Siwash

The second Coues hunt starts on the 9th.

I had a pair of the 8x43 EDs. For what I paid for them, $270ish, they were OK glass: bright, clear but I found some distortion around the margins and I thought the ergonomics of the binos were large and kinda goofy. There are several reviews online that state Zen Rays are "as good" as Euro glass...no they are not, but they aren't bad if you can get them used or on close out. I also noticed that they were more less identical in design, look and feel to "Hawke" optics...anyone know if they are the same binos with two different brand names?

TTT, anybody want to trade for an equal value 4-5 pin lefty fixed site? I'm looking for a 3D site and this one has more bells/whistles than I need or want.

Right now AZGFD is not penalizing self reporters for honest mistakes. I know because last year my younger cousin shot a very small bull on his juniors cow tag. After discussion we called it in and the warden came out. We weren't cited but were required to submit the head to AZGFD and the meat as well and our hunt was over. I believe the meat ended up at a food bank. The warden told us if my cousin shot a 300+" bull they may not have been lenient, but the current policy was to not prosecute honest hunters who made honest mistakes.

Hope your not too late: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/35748-fs-new-in-the-box-vortex-viper-hs-4-16x44/

Decided to stick to good ol' fashioned 1" tubes. Thanks for replies.

This forum was created to help other hunters and its cool that you want to do that. The point is when you post detailed info about game activity and location in an open thread in a public forum, which to date has over 2,800 views, you really aren't helping anyone, you are inviting everybody and his brother to come check out the new spot and nothing kills a good hunting spot like pressure. Google indexes this website like crazy and for years to come when someone searches "archery elk unit 4B" there is a good chance your tip will come up. In the long run that doesn't benefit anyone. The last few posts aren't bashing you for helping people, they are encouraging everybody to share specific info via PM as a way to ensure good areas stay good. Congrats again on a really nice bull.

That moose is tremendous! Congrats to her and thank for sharing the pics!

Thanks for sharing this. I hunt 4B sometimes and I had the same thought as you when I read the earlier post...I just couldn't think of a nice way to communicate my feeings And as others have said, congrats on a fantastic bull in a very challenging unit.

I think you can get a Ruger American Rifle for not much more than $300 and they are supposed to be pretty nice rifles for the $$$

I have a Bogen pistol grip head....traveling right now and don't know the model number but I believe they only have one...when I return in early September I'll sell it for $45 with one shoe if you are interested. It's a solid head with a fluid pan and works great with Docter 15x60s so it would handle Swaro 15x with no problem. I also like the pistol grip head for use with "the claw" rifle rest. The Bogen head is not the lightest head out there but it is considerably more affordable than the Outdoorsmans

I have a box of 105 grain AMax I'm looking forward to trying soon too. I have found MOA accuracy in my 22" bbl Rem 700 .243 with 95 grain Hornady SSTs behind 42 grains of W760. Off the top of my head I think the OACL is 2.660" Haven't chrono'd it yet though.

I got some pretty good groups out of my Rem. 700 .243 with 95 gr Target Bergers and 42.5 grains of R22.

Smith & Wesson Model 66 Caliber(s): .357 Magnum, .38 Special Capacity: 6-round Cylinder Fire Modes: SA/DA Metal Condition: Very Good, Very Light Wear Wood Condition: Excellent, As New Bore Condition: Very Good, Bright With Sharp Rifling Barrels: 6" Triggers: Single / Double Action Stock: Checkered Wood S&W Grips Weight: 2 lbs. 6 ozs. Sights: Blade Front With Adjustable Notched Rear Milled From One Solid Piece Of Steel with NO MIM parts. Full Underlug & Hammer Mounted Firing Pin Stainless Hammer & Stainless Trigger Fully Adjustable Rear Sight & High Viz Front Sight. Super clean. About 300 rounds through it (can't be sure it was my dad's and he didn't use it much - I have probably put about 150 through it). Grips excellent condition - took it to my local shop he said about 90% condition. I am posting this for a friend. He is asking $800 and will entertain reasonable offers. He lives in the Gilbert area. Please email him directly at ryan.phillips@gmail .com to see the gun or ask questions.

My .270 LOVES 140 grain Nosler Accubond behind 54 grains of W760 at 3.325" Your rifle will be different. If I was starting from scratch for a .270 elk load I'd look at suggested charges for 140 grain Nosler ABs and Barnes TSX and find out what works in your gun.
