    Rattlesnakes

    How do you tell the sex of a snake?
  2. What length barrel and synthetic stock?

    New 6.5 SLR Build

    If it shoots as good as it looks, you will be carrying that thing all over the hills hunting, regardless of the weight. Have you considered having the stock Hydro dipped with the exact camo you are trying to duplicate?

    PANTS VERSUS CAT CLAW

    learn how to walk thru it... If you get caught turn / roll towards the bush. Plus if the bush is small enough, go right over the center instead of skirting it.

    Draw conspiracy theories

    My only question is how can a totally logical machine like a computer generate a random number?

    plant identification

    It kind of looks like Apache Plume, but it's not a vine.

    ASU

    He should have done it earlier.
  10. If anyone is interested, I have a very lightly used pair of the La Sportiva WLFs that I will sell, size 10.5. I purchased them from the Hiking shack a couple summers ago and by the time if figured out that they were to small, it was to late to return them. They have probably 5 miles on them and the are currenty sitting in their box in the closet.

    Keeping a barrel clean

    Tape or a balloon taped to the barrel. You can shoot thru it, but if you have the time, take it off.

    24B Scouting

    That is exactly how it was on the north end this year.

    24B Scouting

    Every time someone asks about 24B everyone all ways says the southern portion gets hammered. Because of this, the majority of the hunters have migrated to the north. The area you mentioned has seen a big increase in pressure over the last couple years.

    Vortex Optics: A Question

    Three of my friends have purchase the 4-16x50 Viper PST. One of them had to send their scope back because of tracking and still isn't happy. Another one is currently having problems getting his previously accurate rifle to shoot groups and the scope is a suspect. The last one hasn't had any problems, but is planning on upgrading to a NightForce. When my first friend returned his scope, the guys at Vortex informed him that the Viper line is sensitive to over torquing and when installing the rings, you should use the minimum torque required, otherwise, it can effect the tracking.

    Is this a legit way to hunt?

    There isn't enough information in your story, to have an opinion.

    Trigger pull for hunting rifle

    It depends on how you hunt...mine is at 1 lbs, but I don't load mine until I'm ready to shoot, if you do a lot of hiking with one in the chamber a much heavier pull would be appropriate.
  20. Buy a Colman extreme and call it good. Igloos suck and break after a year, and all the others cost to much. I don't want to worry about my cooler being stolen. Plus they are a lot lighter and I've never seen where they keep ice longer. If I was to buy a nice one, it would be an Engle.
  21. Which bullet were you using? This is the exact reason why I stopped shooting the barnes triple shocks, they grouped great, but very little is transferred to the animal. 308 cal hole on the way in and dime sized on the way out. From what I understand, they do work better on larger animals and the newer Barnes T-TSX do a better job at expanding.

    Remington 660 .308

    Great rifle. Did you buy it with the magnum laminated stock or did you add it later.
  23. azgutpile

    Is .223 big enough for deer?

    If the overall rifle isn't to big for her, another option is to purchase the reduced recoil 308 load. http://www.hornady.com/store/308-Win-125-gr-SST-Custom-Lite/

    Unit 24B Coues help!

    The Montana Mountain area has a lot of ATV traffic, most of which aren't hunters. And the hunters that do use he area rarely leave the roads.

    WTB 7mm 140 grain Bergers

    Bruno's has some 168 grain classic hunters in stock. Might be a good backup plan.
