    Circling the drain

    They were mixing primer compound which I've read is very dangerous and those types of facilities are usually isolated a good distance from other buildings. My condolences to the family of the woman who was killed.

    Interesting grid

    In 1991 I was hunting in New River with two friends on the Halloween Mule Deer hunt. We hunted the first few days and they left on Sunday. Monday morning it got really windy and I out on the flats not far from a trik tank hunched down eating a candy bar when a couple of yards away I saw two bucks high tailing it away. I spit out that half chewed candy bar (Snickers) and hauled but toward the Mesa knowing they would drop down in the draw below it then head uphill in typical Mule Deer fashion. Well I made it a couple of hundred yards and saw them running across the the face of the hill about 50 yards from the top of Table Mesa. I pulled up and put the crosshairs on the front of his shoulder and let it fly. My first shot hit the lead buck just behind the shoulder at about 300 yards. He ran maybe 30 yards and turned headed up to the top of the hill but it bluffed out. When he stopped and turned around facing me I put the crosshairs on his chest and squeezed on off. When the bullet hit he jumped forward and disappeared. It took me an hour to climb up to him. The second shot went into his chest, took off the tip of his Johnson and broke the right femur. I took the skull cap and boned him out. I sat there and took off my boots and laid out my socks so they would dry out then hiked the 1/2 mile non-stop back to the truck. I was 39 at the time and in top shape. Savage 110, Tasco "World Class Scope with "Coated Optics" and Barnes 120gr X Bullet handloads at about 3400fps. It seems everytime I kill something I'm solo.

    Thanks to all for replies

    That 87 is $2800 too much. On a good day and that's being generous.

    So who went to Scheels today?

    I went Thursday about 11:00. Wasn't bad. Lot's of sales people asking if I needed help or wanted to see anything. I imagine there will be less of them in six months. At 250K Sq' it's 50% larger than Bass Pro. At least it's well lit. Prices were about list. The "New" will wear off in about three months.

    My 2023 Bear

    Beautiful Bear. Congratulations.
  23. PRDATR

    shoot?

    2X3 possibly 3 1/2 - 4 years old. It will put on some weight but I don't see that rack getting more points.

    How do you measure success?

    I can have a satisfying hunt without killing something. I have passed on deer and elk in hopes of killing one with a bigger rack.
