You shoulda called 911 and said someone in there camp was having cardiac arrest.

Congrats those are all awesome bucks. I love the left side on yours. Is it me or does his shnozz look bulbous and swollen in the first pic?

Hecs body suit.

Same guy called IAborn a "ignernt midwestern twat" for posting a simple question so you shouldn't be surprised. Even seemed to intentionally misspell the word ignorant which I thought was highly ironic.

Well my daughter didn't draw a elk or deer tag for the youth hunt but scored a leftover early 35a tag. Opening morning my mom had to have a valve put in for some upcoming cancer treatments which my wife had to take her to Tucson for. That left me on baby duty. I was at least able to go out in the am just to see how many people were out and try n spot something for her in the evening. Found 5 bucks together and one was a small 3x3. Once mom got back we headed out but there were trucks at the spot so we moved on. She had a crack at a couple forkies that night and missed. Next morning we got on some but they skylined themselves before the shot so we waited for a minute and went up the hill after them, spotted 2 more bucks from there but were to close to house to shoot. Monday evening my buddy Josh came out to help us out and we spotted a spike bedded down at last light. We got her all set up for a 255 yard shot and she missed. Tuesday morning we went out and started glassing different spots and spotted a group of 4 deer out in the open. Got her set up and she was able to get one shot @ 155 yards off before they went up over a ridge. She shot and the buck jumped straight up in the air like 4 feet. It was awesome! More great memories to be had this Halloween. We ended a great day with some trick or treating with all the kids!

I totally spaced too. Hope for some leftovers.

Are you glassing with decent glass and a tripod? That's probably the most important factor.

The baby even came out to poke him in the eyes and get her hands bloody. She also petted him and gave him a few kisses. 139 grain sst did its job. 7mm-08 My buddy Josh and I getting her set up. This one was a miss. Topped off the day with some trick or treating. And my daughter dabbing.

That's awesome! Hats off to your wife for doing the field dressing on her own.

That's an awesome buck! Nice job.

Always cool to hear about those moments when kids are growing up to be good people. That's a testament to you guys as parents. Congrats..

Did your pops fill his tag yet?

Its a Mexican fantail!

Looking for what would be considered optimal distances for 3-9, 4-12 etc. power scopes for a kid. Target would be deer. Not looking for what YOU are capable of, just a recomended baseline for kids generally speaking. It happens to be for my daughter who is still a little flinchy. She has a 243 currently which I have a can on order for but it wont be here in time. Thanks

So dude I work with has Costco stretch pants which are like the outdoors water repellent ones for like $15. How could you go wrong? Thoughts???

no worries i dont mind a pay it forward lots of guys have been super helpful to me on here as i get ready to do an otc hunt in december. just pm me your address. its a charcoal and a khaki pair i think i wore them each once they are like new Thanks man. Will send PM. I remember your post, if you end up in 35A I will personally show you around my side of the mountain. And by the way someone posted something about fishing in Maui, just in case you have any information to offer.

I would have shown me wearing them but I didn't want you guys to have to question your sexuality.

Thanks guys. It has a junk 3-9 power. I was thinking going to a 4-12, or up to 14. Its got a thunder beast break that the can connects to. Not sure the measurement. You got a can you want to unload?

Just took a look at this job. It will consist of tile roof repairs, exterior painting of the whole house (2 story), drywall repairs, interior painting whole house, some trim carpentry, some plumbing and some minor electrical work. Ok me if anyone is interested, or even if you have a crew and would be interested in the entire job.

I got a job over there I could probably use a couple guys on. It would be a couple weeks out and last for 3-4 weeks. Basically it's a rehab

Looks like your all a little trigger happy.

I got the 740 love the fact that is actually cycles snakeshot.

My son has a junior deer and elk tag. He will be shooting a 7-08 and taking a 243 as a emergency back up gun. Optimal shooting range will be 100-400 yards 500 in a pinch. 1. I have always had the kids aim for double lung shots and not through the shoulder. Should I change gears and have them aim for the meat of the shoulder? I never did this because I didn't want to waste meat. 2. Givin the optimal shooting range what type of ammo would you recommend that I could pick up at cal ranch TODAY since I'm in Sierra Vista that will work well on these animals. I have been shooting winchester super X, and hornady SST. Last year my daghter killed her cow with the sst and it was a lung shot that penciled though. I'm kind of looking for something that will open decent on a lung shot if that even exists. I was kind of thinking about the Berger VLD but I'm not sure. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I am just not up to speed on ballistics.

I can hold a flashlight real well. I bet you can but no moonlighting for us. Funny story.. Last time we did a job over there a bunch of your homies rolled up in a panel truck that said something like "tucson restaurant supply". They said they bring the dogs in the abandon house to train them then left since we were working in it. Later that day I was masking off the garage for painting and found a big bag of weed stuffed behind the hot water heater. Ended up chucking it in the dumpster. Awhile later I found out my guys had jumped in and took it.

I know a guy goes out 3 times a week would probably gladly take you along. But the only shooting you will be able to do is with your camera.
