Very nice! Congratulations to you and your brother on his kill too. Welcome, both of you, to the site.

Wow! There was a lot of antler in that photo. Congested to all!

I think the gf could have let you continue your hunt with the promise not to use the quad. That would have been the right thing to do. If the quad stays on the trailer, there is no crime to be arrested for. If it went down like you said it did, I cannot stand it when people threaten their authority like that. My two cents... but it would have saved you a lot of time had you just read the regs before you went out. Good luck in the future.

Let's see... $55,000 each per year for the next 20 years, plus the cost of the trial... Plus the life lost of a good man. Center mass people, come on!

I got pulled over Christmas Eve. The DPS officer wasn't a member of CWT.com, but follows the posts. He was very nice, asked me to step out of my truck and we chatted about hunting for a while. Let me off with a warning. Too cool. Gotta love the hunting connection.

This is my only deer I have ever killed. It is just a little guy, but the cool thing about him is that I have him on a trail camera picture as well thanks to my hunting buddies. I shot him at 40 yards at 2:00 in the afternoon. It was about 95 degrees but felt like 120 in full camo. He went about 10 yards and dropped. I have also shot this cow elk. Another really cool hunt. She came in to a water tank all by her self. I shot her at about 25 yards with a 30-06. I had just reloaded for the first time. I loaded Barnes triple shock x bullets. I shot her and she immediatley started running. I shot her again at 15 yards (she was running past me) and then she ran uphill and out of sight. I looked everywhere for blood. Nothing. Freaked me out! To make matters worse, I could find any of the brass. I started to panic and thought that maybe I had crimped the bullets way too tight and the bullet hadn't come out. I found her about 40 yards up the hill in a thicket. The reason for no blood was there was about an inch and a half of fat between her skin and the meat.

No wonder you glassed him up 1.08 miles away!!! Congrats Tines!

Has anybody tried the Barnes Tipped Triple shock in the 110 grain with the 270 WSM? I am thinking about these or the 130 grain TTSX.

AZonecam, I did not mean any disrespect. I am very familiar with BR's outstanding football program. It was a sarcastic/jealous comment about them "finally being a good team again". BR has always dominated, and when they ever did loose, it was a close game. Congrats again to both teams making it that far and to BR pulling it off. Too exciting!

Lance, congratulations to you and Weston! I loved reading that post. I too am curious about the 230 grain bullet from Mel's 270 WSM... Way to go, Josh

Even though I was a "Cougar" at school, I am glad to see 3 more of those things gone. Way to go!

I have reloaded a little in the past, but used someone elses stuff. I want to get into it but am having trouble deciding whether to get a Lee reloading kit or RCBS. I like the Lee stuff because it is so inexpensive compared to the RCBS stuff. I already have the dies for my 270 WSM in the RCBS (obtained from gentleman I purchased the gun from) but know that they are interchangeable with the Lee presses. I will only be reloading for that gun, maybe a 300 WSM and a 22-250. What are your thoughts/recommendations? Josh

Ok. Now, how about the Partner Press versus the Rock Chucker. Remember, there is about a $130 price difference in the kits. I like the price of the Partner Press, but am not sure about it's strength. It looks kind of flimsy. Any thoughts?

+1 on JeremyB being a good guy... He helped my brother out on a hunt a year ago. Even though he is a LongHorn!

I put the Nikon Buckmaster on my 270 WSM. It is the 4x12 with BDC. I absolutely love the scope. My brother picked up a Leupold from Sportsman's that has the BDC. It was about the same price. Pretty cool scope too. I went with the Nikon becasue I was like you... I wanted a decent semi long distance scope for around $300. So I felt like the added magnification was what I needed along with the BDC and liked the clarity of the Nikon. Josh

Way to go man! What a good buck. Didn't know there were any bucks left in that unit that big... I thought they were all spikes or smaller.

beauty! Well done.

Just got back from Skylar's visitation... It was a wonderful proceeding. A lot of family and friends. Skylar will be missed. Skylar passed away while taking someone on his first hunting trip. Skylar Stock was too good for this old world. God bless him and his family. Everyones prayers were definately felt. Thanks on behalf of his family.

I appreciate that HunterF. I may do that.

Hey all, I have a good friend/boss (could earn me some bonus points!) who just got a left over tag from Game and Fish for Turkey in 13A. I have never hunted up there and neither has he for Turkey. Any ideas on where he should start scouting around and where he should focus his efforts. I hear the Mount Trumbull area is really the only area there are Turkeys in 13A. Thanks!

I believe it is in April/May.

ROFLMAO! Relax dude.............dang..........this is just a forum. From this..........you really have no idea what I'm made of.........particularly my hunting ability. I now have my entertainment for tonite..............and for the next few months.............holy cow......... I wasn't knocking your hunting abilities... just the lack of your integrity. If you write stuff like this about someone who has just died just for your entertainment... well I don't think I need to go on about what kind of person you are. How lonely a life you must have. By the way, I haven't been in junior high for a long time, what does ROFLMAO mean?

Well put Wade! Thanks. Josh

I will go ahead and write this one for every one here, hey muley man, why don't you go back to Wyoming... or did they kick you out too cause your an ignorant jerk? When the good lord wants to call someone home who are you to judge how he does it? I knew Skylar personally, and I guarantee you he had more integrity, smarts, and was more of a man than you could ever dream to be. Amanda, I move that we get rid of this guy from the website. I don't want to be associated with a guy like this. I am quite offended. And I don't get offended easily. This guy is scum and a sorry excuse for a hunter.

I also shoot the 270 wsm in the tikka t3 lite. I shoot the 140 nab out of it as well. I really like how it shoots. I am going to start reloading and am thinking about trying the Barnes tipped triple shock x bullet in the 130 grain. Has anyone tried those out in this caliber? Josh
