10Turkeys

Deputy sheriff Billy Breakenridge reported seeing Johnny Ringo drunk before he was dead, and tried to talk him into riding along with him, which Ringo refused. Breakenridge later ran into Leslie on the same trail. When Leslie plugged Billy Claiborne outside the Oriental, Claiborne refused medical treatment so he could make a statement how Leslie killed his friend Ringo. In my original post I had Luke Short killing Claiborne, but it was indeed Leslie. Luke Short shot Charlie Storms at the Oriental. My appolagies.

According to the movie. My money is on Buckskin Frank Leslie.

What was your run out, before you corrected it?

Superman was faster than a speeding bullet, stronger than a locomotive, could get Lois Lane, he just couldn't sit a horse.

I have owned about 4 of each, both have excellent out of the box accuracy. At least they did have. The only thing that I would worry about in a Savage, is how many employees that ATK laid off after they acuired Savage. I would have to guess that there had to have been some quality let go in there somewhere.

One cartridge that you don't hear to much about anymore that would make a good starter is the .257 Roberts, to light for elk, but would be excellent for Deer and Javelina and antelope. I had one and it was a little light for what I wanted it for, so it was quickly rebarreled to 6.5x55.

Ditto here. 19 and 22 and 26 If I could get some 26 is a different story.

Seen the most in 36B.

He probably was a yuppie fly guy, but he didn't try to take a selfie with the bull.

This one just came into the yard. Had two little velvet spikes. Left of Palo Verde.

The way it was explained to me that the country Mexicans called a Mule Deer a Burras and a Whitetail a Venado.

If you get your rifle shooting off a bench where you want it, and then practice every shot that you might take in the field with a distance that your comfortable with, if nothing else it will up your chances IMHO. If you check out Big Browns story about his Antelope, he stated that he practiced for 4 months and had never shot better in his life, and Mr. Lance Kenyon has stated that he donates 7 bucks at Ben Avery every week. Maybe they were just lucky on their hunts, but I think not.

I've came home at midnight and 2 AM and have seen Javelina on the water, in the daytime it's usually Quail, Rabbits, Coyotes, and ever now and then a Bobcat.

A thirsty one!

My buds Remington 700 and my Ruger 77 do the same thing. I don't shoot my Ruger that much and neither does he, so we just end up getting new brass.

I met him a couple of times, he told me one time he shot a Coyote and picked it up by it's hind legs and was taking it back to his truck, he said that Coyote kept getting lighter and lighter and Del looked down and the Coyote was still alive walking on his front feet.

What kind of brass are you using? When you seat the primer on the third firing, how tight is it?

Last time I was in Randalls there was an old trophy there from a calling contest, don't know if it's still there or not. One of the names that was on it was Del Western, the horse shoeing school guy.

He had a store on Main St. In Mesa also.

Is it right by that Mule and the Paint?

In the 70's the Chandler Arizonian used to have an outdoor article in it every now and then. The last I remember anything in the Phx paper was from Bob Hirsch, that was probably 20 years ago. I do remember in the 80's there was a full page ad for a pigeon shoot, wouldn't see that anymore.

I'm certainly not a world traveller with a firearm, but I've flown a few times, but it's been a few years, so maybe a few things have changed. When you check your luggage in, tell them you have a gun, most airline employees will see the case a mile away, you will have to fill out a form stating it isn't loaded, and a copy has to go inside the case, and the bolt has to be out of the gun. I keep my bolt in a plastic bag to keep any grease off the inside of the gun case. Then you go to a TSA agent, some places swab the outside of the case and some want to see inside the case. Like Paleo said above upon arrival your gun should go to the baggage office, but about 50% of the time mine came off with the luggage, so it's probably a good idea to have your case marked. I've used a key lock and a combo lock without any problems. One last thing, I would get a decent case for your gun, there are a lot of gun haters out there!

During Dove season the 7-11 on Ivanhoe and Arizona Ave used to sell them there.

You would be surprised.
