Anyone switched to copper bullets?
Rudebob replied to Rudebob's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
There may be some truth to that but IMO the real grifters are the ones who made up the food pyramids, chicken m nuggets, "masks will stop the spread", etc. So I am ok with a little skepticism towards any government or for profit institution that says "trust us, we are here to help". -

I guess that is why I am questioning the performance on a small body animal like the cues. They penetrate well but will it expand? I am guessing ballitically 500 yards or less would be fine on my setup but at what point/distance do you risk only getting penetration? -

Yeah, they worry about that too and it is expensive. -
My family eats very clean and we had a recent discussion about the possibility of ingesting lead from our game meat. Although from my research the chances of lead poison are unlikely I have been considering switching to all copper mono rounds to keep peace at the dinner table. The downsides seem minimal but from my research these rounds do need some velocity to expand properly. Since most of my kill shots have been between 350 - 500 yards in recent years I am wondering what kind of performance one could expect with copper at those distances (6.5 Creed). Anyone have any experience with all copper bullets on Cues beyond the chip shots?

Have had many Australian cattle dogs and Queensland heelers over to the years. Love the breed but you got to have the juice to keep up with them. My current heeler is 15 and still going strong.

My 17 year old daughter drew a unit 7 rifle tag on her first application (plus Hunter Ed point). I thought for sure it was mine when cards hit as the computer odds had me about 1/30 and she was at 1/250. Happy for her for sure but know how frustrating it is for those who have been putting in so long without success.

Doesn't seem like enough reports of success have been posted to say it is completely over. I got hit 2 years ago at 4:30 pm so there is always hope?

Don't know the exact cubit feet but would guess 17 - 18. It measures 33" wide, 27.5" deep and 66.5" high. It is not frost free. Exterior cabinet is in good shape. There is some cosmetic rust on the interior racks from moisture but does not affect performance (see pics). $50.00 bucks. Just need it gone. N.W. Peoria near Lake Pleasant and Happy Valley.

Thanks for posting this. I was able to get my daughter signed up. Great excuse to hang out in Flagstaff over the next four days (as if I needed an excuse in July).

Anything I should know before buying a trager?

Saw a couple of these Pit Boss Laredos on clearance at Walmart in Flagstaff today for $246.00. Tempted to buy one at that price: https://pitboss-grills.com/grills/wood-pellet/pit-boss-platinum-laredo-1000-wood-pellet-grill-1 -
I've seen it as Cal-Ranch in the past

Wahoo... Card hit 7:22 pm.

People here are funny: The constantly complain about how incompetent the Game & Fish is (or at least their draw system), but they have complete and total faith in their ability to precisely execute the drawing process with the same exact precision they have done in the past, and then form all these baseless conclusions based on that confidence. Nobody has a tag yet. This season is a just a hack-the correct presumption that if you have been charged for a tag you will receive one. The G&F has not asserted anything and has the prerogative to handle the draw and timing of it anyway they want to until you have been officially notified as either having been “drawn” or “not drawn”. Honestly, if I worked at the G&F and had any say in the process I would drag it out the way the appear to be doing right now. Sitting around reading all the whining and theorizing on these website threads would be the most entertaining week of my work year.
