Good to hear about the whisker biscuit. I just bought my son's bow from him and saw it had one on it and I was wondering about that. He can't really shoot it anymore so it just was sitting there so he wanted me to put it on here and sell it for him but I just decided to keep it since my bow is almost 30 years old. I just need to get it setup for my since he is a lot taller than I am.

I watched Big Browns better half put the smack down like a pro on a nice Coues last year with his 6.5. I think it was like 289 yards and the buck went maybe 20 feet.

Yup, I did that the second time out with it. I think I have the 8' hose.

I went camping under the guise of Turkey hunting this past weekend. No bird but had this Mountain King Snake pay me a visit. Caterpillar is a Giant Swallowtail Butterfly, not sure what kind of fungus that is but I think squirrels like to eat them.

They should have never caved in. Cub Scout and Boy Scout here from Long Island NY Troop 356. 55+ years later I'm still in contact with my pack members.

You must work close to home Pics? If he is like me and has a company vehicle he probably only drives it a few times a month. I rarely if ever drive mine during the week.

I have driven the Hemi 1/2 Ton, plenty of power. I would imaging you can expect the gas mileage to be cut by 50% when towing like most all other gassers.

Always One To Tinker... .300RUM w. 230 Hybrids?
PRDATR replied to lancetkenyon's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Usually a crescent mark on the face of the base, if that makes sense. -
Beautiful. Last time I caught any that big I was in the 49th State. Didn't know there were trout that big here.

I work with a guy who bought this same rifle last year so I asked him to bring it in to the office so I could see it and I was impressed at how nice it was. I really like how the fluted barrel looked.

Dang that stupid flier That was the first shot. The others were after I adjusted the scope.

One thing I wished it had this weekend were the side vents of the VX model. The wind was out of the south and I had it set up facing east/west so little to no breeze in the tent. It looks like the only different between the base and deluxe models is one additional door in the front and rear. I set it up by myself in about 15-20 minutes. The tent without the poles is probably 45-50 pounds.

Improvised.

It is also know as the "bird poop" caterpillar. Turns into a huge black butterfly.

Not sure when I'll get another chance to go back out. I've had luck in this area before with gobblers sounding off in a few areas but it was hot and they were quiet except for one who stayed on private property and I couldn't get him to come off either day. I did hear some wolves on opening morning and found a nice Coues shed, after I just about tripped over it. I also heard for the first time about 4 or 5 hens getting into a ruckus and that went on for a few minutes. Don't know what they were fighting over.

Yes this is a 10x14 I bought on here from a member last year. I have a heavy duty tarp I had made about 5 years ago from some company on the internet for a 10x10 tent and had it made to 10x14 so that worked out well. Same heavyweight material the flat bead truckers use. After I staked it down I broke out the poles and realized I did not have the four bars for the sides. This was about noon and I didn't want to make the 10 hour round trip home. Fortunately I had the fiberglass poles from my old 10x10 dome tent with me so I cut the cord that holds them together but alas they were too fat to get into the holes. I had used some tent stakes from Wally World to hold it down and still have the stakes that came with the tent. I sized one up and it fit perfectly into the end of the pole. I had four 1/2" hose clamps so I clamped one of the fiberglass poles parallel to the stake about 2" from the end of it but there was nothing to support the rest of it to take advantage of the strength of the stake. Then I remembered I has some steel tie wire used to hold rebar together. I did a few wraps at the other end of the stake and used my linesmens pliers to snug it up. I did the other three and prayed as I lifted one side up to put in the pole. It looked good and the fiberglass poles seemed to handle the weight of the tent. I went over to the other side and raised it up and set the pole. As I looked up though I saw that the 90 degree end had poked through the canvas. Oh well, tent officially was "broken in". Could have been worse, I mean sleeping in the back of the truck.

I'm a die hard 22-250 fan, only had one dog that I didn't recover in 30 years of calling. I have wanted to go to a 243 but haven't taken either the Vanguard Youth S2 or the Pre 64 Featherweight both in 243 out in the field. My son has a 700 Youth in 243 and I have used it on Javelina and wanted to retire the 22-250 so I couldn't resist getting another one when Cabelas had the Savage Axis on sale for $259 in March. I replace the original trigger and put a 3x9 on it and this is the result with Federal Factory Ammo, 100gr for $17 a box. Now I just need to find a lighter bullet or break out my old reloading stuff.

Excellent hunt.

Looking forward to pics and the story Bob.

I was in 27 and it was hot, only got to hunt Friday and Saturday. I was on a Tom both mornings but he was on private property and wouldn't come in. He was silent on the roost but gobbling from about sunrise to 6:30 or so. I the past years when I have hunted this are the Toms would gobble on and off from when they were on the roost then again for a few hours but that was always the early hunt. I left at noon on Saturday when the storm came in as I didn't know what to expect. Like a dummy I didn't catch the weather report before heading out on Thursday morning and the area is fairly remote with zero cell service or radio signal. It was nice and cool yesterday morning and I was kicking myself for not staying thinking maybe the drop in temperature would have got them talking again. I might look at my maps and see if I can find another area in the unit that looks promising. It sure was very dry where I was and this is the only part of the unit I am familiar with having hunted it on and off since about 2012.

Stepped on it yesterday turkey hunting. It was laying a few feet from a barb wire fence in the grass. Looks to be about a few days to a week old.
