I was able to draw a third season deer tag, first tag I have drawn all year.

To fit your budget I would look at the kimber hunter line of rifles. Not the prettiest looking thing but they are light. I have one in 280AI with a Swaro Z3 3-10x42 with talley one piece rings. Rifle weighs 6 lbs 3 oz unloaded. If you went with a short action you could save some more weight. That rifles shoots 143 hammer bullets in a 3/4" group at 100. Rifle might shoot better but I am not the best at shooting a lightweight rifle. I am into that setup for just over 1200 bucks.

Midway's pricing is ridiculous. 48.99 a box. I picked up 4 boxes for 36.69 on Monday. Keep on eye out on https://store.thirdgenerationshootingsupply.com/ I have been able to pick up powder and bullets from them at normal prices.

I sold my .05 shares at .40 cents. Wish I had bought more in January instead of AMC haha.

New Mexico results are out. Nothing for me.

Interested in some 140, 147 eldm

I had a remington UML and I couldnt get it to shoot worth a dang. I think it was just the luck of the draw, as recurveman stated and have others, the uml can be accurate out of the box. I sent off my uml to Luke at Arrowhead Rifle,(now in phx) and had him rebarrel with a brux barrel and his ignition system. I am shooting sub moa groups at 100 and smashing rocks at 600 yards with BH209 with this set up. Luke's bullets have good bc for muzzle loader bullets but the wind still affects them more then most bullets. I would recommend a muzzlebreak, the recoil can be stiff with healthy dose if bh209 and 300 grain bullets. I just looked up the asking price for the paramounts and I think you would be better off finding a cheap donor SA 700 and having arrowhead spin on a new barrel and ignition system.

That's the best way to use a Javelina in my opinion. I debone the rear quarters after removing the shanks and brine them for a couple of days. I smoke them to 145 and they always turn out great. I also make pastrami out of the backstraps and that turns out pretty good as well.

That's pretty much how I got into it. I just figured out where ponds are with water and figured out a route. Ducks are really skittish this year along with many ponds being dry. If you don't have a dog like myself I always bring a fishing pole. Wading into cow ponds in the winter sucks.

Ouch. A local store had them for 65 dollars and I thought that was steep.

Sold

The 13 dollars you were charged as an application fee. 38 is the total price of the tag including the application fee. AZGF just take the remaining balance if you get drawn.

Bump

I will be in the Tucson area in November if some one prefers a ftf sale.

Lets do 1725, October hunts are just around the corner.
