I have to post this to compliment and thank The NWTF Longbeard Chapter, Rich Williams, The Az Elk Society, Arizona Wings Taxidermy, Cabelas and all the other volunteers and donors that put these camps on. Last year my youngest daughter went for her first hunt and we had a blast. Our mentor was our cousin, Joe DiVito and we went out and got on birds the first morning. We set up on the edge of a small cut and started calling. We called a tom in but he never presented himself for the kids. He got behind us and we thought we might get a shot. We heard a hen calling down below from about the same area we first heard him and apparently so did he. He flew right over the top of us and down to the hen. Our mentor told us to stay where we were and he would try to call him back up. We sat there and he called for about 15 minutes and we heard a hen call about 50 yards away but out of sight. I told my daughter to get ready. We first saw the hens head pop up on the ridge then she kept coming. The tom followed behind her about 5 yards and when we had a good clear shot, at about 35 yards, Julia, my daughter, let loose with my SuperBlack Eagle 12ga with a 3in #5 turkey load. That bird rolled and flapped and stayed down. Julia was all eyes. I asked her how it felt to have killed not only her first turkey but her first big game animal. She was all smiles and excited. I asked her how the recoil was from the shotgun, and she said "It pushed me a little more then the 20ga we had used to practice". We of course took pictures and decided to get back to camp and see the other kids birds. We got back and to our surprise we had the first bird from the camp. And Arizona Wings Taxidermy donated a free tail and wing mount to the first bird killed. Double excitement. We went back out with the other kids, but were not able to seal the deal for my older daughter or their cousin. Hopefully this year they connect. We picked up the mount yesterday and she made me hang it right away, in her room! Again a big thank you to all that put these camps on and I cant wait to go back this year, From a happy young lady and her proud father.

There is a Leopold vx3 6.5-20 for sale with a turret for sale in the classified section. I have shot my 300wsm with one for probably 10 years. Mine tracks very well

The purge progresses. I have 48 new Razorheads but only 42 bleeders. I believe they weigh 145gr. Does anyone on here use them.

No longer available.

I have my daughters shoot my Remington Mod Seven in a 308. I cut the stock down and had it threaded for a SilencerCo Harvester 30. 3 kids killed with it last year. and 3 the year prior. I also have a Remington 600 in 243, with a youth stock on it. It was one that had been damaged in a car accident, but still shot great. I had it threaded and put a SilencerCo Specwar556 on it. I know the opening appears to be smaller then the bullet but since the can is machinegun rated, it is opened up to 7.5mm. It is really quite and the recoil on it is about like a 223. My nephews killed with it 2 years ago, both with shots over 250 yards. The use of silencers will dramatically increase accuracy because of the reduced muzzle report, reduced recoil, and decreased muzzle flip. It helps take away the flinch factor. The ones I use reduce the sound from 23-34 decibels, which is huge. Some kids I have taken shooting are fine with the recoil but the noise, even with ears is too much. It also reduces recoil, and depending on the can/caliber it can be up to 40% reduction. There is a bill before Congress to take them off of the NFA list. I hope it passes, but if it doesn't it still is worth the time and $ to get one. IMO

I bought this bad boy about 2009-2010 It works great. I killed a bunch of coyotes with it then my oldest son started playing baseball, then wrestling and predator hunting got put aside. It all still works great. Last week I took it out and tried my hand. I thought my Jackinthebox was going to get hammered by a Great Horned Owl. He flew over 2 times then landed in a tree and watched it for about 5 min. The remote operates the call and with the cord the decoy. Here is a link about it http://www.sportsmanssupplyco.com/Foxpro The files can be changed on the call, the USB cable is with it.

Wife almost got her first deer...
cactusjack replied to CatfishKev's topic in Bowhunting for Coues Deer
a buddy of mine shooting at his first deer in Nebraska, I remember watching the arrow sail way over its back. I asked him if he used his first pin. He said yes "the first from the bottom". All the range time went out the window when buck fever hit. -
260k miles, it's almost broken in. These bad boys never die.

Sold.

In my searching for lost items, I keep turning up "treasures" I have rat holed away. First up I believe this to be a B-Squared barrel vice with 4 bushings. Written on the bushings is-Sport 1.125, Mauser 1.00, Springfield (no numbers) and one with what looks like FD or something. Not sure on that one. This was in a box from an auction. Looks like they discontinued this vise. B-Squared T1515, I think. They have been used, because there is still some resin inside of a couple bushings. 40.00 Then we have 40 fired cases for a 222 Remington and 15 what appears to be factory loaded Remington 50grain PTD Soft Pt. 10.00 SPF Fired 45 Long Colt brass- one box of 50 and another plastic box of 43. come and get it. I found another box of long colt. More to follow. Stay tuned.
