Live in north phoenix, work in south chandler. Can mail for whatever cost is. She is pretty. Between being fully set up with my 660 in 308, my inability to find ammo for her and my desire to shoot this round from a much longer barrel, she will just continue to collect dust if I keep her. And I have to finish paying the taxman.

Cabelas has them in stock online right now.

Have some family in MO, and family friends in NE, but can't say I know anyone in IA. Think I am leaning towards the Omaha side at this point in time, but still need to research things some more. Thanks for the info on antelope, never even thought about that.

I was approached at work today about an opportunity to help run a 1-2 year job in the Omaha, NE/Council Bluffs, IA area. When it comes to outdoor opportunities(and fees), which of the two states would it be worth living in? As this will likely be my best chance at the other WT, that opportunity is high on my list. I would also like to get in some pheasant and waterfowl hunting, turkey come spring and of course get a line wet a time or two. Been looking at apartments all evening so have not had too much of a chance to check into this myself, but I do see NR Iowa deer tags are pricey. Thanks all.

Didn't even think about quail. MO would be over an hour away from the job site. With the hours I'll be working on this job, that would make for way too long of a day. My aunt & uncle live in MO so I know I will be making several trips that way anyways, with a standing invitation for his best tree stand come archery season. I've had a chance to look at the IA dnr website, but not the NE one yet. Thanks.

Found a of his elephant hunt. Man have times changed.

Good looking rig. What are you planning on shooting through her?

I run a Thulmer's with the SS media and I have not noticed any deforming. With that said, I only deprime prior to cleaning, and then resize afterwards. I know it's doing things twice, but the SS media gets the primer pockets nice and clean, so no need to do that step by hand.

Cindi and Corky's daughter did as well. There is also a video on youtube of and Corky's hunts.

See his new avatar? Now he's stacking trout too! Definitely way too much free time.

Fixed.

John, Your inbox is full again.

Was actually just at one this afternoon, Cobblers Den @ Bell & Scottsdale. Great customer service. Have not had anything resoled there yet, but would do it in a heartbeat if I needed to.

+1 on reading the G&F where to hunt sections. There has only been one area that I have hunted/scouted listed in those sections that I was unable to find fresh sign or see what I was looking for. And it had more to do with time restrictions and me focusing on not driving off a mountain. If you pick a spot listed there and spend 2-3 days putting boots on the ground, I guarantee you will find trails, fresh droppings, beds and maybe even push a few deer. Edit- Don't forget to use google earth to help you locate water sources.

Bump for great boots.

About as good and articulate of a 2nd Amendment article as I have read in a long time(courtesy of AZS.com). http://www.iowastatedaily.com/opinion/article_1c144792-b36d-11e2-8ac6-001a4bcf887a.html?mode=story

Nope, can't print anything with a brain. Let's do it!

My project at work is coming to an end so I have an unplanned vacation coming up. Seeing as how I have an OTC archery turkey tag, as well as a fly line that has been dry for far too long, I think I know just how I will start that vacation. But this also raises the question: if you could take off the entire archery turkey season, and wanted to get in some good fly and spin fishing along the way, which unit would you head to? To make things even more interesting, I've never bagged a turkey, this will be my first time going after them with a bow and there is at least one major fishery in/near each unit that is on my to do list that I've never been to. I'm curious to see peoples responses. Thanks.

Wouldn't be my first time. I used to do casts & blasts all the time when I lived in CO. Never caught a lot, hardly ever shot anything, but was always a good time. Even managed to mix in some predator hunting a few times, and that was quite fun. My thoughts for this are more along the line of hunting till I get a bird, and then fish whatever days are left. Of course, if I don't have a turkey by the end of the season, I could always extend my vacation to make sure I get in some quality fishing time-you know, to keep my sanity in good health and all..... What's the snow like in 1/27 right now?

I don't see bipods. Are you guys using sticks or shooting offhand? What ranges are you comfortable with having a 20" barrel and tops of 10 power? Ever have any issues in close?

All firearms with serial numbers will be checked for being reported stolen. All rifled barrels will have ballistics performed to x-reference to databases. Any firearm making it passed those two will be destroyed. This was straight from the police. Did read in an article that firearms that appeared to be of historical value would be assessed and if deemed appropriate, saved from destruction. It did not specify what would happen to them after such evaluation.

Gun Buyback Program $200 for AR's, $100 for all others, dispensed as Bashas gift cards. Anyone going to grab a stack of cash and help prevent some of these firearms from being destroyed(new law not in effect yet)?

There is nothing to wonder about, of course they could. Heck, you or I could too, if that's what we chose to do. Anyone can do anything they set their mind to. Wether that thing be for good, for bad or indifferent, it does not matter. Will these be used in crimes? Likely. Will they be used to defend someone's life? I hope so. I look forward to the other possibilities that this technology will provide.

Bad News- Phoenix PD ran out of the Bashas gift cards at the south phoenix location. A bunch of firearms had their death warrant signed today. Heard a mini-14 was turned in, but nothing else high end. Good News- Showed up an hour late, and there was about 100-150 people on the street with signs buying guns. Heard there was a pair of cops giving a few people grief first thing this morning, but all the officers I ran into were quite cordial. They merely asked for us to not stop traffic on the main road. Best thing I saw someone grab was a pre-64 model 70 in 30-06. Managed to see a bunch of interesting older firearms, many not in working condition. I snagged 6 firearms including an SKS, a 10/22 and a Stevens 22-410(always wanted one). Everything needs a good cleaning, others some major work, but I look forward to working on my gunsmithing and woodworking skills for those. All in all, it seemed like there were quite a few people who were willing to stop, but more who wanted nothing to do with us. That said, many guns were saved toady.

Anything I do not sell locally(cash) must be by USPS money order. Even then, I wait a week for it to clear prior to shipping anything. Legit people don't mind the wait, sketchy ones hate waiting.
