Way to go Josh. Looks like she has a nice coat. Were you using the guage?
-
I chose the 107 because it has more adjustment options. If you are taller I would consider the 107.

After having 2 previous unfilled tags, I got this one on the second day of the hunt. After switching between the 15's and the rifle scope I got confused and shot the smaller of the two glassed! Oh well, I guess that there will be a bigger coues left for next year! Big thanks to Josh for all of the help, especially his back!
-
That is a great deer and a great shot! Congrats!

They are expensive, but I really like my outdoorsmans. I would suggest stopping by their store before making your decision. They have all types of tripods and heads and will let you try them all out.

man wished we had luck like you guys, if you dont mind me asking how do you guys pick out the spots where your gonna call, im new to predator hunting and wouldlike any info that might help me out next time in the field!We actually got lucky today. The wind was perfect and the sun was directly behind us. Nothing could see or smell us. I am most cautious about the wind and usually set up my stands based on how its blowing. Also, its all about persistance. Last year Josh and I called one day from sun up to sun down and only got one fox, on the second to last stand.
As far as the AR, I don't know much about building them. It's a factory bushmaster. I do really like the Zeiss though, I thought it was much brighter than all other scopes in the same price range.

I know it sucks.. I was looking forward to hunting that unit too!

Well I was sick of waiting for it to cool off to go out calling. I called my buddy Stacy and hit the road this morning.
First stand: about 8 minutes into the calling 4 fox and 1 coyote come into the stand at the same time. I got off two shots nailing two fox, but only recovered one.
Second stand: after the third sound change and about 12 minutes this female yote shows up. Hit her at about 60 yards. Stacy was on shotgun duty, he got off a shot but it was too far.
Made a total of 5 stands, the other three were dry. Dove hunters were out and about big time so we came home a little early.

Sounds like he is off to a great start. I have wanted one for years, no opportunities yet. Congrats to the boy!

That is an accomplishment. Great shooting!

There was a pretty interesting pod cast on calling lions last week. It is worth a listen:
-
Wow! How long did they hang out for? Did they ever notice you guys?
-
That is great, reminds me of my "weird dog" incident: We had an old chocolate lab when I was a kid. One day my mom started yelling at me and my brother to go out and see what is wrong with the dog. We go outside and this dog is dragging his butt across the grass, completely freaking out, back and forth. After watching and laughing at the dog freak out for 10-15 minutes, I grabbed the dog and tell my brother to take a look 'back there'. He notices something that doesn't look right... grabs it, and with some effort yards out an entire bread bag...I cant remember the last time I laughed so hard, hilarious..

I have the Dillon 550 and really like it. I have had it for about 12 years and have probably loaded around 50K rounds. I dont have any experiance with any other type of progressives, but would imagine they are all pretty good. The thing I like best about Dillon is that they are here in town. There have been two or three occasions that I have had a problem with something and was able to have it replaced in the same day.
-
Well done! I have called in three at a time before but havent ever had the chance to shoot at more than 1. Great job with the bolt action!

try the tech support 1-800-223-8799

The Swift Scirocco and Bergers are great choices for hunting as well as accuracy.

That turned out great! After thinking about all of the cats you have killed, I cant give up the first of the season for a paint job! How was the progress on the snake?
-
Looks good Josh! What kind of paint did you use?
