    good luck scotty!

    In less than a week Scotty will be partaking in a "old school" adventure.... Returning to the days of Roosevelt, Capstick and Ruark. He will be chasing some big ole angry dugga boys with a doule rifle chambered in the classic 470 nitro express. Good luck Scott. Shoot straight and remember two triggers!

    Camo on a rifle hunt?

    If you were at 1/2 mile why didnt you shoot? Thats well within your range isnt it?

    good luck scotty!

    Just got off the satelite phone with Scott... He killed a big, old, worn down bull a few days ago as well as a big Klipsringer and a Grysbok. Rich also killed a 57" Kudu. They are waiting for the Spotted Hyena other than that they are done!

    State land access closed in 36b

    I hunted coyotes quite a bit down on the BA this past year. I did alot of research to the coyote season down there and I think it USED to be a three month only season,but I think that has sense changed and it is open, although I do believe fox or bobcats can not be taken for some reason. That strikes me as odd as I could think cats and fox would kill more of the precious, mysterious quail than a coyote would, but thats just my opinion.

    Oct is fast approaching!!!!!

    Every year I question myself why I put in for December hunts, when I am already going crazy here in October (started a month or so ago). I have been out doing some leisurely scouting 3 times. The first time was just driving roads in a new area, the other two was while glassing/ calling. Have seen only 15 deer in about 3 hours of good glassing, 9 being bucks and 5 being 80 +/-. Tested the turrets out to 600 yesterday. Am good to go! I cant wait!

    Interesting stand

    Jake and I went out today calling/scouting. Somehow, I have a ability to see a fox area, call it and kill it. We were drivin down the road and I saw one of these areas so we went to callin. About 3 minutes in, right after I had switched sounds I hear Jake click off the safety of his .243 and I see a fox runnin across the rocks comin quick. Jake holds off as we know he is coming hard. About 30 seconds later the fox steps out at about 10-15 yards. BB shot from the 12 guage and he goes down, but I had a feeling I hit him a little far back but he flops backwards and we think he is dead. After a few giggles we get back to callin. I look to the right just in time to see one take off to the right. When its time to go get the fox, it is still alive looking at me. I am only about 7 yards away comtemplating what to do. I dont want to shoot it with the shotgun as it will obliterate the fox, I think about using my .40 but before I can do that the fox gets up and hauls arse. I did not see that coming so my reaction time was a little slow, but I managed to get one shot off before he bailed off the cliff. I did not think I hit him and expected to see him hobblin off, but he was was layin at the bottom of the cliff. I looked up, and at about 70-80 yards was another fox. I put the bead high and shot. The fox jumped up and ran off. Jake fired a shot at him but missed. We went over to try and find it to no avail Saw 10 deer, 4 bucks. Thats a total of 15 deer so far, 9 bucks... Ill take that ratio!

    Kenetrek Boots

    I found a pair of hard scrabble hikers in my size and a good deal online so I had to get them. So far they feel great. A little stiff but I take my dogs for 2-3 miles a day so they'll get there.

    NAU White Jeep

    Just a little background on Weston... When it rains, because he carries a Glock and not an XD he has to unchamber it, and put it in his backpack.... Costs him killin a lion because he has to protect the gun....
  22. firstcoueswas80

    question or suggestions???

    Pay closer attention, don't call until ready to shoot and shoot before the fox gets to 1 foot.
  23. A. I'd love to kill that buck. B. That helicopter is the Blackhawk that was featured in last seasons border wars when they were in the Tucson sector area.

    300 WSM

    My kimber 300 wsm with 168 ttsx knocked the snot out if everything it hit in africa!
  25. With so many people wanting to get into long range shooting, but not having the time and/or equipment to reload I got to thinking... Who would pay someone to develop a load and test it on paper to a desired distance? Or pay someone to develop the tightest load possible from a bench from 100 yards, and then load X amount of rounds? Would you pay this person to not only develop the load and then test turrets out to a certain distance? I know alot of people would like to expand their range, but are limited due to using factory rounds and not the bullet/accuracy they want. What if that issue was solved?
