If your velvet made it in the freezer in a reasonable time it will be fine. It's up to the taxidermist on how they want to treat it. Some freeze dry it some inject ect. I think freeze dried looks the best. The less the velvet gets touched and messed with the better it looks.

+1 for the 215gr Bergers and H1000

I've killed and helped kill a few deer in the wallow fire burn and everyone of them was hard to find even with the picture, rangefinding method. The grass is tall and all the fallen burnt trees look the same. The picture taking method and rangefinding help. As does leaving a buddy from where you shot from and have him vector you in.

I've hunted 6A a few times PM me if you would like and I can get you a few starting points.

How bout them Pics?

From the pics I would guess. 310-320. Either way nice bull and I would have a hard time giving him a pass.

Any intrests in trade for a Benelli M2 ?

Intrested in any trades?

Bump shoulder .002" with a FL die and never look back! I went through the neck sizing phase and it was a pain to FL size every 3 or 4 reloads to get my brass to chamber, I only have 1 rifle that it made a slight noticeable difference to Neck size. it seemed to take the gun from a 1MOA shooter to a 5/8 to 3/4 moa gun. The rest of my rifles dont seem to have a preference, After going through it all I am a FL size only guy now.

Please explain?

I show mailing for 3 out of my 5 apps. As a non resident I don't think I got 3 tags. Have buddy's that show 6 out of 6 and some that show 1 out of 5 . No correlation and no way 3 guys I know got bighorn sheep tags. I don't think this is a back door.

I put in for Az, NM, Colo, UT, and Wy every year..AZ has the absolute worst most user unfriendly website. Colorado regs suck and their website is not far behind. Ut,NM and Wy websites are great. Az should take notes from them.

Nothing is wrong with them for most people i know many people who love them. Even after being lapped I have seen them do some weird things and cause some tracking issues on a long range rig. They just aren't for me I will stick with steel rails and rings

Nothing wrong with leupold bases. You could not give me a set of talleys. I prefer a steel rail and rings. Also doesnt Howa 1500 LA use Rem 700 LA bases? Find a steel rail for Rem 700 long action and you'll be set?

I dont wear a whole lot camo I prefer earth tones. Deadeye outfitters sells the a ton of clothes that are similar to this and they hardly have any camo ,they seem to be doing very well. Just sayin.... Best of luck with the business!
