I have one with 280K, it's pretty much my weekend warrior and still runs like a raped ape....needs a little cosmetic face lift though. You have a very nice truck!

Guess I should have been more clear. I was suggesting to just find targets. But lots of guys practice shooting rocks. I hear Steven Renella has a good recipe for rabbits.

Anyone been glassing in the past few days in central units for bears? 22S, 24B, 21...........Just wondering if this moisture and a little cooler temperatures has gotten the bears to move onto some of the pears.

Brendon, I was thinking about a few things that new hunters often over look. There is one thing in particular that is common, and this is finding game in a scope when its "Go Time". I remember the first deer I killed, it was a mule deer at about 300 yards. I had buck fever so bad I couldn't get really comfortable shooting prone off a rock, had a hard time getting settled in with the scope etc....... it ended up working out with a one shot kill but it could have been smoother. Since then I have worked a lot on my trigger pull, shooting ability and finding the target quickly. Over time it will become second nature. If you practice this will have one less thing to worry about. You can practice when out at the range or if you are out hiking and scouting and have a rifle with you. Pick out a specific rock or cactus with the naked eye then get rested on a rock tree etc...... and practice finding your target. Obviously keep your scope dialed in at a lower setting then when your on your target zoom in. Remember be SAFE about this. Make sure your not aiming towards hiking trails, roads, campgrounds etc...Don't have rounds in the chamber or gun if your not ready to shoot. Make sure the adult you are with is on board with what you are doing as well. Good Luck!

If you have time or access to download podcast, get podbean and listen to the Jay Scott podcasts. You can scroll through all the episodes and listen to the ones that interest you. He did some last fall on early season Coues hunts that are loaded with valuable information on glassing gear and when and where to look. The Gritty Bowman is another good one to get information on gear etc. Good Luck this fall!

I figure I owe it to this thread to give it an updated tally. Lots of nice rifles out there! 14 270 12 6.5 10 7MM 10 300WM 9 243 9 257WBY 7 270WSM 6 338 4 300RUM 5 280 3 25-06 3 30-06 2 308 1 7MM WSM 1 260 1 22-250 1 7-08 1 7STW 1 264WM 1 300WSM 1 6MM

I agree with the Dirtbag! Give him a couple years.......... Especially if he's in 22 or 24b.

Wow..... They are proud of their product. I'd support Kuiu or another hunting company before I'd spend that kind of $$ on a lightweight tent.

Where are you located?

Nacho is up for sale. 8 year old bay gelding. Not a big horse but he's a good one. I have used him on several pack trips, including packing out a bear last fall. He can be ridden by kids with riding experience. No Kick, Buck. Shoes and leads great. Call with questions 602-292-9264. $800

Thanks for all the intrest guys! Keep your eyes pealed this fall for Nacho in the hills around Globe, cuz Nacho has a new home with a CW member! He's SOLD. JS

I'd trade. Let me know what you got. Things I would be interested in are, Guns, Yeti, Generator, Optics, Packs, Archery Equipment.....No junk please!

Smoken deal!

Listen to the Jay Scott podcasts on Coues Deer. I think there are about a dozen episodes that are loaded with information on Coues.

Nice Find! I found a couple yesterday in unit 10! I think its a match crazy looking bull if it is. Sheds were about 100 yards apart, mass is close to the same.

+1 for marathon! Expensive and there is a wait to get the seat covers but they are awesome!

Looks like a lot of Coues hunters are building 6.5 rifles. Can some one educate us on the benefits of this round?

Does anyone have a Tikka T3 lite in 270 wsm? Or 270? I'm considering getting one and am curious how hunters like them? Pros / Cons? Effective range for Coues? Etc.....

Pretty good line up so far! I'm actually a but surprised that there aren't more 270 and 270 WSM on the list. 6 300 WM 4 243 4 6.5 3 300 RUM 3 7MM 3 257WBY 3 280 2 270 WSM 2 270 2 280 2 338 2 25-06 1 7MM WSM 1 260 1 22-250 1 7-08 1 7STW

What's the score?

I have a small 8 year old gelding. He's good for experienced kids to ride or as a pack horse. Up for a trade?

93 3/4". Do you know who did that mount?
