Thats a great buck. Its always sad to call it a year, but you can still hunt whatever you want as long as you want with your camera, or help someone else with their hunt. Congrats on a great season!

Like ole Clint said, "a man has got to know HIS limitations!" Its really know different than people buying 200mph cars or motorcycles. The equipment may be capable, but if you try it you're most likely heading for disaster.

What do you think about having a 3 point minimum for Mule Deer?
mattys281 replied to Gunit's topic in The Campfire
I just hunted Colorados otc 2nd season elk hunt with a 4 pt restriction. Talk about the orange army! Ive never seen so many hunters in the field at one time. If az g&f did this it would only be to lower success rates so they could sell more tags and make more money at the expense of hunt quality. -
That sucks. They're pretty good at disappearing once the pressure turns on.

30mm vs 1" Leupold Dual Dove Tail Rings

No problem bud. Im not much of a rifle guy and certainly no scope expert, but I know manufacturing and interchangeable parts. -
Congrats to her! Great first deer!

30mm vs 1" Leupold Dual Dove Tail Rings
mattys281 replied to IA Born's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
The 1" dimension refers to the centerline of the scope tube, and the 30mm (1.181") tube is .181" larger diameter than a 1" so the ring base would have to be approximately .0905" shorter to accommodate a larger tube and still maintain the 1" dimension to centerline. As for the 50mm objective, it should also be larger where it joins the 30mm tube, but I would think it would still taper to pretty close to the same size where the lense is mounted if it is the same brand. If its a different brand, then all bets are off as it was designed by different engineering team with different design philosophies, tooling constraints, mating part considerations, etc. It could be vastly different even though the glass is the same size. -
Awesome bucks like always. Congrats to you guys! When is the anticipated release date for your coues deer hunting book, I would like to preorder a copy.

Prime example of why so many states require a hunter ed. Card. I feel bad for her. Obviously made a very dumb mistake, but its also obvious shes taken an interest In A great sport, but doesnt really have anyone to show her the ropes.

Why Can't people on I 17 keep from crashing into each other?
mattys281 replied to Hoss50's topic in The Campfire
About 10 years ago I was about to leave for my first ever elk hunt when my live-in GF called to say good bye on her way from Cottonwood up to Flag. She's babbling away about her work day or something and stops in the middle and goes, "Ohh, my god! what's this guy doing?! Ohh my God!!..... " Static noises, weird sounds on the phone and the call disconnects. I must've called her back about 20 times before finally a stranger answered her phone and asks if it's Matt? And then tells me she'd just rolled her car into the ditch and they were loading her in the ambulance. Friggin big rig started swerving around in it's lane and than came over right on top of her as she was passing. she wen't off onto the shoulder to avoid making contact, lost control and ended up in the ditch. Trucker never stopped and was never tracked down. She got banged up a bit but ended up being fine. My elk hunt never recovered though... -
Fantastic buck! Congrats!
