    Cold Steel Knives

    I snapped off a Buck knife with the gut hook and found out that knives aren't pry bars. They perform best when slicing through soft tissue and don't work well to chop bone either. Look at the warranty info, it probably has a disclaimer about bending it. Some knives can do that but I thing when you approach the higher Rockwell Hardness ratings that becomes an issue.

    In your face bugle action! Heavy Rut activity!!!!

    I was at Woods Canyou early yesterday and had a bull walk out in front of me on the Rim Road. I pulled over and followed him into the trees a bit and heard some other bulls bugle. Fog was as thick as pea soup with max visibility of about 100'. Was wishin I had a tag and it was open season.

    Thats no lie. What is happening to businesses from Corpus to Key West is criminal because of the stupid moratorium on no drilling. Lots of Mom and Pop businesses gone, family savings gone.

    what qualifies?

    Take up shooting High Power Silhouette or High Power itself and shoot in some matches to develope and hone the skill necessary to be proficient. Shooting in a match you will also learn to deal shooting under stress. http://www.nrahq.org/compete/highpower.asp

    Hunting Technology. How much is enough?

    And what did we do before Bow Sights? We knew the trajectory of the arrow and canted the Bow accordingly.

    coal for tent stove

    I don't know anything about stoves so I'll ask. When you leave in the morning to hunt how does the coal get put out when nobody is there to keep an eye on it? I use a propane fired Heater Buddy and with a 5' hose I can attach it to a 5gal cylinder which I keep outside the tent I also keep the tent ventilated and the heater has a low oxygen sensor built in.
  13. I have a pair of Pronghorns I got a couple of years ago and they broke right in and have not had any problems with them other than they could be a little wider.

    Sierra Vista Area

    I have never hunted that area, which hunt do you have? You can also call G&F (Tucson Office?) and ask to have the Wildlife Manager for that area to call you. That can sometimes take a week as they are usually in the field but it is worthwhile and sometimes you can arrange to meet them if you are out scouting for a weekend.

    Thoughts on Thermal Imaging

    I'd say as long as you are targeting a specific deer you have patterend on a game camera over a pile of corn and you're sitiing in a blind 800 yards away you're good to go. This is def the way to go for the hunter of the future. You can sleep in and wack a deer before lunch and if you have a wood cutting permit and the ambition to haul arse cross country you can be home by 3, posting pics. Perfect World.
  19. Here is some interesting reading. http://www.rathcoombe.net/sci-tech/ballistics/methods.html
  20. Soon after the Nosler Ballistic Tip made it's debut a national gun magazine ran some comparison tests using 7mm Remington Magnum. The BT's had the least penetration, about 17", compared to the partition and another Nosler bullet. Three bullets, all by Nosler and the same weight were shot into ballistics gelletin (sp). At the time it had the same construction of a hollow point, just with a plastic tip stuffed into the nose. While on a hunt my partner shot a forked point at 400yds with a 150gr BT in a 300 Weatherby. The first shot crippled the buck making it unable to walk. We proceeded to head down into the bottom of the canyon to dispatch it but he decided to take another shot and hit it in the ham. 15 minutes later when we made it down there it had died but the last shot had blown up on impact and there was pulverized green plastic all through the ham.
