Perkele!

Bought one thanks to Antlerdog who put me in contact with a buddy of his who had one for sale.

As the title says. WTB Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5mm Creedmoor Let me know what you have. Thanks

Ttt

Brand new, only a dozen arrows through at the range. 28.5 DL 65 DW, currently turned down to 58. I bought this bow for my ex but even at 58 it was to heavy of a draw for her. I installed the 5 pin TRUGLO but before I could sight it we split. It has a WhiskerBiscuit and a Limb Saver installed as well. Quiver included too, I forgot to mention when I posted. This is a Right Hand Bow. $550

I say it's a good call and way overdue. I scouted this unit for years with friends and finally got drawn for the late rifle hunt this year after a very long wait, wasting valuable points. In the last 5 years or so I noticed a decline in both numbers and quality. Perhaps this measure would help bring the unit back to it's glory.

Bow is up on eBay now. Feel free to bid, if a member is the winner and would like to meet and pick up I won't charge shipping. eBay item number 221966115023

No takers for this almost brand new bow? I'm open to reasonable offers.

Awesome !

$550 Looks like i double posted or something.

And here is the final write up. Arrived at unit on Wednesday, set up the light camp before my buddy Scott brought his wall tent. Went out glassing for late light at one of the promising spots I have found. Only a young bull and a very young cow walked by, still, spirits up, looking forward. Very cold night and the little tent was not such a good idea. After dinner and a glass of Scotch (to keep me warm of course), I hit the sack. Up at 5:00 AM, light breakfast, strong coffee aand off to another glassing spot. No action none whatsoever. Back to camp around noon. Texting back and forth with Scott, I'm glad he's on his way. 3:00 PM another message from Scott, he's lost. Cell service is good at the camp site but spotty where he's at. After a frustrating 45 minutes of jumbled talks and messages, I have an idea where he's at, I tell him to stop and I'm on the road to find him. 4:30 PM, we are back at the camp. Setting up the wall tent and the wood burning stove goes without a hitch. Clouds moving in, is that hail I hear outside ? Light hail turns in to even lighter snow, nothing to worry about though. Time for the late sit at location #3. Nothing but a few donkeys. Time to get back to camp for dinner. Ahh the comfort of a wall tent and a stove. Opening morning. Good breakfast, strong coffee. We're off with plenty of enthusiasm and hope. At the spot before sunrise, we're glassing 100 yards apart from eachother, covering almost 210 degrees. 2 hours in, first sign of trouble. Roadhunters in a brand spanking new black Ram 1500 with Minnesota plates, they dont see us, we see and hear them loud and clear. Angry and disappointed we head back to camp a few hours later. Lunch and restratigizing, we will go to the spot #2. Well that turns out to be an exercise in futility. Day 2, repeat of day 1. Andy messages to let us know that he's on his way. As it became the norm, I drive down from the camp to meet him on FR7. Finally all three members of the hunting party are back together. Day 3 Light breakfast, heavy coffee, good attitude and high hopes. We have a three pronged approach planned for the day. Andy and I are heading up to the most remote and promissing spot we have plotted, kinda like a spot you'd hate to drag an elk from while Scott is gonna cover another spot 2 miles away. Radio check, we're in good shape. Andy spots a bedded elk, adrenaline level peaks. I move to his location to verify. Looks small, under a tree, i range it at 664 yds. I circle around to get a better view. It's a cow. Not disappointed, hoping she has a boyfriend or a male relative around. Nope, we named her the EmoCow. She sat there all by herself the whole day, must be a depressed loner. Back to camp. Next morning, after the early sit Andy had to go back. Every day was the repeat of the day before. With one exception, woke up at 3:30 AM freezing. First i thought Scott forgot to put logs in the stove but my burning eyes told a different story. The juniper we were burning has clogged up the spark arrestor of the chimney. Knocking it off with a broom stick solved the problem. Carbon monoxide and smoke inhalation is not a good idea. I was disappointed, mad, slightly disheartened. On the first of December we broke camp after the early sit and left the place as if we were never there. On the drive back i saw movement to my left. Stopped the truck, jumped out and put a bead on it. Good size muley, if I had a muley tag, I'd shoot it without hesitation. I spent the night with my son who was my scouting partner for the hunt and was asking me how come i didn't get him one of the many bulls we have spotted together. Try explaining it to a three and a half year old. Nest morning I dropped him off at his mom's and headed back to the unit. Not a single bull. Just a bunch of donkeys. Stayed till last light and drove back home. It wasn't my year to get an elk. Yesterday i was talking to a friend who's son is there with a cow tag. All he sees are bulls. Exactly where I was !!!

