SOLD!!! thanks, Schmitty

Nice job and post! The food looks like reason enough to make the trip. Congrats on a nice deer!

Standard sporter barrel on the stock. As for trades, reloading components, 22-250 dies, a Rem ADL trigger guard, 700 L/A bottom metal. etc.

I'm open to trades as well.

I've got a Swarovski RF in excellent condition that I'd sell for $700. Let me know if you're interested. Schmitty

Tell us a bit about your GMC!

Great Video! Thanks for putting the time to put it all together! Nice job! Schmitty

IC top and bottom, usually firing the bottom barrel first. Most shots tend to be well within the capabilites of a more open choke.

I'm using VV N560 with the 130 grain Berger's behind Federal 210's. Velocity is 3150 with ES of 9fps. I wish i could get my hands on some 140's to try. good luck, Schmitty

I've got a used BDL stock that came off of a .243 sporter that I'd sell for $50 if you're interested. It's got some dings in it, but it's perfectly serviceable. I'm in Prescott as well if you want to look at it. thanks, Craig

Smoking Deal. Don, if this doesn't sell in the next couple of weeks, shoot me a pm and I'll get down that way and grab it from you. I'm currently in the middle of restocking that pre-64 .270 that I bought from you and the last thing I need is another project but I'm a sucker for deals. take care, Schmitty

+1 Tell Kade I'm proud of him! Congrats! Schmitty

I usually don't start hitting it hard until Nov. I try and get out at least once a week from then on. My pointer just hit 11 and this will be the Fr. Britt pups first season, so it should be interesting. Good luck, Schmitty

Nice Job Levi!

Have any left?

Great front tine length on that shiras bull. I imagine it was inside the park?

Personally, I don't like to shoot quail in the last 1/2 hour of daylight as I like them to have a chance to covey back up and get back to the roost increasing their chances of survival. Just a thought. Schmitty

I can't believe the body size of that buck, not to mention that his horns aren't too shabby either. He's got it all, good length, he carries his mass all the way up and look at the length on that right prong! I was beginning to wonder what had happened with your hunt. How was the performance of that Berger? I used the same bullet on a NM goat this year out of my 6.5-06AI at the exact same distance. Resulted in a tennis ball sized hole on the off side shoulder, but suprisingly I lost very little meat. I'm just curious what your results were. As always, thanks for the write up and photos.

prone with a bipod and rear rest (pack works fine) is about as field steady as a guy can get. I also have the 5-25 so I can use it sitting, but I only feel confident out to 400 seated. Oftentimes the grass and brush is too tall to even get a seated shot, so I carry the gun claw on a 701HDV head and a relatively stout tripod as well for shots where I need to get higher. The claw with a rear rest is pretty doggone steady, though not nearly as nice as prone with a bipod. With the claw standing (no rear rest I'm pretty consistent on steel out to 500. Seated with a rear rest buys me a couple hundred more yards. Hope this helps, Schmitty

Casey, I've got a 4.5-14x50 Mark 4 LR/T w/ M1 turrets and duplex reticle (30mm tube) that I could let go. You know I take care of my stuff and this scope is dead nuts repeatable, lenses are clear, there's a small scratch up on the bell http://swfa.com/Leupold-45-14x50-Mark-4-LR...cope-P1750.aspx I'd like to get $775 for it. let me know, Craig

The best trophys are the one that die near a road! Hope you find him soon. Get that skin of ASAP and you'll have a year of good eating! Congrats! Schmitty

Heck of a nice buck! Congrats!!!!!

Love the Skynyrd!

Sorry for my lack of camera skills! I wasn't as concerned as I should have been about getting it all on film. As I believe you can hear me say on camera (with a little editing for the children) "Just $#@#@ kill him, don't worry about me or the camera!" I'll do better on the next go round. We had a great time and ended up sharing camp with the folks/outfitter who purchased the Landowner tags. They were extremely gracious, and great all around folks to be around. There weren't too many big bucks around, but I can't imagine having a better time. We accomplished what we set out to do, which was to see some new country, have as much fun as possible, and to make good clean kills. Both bucks were on ice within 45 minutes of being shot and have provided some mighty fine eating for our families. Finding ourselves done by noon on opening day, we took the scenic route home roaming thru the high country of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. Talk about some pretty country! Next time I'm throwing in a fishing pole! Good times were had by all and I apologize if videos of my ugly mug damage your computer screen! Shoot straight! Schmitty
