    my about me stuff...

    Welcome. This book will give you a starting point and just spend as much time on this website as you can. If you hunted the Chiricahua's 30 years ago we probably walked the same hills and washes. http://store.coueswhitetail.com/how-to-hunt-coues-deer-book/

    wtb used canyon cooler or yeti

    OK. They are good coolers but after looking at the hinges, gaskets and alignment of all the high dollar coolers out there on trips to Cabelas, BP and Sportsmans my mind is made up and I won't purchase anything else than a Yeti. They are all so closely priced that it just isn't worth my time to look any further even if the competition was half priced. Because I will have to look myself in the mirror and know I "cheaped out" and settled for second best. Like someone said a long, long, long time ago. Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten.

    Average Height for Coues

    That is very close. The last one I measured was 36" at the top of the shoulder and 36" from chest to butt.

    That stinks, I know how hard you were looking for one. Is your son color blind as well?

    Looking Locally for Burris Signature Rings

    Found a pair at Guns Etc.
  12. I am looking for the Weaver Style Medium Flat finish 1" and have not been able to find them in the east valley at either Bass Pro or Sportsmans. If anyone knows of a local shop that carries them I'd appreciate it.

    Good to meet you. The Henry was as advertised if anybody is on the fence on the Manfretto stuff.

    wtb used canyon cooler or yeti

    I usually don't mind but $465 out the door for a cooler is a big chunk of change. I looked at all the name brand coolers and the Yeti just stood excelled in every way. Better fit and finish and better gasket

    Rifle scope question!

    What brand scope do you have and what rifle and caliber are you shooting? Shooting paper from a bench at 600 yards with all the time in the world is a whole different game then popping a buck at the same distance off a tree limb or rock. I shot a budget 16X Weaver T16 in Silhouette Competition out to 500 Meters and never felt handicapped by lack of magnification.

    Ammo and Shooting Accessories at Sports authority

    I hit three stores by 10:30, spent way too much money.
  19. No matter how hard you try there are just going to be those stands where animals will come in behind you making it next to impossible to get off a shot. I sit with my rifle in my lap on a little fold up stool I bought @ Larada's in Mesa about 20 years ago to keep my feet and ankles from falling asleep after 10 or 15 minutes. The plus is it keeps your butt dry and off the stickers while allowing you to stay low. I have been using a mouth call since about 1985. My routine is call for 10-20 seconds, stop for 10 seconds or so and repeat. When I stop I rest my hands in my lap so I can grab the rifle is I see a dog coming in. I won't shoot until he slows way down or stops. If he busts me and puts on the afterburners then he's done but that usually only happens on doubles after I shoot the dog that is further away. I use a 22-250 but will also use a 12ga with 3" in #4 buck for thick stuff where shots are under 40 yards. I use an earth cover scent but I don't worry much about the wind. If there are hungry dogs in the area they will come in.

    Buying rifle questions

    What a guy. LOL But the big question is are you going to put those eagle eyes of yours to good use and glass for him?

    Ruger M77/MKII Long Action Stock

    Long actions are typically 30-06 sized cases and up so a 300 Win would be a long action. Short actions would be 223, 243 and 308.

    Welcome to the site, no experience in that unit for me but I know your dad will be guiding you.

    Country Thunder

    I'd rather sit in my chair out in the desert watching the fire and listen to KRDE. Although now that Tim and Willie and the dittzy third leg are on it gives me more incentive to make my morning commute over by 6am. I just hope and pray it doesn't change the whole format to all day Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift then end up just another "country" station like KNIX or KMLE playing the same songs over and over and over.
