    jetboils

    I have the flash and I dont leave the truck with out it. I love it and so do my buddies. They even bought their own fuel cans to use with my jet boil last season lol. I have a bad habit of sleeping at my glassing point. Making hot coffee silently without a fire makes the amazing Arizona morning views while glassing that much better. I have tried and made several alcohol stoves. They work fine but the real issue i had with them is the fuel. No matter what I stored it in inside my pack, it always seems to leak. The sealed cans from Jetboil and similar are just too convenient. My friend cooks in his but I just heat water and use instant coffee so there is never any clean up. Make coffee in my mug and pour hot water in the mountain house bags. Awesome!

    eastern hunting

    I had a friend with wealthy parents who hunted high fence whitetails with his father. He always wanted to brag about the big bucks they killed and never understood why I could care less about comparing with the trophies he "earned". To each there own for certain, but I think Mr. Leupold said it best. "The value of any trophy from the field depends not on its size but on the magnitude of the effort expended in its pursuit."~Aldo Leopold

    Find the .50 caliber Round...

    Oneshot, I believe those rusty ones are the cores from AP or Armor Piercing .50 cal projectiles. If you find one thats not rusted up, they make a pretty good center punch.

    Zeiss Conquest or Bushnell Elite 6500????

    Bet you're excited. Headed to VA tomorrow and droppin off a Kreiger barrel and Rem 700 action on the way. Hopefully it will be a coues slaying 6.5x47 lapua when I get back. Those Conquest can really take a beating. I faceplanted in a dry cobblestone creek bottom a couple years ago packing out a friends buck. Dropped the heavy barreled AR right on the scope. No issues other than cosmetic.

    Zeiss Conquest or Bushnell Elite 6500????

    Yup, Zeiss 6.5-20 conquest with the target turrets. Only con is the 1" tube and low MOA adjustment. When I had one on my 300WM it adjusted to 1150 off a 200yd zero with a 20 minute base. Your .260 should do that. Call me if you have any questions about it.
  8. Dang it hog, We could have done some swappin for that Red Label and my rifles.

    Eberlestock Gunslinger II Pack

    Bought in October to use last season but, season was cut short. Awesome 2400 cu in pack with aluminum frame, perfect for carrying your rifle while backpack hunting or bugging out. Gunslinger II has a wider scabbard capable of accepting an AR with a mag in it. Zero stains, rips, or cuts. Little to no wear at all except outside, bottom edges of frame has a few nicks from setting on rocks but that is expected. Very durable cordura pack. Coyote Brown.

    TRAIL CAMERAS

    I didnt plan on selling my cameras but I will be unable to use them at all for the next few years. I have (3) Uway VH200B and (1) Primo TruthCam 46 ULTRA. All cams are camo, AA, SD, with subdued LEDs, and in great shape. The cams record photos, photo bursts, and video. Uway has video with sound. Primos does time lapse. The Uways are 2 yrs old and didnt get put out this year at all. Bought the Primos in Sept last year. My season was cut way short this year and only set the Primos out for 3 weeks on a scout trip and picked it up during my hunt. Very satisfied with the performance of all of them. Asking $400 shipped or delivered to Phoenix area on Tuesday for all of them.

    My First Shed Of 2014 *UPDATE*

    Thats awesome! I saw one like it this year about 4 miles in and a half mile up. It laid on the other side of a monster canyon and I hate to admit I just didnt have enough steam left to go get it. Good on you!

    Guess the score forum???

    Well, now that the season is over and we are feeling the full on effects of withdrawls. I was sitting here thinking how great it would be if Amanda made a new forum under the hunting tab where field pictures of deer or other critters could be posted and everyone could take a stab at field judging. My thoughts are it would be a place where someone could make a new post with a picture of their freshly harvested animal. People could use their field judging skills and post their guesses. Then down the page a while the actual score could be posted. No prizes or anything, just an opportunity to judge animals that have been taped already. We may learn something or just have a bit of fun. I dont know if something like this already exists. If it does please let me know. I also dont know if this is even possible. Just wanted to see if there was any interest before asking the boss. What do you guys think?

    Animal ID- Fox or Coyote?

    Sorry Scott, got a ton of trail camera footage but, its all 30 second videos from last year when I was developing a new lure. I would be happy to post them as they are pretty entertaining. You will need to send me a PM on how to put a trail cam video on here though. They all seem to be about 13 MB in size.

    Animal ID- Fox or Coyote?

    Poaching a lion - updated with pics

    Soley on the subject of big cats killing just to kill... Long well documented story shortened... The lions in the KOFA national refuge near Yuma were suspects in the drastic decrease in sheep numbers on the refuge. A few lions were collared to gain data on the subject. When a lion spent time in one area that spot was investigated. Multiple deer size game including sheep would be found cached by a single lion in a weeks time. Not eaten or partially eaten. Just stuffed in a bush. The same lions would kill way more than they could eat and move on. (I'm assuming thats where a lot of the comments come from). It was so bad and so obvious that the commision decided if a lion killed X number of sheep in a month, it would be classified an offending lion. Once the lion left the refuge it would be eliminated. Caused quite the stir down here and with activists of the smelly kind. I don't have a dog in this fight but rememered this deal and thought I would share. PS I always buy my lion tag.
  23. Willing to seperate now. Will be in Phoenix next Tuesday or Wednesday mid morning. scope - $1300 tripod - $125
