Is the X2 the only Eberlestock you will consider? I have a F3 Halftrack that I have used on two hunts and packed out one deer in. If you are interested in a trade let me know.

If you are interested in trades, I have an AR-15 that I am willing to trade for one of your senderos

I got this tag because I was going to go hunting with a friend. After I already put in for the tag, I found out that my friend hunts with family that doesn't take kids and drives around in ATV's as their main method of hunting. Not my cup of tea, plus I won't go on a hunting trip without my son. So with that being said...I am now the owner of a tag in a unit I know nothing about. Not looking for a honey hole or specific directions, but if anyone has some general starting points that would be awesome. I have the HAM hunt.

Sent you a FB message. Tried to save a little money by staying closer to home and it came back to bite me in the backside.

I sent him a pm a week ago with no response. I figure either hunting or working. Would be nice to hear something though.

Just want to thank U of A for opening the door so my UTES have a chance to limp into first(second) in the south. I can't forget USC for going and getting themselves bowl ineligible. Our horrible first year in the PAC12 is looking up!

Bump 475$
-
I want to sell my Ruger M77 chambered in 30-06. It is an early Ultralight model with a 20 inch barrel and tang safety. I have shot less than 50 rounds through this gun. The only flaw with this gun is on the wood stock. I carried it on a deer hunt two years ago and it rubbed against a pistol on my hip. It has some surface scratches on the stock that I can provide pictures of. The gun is accurate, but I am looking to build a dedicated long range gun. Price will include rings but no scope. I will also include a brand new set of Lee Pacesetter Dies and whatever brass I have left. Pictures available on request to andygrand@gmail.com Price is 550$ or best offer. I am located in Yuma but would be willing to meet if I can work out the right deal.

Well I just realized that the card I used to apply was lost about a week ago, and so it probably wont go through. I tried to use the "update my payment information" tab on the online site, and of course it doesnt work. It says I need to select a big game species from the drop down menu but there are no choices in the drop down menu. Frustrating but at least it explains why I had no hit. I am going to try and call the DFG in the morning and see if they can update it.

Like was previously mentioned, I put in for a unit and hunt that had close to 200 leftover tags this past year. I have not had any hits on my CC. If the online app system truly made that much of a difference then we are screwed for the deer and elk draws. I am holding out hope that they are not done running all of the CC's, but I am slowly losing faith in that train of thought.

Cody is for sure good people. Most genuine dude I know! Nice buck!

If on the off chance anybody finds a camo covered canon video camera in 34a off of box canyon road please let me know. I lost mine out there last weekend. It had videos of my son as a baby and some other stuff. If anybody finds it please call me at 8018285692.

I put in for this tag on a whim. I figured the fact that only military can hunt there might increase my odds of getting a tag. I have never been there so my question is, what can I really expect? Is it a waste of my money? If I am willing to work hard and put in the time are there bears on the base to be found? I am not even sure I will draw the tag, but just wanted to get some general info in advance. Thanks

Short and to the point. I have never shot with custom turrets, and I am looking at the vortex custom turret.I have killed deer out to 500 yards just by knowing my hold and shooting that way. I hand load and have a load for deer that I have used and will use forever. Process to develop data is no problem. I am concerned the custom elevation turret won't be what I am hoping they will. I want to be able to range, dial a distance and hold right on the target. I have heard that will only work if the scope is on max power, or that it has to be on the same power you sighted it in on. I don't want to lose the ability to use the variable powers. What is your experience with turrets, and specifically the vortex ones. Is their anything I need to do different as far as mounting the scope (i.e, special rings or base)? Thanks in advance.

Nikon Prostaff BDC Scope
andygrand replied to CruiseforCoues's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Hey STOMP442 thanks for the input ill look into that, i really do like the eye relief as well as clarity for such a low price.. What is or where is Midway? Midway is www.midwayusa.com They are a very popular shooting, reloading, and everything else company. Good customer service, but I can usually find what they are selling for cheaper at other places. As for the Buckmaster, you are going to get a good scope with the nikon. That being said, I have owned and shot the buckmaster, and now the vortex viper. I will not own another scope that doesn't say vortex on it. All of the features that STOMP442 mentioned can be had on the vortex scope for less money, and a better warranty. Don't get me wrong I don't think you will be dissapointed with the Nikon, but I know you won't be dissapointed with the Vortex. -
Nikon Prostaff BDC Scope
andygrand replied to CruiseforCoues's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Go to vortexoptics.com and it will show you all of their reticles. The dead hold BDC (bullet drop compensator) is one of their reticles. -
I did the turret process and I can tell you that if you do the Trajectory validation process you don't need the good chronograph. It validates your muzzle velocity reading for you. Very accurate and user friendly process. My turrets are dead on.

Nikon Prostaff BDC Scope
andygrand replied to CruiseforCoues's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
I have several of those scopes and I like them. That being said if the budget is 200-300 you should buy the vortex viper for 250 off of Cameraland. You will not get the bdc reticle but that scope is leaps and bounds ahead of the prostaff. -
I have one of these exact tents. I have had it in some strong winds, snow, rain, and everything else you can think of. I have never had a problem and I love the room in it. Best money I have ever spent on a camping gear.

Bump reduced to 80$obo

I have two brand new pairs of Bates Light combat boots. These are hot weather boots that are great for hiking around in. I have a size 9 and a size 10 pair. Both are brand new with the tags on them. Here is a link to them on the bates website. http://www.batesfoot...ot?dimensions=0 I am asking 90$ per pair shipped .That is close to 50% off anywhere I found on a quick google search. Price is OBO and I am located in Yuma.
-
No insulation in them. I just checked and the sizes are 10EW and 9W. The 10's are steel toed and the 9's are not. Price reduced to 85$ TYD. These make great hot weather hunting boots, and great work boots. I wear a pair everyday and they are light and comfy.

I have a very good cronograph, and I know the drop at different distances for this bullet combination.

One more thing. What is FFP and SSP? I am thinking it is a fixed power scope or a selectable power scope but I am not sure what the acronyms mean.
