no worries

We got hit this morning for a deer tag. First 2 tags went thru last Friday so I thought the the 3rd tag wasn’t going to happen. Our choices were October and November Coues hunt in 34 and 36. I was kinda surprised that the 3rd tag didn’t hit on Friday considering our hunts weren’t top shelf choices. Im wondering if they didn’t finish on Friday with the second go around ( choices 3-5).

My card just got hit again for a 3rd deer tag. We were hit twice on Friday and thought that we only went 2 for 3 this year. Maybe it’s the second round.

Wow. I just spoke with him last week. He’s in my phone as Hoghunter and my family always laughs about his name when he calls or text. Going through our text messages just now makes it hit home. Here’s a pic he sent me last week of his first elk that he killed with a 243. I wish I could post the text messages from him describing the hunt. Super funny 😄 story ending with him catching the scabbies from it.

Any honey holes marked on the maps? A couple of my favorite units there. GLWS

I sent you a PM

I used one last year and was very impressed with the clarity. It seems to be equal to the best 65s out there. Optic planet or one of the big suppliers has them for $1399 with a neoprene case. It’s the 125th anniversary addition and will be black instead of green.

Sold Pending Funds thanks Jim

Well hunted .260 Remington Tikka stainless fluted super light in black factory plastic stock. Stock was bedded with Devcon and dremeled to eliminate pressure points. Stock has numerous scratches from hunting Coues and javelina. Load development and several hunts puts the round count between 150 and 200. Could be lower but I’d rather guess on the high side. Current mild load is 143 ELDX at 2820. This load was used in another Tikka and shoots .6 MOA in both. Might tighten up if you want to spend time tuning it, but I was happy to have one load for both rifles. Longest kill was a Coues at 560 yards by a 13 year old youth hunter. Several javelina out to 300 yards. It’s been a great rifle but my kids are have gotten bigger and want to move into larger calibers. Bare rifle $500 FTF in Tucson Additional items such as rings ,brass and dies available.

Pm headed your way.

Just passing on “good mojo. “

Still looking or “found one” ? I have one with the laser that I purchased for my wife. She prefers my 38 Ruger. Let me know if you’re interested. thanks Jim

Good glass for the money. GLWS

We have hunted deer and javelina out of a RZR 1000 XP4 and it does work. It gets pretty tight with 3 or 4 adults and all the gear. Might take multiple trips to haul out a large animal. The trade off to me is having the RZR for non hunting rides. It’s fast and a lot of fun to blast around trails, beaches or wherever your weekend takes you. Those weekends happen a lot more often than hunting trips.

The skull plate is still intact but is pretty small. I started with leaving a little extra and trimmed it down until it just fit inside the edges.

Decided to try a $28 Amazon mount on my last Coues. It’s made of metal but the shiny paint gave it a plastic look. I used a scrubbing pad and soft scrub to dull/distress the finish. Overall, it’s pretty well made and simple to throw together.

Not mine but thought someone might need them.

Did I miss the price?

Pack arrived and is in perfect condition. thanks Jim

Thanks for the responses. Lance, my eyecups twist out just like yours. The eyecup just didn’t seem that tight or secure when I twist them out. It’s not like they are going to fall out but they wiggle some. So, I was trying to clamp on to the armored barrel with the eyepiece twisted in. The barrel angles out, this causes the digiscope to slide off the back as I tighten down the ring. I spoke with a rep from Meopta and he had a couple of suggestions. He recommended to twist the eyepiece in and try to build up the barrel next to the eyepiece so it matches the wider part, using inner tube or similar material. He also said they cold make a custom ring that had a taper built in to it. He had no idea what that would cost but alluded to being pretty pricey. I think for now , I’ll try to get more secure fit with the eyepiece twisted out. I’ll also mess around with inner tube or O rings and see if I can find a way to secure it with the eyepiece twisted in. thanks again Jim

I ended up buying a Novagrade double gripper to digiscope with an 8 plus iPhone. It works great with my spotting scope but the Meopta 15s angle out so much from the eyepiece that it’s difficult to tighten down. If I screw the eyepiece out it kinda works but just doesn’t feel secure. Am I doing this wrong ? Anyone have a solution on how to attach a digiscope to Meopta or other optics that are angled? thanks Jim

$289 is hard to beat.

Selling 3 CamPark T40 trail cameras. Purchased last September. Will include 6 micro SD cards (32 G Samsungs). I used these for 4 months and decided to stick with Stealth Cam. Good picture quality , I haven’t used the video option. Lots of info and positive reviews on the internet. My only complaint is they trigger easily and since I leave them out for months they can fill the SD card before I check them. Windy areas will need some vegetation removal to prevent shots of blowing grass or bushes. $100 for 3 cameras and 6 micro SD cards Located in Tucson cameras are SOLD
