    loose or pellets?

    Soar AZ, What you need to do is go to cabelas.com and order them for in-store pickup. This eliminates the shipping charges. I just ordered the 250 gr EZ Barnes and they are in stock. I will never go out of my way to go to Cabelas as they never have in stock what I am looking for. I shoot the Barnes spitfire 245 gr MZ in my Ruger 77/50 and they work great. I have a new TC Triumph that I haven't shot yet, but have read the spitfires are tough to load so I will try the EZs. BTW I drew the DEC 39/40/41/42 MD tag. I am looking forward to it

    White dodge ram with shell

    That would be me. Funny I've had stickers on my last 2 trucks in PHX over the last 6 years and haven't been spotted. I was in Tucson for less that 10 minutes and you were on me! You must be some kind of hunter :lol:

    Did you get a good look at his right side before you squeezed off? I know looking at that left side would get your heart pumping! Congrats on the nice bucks.

    so mad!!!

    Mr Smith Is this your story? AzSJ Supporter Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Central Phoenix, AZ Posts: 3,675 Deer Story I guess I should post something... So I shot a deer yesterday. It was a bad hit and the deer ran off with three legs. We followed the blood/hoof print trail for about three hours and ended up bumping him out of his bed. Never got a chance for a second shot. We then followed the renewed blood trail til dark and not wanting to bump him in the dark we marked the spot and left. The deer covered over 3 miles. JLG Dave and I headed up this morning only to find it raining and foggy with less than 20ft of visibility. Decided it would be pretty pointless to look under those conditions so we came home. Headed back up tomorrow, hopefully we can find him but I am certain the blood trail will be gone. Thanks Airon (Desertghost) for hunting with me and helping along the trail. You are certainly more skilled than I when it comes to finding/following a blood trail. I will let you all know how this plays out. Hopefully we can find him. Didn't you give up after one day and then shoot another deer?? Perhaps your shot was at a range that exceeded your abilities with a rifle?? Do you really feel you should cast stones? I admire the way the young man stayed after his deer. Perhaps you are trying to take out your feelings on inadequacy on him? Nice buck Adam!

    NRA

    Same as some here, I let my membership lapse because of the phone calls/junk mail etc.... Actually they had called and wanted more money before my membership renewal arrived! Anyways I am a Life Member now and feel it is THE organization that is making the other side think carefully about the moves they make. All gun owners should consider membership. Now is NOT the time for apathy!

    6A success

    I had also seen this buck in Sept. and was on the other side of the hill when he shot it. I had met buglethemin the evening before and we talked a bit about where we would be hunting the next day. We both admitted to seeing bucks in the area, but neither of us let on that we had seen this caliber of buck. I passed him on the road later that afternoon and got a brief look at that buck. It is a toad! Congratulations to you and it was good to meet you and your buddies. Where did that scuff on his ear come from??

    customer service

    Good week for me.. Busted the threaded insert in the base of my Swaro tripod mount. My buddy and I were carrying out a mule deer spike tied up on my monopod and the bonehead was holding the tripod mount. Anyways I called Swaro and the nice lady says "I'll send you a couple of em - no charge" Next I finally get around to taking off the recoil pad on my Remington Ti. It was the Limbsaver that had the wrong mixture and was disintegrating into a sticky gummy mess. Remington called me today and said they don't have any pads for me so are sending a whole stock. Thats a $275 Bell and Carlson Kevlar stock!! Count me as a satisfied customer on both counts!!!!

    Palin killing Alaska's wolves from airplanes...

    obvious tree hugger drivel.... notice how the article brings up creationism??? sounds like she wanted to set up a G&F Commission like we have here. The article doesn't go into detail about how it would work. It seems the only "scientists" opinion that would be worth a crap would be those of the Alaska Dept. of G&F who actually work up there.

    Sarah Palin

    J, Believe me I had/have my concerns over McCain on the 2ndA. His selection of Palin has somewhat eased that for me. Have you read her letter asserting the state's right to manage wildlife?? palinletter.pdf What is it about the Dem platform that attracts you?
  22. rugerman

    Sarah Palin

    If you value your 2nd Amendment rights, I believe you have no choice but vote for McCain /Palin. You won't like the CHANGE that comes from Obama appointees.

    custom knives

    I was wondering if anyone else has a soft spot for high end knives. If so I'd like to see them. This one is pretty much it for me. D'Holder I plan to use it when I finally draw that early bull tag
