Helinox Chair for Glassing?
Red Rabbit replied to Red Rabbit's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
I have tried a couple of Crazy Creek "chairs" in hopes of finding some back support. I went back to just a foam pad and occasionally lean back to stretch out. With this Helinox chair, I wonder if leaning slightly forward is comfortably doable. Perhaps a trip to granola REI to test is in order. Thank y'all for your responses. -
These ought to be great for long range shooters/hunters to spot their hits. Gotta get ya sum.

Whats the longest youve left an Elk in the field
Red Rabbit replied to trphyhntr's topic in Elk Hunting
The longest has been about an hour before tracking and photos were finished before field dressing commenced. Get the hide and guts removed asap, or do a gutless method. If mounting, be sure to get ALL of the neck meat out and the hide off to the jaw ASAP if you cannot cape yourself. -
Two-toed sloth? Might be time to put up a trail camera

https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/coconino/news-events/?cid=FSEPRD547173 NO CAMPFIRES. PERIOD. Coconino NF entered stage 2 restrictions today. No campfires or charcoal even in developed campgrounds. No chainsaws, No target shooting. There were over 30 abandoned campfires last weekend, one of which started a small fire on the Peaks. Campfires were illegal last weekend in dispersed campsites. Fuggin idjuts.

Good price on a nice build. I just bought a 28 Nosler last fall. Bump to top.

Red Rabbit replied to Younghunter's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
For elk this year, draw results were posted 11 days after the last date to updates cards. For deer, the last date to update cards is July 6. -

Nice sized trout in pretty country. You've done spoiled your son

"After this age threshold, female elk become almost bulletproof, virtually invulnerable to hunting." Guess there will be no worries now about shooting the tough old lead cow

Has anyone tried these from Rudolph? http://www.opticsplanet.com/rudolph-optics-gear-quad-shooting-sticks.html I just got a set of the short version but they have not been out of the living room yet. With support front and rear, they seem steadier than bipods or cross sticks. Easy to adjust height. Windage would be adjusted by moving one of the bottom sides forward or back on the ground. As soon as this 40mph wind quits, it will be time to shoot.

Let's narrow this 6.5 chamber down (help)
Red Rabbit replied to Zeke-BE's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I like the looks and longer neck of that SLR. If you are looking for reduced recoil, what about a 6 CM or 6mm SLR ? -
I also agree with Lance about a lower power. I would also choose a less busy, bolder/thicker reticle.

I had a $100 Cabelas brand 22 rimfire scope but the wire crosshairs broke within 100 shots from my 10/22. I picked up a Tract Optics 22 scope but have only sighted it in. You might also look at air rifle scopes with an adjustable parallax. https://www.tractoptics.com/products/riflescopes?type=47

There is an RV park on the northeast end of Tusayan by the roundabout. I cannot recall the name.

For coues and desert muleys, I have used Leica Duovids 10+15x50 (less weight and space than 2 binos). On my last December hunt, I was always wanting to use my friend's spotting scope for those far away deer, so have since picked up a 65mm Razor. For elk and mule deer in the pines, I would suggest a nice 8x42 for the wider field of view over 10x.
