Doubt much will.come out of there. Too many people and too many a$$ holes

Leaving thanksgiving morning to the cabin. 27 for my wife and oldest. hopefully they can get that freezer full since i couldn't get it done in September.

I noticed this in 24a on friday. Took my boys out for their hunt, and we made a collective decision to go home and never put in for the early hunts in that unit again. Had a guy in front of us chucking beer cans and flicking cigarette butts purposely roosting us while we were trying to get out of the overcrowded area. If i didn't have my boys with me things would have got ugly. Beer cans and bottles all over the road. Trash everywhere and a holes on utv,s flying all over the place. We were glad to be out hunting, but from now on we will go after quality hunts and not just settle for a hunt.

With my old job I drove every ford diesel made from 2000 to present, a 2012 chevy, and a few 2012 dodges. They all pulled great. Dodge was the more stout vehicle of the bunch. Chevy was the fastest, had the smallest cab, got the best mileage, and squatted bad under a load. The fords were all around a great ride. Comfortable, fast, towed great, but they were also in the shop quite a bit. Personally I have owned a 2002 cummins, and a 2004 powerstorke. I loved the ride, the looks, and pretty much everything about the f250 except all the times it left me stranded. As with my work vehicles, injectors, HPOP, FICM, EGR, and blown head gaskets are the norm. My cummins was a beast, but it rode like a tank, and I had transmission issues frequently. If i was to buy a new rig, i would get a ram 2500 with the big HEMI and call it good. I've had 2 2500 with the HEMI and no complaints. I miss the sound and smell of the older diesels(not this new quite crap) but I cant justify an oil burner anymore.

Nice, I needed a break from all the BS.

Finally got it done after some long nasty hikes. First one down Friday morning second one down Sunday morning. First animals down for both of them. Saw lots of critters on this hunt. Friday morning we glassed up a monster pig just over 500 yards. We decided to go after it and see if we could find him again. We made it to the ridge he was on and started glassing. It came out on the hillside to our left with another equally huge pig. Ranged them at 265 yards. The oldest boy is good to go out to 300 yards but the youngest only to 100 so we decided to circle around the mountain and head them off. We make it up to the top and its pig central. Must have been at least 15. Braden(the younger one) finds the one he wants. Tyler sees them but cant find them in the scope. Braden lets the .243 loose and drops his pig. It was staring right at him and hit it behind the jaw broke it in about 100 places and ripped through the windpipe jugular and spine. Also found that the skull cracked as well. Thats why he didnt get the stick in mouth picture. In all the commotion Tyler never got a shot off. Went back out Saturday and didn't see anything but bugs. Sunday morning we hike back up the same mountain to see if the pigs have come back. We get to our spot and we got pigs in the same place 15 yards away from the first pig. Tyler gets ready and cant stop shaking and lets one loose and hits him a little far back. Pig looks a little angry with a fist size hole the .308 left in him so i tell Tyler hit him again since he started walking away. Second shot did him in. They have deer coming up Halloween day so back to the range and hopefully they slow the shakes down on the next hunt.

I say BS.

I send out of state visitors home. There is a reason they live out of state.

Taking my boys to 24a.

I don't carry a side arm for fear of an animal attack. I carry a side arm for reckless hunters. I usually have my wife and or kids with me hunting. If you know I'm there and you shoot in my direction, well lets just say its gonna get interesting. Mistakes do happen. Someone might not see another person down in a canyon and shoot. But to knowingly shoot with someone in between you and a target is just plain unacceptable.

For now i just loaded them up with h4350. My boys hunts start friday and I dont have a lot of time to try and develop a new load. I guess I'll play with it in the off season.

Nice!

Thanks for the offer. Its all in vac sealed bags in the freezer right now. Maybe when this chaotic hunting season is over.

So i got my boys pigs boned out tonight. Ive heard from some old timers to soak the meat in sprite or 7 up as the co2 will loosen up the sinew so it will peel off. After that i plan on making some sausage out of most of it and try my hand at some pulled bbq. Any suggestions for making some sausage? I plan on going to a processor next time but i wanted to show the boys how to somewhat take care of things for themselves.

When I pre load my truck i park it in the back yard and leave the back lights on. Too many worthless people out there.

Nice buck!

Looks like that dog is more excited then her!

Just wondering how many of you use FOB's? I have seen all the you tube videos and they look pretty good.

Crazy talk! There are no border problems. Secure as ever.

Im hoping my boys keep it up this year and drop some next weekend. Till then I have to desk scout.

Are you from sinaloa?Simon essay!!! Better to return fire when NOT in orange.

Too bad a bunch of people are bashing this kid. Thats an awesome deer.

somebody buy this before i start getting nostalgic and have to buy it

Yeah I know hornady makes a "factory load" Im trying to make. I might buy a box and pull a bullet and see what they shoved in there and start from there.

Shes from N.Y.=liberal. No charges will be filed.
