I guess its assumed it is a SA Rem 700 bottom metal?

A season is good idea.

Where you hunting where there might have been artillery ranges around Ft Huachuca?

I think you have energized a great hunting companion for years to come. Good going Dad.

That was great!!! What was it about that location. Was it a trail junction or is there water nearby or a pass? What made you choose that spot?

I researched around and found reports the Leupold rx-1000i had issues like that and sounding like it was not an isolated occurrence, but of course I had bought mine years before. Mine must be going on ten years old and still looks good. It gets used for the Coues hunt and a maybe a dozen more times a year. I don't know if I am lucky or if storing it with the battery removed helps. If mine dies I'll buy another if they offer me the 50% off.

I have several recovered bullets that look like that. They are Sierra GK bullets from 30-06 and 270. Since the Elk or Deer shot died soon after being hit and the bullet and copper jacket was under the skin on the off side I never considered it a failure. Did your son's deer drop soon after being hit? What was the range? The lead portion of the bullet looks nicely mushroomed like it should. Deer died, bullet did not fragment/shatter so not seeing a 'failure' here.

Be as competent in your area as possible, communicate and have plan for the day, for the week and idea of whats the pertinent goals and always calm. Know and cultivate others in different parts of the organization that can help you remove roadblocks or whatever problems pop up. My son is an apprentice pipe fitter and he calls me about once or twice a week during his AM break time. Praise is huge, he was so proud his supervisor gave him credit for spotting a problem that left uncorrected would have been big bad. Take care of your guys, my son and his team did something that was safe but not per rules. His supervisor deflected the plant operator from hammering them the way they wanted to, also was a teaching moment that if you don't follow all the nitty little rules you put yourself and your boss in a bind. Communication, my son gets frustrated if the plan for his day is not clear. Good luck and sounds like you have the perspective to be successful.

Way to hang in there and keep trying. I see many successful hunts ahead for you.

My Dad bought this from a friend that let it get some minor pitting & staining from surface rust. The blemishes are at the surface, this impairs appearance but not function.

The bore is shinny and bright and the action is tight with a nice solid chunk when closed. Serial #S317843. I have used it for quail and duck hunting as it fits me well and comes up just right.

It's 12GA 2-3/4 choked full on top and IMP Modified on lower barrel 30" barrel and 14" LOP asking $550.

The safe it's in needs to get un-buried (in a corner with lots stored in front of it) before I can get the gun out, will work on that today.

I have a Charles Daley Trap gun from back in the 70's. Over under and solid tight gun. Miroku made them and when Daley discontinued Miroku made the same gun for Browning and called it the Citori. Its an over under.

Take 5 gal apiece the weekend before.

What makes it "Custom"?

Neither side wanted to find out how far the other was willing to go. Bear can afford a certain amount of damage, a single wolf can afford zero injuries, how many pack members is Alpha wolf willing to loose? I guess nothing was worth going "to war over" that day. If it got serious bear rips the pack up quite a bit but if all 11 dive in bear might sustain to many injuries. I believe we call it Mutually Assured Destruction.

I have taken several 300y shots off my bino tripod. https://www.swarovskioptik.com/hunting/-c20040102/universal-tripod-adapter-p5504085 I just unstrap the binos from the rest and lay my rifle in the indentation in the middle of the platform. Lots of 200y shots using backpack.

Another factor in Mt Lions spreading out is young toms looking for their own territory. Mature toms control a big area and kill or drive out any young males. Consider there are more MT lions in AZ than there have been in 100 years.

36B for a number of years then 35B for last 30 years. Up until early mid 90's always a heavy abundant acorn crop and bucks had layer of fat on their rumps. Since mid 90's nada, hardly any acorns and bucks carried little or no fat and deer a lot fewer.

I have not seen acorn crop to speak of in 15 years. Have you seen acorn crop to speak of any time recently?
