Really wish this was in the 6.5 variety. Great rifles

I have the same cooler. It's an awesome piece of equipment. Has bull elk hind quarters in it right now

Just got off big lake in a blizzard. 25° and blowing snow. 3 of us caught 10 trout from 17-20". Stringer is over 20lbs. Winter is definitely here

Just got back from a very successful mule deer hunt. Helped a group take 3 mature bucks in 3 days. Anyways, it seems like every single hunter you talk to has a rifle that they deem "good to a thousand". is anyone else running into this? i heard more shooting in 3 days than i have in the past 3 years. NOBODY would try to get close animals. the country we were hunting is big and most of the canyons are 6-800 yards across. people drive down the road, hop out of their side by side and proceed to empty their gun. bucks running at 800 yards and still flinging lead. i glassed a nice buck that had been hit by someone after our group was all tagged out so i flagged down a hunter and asked him if he would like to shoot it. The buck was i think 1068 yards away and would have been very easy to close the gap and shoot him at 2-300 yards. the hunter looked at the buck and ranged it and said " i only have hold overs to a thousand" "if he was 60 yards closer i could kill him"...shocking to say the least. what happened to getting as close as possible? I've made my fair share of far shots, but only after still getting as close as possible. i must have talked to 10 different people that have rifles that are "good to a thousand". My brother made a nice comparison to all these people. "It's like buying a pair of Michael Jordan's shoes and expecting to slam dunk a basketball". Maddening to say the least. I had a few words for the man that refused to stalk in and kill the wounded buck.

My dad got one recently (full shoulder replacement). G&F website has a document you print off and take to your doctor or chiropractor to fill out. Take the completed form to G&F office and they'll cut you a crossbow permit right there. Pretty easy process

Looks like a 200lb deer? Congrats. Is that possibly a hybrid? Looks like his g2 on the left has a muley fork too? Either way, awesome buck -
If you just want a cheap AR, they are as inexpensive to buy assembled as building it yourself. That being said, you can build a top of the line AR for a lot less than buying a pre assembled one. A few months ago i built a sweet AR for about $700 (minus optics). Look at AXC tactical in north mesa. They had better prices and more selection than anyone. Here is the one i built

My parents have about an acre apple/pear orchard at their ranch. On good apple years, it has a steady stream of bears, javelinas, deer, foxes, skunks, everything. in the winter when food is scarce javlelinas swarm the alfalfa that is thrown out to the horses. Can't harldy run them off. Hypothetical question, this is private property so it probably doesn't matter regardless but could a person legally hunt over apples that have naturally fallen to the ground? pretty much the same thing as shooting a deer on a corn or alfalfa field i would think.

I prefer Ross. That being said i recently bought a Halon 6 from Archery Headquarters. I am not a Mathews guy and shot every single new bow and the Halon was my favorite by far

Bump for under rated glass. I, and most people that have used these agree that these are better than the non HD swaros, both the old olive green ones and the NEU version. They are second only to the new swaro HD's.

Yeah.....not poaching. Just speculation, but i really doubt the perp is just going to "come clean" on this forum.

Man. Can't believe my topic is still goin. Gotta be my new record. It was originally started for people that have no business shooting 200 yards, much less 1000. I am a long range shooter. Guilty. I practice a lot and am very confident at long ranges. It just bothers me that every Tom, Dick and Harry thinks they are Chris Kyle nowadays. This thread wasn't to bash those that truly are proficient killers at long distances, but to see if people are seeing a trend now where everybody thinks they are proficient killers at 1,000 yards. If i can gain an edge using trail cams, long range rifles and big optics, i am going to until law prevents me from doing so. Just wish more people would put in as much time and effort as some of do to practice and make consistent, clean kills.

Overheard a guy at work tell someone he could shoot a dime at 300 yards....with his bow......and that he pulled 175lbs.......and his daughter shot a bow also and was outgrowing her 100lb bow. Total D-Bag.

Teton line is pretty good especially the pants softshell jacket and puffy. pants and softshell are really durable. The puffy is not, but it's made to be light and warm, which it is

A good buddy of mine has been with me on most of my kills the last few years. Was with me when i killed my biggest buck, my only bear and answered his phone at midnight a few years ago and was in camp before sun up the next morning with a pack string to haul out my biggest bull. He's been with my on all of my crazy, lat minute expeditions and always willing to lend some labor any time it's needed. The Arizona draw system hasn't done him any favors so we decided this year to get him a coues tag and at least get out there and hunt. i wasn't able to hunt opening day, but was there friday night and we discussed a plan. Saturday was eventful but couldn't quite make it happen on a decent 3x3. Next morning we were back at it again. Glassed this buck first thing in the morning and through many frustrating hours of ups and downs we were able to get him knocked down. He' a great buck, killed in one of our favorite spots. This buck would be great in any unit in my book but the older and more experienced i get, i would rather kill a buck in a place that is special to me than a big buck in a random area. I only hunted 2 days, but those 2 days were grueling. Rolling out of bed this morning felt like i went 5 rounds in a UFC fight. Totally worth it.

I'm a crab guy 100%. The shrimp is where it's at at the angry crab though. Most bang for your buck. I ate 3 pounds of them last time i was there with trifecta hot. My kulo was hating me the next day though