After trying for over a decade I finally drew the 10 Bull/Late Rifle. Did my homework, pounded the ground almost every other week, saw a lot of potential shooters. Planned everything with a friend who, successfully hunted the same unit a bunch of times, he was gonna go with me but a family emergency forced him to go back East last Thursday, he wont be back for a month. It seems like it's gonna be a solo hunt for me. Here is the kicker, last Friday I went back to 10. There was snow on the ground and the shooters I've seen were nowhere to be seen. What do I do now ? Scrap the old plan and start from scratch or stick to the plan ? Frustrated ? Yes I am.

I can give locations of a few muleys that crossed my path and almost gave me a heart attack during my bull hunt.

I think I saw that truck on FR6. Did you find the bulls that eluded me ?

You can have this for $40.

Made it to the unit 2 days in advance. Set up camp, went glassing. A few potential shooters spotted. Scott showed up with wall tent and much needed wood burning stove, it was 19 degrees and scattered fleuries. Opening morning was a circus.From walkers to drivers, you name it we had it. If that wasn't a sign of things to come... We moved to our rather remote plan B location. We were alone but there were no shooters. Day 2, Andy arrived to camp. After restrategizing over the map and gps location I have previously plotted, we started very early and took our 120 degree coverage location. All day of glassing and monitoring the radio chatter, we saw one cow, we called her the emo-cow, she was all alone. I stalked to within 50 yards of her, not another elk in vicinity. Next day was a repeat. We left yesterday evening after the late sit. Other than one that crossed the road 75 yards in front of my truck at full tilt boogie, didn't have a shot at anything. I still have 5days to do day trips and push my luck.

Ha! I'm less disappointed after today's trip. Just got home from the unit, less pessimistic. Fingers and toes crossed.

Good luck. I'm on the same boat but for late rifle. Lot of scouting, just to get hood winked by the weather. Plan A is most likely out the window, Plan B will be the starting point. Since I'm also going to be hunting solo, I pray Plans C and D won't be needed.

Very true !

Is it still available?

Got hit $135 ! Finally !!!!!

Got hit $135. First time since Clinton was president. I guess this year I'm not going to WY.

I have a 1978 Gold Trigger 30-30 Marlin 336 with ramp rear and ghost ring front sight for sale. It has a rail on top but no scope. Wood has some scratches but no cracks and it's kinda fancy. Not the run-of-the-mill lumber furniture. Not beat up or heavily used, I had it for the last 20 years and bought it from the original owner. I'm asking $450 on Backpage but CWT Members' Special is $425. I'll post some pictures when I get home.

It's a Kelty Kids. I bought it from a board member a few months back since his kid outgrew it. Very roomy, very adjustable and has plenty of storage room. All the info can be found here http://www.kelty.com/c-kids.aspx?subcategory=child-carriers|kids-backpacks&cid=kelty-PS-keltybackpakcs-06162010&gclid=CLDgzsaPrroCFe01Qgod9g4A7w

You bet. Gotta get them started early. He LOVES getting out pounding the desert for birds, wabbits and scouting with daddy. He's a true trooper, not a peep when I slow down to stalk a covey, hears the birds before I do and he's not gun shy at all. I think I cloned myself. As a matter of fact, the O/U I'm hunting with is his gun, he lets me borrow it.
