    Barnes LRX

    You're right, I was thinking about the MRX. My fault! Like you mentioned, Barnes bullets do seem to like a jump. When I started reloading for my 257, the trick was to shorten the COAL to get more of a jump, and accuracy followed.

    270 win

    I'm not a ballistic tip fan, but that should be a very good load, or course depending on accuracy.

    Has this ever happened to one of your dogs?

    When I was in college, I didn't come home for the first three months. When I did come home, I said hi to my mom and walked out back to see my dog. At the time he was something like 9 or 10 years old but in good health. I walked outside and he didnt come running up. I found him laying about 15 feet away on the porch dead. My mom had said she put him out side not 15 minutes before I came home and was telling him "Bubba is gonna be home soon" and she said he got all excited and was jumping around and barking excitedly. Then, 15 minutes later when I got home he was dead!

    Wow!

    Hard to compare a 5-2 record when they're schedule has not nearly matched the schedule that U of A has had. It all comes down to Nov. 23.. Who cares what their respective schedules are until that game.

    That right there (bolded part) is the backbone to this argument. This is basically government doing what they want because they want. Not because of need.

    Had a big day last Thursday

    We were in Greer, at the Johnson cabin. There was a CWT member in the cabin directly across the street. I posted that I had seen his truck/sticker but never responded. I wondered if someone would catch the camo on the veil! Her flowers were wrapped in camo, my vest/pocket square were camo, and our table runner was camo. It was awesome! Oh, and her garter was camo/hunter orange

    Eating rabbits?

    I've always heard not until after the first hard freeze to kill all the parasites etc, but I think if you cook them long enough (like in a stew) then everything is ok. I have eaten jacks and cotton tails and I like them both. Jacks, if I recall correctly are a little tough and chewy but had good flavor.

    porcupine plant

    I think there must be some sort of toxin or something on them because yes, they do sting!

    porcupine plant

    I've had a few shin daggers go to the bone. That SUCKS! But, thats part of hunting in the desert, everything wants a piece of your flesh!

    First Day Double Down

    Very nice! Where did those cows come from and what rifles were used in the hunt?
  15. firstcoueswas80

    A few nice bucks

    'Not trying to figure out your 'secrets', but just on observation. Do you have your cams on a trail/saddle? I like the second picture, almost didnt even see the bedded buck in it!

    1st time for everything

    I have the same rifle in 300wsm and I used it in Africa in 2010 and it worked GREAT! Solid gun, pretty, and functional.

    WTB Dodge factory intake system

    Currently, I have a AFE stage II intake/filter on my truck and I like it, but recently had to replace turbo. This was under an aftermarket warranty so of course, they tried to tell me that the aftermarket intake/filter system was the culprit. My dad gave me his factory intake system and some how, it is missing the very bottom elbow that goes straight to the turbo. If anyone has an entire system, knows where I can find one or better yet has the bottom elbow I'd be interested in buying it.

    Happy Birthday Amanda

    Barnes LRX

    I dont think the LRX really caught on. I havent really researched them too much, but from what I remember they dont really offer too much that the TTSX doesnt. A little higher BC and A LOT higher price. I'd shoot the 140 TTSX instead of the LRX.

    Account got hit today

    You sure about that? Was it the tag price or the $7.00 app fee. I dont think cards have ever hit the week after the application deadline. Credit cards got hit for the $7.50 as soon as one applied for the hunt(s).

    AZGFD Rule Changes

    Of course the amount of Coues deer killed from 2003 has doubled. Look at how many more people are hunting Coues deer now. This site has gone from a few hundred to a few (or more) thousand. Of course the number of animals killed have increased. More hunters in the field, more stuff is going to die. Simple as that. To blame that on baiting is ludacris, and unsupported.
