Bird Dog

I will be hunting with a good friend and a high school buddy. I will try to start a topic and post some scouting etc. Glad to hear the support and nice comments!

Come on left overs.

I know a guy that I work with whom his son was called by our "lovely" Game and Fish trying to reconcile a charge to his card. THEY HAVE CALLED TWICE. Let's give G&F a frigen break some times.

Just as ruthunter got a tag in a unit. We all have a better chance than non-residients. You want the play in the "Best" quality units so be it but complaining benefits no onw. I think the key is perspective to where one applies. Also, just like elk, there are large bulls all over this state and an application that only wants unit 9 or 10 for archery/early rifle may only get one or two tags in a life time based on simiple draw odds and numbers of people. We have limited resources and limited tags (Thank God) to allow for a chance at a trophy. None the less, I appreciate the system we do have because we all have a chance to draw and the more bonus points the better the chance. That is what makes it fun! As for my situation. I hope it is my wife with 8 points drew and not me with 18 because that would mean she won the lottery by being LUCKY. I realize either out come is less than max points. I appreciate Game and Fish for giving us the chance to draw a Strip Mule Deer the same year as Antelope with Archery Bull. Although not likely, we can and a few have.

Pending charge has been authenticated. I now owe the credit card money. Anyone else have a sheep tag coming?

We found this buck while in KS scouting but could not locate him again during the hunt.

Here is a closer look. I realize this was fairly easy but a nice surprise while watering bushes next to the road.

Hit for Dad, Brother, and I on one app. Can not wait.

We have a hit. Either my wife (8 pts) or I (18 pts). Also, charges for Coues.

I know this has been asked before.... how are you determining the true B.C. of your loads which would impact the dial setting? I know many manufacturers tend to over estimate the published B.C. by as much as 10% which can cause quite a difference at even 600yrds for an impact and energy. Factory ammunition is historically very different in each gun for velocity. Also, what do you use for the elevation and temperature? I know many members shoot on hot and cold to basically average the two. I thought I had seen a basic 5000 ft @ 70 degrees F working very well for most. What is the common thought on the leupold dial systems that are custom to your load and bullet weight? It seems like a nice idea but could be off at further ranges just with temperature and elevation? Not to mention the temperature impacts on the ammo itself with velocity?

Thanks guys. This is exactly what I though would be. Practice......... it is a shame how many people won't/don't practice to make the proper determinations needed.

I know a guy in Verde who had one once.

These are great rifles. I have owned may No.1s. I saw this and it is like Christmas seeing you fellas excited about a beautiful gun. If you need help/input on loading for this send me a message. Good luck!

1st cow tag ever. I am excited for the oportuity. My buddy also drew cow on a separate application. It will be rightous!

Got to love a side by side. Reminds me of John Wayne.

Interesting.... I thought "on or after" clause would elminate anyone from Friday or Saturday and therefore mail delivered today would be the lucky draw winners. If mail has been delivered and they are not open it is still delivered prior to "on or after" the date. Does anyone know someone that knows someone's friend whom knows?

I second "mpriest" comments. Further more, if local shops find out what is on the promotive page we will have less to choose because they will have the products removed.

Good trade!

Nice, seeing that last bear gets me fired up! I have a rifle that is just waiting for.

Any Female pups left? Thanks
