are you in phoenix? flagstaff?

THE .280 great round for 12a. you will see alot of deer. on the late hunt i saw 33 four points in one afternoon. it could snow. if i was you i would pray for it. it will be better if it does. and likely only a skiff. to 4 inches. right on top . post your deer when you can. PM .

I would load about 7.0 of 3N38 and a 147 grain hornady crop.

120 grain ballistic tip and either n560 or re-19. nosler or norma brass.

did you harvest any predators?

that is good unit for bull elk. very luck to draw it. what rifle? do you have empty brass from your rifle?

are all the tags left over this year?

I have a couple boxes each of the bonded bear law and nosler partitions. 180 grain 30-06. The partitions shot .6 and clocked 2888 out of a Remington 700 mtn rifle with a 22” barrel . Worked real good on a 6 point bull elk. I would love to know their recipe.

The article in handloader magazine is long includes some aa-7. worth the 15$

Kidso told me he calls the lions in when trying to call bears. Kidso?

i have not called one but others have. some with a cow call in archery elk season, some during turkey season in april ; some with regular predator calls . i have been targeting lion not having as much success as recurve .

that is awesome! i think the buck dove in? is that ice around the edges?

AA9 - 165 ( 15.5).... 180 (15.0) save yourself a lot ... get handloader magazine june 2008

your eye is the rear sight so fit is important. also with the loads they make for turkey now a 20 can be very effective. i have killed both merriam and goulds with my 20 ( savage model 24). i am still shooting the 12 and 20 guage beretta autos i got in 1972 and 1982, plus a citiori o/u 20 i got more recently. they last a long time get a good one.

Catfish kev- in the washington videos i was impressed by their tracking the wounded lions. especially the one with no snow. interesting they use rifles which is what i use, but many here use 3' 4 buck and it in many cases woud be better. for sure i would use it for following up a wounded one. ron

nice ones

awesome!!

that is a great story! great job! what rifle and caliber do you like for bulls? thanks ron

nice one

i am of the lighter faster group of .357 shooters. i like 125's best.

i read buffaloe bore 124 get 1300 out of a 4". even more from a 5". the mule deer i shot 2 in the heart/lungs, 12 -25 yards. the other under the ear closer.

Elk- what ammo/load? 5" beretta?

nice buck!

what rifle and binos are you taking?

i have harvested three mule deer ( also 8 javs, and 3 coyotes and several fox) with my .357 revolver. i have not shot a coues. even with a super accurate 9 like a sig P210, capable of say a 50 yard shot the power is not real high. get close. all the mule deer i shot were under 25 yards.
