    Another Border agent killed

    Casey, When you are out there in the pitch dark looking thru the night vision, what kind of detail can you see? Are you only able to see the silhouette of the body and firearm, are there times when you cant make out the detail of another Agent's uniform, etc?

    Need help, eyesight sucks

    See if your Dr has a sample pair of contacts. Also, they have had a lot of new contacts come out over the last couple years. The only problem with contacts is that they suck when you have to put them in first thing in the morning, but the rest of the day is more pleasurable.

    Need help, eyesight sucks

    Since you have an astigmatism the focus on the binos will not help, it, only far sighted or near sighted. My suggestion is to try some of the latest contacts and see if you can find something that is comfortable. The new swaro 10x and 12x ELs are suppose to have a image flattening technology that you might like.

    Is It Legal?

    As non typical said, get him a license. If he isn't interested in hunting big game now, he might be in the future and it would be nice to have some bonus points built up.
  6. +1 on it being the best bow Mathews ever made.

    Game carts

    I've heard of people using the "skedsled" or "Med Sleds" with good success.

    What 338 to get?

    Go with the 338 Edge. Its identical to the 338 Lapua, but a lot more economical. Yes the brass is very consistent on the Lapua; however, you can pick thru 5 bags of remington brass for the cost of 100 cases of Lapua. Also, the 338 Edge fits into a remington action, or clone, with very little if any modifications vs. the Lapua. 338 Edge 338 RUM 338 Lapua 338 Win

    Leaving a Bull overnight

    I've seen in several videos lately where archery hunters have shot a bull right before dark and not followed up on their shot/ tracking until the next morning. I understand reasons behind this, but I would be concerned that the meat would spoil. So my question is have any of you had any experience with their early archery hunts where the temps only drop down into the high 40s at night? If so, how was the meat and what were the conditions like? Thanks,

    coal for tent stove

    Can't you control how how fast or hot the coal/ wood burns, by adjusting the air that is allowed to circulate thru the stove?

    Leupold scope

    I have A vx -iii that I might entertain selling. It's a 4.5-14x40 with the after market leupold m1 turrets. It has been used, so it does have some marks on it. If interested let me know we can work on a price.

    Boyds gun stocks

    You might no be able to tell the diffrence between bedding with pillars or without, but if you decide to bed it you might as well do pillars as well. I'm now a fan of bedding my actions after it tightened up my groups on both of the rifles. My kimber Montana went from 1" groups down to 1/2 groups.

    Boyds gun stocks

    Laminated stocks don't tend to be all that light; however, they are know to make great stocks. Take the time and bed it with pillars.

    7mm effective range

    What bullet, what velocity and to a lessor extent, what are the environmental conditions? Typically there is a minimum velocity that you would like the bullet betraveling upon impact. For an example Bergers should be going 1,800 fps for proper expansion. If your just shooting paper, you will need to find the velicity that the bullet becomes unstable which can be when the bullet drops below the speed of sound.
  18. I would give him another year to see if he can fully recover. Who know, his rack may be even cooler next year due to the damage he received.

    Broadhead sharpening

    I had a discussion with a friend of mine the other day about the sharpness of new broadhead blades. I'm of the oppinion that you are not doing yourself any good by touching up a new broadhead blade. Yes you can make it sharper to cut hair or what not, but with that steeper angle will be weeker and not hold the edge nearly as long. He is of the oppinion that the sharper it is, the better it will be...Period. Thoughts?
  20. Would you sell the SAUM brass seperate?

    Guided Caribou Hunts

    Unless you you need the physical help of a guide, why not consider a drop camp hunt in Alaska?
