    Which release do you use?

    Thanks for all your input, I wasn't really looking at the Scotts. I ended up buying the Scott Shark. I was after the Tru Ball Assassin SST, but out of stock. So I decided to get the Scott because of other research I had done. Still might get the Tru Ball at a later date for a backup.

    does anybody know this person?

    now what are those of us without tags going to do? I would love to hear other stories of "hunts gone wrong", I have lived so many of them. Like opening morning, sun comes up guys on every compass point, and I in the middle. no animal could have gotten to me without a hail of gun fire. Went home and cut grass.

    does anybody know this person?

    I would be glad to hear the WHOLE story! It seems to me that all we have heard is that someone wanted to know if anyone knew who was the driver of a truck with a plate # because he and another group had a run in in the woods. I have followed this whole thread with a bitter taste in my mouth, laughter, distrust, and the tought that I know that a bunch of guys probably had a bad hunt. As a former midwest deer driver, our "unwritten" rule was he who puts the animal down is the guy who tags it. Not saying thats right or wrong, just complicates matters in the heat of battle. Waiting in anticipation of "the whole story"

    Nikon Prostaff BDC Scope

    I have a nikon BDC scope on my weatherby, and I love it. So far it has proved very accurate to my nikon range finder as I have taken all the game I have shot at with one shot. Scope is very clear.

    WTB RH 243

    I have a remington model 710 243 with a bushnell scope that I will let go for $250. Shoots well, and is the right size for a smaller shooter. Pm me if you are interested.

    White Dodge

    Saw a newer white dodge with what looked like a air blocker for a fifth wheel on top headed north on Dysart Rd. at I-10 yesterday afternoon.

    243 Bullets

    I am a Hornaday fan, either the 95 grain SST or the 100 grain BTSP are good choices. I would also like to comment on you purchasing a new 243. I just picked up a Remington model seven in .243, and really love this gun. I got the carbine, but the longer barrel would be good also. This gun is nice and lite, without much kick. I put a fixed power scope for fast handling on it also. works excellent. Good luck and have fun with the kids

    Wanted: fallen tree removed!

    If you put a free fire wood sign, no one will touch it. It you put a firewood for sale sign out, someone will steal the whole thing.

    THIS HAPPENED TO ME!!!

    When my son turned old enough to hunt,he and I went squirrel hunting. We were walking down a 2 track and saw a muzzle loader hunter sitting in a blind. We backed out and made a wide circle around him to not disturb his hunt. What happened was that we kicked up deer to him and he shot and the whole herd of about 20 deer ran straight back to us. there were deer running into trees and we had to take cover not to get run over. One of the deer dropped within feet of my kid. I walked out and found the hunter, he never saw us, and led him to the deer. We still talk about that squirrel hunt every year as small game season comes around.

    Woods canyon lake project?

    I like the idea, and would participate. I too try to leave a spot better than when I came, that was instilled in me from Boy Scouts. It is amazing to me how people can walk away from their mess. We were at Canyon Lake yesterday, and the kids were dragging sunglasses and plastic wine glasses out of the lake.

    Music - Songs for the drive

    +1 for Fred Bear. Now a classic for hunt prep.
  18. Does anyone have any experience with a Sightron Scope? They have excellent reviews for short action guns. I am going to scope a Remington Model 7 in 243, and am looking for a compact scope. The rifle was only $500, and is a brush buster, so I am looking for a scope in the $200-300 range. Must be lightweight, and I am pretty set on fixed power. any suggetions would be welcome. Thanks

    Tonto Closures

    Well, its getting harder to find places to camp this year. I vowed to spend more time in the outdoors this year, but closing the national forests is not making that easier. I understand and agree with the solution, just whining.

    difficult bolt turn

    Well, I'd like to ask everyone if they have ideas as to what would make a bolt hard to turn on an empty chamber. I have a remington 710 in .243 that I have to slap the handle down to get the bolt to seat. It is the same on an empty chamber as it is with a few shot ie... cold or hot barrel makes no difference. any help would be great.

    A sad loss

    Sorry for your loss. I agree that it sounds like a professional job, not drug addicts. The police us the term "tweekers" to cover up the fact that they don't really want to investigate crime. We have had all kinds of copper wire stolen from work by "tweekers" that knew what 480 volt wires to cut(live sets versus standby sets) with extra heavy duty cutters which they brought on scene.

    Boat knowledge needed

    After 20 years in the Coast Guard, and seeing alot of boats in all manor of shape, the advise of buying a boat that the previous owner took care of is a must. Trust your gut, and if it doesn't feel right, it is hard to shake that feeling and then you won't use it. I would rather have an older boat that was taken care of then something newer thats a "good deal." Boat= Bust Out Another Thousand

    Google Earth - Can't see any detail anymore

    I work for the Avondale water department, and the other day I see a vehicle approaching with a big funky bolbus antenna on top. It was a google earth vehicle running all the roads in a subdivision.
