    Off roaders and week ends go together like Peanut butter and Jelly. I can't say for the rut to still be active 10/13 but there is a good chance. I would bring a  bugle to help locate a bull. There is always those young bulls who still think they have a chance with a late cow. Give him a hot cow call and he will come in.

    The .243 is ideal for game weighing between  90-130lb but is also adequate for 180 lb big game animals. This weight limit is suggested not because the .243 cannot produce sufficient penetration on larger game, but because with rear lung shots, even though wounds may be free bleeding, kills can be so slow as to allow animals to run considerable distances and become lost altogether to the hunter. On heavy boned deer and elk careful shot placement is the key. Countless Elk have been successfully harvested with the .243 without fuss. However, for every success story there are just as many failures. While many experienced hunters like to argue the limitations of the .243 based on their own skills, animal welfare should always be paramount. There are a great many calibers more suitable for larger game than the .243. Have him practice with the 30 06. He might like it better and even shoot better with it. He is 16 and he can make his own final decision.

    Been scouting & hearing bulls in 8 until almost 8am.  I'm sure as time goes on it'll get better.

     

    Camp is almost set up, & it's so nice to have a bull tag again!  Lots of feed, water is not sparce, and the weather seems to be finally cooperating/getting cooler!

    Your the only one talking about shooting at people.

    I said warning shot. 

    Still a stupid thing to do. Your are still responsible for where that bullet goes. Joke or not. I've been shot at by accident before. Miss me and my budy by inches. Now that is some serious sh*t when you here it zing by your head. no one should joke about it.

    I fricken hate camp shitters!!!! Alot of RV guys dumping tanks out there also. I don't like even leaving my fire ring and people do what they do these days. I guess that's what happens when people move from a state with zero public land and obviously get camping lessons from watching the homeless that live around their old communist land. They treat it like a dirt lot behind walmart.

    Isn't dumping the shitter out there illegal anyway? I always find the closest gas station to dump and most of the time its free
