I ordered some Norma brass from midway today. thanks

If I happen across a few good ones after the early hunts I'll let you know. I live in the area and I'm out looking regular.

Willie, so far no one has condemned the .223. Of course there are better options and the original poster know that. The best option for his kids hunt is, at the moment, a .223. And so far no argument has been made about it. If it were my only option I would use it in a heart beat. Yes the heavier, more solid bullet (as mentioned) will be best.

good points and what you say should not be overlooked. The potential is there with almost all rounds to be tracking a wounded animal. A good shot with a 338 at 250 yards is the same as a good shot with a 223 at 250. Don't try to push an uncomfortable shot and it should work out good.

I have some 90 grain vld's if you reload, just bullets but I'd give them to you if you want.

only glanced at midway, no out of stock that I saw but I only glanced. I'd be willing to buy some off someone if they had it.

+1

That's what I'm thinking. I'm not sure if this rifle is capable of better or not. It's bone stock but must of been assembled on a Tuesday lol. Just curious if fancy brass would yield better results?

I looked for almost a year for one like tha. Ended up with an 06 extended cab, the "extra stuff" piles up lol. His should sell quick

A fifteen pointer, biggest I've seen here yet!

Have you ever built a wall hanging cast iron rack for inside the kitchen?

that is why i never lived in the city. That and sometimes you just gotta pee outside bahahahaha I tried to "like" your post twice but couldn't. Even in the city I pee'd outside, dug a pit in the front yard, and had a wood pile. The apartment complex next to my rented house hated it! One time I was skinning a bobcat on my tailgate (right next to the main road/side walk) got a lot of death stares for that, especially while skinning the head.

exactly! thats why i dont do side jobs or work for a place that has "customers" no thanks. i hope you get your truck fixed. you wouldnt believe how many times you fix one thing and something else pops up. i used to think the odds were impossible but i learned. not saying that they arent trying to screw you, its possible. if youre gonna have work done take it to a place that has a good rep and that has experience with your vehicle. price should never be the main deciding factor IMO. I know what you mean about side work!! I only do side jobs on the stuff I know won't break any extra parts, or for friends that if stuff breaks they know the drill. And I agree 1000%!!!! That cost should not be the deciding factor! Shop rate is usually dictated by experience, the correct tools for the job, and insurance. Plus a few other things of course

I almost broke down and bought one that was traded in at work. Reason I didn't was it was heavily modified and had extremely I hate everyone wake the dead HEY I'm COMING!!! Exhaust.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ all of this = the 2nd reason I left the city and commute daily.

My dog did that once. I shot him right there in the living room!! Wife was pissed she had to clean it up but we ate good that night.

In my line of work its rare to see a happy customer. People don't like bringing their vehicles in for regular service and if their vehicle is broke down or acting up, we are the devil out to get them!! Yes it costs money if you can't do it yourself. We have book times and standard labor rates. We have to make a living too. For the most part they aren't out to get you. 7 out of ten times when something happens like it did to you, it's just coincidence, replace one part another fails, and so on. Most of us feel like crap when that happens because we know the customer will think we're trying to pull a fast one and screw them, but it honestly happens that way more than people care to think. The other 3 times, you actually getting screwed!! And it gives all of us a bad name. Like mentioned earlier, talk to the main boss/owner. In my experience if you complain enough (even if it's not our fault) you'll get it free or cheap.

Nice video and bull!! I'm curious, was the meat spoiled by the time you got to it? Only reason I ask is because at the end of the video there was the head on the pack but the other guys had no meat from what it looked like? Or was it just the last thing packed out

Awesome! Lol

Awesome sheds, the "wall of shame" can't be overlooked. Are those all unfilled tags?

Inu early twenties my folks were scared to death that I was gonna go live in the woods for good! No cell phone, I'd call my mom once a week from a pay phone at circle k in Tucson. Growing up in a small town, the city messes with your head lol. I almost went hermit a few times til I could afford to buy my place out in the sticks. Everyday when I commute home from Tucson, I feel like I'm camping on the desert.

Gosh!!!

My dad took the a molar from his elk and plated it, put it on a gold chain necklace for my sister. Would work with a bear too.

Sorry about your lost bull. It stings but at least your ethics took over and you looked for it. Good job!!

So you all never wash it???? Gross! Jk. I pick them yearly, torch the stickers off, cut in half and use a spoon to get the "meat" out. Yields less juice but comes out clear. I like Amanda and her hubby's way better though. I just gotta pave my driveway now.
