  1. You have the right idea. Just get out there and do it. Learning a new area is a time thing. Just go hunt what looked good to you. Deer are there! Find them. Enjoy exploring. Don't expect anyone to give you what they spent years learning. Instead... enjoy just getting out and exploring. I'm still learning 21, 22, 23 and I've been hunting them for many, many years. Go out year round as well.


  2. azshtr,

     

    I pulled this image up from the thread I have in Other Big Game. If you look closely at my rifle, you'll see the front base overhangs the bolt area because I had the same problem you had encountered. Also, note how the rear base has the thicker area to the rear, as well. The ring slots in both bases were offset, so either one was reversible. And these were Leupold bases and rings used with a Leupold scope! I chose to reverse the front one because that interfered less when filling the magazine and most importantly, if I had reversed the rear base, the eye relief would have been too much because the scope would have been too far forward.

     

    Thats what I need. I emailed Leupold and have not heard back yet. Thanks for all the help.


  3. I'm in need of advice or a point in the right direction. I have a Savage 110 270 and just bought a used Leupold VXII scope to mount on it. I purchased a set of Nikon mounts and rings but the scope is about 1/4 inch to short to fit (meaning the 1" barrel is not long enough by 1/4 inch). The mounts are not adjustable. The mounts are 5 1/2 inch apart center to center. I don't know that much about my options and don't see any help or info on the web. The weaver style mounts that came with the rifle leave a lot to be desired but did mount closer together than the Nikons.

     

    It seems that A) This scope is shorter than others. I don't see any specs on any scope listing the 1" barrel length.

    Or B) I need mounts that are not centered over the screw holes but rather sit closer together.

    Or C) I need a gun smith to mount this.

     

    I don't want to by a new scope. I don't see any rings that would be different.

     

    Any smart person can jump in with advice... well you all can jump in anyways :P

     

    Thanks


  4. I know that unit well. Go in through the Papago Park side and up towards the Hunts Tomb area. Good glassing from just over the tall barbed wire fence. Lots of great game. However you are accessing through a park system so you need to stop in and declare your intentions of hunting with the park ranger office. I don't think they allow gun hunting so bow only. Let us know how you did... or how long you did :lol:


  5. Sometimes if you insert the card into a cell phone or another type of camera it will reformat it, as stated. It happened to me with one of my game cams, where I used another camera to try and view the images but they were unnoticeable. That's my guess.

     

    Yes but remember just because its been "reformatted" all that really took place was the directory was wiped out. The data is still there till it gets overwritten by new data. Thats why you should never dump, sell, give away a computer or hard drive without first doing a secure reformat / wipe of all data. The secure wipe puts random data on the entire disc eliminating any chance of getting information. (actually even then the serious hacker types can get some data.)


  6. ➔ If unable to activate emergency medical services, transport to the nearest

    emergency room or urgent care immediately. Carry the victim to the

    car or van. Direct another adult to call ahead and alert the emergency

    care facility that antivenin treatment may be needed;

     

     

    I tried to carry a 100lb lab that was bitten. I didn't make it 1/4 mile. I couldn't imagine trying to carry a hunting partner! Perhaps if there were enough in the hunting party. But I wouldn't want to waste time recruiting new help.

     

    The dog did make it.


  7. It could be that the directory got messed up and the pics are still there. But if you formatted it would have messed up the chance of recovery. A picture gets taken and recorded on disc, but when you open the disc what you see is the directory as to where things are put. If the directory gets messed up it looks as if nothing is on the disc. In reality you can use a recovery program to "see" what is on the disc. You still could if you reformatted but some of the data is probably overwritten.
