to me it changes.... during hunting season, it seems like its one buck to every 20 does!!! then, when im either archery hunting pigs or looking for coyotes or what ever in the off season, its 5 bucks to every doe!!!

Naaah...there aint no pigs or kitties anywhere near where you guys killed.........or DEER for that matter! the deer part is for sure! i recall spending 3 mornings in the same spot with out spotting a buck until 3 illegals spooked one up right from underneath Christian's and mines' noses! -

hey my dad made it in there! awesome! nice video! -
Lark, Figured you put that up on a silver platter for me! Jason, no offense taken! ( it was a 3.75") group i was also shooting off of a polecatr tripod and was not very steady. the group could have been luck as i didnt feel very confident with the shots. Dougs rifle was very steady ( his stock design is greatly different from mine)

Can You use a Hand Gun
firstcoueswas80 replied to blaserman's topic in Handgun Hunting for Coues Deer
those things are actually gaining alot of popularity. i believe in some states, it is considered a pistol unless tha barrel is longer then 14?16?18? inches? something of that nature!!! that thing aint carried in a holster! its carried with a sling just like a dang rifle lol! -
I like the LSS that Doug mentioned, when i was about 15-16 i bought one in 30-06. killed my first two coues, along with one cow elk with it. make sure to put a good recoil pad on it though! the dang gun is so light it kicks like a mule! heck i still dont like shooting the gun cause it knocks the dog water out of me! i would much rather shoot my dads 7RUM or my 270WSM!!!! especially when the 30-06 is loaded with 180 grain pills! 125's were cake, but 180s are different story!

"big wayvos " Hey Lark, if your gonna speak the language, know how to spell it! Huevos!! :D:D on my 270wsm, i have a Zeiss 4.5-14x50 with target turrets. i have shot this gun at longer ranges. Doug and i went out shooting a few weeks ago and we both shot groups at 432 yards. his group hit the target, but mine was smaller. ( his was actually perfect, it was quite impressive) my group was about 10 inches low, and ( do to over guessing the wind) about 18 inches left. upon later inspection, i had set the turrets at 400 yards, instead of just shot at 450. the group was give or take 3.75" this past saturday, i went out with a buddy with my 270wsm and my 22-250. ther was a melon sized rock at what we guessed was 550 yards. i put my 500 yard marker on my 22-250 just above it, hit the rock 3/3 times. i then dialed up my turrets to 550 and hit the rock 4/4 times dead center with my WSM. my buddy then hit the rock 3/3 times with the WSM. my point is both turrets and Varmint/Boone and Crocket/ TDS style reticles can be very accurate. Jim Mullins, Christian, and myself had a client in December who had a finely tuned 300 wby with the TDS reticle on it. after we had killed, him and i fired a few rounds behind camp. we ranged a rock at i believe 422 yards. i asked him where to hold. i held dead on it ( this was a baseball-softball size rock) and on the first shot i blew it up. I love and trust the turrets on my 270wsm. but i also love and trust the Varmint reticle scope i have on my 22-250. both can be used succesfully with practice and practice and practice.

Gotta add this photo, as i killed it before i killed my lion. on the top right, is the mountain from where my lion was, but you cant see up high enough to see where the lion was. if it wasnt for having this tag, i wouldnt have came to tucson to hunt pigs and kill my lion! -
