    What bullet weight

    The problem with powerbelts is people try to push them too fast with poor results, they fail miserbly. I use the 250 grain Barnes MZ's in front of 150 grains of pyro and a cci #209 primer, I get velocities around 2075 fps and use this combo in conjunction with a leupold vx3 3.5x10 scope with the cds system. extremely lethal and tested out to 300 yds.

    My son matthews first gobbler (Indiana)

    Saturday morning was a beautiful morning, birds gobbling everywhere and we were on our 2nd sit when it all came together for my son at 8:35, The 1st sitting had 3 gobblers all triangulating to our hideout when a car drove by in the dirt road scaring them. The second sit had us further back when I was able to reel in another 3 gobblers and I sweet talked them into 40yds when my son finally pulled the trigger. I wish I had it on video my son is 11yrs old and weighs around 95lbs and when he pulled the trigger all I saw was a bird hitting the deck and my sons feet flying over his head = I didn't think the 2 3/4" turkey load would be as harsh as my 3 1/2" shells for him but my my my. Lol Here he is with his first gobbler. 9 3/4" beard 1 1/8" spurs 21.5 lbs

    Elk/Antelope Draw Results!!!!

    I didn't even draw a tag and I still think its mean.......your tag should be withdrawn as a penalty. I just happen to know someone who needs one...

    They are starting to hit CC

    Eh. I'm much more interested in the leftover list........pfft on the results!

    Any youth drawn yet?

    I think your missing the one major factor......nonresident. We are not going to have ALL the opportunities a resident is going to have and we want to make the few opportunities we do get on what WE feel best suits us.

    Any youth drawn yet?

    Like I said he wants a bull. Hes got 2 points as of now. Right now his mindset is a big bull....obviously that requires bp's His choice not mine but I think he looks at our walls in my home and sees all of my trophies, hence my saying each child has his/her own goals. My son is going to be a lifelong hunter im sure of that so im not worried about him losing interest.

    Any youth drawn yet?

    Guys I do agree, my son has had some really good success. His first year no, but what was etched in him from that first unsuccessful year was the desire and ambition to make the next year a success. He learned what to do and what not to do and the following year he took a doe and a nice small racked buck. He knows hes not going to kill everytime hes out but its always the "possibility" that it will happen and that is his drive. My son said he would rather not draw a tag then to go after a cow elk, personally I cant blame him but in the end it was his choice that I let him make. Now since he didnt draw he says if he can pick up a leftover cow tag hes all in but dont want to burn his points on a cow elk hunt. Btw my son is 10 yrs old.

    Any youth drawn yet?

    I think it all depends on the youth...each is different and has different levels of goals and aspirations. Can't paint with a broad brush.

    On the plus side I wont be burning all my favorite accumulated bonus points and may possibly get a left over tag with my father in law who so far hasnt drawed either. mostly I wanted my son to draw a tag though.... hes pretty bummed so far.
