Redman

I would agree that is a great job by Wild Heritage. I hope to get a velvet buck mounted someday..... Congrats, Redman

Since I have gathered from many of your very knowledgeable post on guns....you demand top gear. I watched the "Best of the West" show last week and if money was no object I would get a muzzle loader from http://badbullmuzzleloaders.com/ ....but you can see the cost. BUT with that being said, I know nothing about the Knight, but I do use a Thompson Center Omega with a Nikon Omega BDC scope and really like it. I shoot Blackhorn 209, 120 grains (volume), Thompson Center Super Glide 250 grain, Remington primers. Haven't hunted all that much with it, but shot a nice mulley and a javillina. Recent practice showed that I can use/group the BDC at 200 yds (still got to try the 250 and 300 yds marks). The Omega is very easy to clean and the breach plug can be removed in a snap, Blackhorn has made all the difference. The first year I hunted with it I did not use a BDC reticle and missed some great bucks....50 yds with a ML can be a clean miss. I have since got the Nikon and its pretty amazing how accurate it is, got about $550 total into the ML. p.s. they do kick like a mule Good Luck. well dah....should have looked at your follow-up post. glad you got something you like. SO those TMZ are shooing well...was that the first sabot you tried?

What do you all think? http://www.coleman.com/coleman/colemancom/detail.asp?product_id=2000005512

Sorry I'm with you, I would appreciate your feedback on the release. Did you want a back tension because of a specific reason?

I have a Sur Loc with 3 pins set at 20, 30 and 40. The 40 yd pin becomes the "slider pin" from 40 out to 120 yds. It can be adjusted in 2 yd increments. Takes about 3 seconds to range adjust and draw.... the only way I would go back to a true fixed pin is if the mountable rage finder (Vendetta) becomes easier or more practical to use.

Word is that little POS Sparky is getting bounced as the mascot for ASU! Plus other changes...

"The prongs of the pitchfork represent winning, integrity and scholarship"...oh man, I haven't been able to stop laughing

AWESOME! Thank you so much!

Drive the 300 road just before dawn. Yes that's it. All you need.

Thanks for the replies. I watched a video of the J34 and really like it, also the gunslinger 2 is very nice.....ugh....decision....decision

You were probably wondering why I was so nice and well spoken. HAHA

to bee seen...the link does state that Sparky could be gone all together...

A buddy of mine had that hunt 2 years ago (6AS), he wanted a nice bull, he and I hunted on my bull hunt the year before in 3C so we both expected A LOT. First day had a smaller bull standing within 20 yds, he didn't shoot. Each day of the hunt he was into bulls, but something happened (wind, other hunters, shot was deflected off a branch, etc), the elk were not rutting like they were in 3C, I thought I was a champion elk caller as each day in 3C I would call in many bulls.....not so fast in 6A. He ended up not taking a bull. He complains today why he didn't take that opening day bull to get one under his belt. I would say if you have a chance at a bull that you are happy with, kill it. Keep in mind you got a bull tag, take a look at the number of cow tags there is going to be a lot of hunters. Its a bid unit and the elk do move a lot there. Good Luck, shoot straight and have FUN on the hunt. Redman

Tried to look at the FB page, but the link does not appear to be working. Hopefully that nasty disease can be knocked into remission and Bear will be just fine!

Sorry...I live in the real world . and you should to! I choose the setup below because PSE is an awesome company to deal with....they have fixed 2 bows that I broke (dry fire and I pulled the string off the cam....)they took care of me each time. The draw on the EVO is so smooth. Mine is quiet as a church mouse, but I shoot a heavier arrow which will help any bow quiet down....its flinging a 460 grain arrow at 280 ish FPS (27.5 draw) I have a new 70Lbs EVO in skullz camo, 340 FMJ with 100 grain Wac Ems, Whisker Biscuit (had a QAD HD on my X-Force, WB just works!), Sure-Loc Hunter Specialty modified with a 3 pin head, PSE X Force quiver and with a Pete Shepley deuce stabilizer.... all probably would run over $1200 but had parts like you from my previous setup. There are many threads on archery talk on which rest for the EVO... Its feels like a dream to shoot! Redman

There is no perfect system....just have to weigh the options available. Fortunately any changes to this system will have to go to the legislature, so the LO tags will always be available. I plan on saving the $85 bucks it takes to apply and in time buy a LO tag (instead of obtaining points with a draw system that award points). Everybody wins! Residents get more tags, one less application for the NR, landowner makes $$, and I will get to hunt our National Forest!

I suggest taking it up with the person directly....one could easily say remember the days before people ranted on-line.....

Hmmm.. I agree.. We should switch to something like AZ... I have to buy a license $151 and I earn a point but for elk it might take 15 years to draw and for antelope it might take 20 years to draw... In NM you can draw the FIRST YEAR... IN AZ.. Not possible... be careful what you ask for... Hmm, I guess you don't HAVE to apply!? Amen J Lets see the tags that were available for me to draw just went down 40% as a non-guided hunter, sure there will be a snowball's chance in heck that a person can draw a tag the first year, the second year or the third year. Year after year the odds are no better and a person could apply forever and NOT be drawn. Yeah AZ's system does cost more for NR, but one knows a BULL elk tag after about 12 years of applying will be drawn.....a COW tag is much easier.... can I even draw a cow tag as a NR in NM? Its only a matter of time before a point system come to NM.... Great response fatfootdoc....thanks for pointing that out....very intelligent I never thought of that. Redman

"plenty of left over tags" for antelope and elk. http://www.azgfd.gov/eservices/documents/2011Elk-AntelopeLeftovers.pdf

left over 5B bull for me...I can hope

IMO its a bunch of crap that non-residents have to pay $85 to apply without a bonus point...

Ya UCONN really "spanked" the UA....after all the game came down to the last tenth of the last second. Is it because the Bashful Bandit does not play nice with male nurses that ride rice burners.....is that why you hate Tucson

spoke too soon again....
