There's something magical about being out in a tent, especially if it's got a woodstove. Nothing beats it.

Got a youth rem 700 in 243 I'd like to either switch to 6.5 or 7mm08. It's the kids household starter gun. Was thinking sell and go for the ruger predator 6.5 or the ruger American 7mm08. But would It be more economical to just swap barrels? Is be looking for a sporter type or factory barrel, not a $$$ barrel. Not sure what I would need to do bolt wise either, change bolt face or what. I know it's probably a dumb question but this sort of thing ain't my bag baby.

That's weird, pic was here the other day Now its gone.

That's awesome you get to do that with your pops! Hope my kids will do it with me someday.

Missing SUCKS! I feel for you guys.

Awesome, good for him!

Man I bet your wife was freaked out for a minute! Seeing lions is pretty special. Never saw one myself.

Super cool looking euro! Looked like he had a fightin scar in the first pic of him.

Any rem 700 bottom metal?

I love coming out parties!

Tell me. Dont play tiddley winks with my heart.

Might catch a kick to the balls

More pics please

I think it's because you can kill 200" mulies in other units then stage photographs under high tension wires and no ones the wiser?

There's a whole lotta 4 legs good two legs bad going on in this thread.

Would you consider a small piece of private property that's in the middle of a large blm tract of land that is only archery to be fair game to discharge a firearm on? Within the boundaries is the old abondon train tracks with a section that is about 275' wide and about 800 yards long. (this area is not the tracks themselves). I want to do some predator hunting there and I know there is at least one lion, bobcats and several yotes. The private property is not posted and people are able to hunt on it, its at least 3/4 of a mile away from any residential property line, further to the actual houses. I would be set up in such a way to keep my trajectory within the private property. Yes I realize i'm pushing it but if technically legal Id take my chances. I would obviously be discreet about and would follow gun safety rules and also be using a can on my rifle.

I'm a pretty big deal around here.

You guys are idiots, a man makes his own rut happen. I just mix a couple bottles of viagra in with my bait pile and pour out about a quart of hot doe urine all over the place and BAM! Instant rut! You dont even have to hike in, I do it next to the truck and shoot from the window.

Yeah, give it some time and see how it shakes out. I'd like to see if Rinella makes a statement about it.

I would be hunting with a silencer

I don't think the ruts over, think you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Get back out there.

I want to hunt in the little strip that runs east to west. I don't want to cheat and kill deer in there with a rifle, I basically want to kill the lion that's killing the deer and I don't have enough balls to do it with my bow. North of it is a large residential area also surrounded by the archery only zone, I'd be real surprised if none of those people target shoot on their property.

Blm website, which I think is down right now. There are also signs posted.

It's not in game and fish regs. Bigorange, yes it is BLM land that is regulated by BLM not Azgf. I suppose the BLM officials would be the ones to ask after the government shut down ends..

The private property is nothing. The area around it is archery only BLM
