Who said it went for $250??? I LOVE the J107! G/H has the J105... I have seen it in action it is a great pack, too!! Snatch it up boys! (or girls) Word up! I put my 107 through some good work this year! It has packed out about 4 or 5 deer, and it did well!

You know what they say dont you??? Big socks! ( and hunting boots)

I painted the bead bright red so I could find it! Now, I need to decide what # shot to shoot! I was thinking number 4 but it looks a little small. Now I am thinking bbb, bb or T.... decisions decisions!

Gino, I agree that this has been a roller coaster, and all I see is through the computer! However, I think this is being taken in the wrong text. Yes this is a FANTASTIC and sexy @$$ deer, but I think that too much is being put on getting a "true" score on this buck. For example, the post about the pencil lines, etc etc etc. I say take the deer for what he is, an awesome buck ( and the new SCI record) and be more than happy with that! That is my $.02

No, good question. I dont usually hunt them because it is so dang hot! Not to mention they are raising their pups. the younger pups hear the call, the less of a chance that they will ever come into it! I also think they are harder to call in the summer, all though I have called a coyote or two while out scouting. Let em raise their pups, and fur up in october-february then knock the crap out of em!

Exactly.

Amanda, if I am not at the BP academy ( which i better dang well be!) I would like to go!

any gun for $200 is a no brainer, but to really tell it depends on the action etc.

Ever heard of CASE LUBE! Whats that?!

Id bust him up to!

no, its for hitting the handle down when resizing and the cases get stuck

Mike, you dont need other sites! Between doug and my self we have ALL the answers I am cleaning my room right now (as i type ) and when I am done I will go take a pic of mine. One thing to keep in mind is to re-enforce where your press will be. you will be putting a good bit of pressure on it when re-sizing, and popping primers and if the wood is weak, it will break around the bolts.

TJ, you have a lot of good points here, but this one I dont think falls under that category "nothing personal" We all know that just because you have a buck scouted out, it isnt a slam dunk! You still gotta find him, close the gap, and the client still has to make the shot. nothing in that seems to be a cake walk to me..... However, I do think that is a good idea, but not because hiring a guide makes it a slam dunk! Crazy$coues, Idea number 2 is the best one metioned so far!

OUCH!!!! Ps, I prefer DHL

Well 600 does sound alot more like it! I even went back and asked again from my sources if the numbers they told me were true and they stood by what they said...........It just goes to show that even within the Dept. they don't know the truth about it. Who knows for sure......but regardless, it still sounds like it was a great year to be a NON-resident applying for an early rifle bull tag And to be one of the top Elk guides in the state who guided two hunters to 400+ bulls last year.... My resume is in the mail!

That thing is bad butt! How much do you think he has shrunk since bein out there for so long?

Yeah, its a Kimber. 84m 22-250 pushin 50 grain NBT's into small wholes. Could make the wholes smaller, but it does about 1/2-3/4" if i remember correctly ( havent shot it on paper in a while, havent had to)

Lets see, when I was 16 years old, weighed 235 lbs ( skinny back in the day ) and could throw up 350 lbs on the bench press... yeah, noodle arms

That pack didnt last long! Thats a good one, its the same one I have and yeah, you can put a lot of crap in it!

This saturday? I am wanting to go out calling and cant find anyone who is off who wants to go... if any one wants to go let me know!

Buy : 1-+15x50 Leica duovids, a good tripod adapter, and a good tripod ( all can be found on this site). a flat shooting, hard hitting caliber. my two favorites are 270wsm and 7RUM Learn : Patience. Sit behind the binos looking for movement, and parts of a deer. how to judge a good buck from a small buck. Have: A blast, as not many people get to do that!

Well, we went out and gave it our all. On one stand ( of course the one stand Larry forgot his shooting tripod) I called a coyote in 30 yards from him. as he was trying to raise his gun, the dog took of running. Larry followed him through the trees and when he cleared out and slowed to a walk, Larry let one rip. Before he said anyting to me,I told him I heard the "whop" of the bullet hitting home. He agreed but stated the dog ran off. We went and looked for blood and couldnt find any, but are both convinced that he is dead! Reminds me of the cleint I helped Jim on.. shot the dog at 450 yards, saw the dog start rolling over, climbed the mountain ( after he whacked that 101"er) and couldnt find the dog, or blood!

Yeeah it prolly was a light load... the guns that I have that like to "run fast" when working up a load, they didnt seem to shoot well at a low to mid loads (22-250, 270 wsm, 7 RUM) but when I got into the upper level of the loads, they seemed to tighten up nicely. Yesterday I was busting elk size kill zone rocks at 720 yards with my 270wsm. was shooting at rocks the size of a deers head (which we all know I am good at hitting that!) at 510 and it seemed "easy"
