19a? Good job

The application of the law is the BS. I've been a LEO and I know that laws are what lawyers say they are and all are open to interpretation. Prime example- Forest Service wanted to stop people leaving camping trailers vacated at camping sites for more than three days and they got shut down by people with enough power than the Forest Service. Otherwise if some jerks were right, I'd be able to pull my truck up to somebodies trailer and take it if it has sat vacated for three days. My camera on a tree isn't hurting anybody, but somebody selfishly laying claim to a camping site by parking their trailer there a week or so in advance is stopping other people from using that campsite. I am not saying this to start an argument with people who leave trailers to hold a camping site, but rather just to demonstrate how laws get bent and twisted. Anybody who expresses the law as being black and white is truly the most naive.

I think the bull in front is grateful for his high ground clearance.

You can smell those gears grinding. I'm betting he'll be considerably bigger this year, if'n he is still out there.

Good point. I think it is safe where it is at, but I will definitely consider that fact when I am putting the white flash cameras out. I actually just received a Stealth G42C in the mail. So I will be able to compare the two white flash cameras. From what I can tell so far, the biggest deterent to white flash cameras is the possible detection by other hunters.

I am curious about the Cuddeback that offers a cam with a white incandescent flash that takes a fully colored night time photo. I am curious if any of you all have had any experience with these types of cams. Do they scare game? How is the quality of the pics?

Here is a little follow up. I like the night time color photo and so far, it seems to not bother the critters as much as one might guess. Here is a rag horn bull, but the cuddeback is color photos are impressive.

That little bugger needs an umbrella and a drink in a coconut shell. I bet that bear is a Jimmy Buffet fan.

Good price. Bikes can be fine hunting tools.

cool.

I don't know. but I think the Cards could possibly edge out the Seahawks for the western division

I think east and western facing cams have more problems in the summer cuz the noon sun is directly overhead. I think southern facing cameras become more of an issue in the winter months when the sun is low on the horizon.

So are the Arizona Cardinals going to the playoffs this year?

Hey Nature Bob, you hear about the North Dakotan coyote that got it's foot caught in a trap? Darn thing chewed off three of it;s legs and was still caught in the trap. I'm from Montana and we don't know what to think about them North Dakotan folk.

That's the good stuff right there. Sure to get anybody hooked. Knowing where that bull is at, might make it hard for you to sleep at night, Like the thought occurs, it's 5 am, do you know where your bull is at? I feel for you bro, you got it bad.

I don't think width will get much more at this point. I think you will see an increase in tine length. It appears to me to be a younger deer. That's sorta what I was figuring. Young deer, Other deer I have seen this year grew very wide before the beam arched upward, so I guess the width is determined fairly early in the growth cycle. Makes sense. I don't have a deer tag this year, but if he survives till next year, might get interesting.

here's another view

Will it add any more width from this point?

Ha, ha... So I am a dope smoking flag burner? Wow, you guys are clever. I mean, you got me figured out. But you left a few things out. You forgot to mention ISIS sympathizer, Satan worshiper, leading contributor to the Re-Elect Nancy Pelosi Fund and vice president of MBLA. though now I am bragging. Actually I am a Veteran. My two brothers are Veterans. My pa is a Military Retiree. My Grandpa fought two tours in the Philippines. My great grandpa fought in the European Theater of WWI. Seeing as how my paternal lineage dates to some of the first Anglicans to step foot on this continent, I suspect my family has fought in just about every war this country has ever fought. So go on and keep judging because you are so good at it. Oh'yea, as a former correctional officer, I have met my fair share of "Holier than Thou" folk. Nothing like being told by a child rapist that I am going to heck, So heck, this is nothing new.

Whatever unit my tag is for.

Just a good ol'boys Never meaning no harm been running from the law since the day they was born Just a good ol'boys Some day the Mountain may get them but the law never will. Not that anybody should ever broke the law or anything, but just think, there was a time when it was illegal to drink a beer

Heck, just stick that 300WSM in a Boyds laminate stock and a nice soft recoil pad. Get the length of pull exact and put a soft cheek rest on it and you will dramatically reduce felt recoil. The money you save can buy a bunch of ammo for practice cause ammo aint cheap either. Even less expensive, make a small sand bag that you can stick in the rifle's hollow buttstock for target practice. You'll probably be able to add a pound or two to the weight of your rifle and that will dramatically reduce recoil.

Sounds like you want a more pleasant/enjoyable rifle to hunt and target shoot. In that case, the exact caliber probably isn't as important as the stock. One thought, shoot a bunch of different rifles (if that is possible) and find out what jives with you. Maybe even a custom fitted rifle is in your future.

I'm not sure what to think. To be honest it's almost funny if it wasn't for the fact that it is proof of how unethical some folk are.

I think God shoulda put antlers on chipmunks.
