are those the CDS dials on it?

just my experience that usually the guzzlers shut down after a good rain, the deer come into them real cautious because they get ambushed by lions a lot at water so if they can go elsewhere they seem to do it

I have the Outback Lodge, sets up similar to the Alaknak, I get tired of dodging the center pole. I picked up the Bighorn II, room, bright, set up for a stove if you want it, has a floor and I picked up a painters canvas drop cloth from Home Depot that I put down as a liner, cheaper that the one offered by Cabela's and I just throw it in the washer if it gets muddy. Both tents build up condensation at night, so they don't breathe like the canvas ones.

how disabled, can you walk or do you need to sit water? Sitting water now is a waste of time, too much rain and the deer won't be hitting the guzzlers for a couple months, too many natural pools for them to drink from.

east side or west side of the unit? I visit the Eagletails country quite a bit

wish I had the funds, I'd snatch these up in a heartbeat, I like 7's or 8's around my neck & 15's in the pack if you still have them come summer time I'll take them, right now I'm putting together a longshooter that is taking my money

glad to see this post, I'm putting a 264 together. The 264wm didn't take off because not long after it came out Rem came out with the 7mm and people liked that they could get heavier bullets for it and not give up much in velocity and there was never a big selection of bullets for the 264, that and it had the reputation of being a barrel burner, whether deserved or not.

you'll spend a lot more time behind bino's than a spotting scope, Swaro's

I have a pair of these I use for backups and loaners, if you have kids you want to take hunting these are great for them, or if you take people out to teach them how to hunt it's nice to set them up with glass to get them started on learning how to glass

I was on Dugas Rd a couple days ago between the rain storms, muddy sloppy mess, driving sideways half the time and clown feet 3 steps from the truck, especially up on top

my Grandma used to make venison ham with a hind qtr, she would use a big needle and syringe to shoot brine in along the bone in addition to letting it soak

cartridge in a bare tree.............

picking up a .264winmag to turn into a long shooter, plan on the Hornady 143 gr ELDX if the rifle likes it, speed wise it will fall between the 6.5x284 and the 26 Nosler

I've helped take and taken one that had white socks working up their legs, hopefully I'll find one like this in the area eventually.

did you check and trim case length?

gunbroker.com is a pretty good spot

and if you look into them the FS can use the roads, so can ranchers, miners and fire wood cutters with a permit and actively cutting firewood, it is only hunters and campers that the roads are off limits to

I used to do mine on the Weber, would stuff the cavity with fruit, apples, oranges & pineapple chunks, place it breast down in a pan to collect the juice for basting with, then scatter wood chips on the coals a couple times during the cooking process. Always came out wonderful but you can't use the drippings for gravy, the fruit taste ain't that hot in gravy.

not fiction, PBS had a show about this guy maybe 10 years ago

looks like the old Weaver detachable scope mounts, have one on an old Model 724 but have never used them to take off/remount the scope.

these are nice rifles, especially in close qtrs like hunting timber, I've got a BLR Lightening in 30-06 that I put detachable scope mounts on so I can use open sights too if necessary. Learned with remounting the scope to tighten the front mount first, then the back or it hits a couple inches higher at 100 yds, do it right and you are within 1/2 inch of where it was when you took the scope off.

nice gun, I've got a Trapper's Model 92 in 25-20, my Dad and I found it in an abandoned cabin on the Wind River Reservation in the mid 60's, had a mud dabbers nest down the barrel. I cleaned and shot it way back when, bore is is bad shape, can tell it had a lot of black powder rounds shot through it and wasn't cleaned very well. Only issue with mine is the magazine tube is not stock, it's off a different rifle as it extends a couple inches past the end of the barrel and has different blueing, we guessed a horse fell with it or somehow the original tube was bent and a hillbilly fix was done.

based on a real mtn man known as Liver Eating Johnson, he ate the livers of several of his Crow enemies, because it's Hollywood they added bits from the lives of other mtn men but he was a real person.

offhand running shot with open sighted 30-30 at 400 yds and headshot it..........yep, about that coastal land in Az you have for sale........

backpacking Hellsgate Wilderness Area, came around a corner and a little, tiny bear cub ran up a branch of a cottonwood that had fallen, was only maybe 6 ft away from me, no hesitation I hollered "bear" to my partner and jumped in the creek and started swimming, after a few strokes I rolled over on my back and looked at the shore, Mamma Bear was standing there stamping her feet and woofing, had I paused for a moment and thought what a cute little cub Mom would have messed me up bad.
