Gino, if you need some one to sit your wifes blind, let me know! We have been super slow at work, and I am sure I could get 3-4 days off in a row

If elk are in the mix, I would look at something .30 cal. .300 RUM, .300 Wby. or .300 win mag will all do what you want with plenty to spare. Large selection of bullet choices to match your game.

Becker, Looks to me like the Mrs. is about to hyperventilate! Remarkable!

send pix to ccrider4t4@aol.com I will post them when I get them.

Ehh, just decided to give them a shot. BUT, at 100 yards, the VLD and TSX have the same POI so I am going to carry both incase the VLD's dont work for me.

Hmmm... Dont believe I have ever seen triplets (that I recall) but I have seen twins semi-often.

SHOOT!!!! If you dont, give me GPS locations and I will gladly let you fondle his velvet while on the ground!

Dude... Josh...... Seriously?! Thats a heart breaker!

T'was a good time yesterday Larry! I tell ya boys, that 3x2, if he can survive a couple years is gonna be a stud. He had a nice frame, with terriffic eyeguards! Larry and I were lookin at the film at his house upon arrival. There is one scene where he turns towards the camera. At the same time, we both let out a "Whoa, look at the eueguards!". He is gonna be a nice buck! For some reason, I never took the Mathews after these bucks. Still dont know why

Have you tried the IPI bino manager? My Duovids fit...

Like Lark said, if the bolt is rotated to the "open" way, it WILL come over eventually. Just becareful

AS far as I am concerned, the only way to get that piece out of there is how people have been trying. How is your sizing die set up? It sounds like it might not be completly resizeing the brass. When your arm on the press is extended so that the shell holder is all the way at the top, do you have the die screwed in enough so it is contacting the shell holder?

Thats a good rig!!! You guys all know what I will be carrying, but just for fun, I'll tell ya again!!! "El Chupacabra" .257 weatherby mag. This weekend I am going to see if I can duplicate a near max load that produced a acceptable load with 100 Gr TSX.. Then, I am going to concentrate on 15 VLD's... Yes Gino, I'm gonna give them a try!! The load I am trying to duplicate with the TSX. Back up will be "Skull buster" My .270 wsm which has a few years experience under her belt. All though she is heavy, she does the trick! Both rifles wear a 4.5-14 Zeiss scope with target turrets.

Very nice!!! I know its just a jack, but I hit one last night at 30 yards with the Rage and it just about tore it in half! That is a beautiful buck! He looks very symertical! Nicely done!

Awesome!!! Thats 3 toads!!!! And with a Mathews!!! I hope to do the same with my Mathews this season... Guess I better start stalking the bucks I have been glassing up!!

What do you mean by the bolded sentence? Shouldnt the bigger bucks have more mass, not less? Or am I reading this wrong?

Thats a goodun!!! First muley I have seen hit the ground so far this year (surprising)

First off, straight out tine length is where the majority of the score comes from. If his rack reaches for the sky, hes a good buck, and probably a shooter! Of course, great mass and width add up also. A good way it to look at his frame. If he is as wide/wider than his hears and tall, he has the "frame" of a big buck. And in a pinch, that is good enough for me. If you have time to sit and look at the deer, look for some measurements that stick out... 4+ inch eyeguards, 6+ inch g2's 4+ inch G3's. If his beams reach out and touch his nose = big buck! Like others have said, if he gets your heart goin, hes the right one!

With your shooting skills and ability to place a shoot Thats all you need. Would you like me to have Linnea show ya how its done Mikem you spell about as well as Lark hears!

Dont forget the most important thing.. The Huntress is happy in the picture, and you can see her excitement!! I hate seeing trophy pictures with the hunter/huntress not smiling with a toad buck in the picture!

Jim, Mike actually makes a good joke for once and you dont get it?! Come on man!!! PS. My gun aint shakin at all... It is missing me as I didnt take it out to play this weekend.

Nice Geoff!!! Is that the buck you were chasing last year?

DEAR LORD!!! I got the pic from Jonathon and that pic didnt do the buck justice! I am on 0 hours of sleep, and headed out to go archery hunting myself right now... Who needs a Red BUll when I can just look at that!!! Ps. I do not like your wife, she kills TOADS!!

Awesome!! thats three nice coues I know of hittin the dirt today!!

Haha!
