i dont agree on getting him one rifle that he can shoot everything with. the LAST thing you want to do is get him a rifle that kicks him too much for him to be afrad to shoot it or develop a flinch. trust me on this one! get him a rifle that fits him and then if he grows out of it or wantsa bigger caliber, do i like my dad and i did, he bought me my first gun and we split ( like 90% me and 10% him) my second rifle.

deerslam, depending on the size of your son, be careful! my little brother, who will be 10 in Feb, is TINY ( ask RedRabbit) i wanted the 7mm-08 but opted for a .243 because i dont want the recoil to be hard on him. that is the big thing is felt recoil, if he starts on a flinch, he will have it for a while, i started on a 308 with a steel but plate and had a flinch for a while!

my vote is for 270wsm or 270. i own both and neither kick hard ( the WSM does weigh in at about 10lbs though) and they are very effective guns. tell him to suck it up a lil!

man lets make some tequila out of that!

i love dogs as well, i hate pit bulls but no dog deserves this. i hope this person rots in jail for this even if it was a pitbull! if it wasnt for my old rottweiler, i would either have no face or would not be here. to make a long story short, at 8 or 9 years old a pitbull charged me and my rott said that aint gonna fly, my rott took this pit out of mid flight and ripped his throat out 3 feet from my face!

Scott, you should get you but up here, ill take a few days during the week off of work and we should go around the cordes junction area where doug and i run into a lot of them gambels! what ya think! what are you taking to africa? the 300wby?

yeah that is a old man for sure! i would gladly display him in my living room! congrats!

RedRabbit and i went out today and the 30-30 and the .45 made the trip. i was REALLY impressed at how well the 30-30 shot, hit the spinner 3 times (puttin some nice dents in it, sorry doug!)i am pretty sure i am going to carry my 30-30 as my main rifle, but my XD-40 on my hip in case i can get REAL close to em!

2 unique bucks for sure! they will look awesome on the wall! love the eyeguards on yours and tha other is a big ole 2 point! hes awesome!

so is the vote for the .243? dad will be carrying the 22-250, it is between my remington rand .45, my XD-40, 30-30 and .243

it is possible for coues to be spot and stalked with a bow. last year my dad and i glassed up the biggest buck eithe rone of us had seen ( about 95) my dad within 20 yards of the buck, but him and his doe moved from where they originally were and my dad didnt know this as we forgot the radios. if we had the radios in 99% sure he could have got an arrow in that bucks vital zone!

alright amanda! good score!!! i really like his right side! it is neat way to go!

haha good point amanda! what about the 7mag with 120 TSX? i have never killed with the 7mag as i just got it, i have never killed with the .270 and have only taken one animal with them WSM, man this is tough!!

Ernesto, sorry but that 270 aint goin anywhere! it was my granddads then my dads now mine! the .40 is my hand gun. the 7mag is a virgin and the wsm only has a 3"spike under its belt. man this is tough! dad has a new 22-250 to the collection and that is what he will carry.

Rhino nice buck! the way your buddy packed the buck out is the only way to do it! packed my dads buck out about 2 1/2 miles this year with out stopping man i love doing that!

word to that! im wishin i was there with scott! i would have loved to chase that cat! you guys are gonna get one sooner or later!

thats awesome! congrats!!

i will be out monday AM and posibly tuesday to the place where i killed my buck this year to see what i see. if a lion or coyote steps out, man do i feel bad for them! my little brother will probably be with me and we will probably be packing his Xmas present (winchester .243!!!!!)

85+ i think

desertbull haha real F!@#!@# funny! LOL @$$hole lol

my brothers .243 is in the mail to me today. hopefully i will get it, be impressed and then find a lot that will shoot real well!

scott... i can feel it, there is a 112 waiting for you! go get him bud!

bowhunt, if you dont want it i do! i will pick it up frm you if you love in tucson!

i probably had one of the best years of hunting i have had this year.my dad and i hunted elk and deer together, neither one of us tagged an elk, i shot one but made a bad shot and didnt find her but we both tagged deer. this was the first deer he has killed in about 7 years. neither one of the deer were big by any means, but it was memorable because we got to spend a lot of time together and had a lot of fun. hopefully next year we can do the same!

hahah that is GREAT!!!!!!!! that makes me laugh!!!!! hahahahaha
