Confidence building in teens, what have you done?
Smith2260 replied to CatfishKev's topic in The Campfire
A mentor or someone to look up to has been huge for my high schoolers. Whether it’s a coach, teacher, pastor or neighbor rancher. My wife and I do a ton with and for our kids, but we are still “Mom and Dad”. My buddy says the exact same thing I do to my son and he takes it as gold. My daughters Coach gives her the same advise I do and she listens. Either way, our goal has been to love them and provide discipline at home. And to find a way to put great people in their life for them to reach to be one day. I would brainstorm with your wife and daughter and find a strong young woman that is just a few years older than your daughter. Maybe a young coach she knows or a young adult from church. Maybe early college or a senior in high school that can have coffee or go for a hike on a trail. That young woman has likely been in your daughters shoes very recently and understands social media and bullying in today’s world that we did not have 20 years ago. You may never know the conversation that takes place but you will get a feel for how it went when she gets home and the days that follow. -

A couple years ago my then 14 year old son wanted to kill a pig with his revolver. Made me proud how much he shot before the hunt and somehow managed to shoot the smallest pig in the herd.

Anyone looking to sell a freezer or know of a good contact for a new one? Located in Queen Creek. Preferably a chest freezer but a stand up will work. Thanks for looking. Bobby 480-220-6501

My kids have outgrown this bow. It is a Browning Micro Midas 3. It has a large range of draw weight and draw length. But I cant find any markings on the bow with what the ranges are. I attached a picture of the specs. Comes with whisker biscuit rest. Peep. Quiver and 3 arrows. I live in Queen Creek and work in Mesa. $100 Bobby 480-220-6501

WTB follower spring for remington 700 300wsm short action
Smith2260 posted a topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I wasnt sure where to put this. But I am hoping someone here has a mag follower spring I can buy. For a Remington 700 300wsm. Short action. This is the flat spring that pushes the bullets up into the action. I was planning to go hunt this weekend but I was having feed issues. Found this cracked spring. Thanks for looking.

Delorme inReach Explorer satellite tracker SOS unit
Smith2260 replied to dpr64's topic in Classified Ads
It is charged from a cord only. No batteries. But I have a battery pack for my phone anyways, so I just keep the charging cord in the pouch with the Inreach. I used it on a couple wilderness hunts last year. I kept it turned off except to check in every evening. After a month it was still above 90% without charging it. Worth every penny! -

I agree. Bought one last year. Best purchase Ive made in awhile. Good luck with sale. -
Trophyhunter- sorry to hijack your thread. To answer your question, my understanding was that you can shoot from the vehicle. We planned on my Dad shooting from the Ranger, but for his buck he laid prone about 50 yards from the Ranger to shoot 250 yards across a little cut, which took forever for my Dad to get comfortable as the buck laid in his bed. Then I found an old two track road and cleared brush and he drove all the way to his buck.

It was a perfect hunt for my Dad. He has shot dozens of deer and elk, but he has always been a meat hunter. This was the first time he ever passed on a buck, and he passed 52!! Born and raised in AZ and had never had a Kaibab tag. Construction took its toll on his body and he became camp cook for a few years until he put in for the Champ hunts. This is his once in a lifetime buck!!!! He also killed his best bull elk on a Champ hunt last year!

My Dad had it last year. We had a blast. He shot the 53rd buck we saw. Mostly glassing from the Ranger because he can only walk about 50 yards. I will post a pic later. SCI official 214 4/8.

I checked midway. Looks like they carry everything except the one I need. They dont carry the wsm follower or follower spring. Where else can I look to order one? -
My kids loved the single shot 20g they used when they were little. It was way lighter than an 870 and easy for me to see if it was loaded or not. My daughter was a small 10 year old, so the lighter single shot was perfect. But, yes it kicks more. Now they both shoot 12g 870s as teenagers.

Garmin Inreach. Very easy to set up and use.
