Can we get 10 to pop 28k apiece? 20 at 14K? -
Colorado as well as Utah have lots and I mean lots of prime summer range for game but winter range gets eliminated by development every year. In those states winter range is the constraining factor.

How did the hunt go? What bullet in the FED PREM load? I just got out hunting with my son this year he was in the Army for 7 years. -
Where are you located?

For my liking I go with light and glass sitting. I have been using a Vanguard Espod 232CB unfortunately they now longer make it. The closest current tripod is the Alta Plus 233AO 1.6lbs $140.00.

A Pair of December Bucks Round 2
AZAV8ER replied to C.S.Davis's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Another buck with a kicker out of the side of antler bud -
I bought a pair of Cabelas Instinct Euro HD's 12X50 for this years hunt. My son was coming in form out of state for the hunt and was going to use my 20yr old Zeiss 10X42's. It was a short notice purchase and I compared the Cabelas Euro's to the Swaros and could not see enough difference just trying in the store to go 2.5 times more$. Are the Swaros better no doubt, Was very pleased with the Euro/Meoptas for 5 days of hard glassing.

Youth 20, the nicest home defense shotgun. Won't recoil to much and not hard on the structure and It Scares the F out of me thinking of being on business end of 1 OZ of #2 lead.

Does shooter also have your altitude and current local barometric pressure to calculate Density Altitude for your shot?
-
You used some kind of "app" to generate numbers for the tape. Wether it was published paper tables or on line app that built you a table or something, that or you just have a mind for imagining the right drop chart.
-
I use a density altitude app and plug the resultant DA value into my ballistic app works nice.
-
StrelokPro will also tell you what velocity to use based on your corrections. Do other apps have the reticle view that Strelok has?

What rifle caliber is most common for coues deer hunting in AZ?
AZAV8ER replied to THREEDFLYER's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Maybe not "Superior" but better supported, better adopted & more commercially successful. -
Depends, if it was eyeballing me as intensely as my Marine DI then throw them out.

I have had a a 7-08 or two and liked them ok. I have one with a Broughton barrel from when the old man was making them and I had a hard time getting it to shoot sub MOA. Also with 140 SGK was able to get them going about 2850 fps. I think hand loading the 6.5C you can get 140's to 2800 and change. So for my perspective its 6's. Now take a 270 WIN spitting out a 150 at around 2900 and I know what I prefer.

I read the book 'The Beast in the Garden" a while back and was impressed by how dangerous these big cats can be. It does not happen often but there is a definite potential for these predators to be killers of humans. The book chronicles the encounters between humans and their pets and mountain lions in Boulder Colorado leading up to a lion killing a 18 year old young man out for a run on the edge of town.

I have shot 6.5C Hornady factory loaded 140 Am Gunner, 140 Match and 143 ELD X Precision Hunter out of two different rifles and get at least 1/2 inch groups all the way around. I have never come across anything saying the powders in the Hornady loads are a blend of powders, is this correct? Now only my impression, from talking to others at the range and at shoots and reading, but I think hand loading the 6.5C would give me better velocity and groups than Hornady loaded ammo, is this others experience ?

Its a little like the Marines pictured pissing on Taliban dead. As far as I am concerned they could have taken a video of them defecating on em. If you ask those Marines today if it was a bad photo to have out there they would probably say yes.

When I was promoted to a position of responsibility in charge of the well being of my team one of my first lessons/rules (for my own personal conduct) was never NEVER bring up or discus religion.
