    Any Border Issues 36C ?

    We had the first hunt in 36C. There is no longer a border patrol checkpoint near Elk Horn ranch. We had illegals come thru our evening hunt first day. Found fresh trash and camps each day hiking in. Helicopters flying low and then lights and sirens flying down the ranch road we were off of the last day. Luckily we got it done and got out of there in 3 nights. I'd say it's the worst I've ever seen there. GL

    Help from NC

    We drew a 36 tag in '19. First time in there. We did have a chance a good buck. Like most are stating, plenty of deer. Really cool country- think oak savanna. Our hunting experience though was not the best as we had illegals walking thru camp every night, had illegals walk below us as we were glassing once, and our friends camp a mile away from us had the BP chopper land 200 yards from his tent and round up 7 drug runners at 1:00AM. I don't think we we in 'danger' it's just not the hunting experience I want.

    Choosing a bow

    Congrats! The 90% let off on the new PSE's is a game changer. It's also the lightest of those bows.

    Yep....again....

    Been watching this one. Great looking rifle! FWIW- My sons 6.5CM 22" barrel chrono'd at 3047, 3048, 3050 fps, true to factory ammo claimed velocity (3050). No loss due to barrel length.
  12. Worked my butt off all month to find deer. Finally get a shooter and manage to slip into bow range. Great broadside shot at 35 yards. I see him crashing and busting Down the canyon. Wait a little bit and start the track. Im pumped. Find some blood but immediately get concerned. 3 hours later I find my broadhead. Its clean of blood but has fur and flesh on it. 3 more hours I relocate the buck and hes up and rutting his does? Small bloody wound on his shoulder. Wtf happened? Did this broadhead fail to open and penetrate? I have no clue. Any ideas? Ill never shoot a mechanical again!
  13. Great fishing boat! Full carpet interior, live well, rod locker, storage, 2 perfect seats, 1 year new Honda 2.3 (has 5 year warranty) 50 thrust minkota, fish finder. Lake ready.

    Backpack suggestions

    I've used the badlands 2200 for 2 seasons. It handled an elk quarter just fine, an entire coues and recently a mule deer with my bow strapped to it too. Light and strong. http://www.badlandspacks.com/badlands-2200-hunting-pack

    My 2019 archery buck

    Let me start by saying it’s been 4 years since I killed a deer so this one means a lot. Literally 1000’s if miles travelled and 100’s of miles hiked. Countless failed stocks, missed shots, etc. When it all comes together with a bow there is nothing better. I had chased this buck a few days prior and he decided to billy goat it up and over the summit of the nastiest mnt. I thought I had busted him out of there. A few days later I got in there to see if I could pick him back up and found a few does. Waited it out and he came into view rutting one of them. He followed that doe right to within 46 yards of me. I got to full draw and ....Wish I remembered the shot. Buck fever is a real thing I guess. All I know is he piled up under the most majestic saguaro less than 10 seconds and 20 yards from impact. DRT!

    Lion unit?

    I tried calling in pigs last Jan and had a lion charge me from out of nowhere. I can only assume he was already stalking me. Maybe got to 50 yards before I crapped myself, stood up, and yelled. No side arm and bow was on the ground or I'd have my cat. Mistakes were made. 36's full of them.
  17. We set out on my son’s 4th Jr hunt this week. Plenty of scouting during the archery season paid off but also made for a quick hunt. Small hike into our first glassing spot and right at first light my son found 3 bucks. A friend was helping and thought the best buck was a small 2. Later we realized he was on different bucks. We had several bucks in this canyon now. After an hour my son pointed us to the bucks he found again and told us that was a tall 3x3 and he wanted to try and get to him. We closed the distance to about 600 yards and discovered his young eyes to be correct. A very nice 3x3 in full velvet. We managed another 40 yards before the canyon dropped away from us and set up for the shot. 569, one practice shot, 540, one hit. Unfortunately the buck took a nice tumble and luckily got held up on a century plant otherwise it might have found the bottom of the canyon. Most of the velvet was damaged in his fall. We didn’t realize exactly how steep and high these bucks were until we got there. It took over an hour to get down from the ridge and back up to the other side of the canyon. 1 hour+ to get 550 yards. My son loaded all the meat and the caped buck into his pack and we were back to the truck at noon. Quick work of his Jr tag. This is his 4th coues and his best to date. This deer is all his too. He found the spot, found the deer, made the move, handled the shots, and packed him out. He’s asked to have this deer mounted and I am really looking forward to having a memory of this jr hunt forever. Gavin is confident he can give us a velvet mount. Can’t wait to see how he turns out. Thanks for reading. pics coming

    Opening morning Jr success

    I think I got the pics figured out.
  20. Thx Lance. Good info! I used his ballistics 2629 .789 300 and my 6.5 CM round still is flatter out to 1100 but not faster. Appreciate the education.
  21. Like new. Used this month to sight in. Paid $60. For sale $45. Tucson great shape. 1 bolt slightly bent from recoils. Does not affect sled at all
  22. Tac, I’m curious now. what are the ballistics for your 338?
