A little more info on why would be helpful. Don't like the font? Don't like the buck? don't like tshirts?? Or even more useful might be what you would like to see on a new shirt? Amanda I just dont like them. I am with TJ, I like the current shirts and wouldnt mind seeing a collard shirt. -
Funnest part of the job!

Truth? I wouldnt spend my money on any of them. -
And thats the truth. I sent him my tripod that had a leg break... Three days later it was like new again.... About 6 years later, I still have it and it works like a charm!

I delivered a pedestal to those guys when I was working my old job.. Gavin showed me around and showed me their connex full on monster horns! Two weeks later, after our 10 minute conversation Gavin knew exactly who I was and remembered our conversation. Good people. -
Ive spent a few hours at Jims house looking over optics, talking hunting, and about dogs. He is as good as they come.

For me the only time I have EVER called in fox is when I have been targeting them... I have never called them in in the desert with cactus, mesquite etc.

Poor kid, he looks just like you! Youre a goofy dude, but the kid is pretty cute! I get a kick out of the dogs! Momma is gonna have a hard time disciplining him with those watch dogs! Congrats! -

Looks like a good size dog! Big head on him! Nicely done! What caliber is the rifle?
-
Thats what I do. Turn it on, pick a sound. Let the sound play 3-4 minutes then pick another one. Another 3-4 minutes than another one. So on and so forth.

Thank you guys! I had a great day other than getting off at 10AM from 5 LONG nights of overtime and getting to live in the metropolis of Sasabe, AZ!! Gotta pay for those upcoming 2010 African trips!! Hence my missing the BBQ here in town. I was pooped out and came home and caught up on some much needed sleep. My beautiful wife and madre bought me a Leica rangefinder. Great gift that will get put to use alot this year. 32 years old..Whew!! Thanks again, guys! dang big dog, your old! I bet the Leica was a surprise, huh? As my birthday present, you can use El Chupacabra in Africa!

Two days before I left for the academy, my friend Andy Hinds passed away. A little over a month ago, one of my dearest childhood friends, Joshua Zwick passed away in a vehicle accident.. Then, to top it off, last night at 1123 PM, I get a call from another childhood friend telling me our mututal friend Christina's fiance, Mark Spraldin passed away last night in a car accident. He was a great dude, and he made Christina happy. I knew him for awhile, and we had plans of going predator hunting. In fact, him and I were texting a few hours before his death about going hunting. My thoughts and prayers are with Mark's family, but especially Christina. Nobody deserves to go through what they are all going through. Mark Spraldin, may you rest in peace.

I think she was undergunned with that 300wsm! I suggest next time you take somehthing bigger! You guys were in serious danger of getting charged by a pissed off, wounded piggy!

You could be right, they may not be EXACTLY the same, but they are still extremly close... In other words, one is soft.. the other is softer. Not that the Accubond is super solid, but it is quite a step up from the BT' type of bullets.

I have never felt handicapped with out one..

Helll, I dont want the scrap books... I want paychecks for the royalites!

Last Thursday, Jake and I, along with my Yellow lab pup Charlie headed out for some coyote calling. Charlie has never been calling, but I play my Scorpion all the time, and he pays no nevermind to the calls. I also bang pots and pans, so he isnt gun shy either. Well, we are all walking into our first stand, and about 15 yards away from sitting down when a few (sounded like 5+) coyotes start holwing RIGHT under our noses. Jake and I throw up our guns expecting to see them but we cant. I hand the leash to Jake, and I make a mad dash about 30 yards closer to the coyotes to a tree and take a knee. I still cant see them. I let out a challenge howl, and I think they think it is my pup, so one pops up at about 80 yards. I, of course start foaming at the mouth because I know this is a dead coyote walking. Well, I fire and he looks at me like nothing happened... Hmm... 80 yards away, I am on a knee, with my AR resting on a branch. Weird. So I shoot again and he starts trotting to the left. One more shot and then he starts sprinting. dang. Another dog pops up, facing me. I shoot and the dog starts running right at me. Now I am 0/4 and I am getting mad not knowing what is going on! I shoot my last round and hear a POP and see the dog roll. SWEET! So we walk up to the dog and I am saying how I put the cross hairs right on the middle of the chest as the dog came towards me. When we get there, I hit it RIGHT between the eyes. My AR was shooting about 8-10 inches HIGH!!! I was shooting right over the other dogs back! Lets just say the .223 with a 40 grain Vmax to the dome = NO PAIN for the coyote!

I too shoot a 257 wby mag. IMHO, if you do not reload, the 110 Accubond is the way to go for a factory round. Good BC, and a much tougher bullet than a Ballistic Silvertip. On the other hand, looking into reloading, and shooting the 115 VLD would be a good way to go for deer. I shoot the VLD for deer (will be taking 100 TTSX to Africa).

Wow only 9? On his entire roster? That reminds me of football when we had like 24, 25 players! What is there, 12 weight classes? I cant even remember, if the time since I have graduated it has changed so much! He keeps placing well in state and he will have a full mat room sooner than later! -
I see 3 +/- coyotes every day at work... Today I saw 5. 2 pairs were paired up... The other was a single, but he was spooked from his bed by my partner and ran past me... He might have been paired up as well..
