See you don't need all that stuff if you know how to throw a baseball.

    7mm or .308?

    This is just a ford/chevy post and I am surprised at all the posters that are confused about what is actually the subject. It is not clear. It could be a ford/toyota post. What bothers me is that a youngster reading these posts would think that to "hunt" one must have a super mag 1000 yard sniper rifle. Do you hunters have statistics that indicate the hold under or over for the curvature of the earth? PS This is the posters first post. inklevr mmmmm wonder what that means.
  15. The commission voted to change some seasons without any study. The law of unintended consequences will apply. Do you know that crossbow and archery equipment is allowed in a muzzleloader hunt? The commissioner that likes muzzleloaders stuck that in despite the objections of staff and the bowhunters president. It is supposed to be a test but he will be the next Chairman. Hunters you should be watching these meetings on the web cams or go to meetings or quit complaining.

    G+F hunter survey

    Easy check point= every hunter sends in a dated pic of his animal with gut pile and tag attached. And a clear close up of self, license, and tag on animal. If no success then a dated pic of unused tag, license and self the day after the season closes. You all know how to do a selfie right? LOL
  17. I have noticed an increase in knee-jerk complainers who don't have a clue and wont read the real facts or have an agenda that just wont change. Sound familiar?

    Goose hunting?

    Spring snows in MO.

    Second cat of the year

    Wow again, another poster leaving because his feelings are hurt. How can you get your feelings hurt by someone that you don't know who said something on the internet. You internet rookies need a little basic training. A: People on the internet are usually NOT experts. B: They are giving you their OPINION based on little information. C: You will not die if they don't agree with you. C: Lots of people don't agree with me and, it is irritating to hear/read opinions by people who think that they know everything by those who actually do. LOL Are you getting the picture or are you needing more detail? The trick is to just walk away and cool off and come back another day. You can enjoy/learn from this site it is up to you.
  20. Not finding doves in Marana area.

    Keeping a barrel clean

    Got some small balloons and put in my pack. You need something to keep the little mesquite leaves out of the barrel.
  22. Went out to Red Rock, no doves.

    Spring Draw Results?

    This year you can blame it on the Delta Bravos, David Sams, that sent in a bad credit card number or were overlimit, deadbeat dads, and etc.
  24. Ole one oneshot just had to take a cheep shot. LOL
