This is cool. I saw this coppering one time that I really liked and personally would be more interested in if she could master this

Same problem with A22. I had a buddy looking in mn and he sent me a picture of A17. Not sure if the ship but was the new Scheels in Eden Praire. No A22 though.

Battle for Quail.
jdown replied to Elkhunter1's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
That's cool. on hree different occasions jumping ducks I've had hawks or a falcon knock ducks out of the air after I jump shot the tank. One time I took the dang bird when it hit the ground. Figured I spent more that day than he did. The coolest was chasing mearns in sonoita area one year Covey jumped up and a falcon came swooping through the oaks like a f15. He came by my head and was in those birds asses faster than I could get a follow up shot. Birds of prey are bad arses. My son did the tank thing for quail one year after he filled his coues tag. Her was probably 12 I would guess. I was still glassing for a buck over the next ridge and about every 20 mins I heard three quick shots. He limited that morning. The pattern of shots was funny. -

Gilbert. Warner and Val Vista area -
I shared this sentiment in a post about 2 months ago and was called every name in the book at that I was idiot and shouldn't complain and should be better prepared even though I wasn't looking for anything and wasn't complaining etc but will share again. Every major ammo manufacturer has had at least 2 20% increases in cost and obviously double down on the most popular production runs making all that more difficult to find hunting ammo. The supply chain works of we don't f it up. Happy ammo hunting

34A Early Rifle hunt expectations / tips
jdown replied to lamrith's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Just more dead heads from douches shooting further than they can. -
hmmm. that's interesting. That is where babies come from don't forget... I don't know what G&F manages elk herd ratios to, but I would say a 1:15 or so would be appropriate. I guess rarely do I see a heard of more than 10-12 cows without more than 1 bull (spikes included).

SOLD -- Autographed Trio of Pat McManus Books
jdown replied to Outdoor Writer's topic in Classified Ads
That's so cool. I have all of his too and his auto. Would have been a pleasure to meet him. Good luck with sale. -
I got tired of bad taxidermy and no communication. I have been using a guy that is close to 3 hours from me now, but well worth the trip out of the valley. Everything is done in 8-9 months and zero hassle. Found him out of necessity on a warm goat hunt and between my family and my hunting friends probably have taken him a dozen animals since 2015 and each time just perfect and exactly how we drew it up.

I'd pay double for my tags and sit out 2X as long if they would cut the deer and elk tags (especially those slaughter cow hunts) by 1/3. Not sure I can say the same for antelope since you get 2or 3 in a lifetime.

always Happy to hear offers. Thanks all. -
I've got a 92 in 25-20 made in 1910 that I keep thinking would be cool to javi hunt with but I love archery hunting the little buggars so much just haven't. To date have only killed a homer bucket with it at 75yards. They do shoot well. Enjoy!

Disarming his gf husband's friends is a good start though. Way to be methodical.

Friend of my gfs husband? Lol. Cool gun

Can I ask what loads you are shooting out of it? I'm anxious to get it out.

Check out the savage ultralight - proof research carbon barrel. I got one in 280ai earlier this year and absolutely love it (this one is a bit heavier as I changed out stocks and added bottom metal and a brake ~7lbs) - First coues in the books with it on Friday. I ordered a 6.5prc a few months ago and got the update that it is shipping this week (this one will be stock plus brake ~6lbs) - now just need to find ammo.

If you are pushing 300ft/sec with 369grains with only a 24" draw, that seems really impressive to me. I would have said more like 270ish but these bows do amazing things these days. In terms of kinetic energy at 300ft/sec and 369gr you are at 73ft pounds then and plenty to push a fixed blade through out to 50 to even 60 no problem in my opinion. If that 300 comes down to 270 let's say, that drops your Ki to 60ftlbs and I would say 40-50 is a long enough shot then.

Interested in the whole lot. How much for all? Josh 480-369-4923

Only way to tell a snakes age is kill it and cut it in half and count the rings.. Or just kill it and walk away. Sorry snake lovers!

I shoot the 165 spire points. Shoots lights out and has performed well on everything from Buffalo to Bear to Elk to Coues.

Weatherby ammo prices came down a ton in recent years (2-3 years ago). I used to pay close to 80 and the last box I bought I think was 40-45. Creeping back up now of course because everyone can take advantage of consumer buying habits these days...

That's really cool. Would be fun to check that out. My bloodiest would probably have to be: Rem SP10 - 10ga. Lots of fur (coyotes and foxes) and feathers (turkey, Geese, Ducks and even the occasional quail that was on the way back from jumping a tank) Weatherby alaskan 300wby - (7-8 coues, 3 eastern wt, 1 bear, 3 elk (none of mine - I only archery elk), 1 buffalo (not mine) Probably that Rem 541T - took it on a p-dog shoot in NW Co and shot 2 bricks through it (along with a few hundred 22-250 rounds). 3 days and only stopped shooting to eat and clean/rotate guns. Never seen so many targets.
