Sportsmanswarehouse going out of business?
firstcoueswas80 replied to hawkeye's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Lark, and the rest: What you guys may not know about ordering at SW is it is ALL done by computer. It is a truely jacked up system. Basically, when stuff gets put on the truck, it comes in. I can not tell you how many times I had to go assist one of my co-workers because a customer was getting pissy because my co-worker didnt know when the bullets the customer wanted would be back in stock. We TRUELY did not know! When the people in Utah decide we need more of something, they send it. -
TJ, if you dont do something with that Lion, I am going to push you in the lake!

What do you all use for sharpening knifes
firstcoueswas80 replied to IHunt2live's topic in Other Hunting Gear
Mike, you have seen how sharp my knives are. Especially that Outdoor Edge knife that we cut the tendon with the coyote... I hand sharpened that thing with a stone and I have 0 experience. Not to mention the stone was only about $12 at SW.... -
You actually spent some money? I dont believe it!

firstcoueswas80 replied to scoutm's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Mexico
Atta boy Larry! Did you use the NBT's or the Accubonds from the 25-06? How was performance? Guess all that range time we did paid off!!! Great going! -
Looks like a big Roberts cat too!

That is freakin awesome!

That buck is awesome! His right side is extremly impressive! Congrats on that!

I was delayed, and I am not sitting in the El Paso airport. I had to join another class, from another sector and I meet them all today. -
Today at 11:02 am, I was called by the Border Patrol hiring center! I will be leaving January 26th for the academy! I was offered Ajo and Casa Grande, and I will be taking the Casa Grande offer!!! One year and 3 days from when I took the first written test!!! Woohoo!!! I am pretty excited!

Joe Foss Shooting Complex
firstcoueswas80 replied to bchoitz's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Jim, thats too close for Ghost Buster to shoot! Of course, it is handicapped in your hands. If you like, send it down to me and I will stretch its legs. -
Yep, still #51. No one dropped out!
-
Well, I didnt leave today. Looks like I will be flying into El Paso EARLY Wednesday, then hooking up with another class and joining them.
-
Awesome job! Minus the mass, the right horn looks identical to the left horn of my 2008 rifle buck!
-
Guys/Gals thanks for the comments. It is getting crunch time. I leave tomorrow morning at 0630 (hopefully). I am nervous of course, but I think it will be ok

Help me pick a Bullet
firstcoueswas80 replied to lionhunter's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
If you want one bullet for everything IMHO, I would look at the 168 TTSX very closely. -
Can we see the broken buck from the front to see how bad he is busted up?

Help me pick a scope
firstcoueswas80 replied to CouesFanatic's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
+1. 300 rum is a heavy hitter, and I would doubt a $200-300 scope is going to hold up like it should. OTOH, a Zeiss 3-9x40 can be had for $325-$400(brand new at 400) Excellant scopes for the money and I sold a TON of them when I worked at Sportsmans Warehouse. -
Keep saving. In the end, you wont be happy with out one of the big names. Save your money, buy the best once. For those that dont know, that means Leica!

Lets go kill him before I leave Monday!
