Sorry Bullwinkle. I usually agree with what you say, but wilderness areas are bad? I spend more time in 27 and the blue wilderness than most and could not disagree more. The west side of the highway=roads and hunters everywhere. east side=no roads, very few hunters, HUGE tracts of untouched land

Burris makes good m77 adapter. I have them with burris zee rings on my M77

it looks like a healthy female. most likely 100-110 lbs. lions are really deceiving.

there is a leupold VX3 for sale in the classifieds on this site that is a much better scope than the vortex you mentioned for about the same price.

As far as i know, there aren't many G&F rules you could break that would get you an $8000 fine. I'm guessing he hired a high dollar attorney and got the charges turned into a healthy fine so he could avoid losing his license. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you lose your license in AZ, you lose it in most western states as well? This would have potentially put him "out of business". He did something very wrong, but weasel'd his way out of it somehow.

hard to say. 360 conservatively. that's a really big bull

Stevie wonder would have as good of a chance as the rest of us at scoring the bull in that picture

Once again we get to hear from str8. Who's side are you on? Hunting, or Anti? I'm beginning to think you are a bleeding heart just trolling this site. I bet i know your next comment. It will have something to do with a law or rule that was broken. Blah blah blah

i think that might be the same dairy i used to shoot pigeons off of. i guess they had a deal worked out with G&F and local police where it was ok blasting shotguns right in the middle of town. they did these because that many pigeons do a lot of damage on the feed. a couple times we literally killed a truckload of pigeons. 500-1000 birds if i had to guess. each man would go through at least 250 shells in a day. it always felt like we were doing something illegal until you got 50 or so rounds down the tube and realized that the police were not going to show up.

reloading or no?

i was reluctant to say anything about my thoughts on the grey light podcast. glad i'm not the only one who thinks this way

+1 for the xtreme hardcore gear rings. you pay for them though. and i hate the name. haha

These podcasts are great. they have definitely pulled me away from listening to the radio. could have done without the one with the Gray Light guy though. little too arrogant for my taste

You don't get why people won't share what unit? Lol. I hate it when people share units

Me must be 60" inside. Pic must be deceiving

It must get old being such a holier than though, by the book lunatic. You would write yoursef a ticket for speeding if it was possible. No matter how much you preach the law around on here, i doubt you'll be recruited off this forum to become a G&F officer or some other type of LEO. Don't you have some "cops" re-runs to watch and touch yourself to?

30+ Cameras...holy crap...you must spend a lot of time going out and swapping SD cards and batteries. How many do you have out in the field right now? I know who to go to for tips on cameras Thanks!I usually only run around 5-7 at any time. It would be a full time job running any more than that! I usually only get about 2-3 years out of cameras before they crap out or get eaten by a bear. Never had one stolen though.

Yeah, that's where it was at. I hunted it probably 5-6 years ago and it was rifle, any elk. I think it was the first year G&F offered an OTC elk hunt and the area was pretty busy. Could have killed a couple cows, but opted against it

Just couldn't respond without getting ethics involved eh? Big fast bullets cause lots of shock and trauma. I've killed around 10 coues, most with a plain old .270, shot a couple with a .264. Wasn't trying to get in an argument here, just making a point. .243 does a fine job of killing any deer out there, but I have seen a couple that were hit by a .243 that got away, whereas a larger, faster projectile would have put that animal down.

I don't hear a whole lot of whining out of everyone? I hear one person indirectly accusing trail cam users of deforestation by trimming a branch or putting a screw in a tree. LOL... Every Year there is a slew of whining over taken cams ( wont call them stolen since you can not steal abandoned property ) and the fact remains the laws I speak of exist and I do not make them... You know even the worst criminals try to justify their actions in the same way a guy driving lag bolts into a live tree does .. Sorry I do not see much difference... no matter how petty of an act you may think it is. The talk about cameras disappearing is getting redundant after so many pathetic posts year after year... I honestly do not care, and hate to break it to you ... Like I said Karma comes and goes both ways .. keep justifying however you want , but IMO you should keep your rants, whining and complaining to yourself. You should do everyone a favor and keep to yourself. Any time a post "peaks your interest" you pull out the rule book. We have enough police in this world, the internet in not in need of another one. All that flows out of your mouth is negativity and accusations.

I hunted one of the 4b otc hunts a few years back. Very few elk, but still had fun. Could have killed a couple cows. Tracking elk in that area is pretty easy, as the ground is very soft and sandy

Not sure I agree with this statement. Poor shot placement is poor shot placement regardless of the caliber used. There is more that comes into play than just cartridge size when a poor shot is made. Bullet construction and performance has just as much to do with it than anything. The .300WSM may deliver more energy at point of impact but depending on shot location and the bullet used it may deliver most of that energy into the dirt behind the animal rather than into it. Take for example gut shooting a deer with a 300wm at 400 yards with a solid bullet that pokes straight through and making that same shot with a .243 using a bullet like the Berger vld that fragments and dumps energy and shrapnel into the guts and surrounding organs and tissue. Chances are the deer will die either way but how quickly and humanely may very considerably. Im not saying one bullet or cartridge is better than the other I am just simply saying there is more to consider than .065" of bullet diameter. Gut shoot a deer with a .243 and then do the same with a .338 lapua and tell me it doesn't make a difference. Without getting "ethics" involved. Everyone has made a poor shot at one time or another in their life. A big gun might waste some meat, but it's a lot less wasted meat than if the animal gets away

I don't hear a whole lot of whining out of everyone? I hear one person indirectly accusing trail cam users of deforestation by trimming a branch or putting a screw in a tree.

If it's no fun to shoot because of recoil, why not just have a muzzlebreak installed. I am a firm believer in using one rifle for all big game hunting. It is fun to have options, but i like having a good "go to" for all big game. .243's are fine, but a not so good hit on an animal with a 300wsm as compared to a .243, will make it a more fatal shot.

Lets hear what everyone wants to know. Have you shot any animals with it, and what was the aftermath? Haha
