my personal favorite is the white tail pic you sneeked in there to see if anyone would notice.

LAST EDITED ON Aug-25-11 AT 01:18PM (MST)[p]Simple question for you to contemplate. How much would a General season Rifle deer tag for the Southern Utah Unit be worth to you. Hypothetically, realizing that you did not draw a deer tag of any nature in the general draw and you had to make your...

The buck of justice came from near the 50 mile mtn, but not from the 50 mile mtn itself. There are only a handful of people that know where he was taken from exactly and it would have been a sheep hunter that found him if you follow my drift. The Escalante tag would be right.

Longshooter I would have to agree that you have said to much! Seems to me way to much. There are holes in your story that I could drive a pickup through. Maybe you should get picked up for wildlife harassment. Or for interfering with a legal hunt. Where is your proof that this cousin of...

I understand what chains are used for. They are for the ultimate traction possible. Therefore they are used in the most adverse conditions that your vehicle is capable of handling(traction wise). I have seen unbelievable things happen with them on and have used them many times. What I am...

Using chains on the front tires of a late model chevy have nothing to do with clearance. They are not recommended because of the independent front suspension and CV Shafts. Any vehicle with this design of front suspension is not recommended to be used with tire chains. you run the risk of...

300 Winny

Npaden, Hey thats great information. Thanks. How heavy do you think your heaviest load was? Did the loaded pack seem like it shifted weight and trow you around when you were hiking? The biggest concern that I had is what someone told me about their experience. They said that the load felt...

I don't mean to be so ignorant, but just where is Monte Cristo and the Deseret Ranch? This is the first time that I have ever heard of it.

I'm guessing that your estimation is conservative. This buck in my opinion is probably in the 27-28 inch outside spread region and in the 175 to 185 ballpark. Its tough to guess exactly with the photos, but I wouldn't hesitate getting a closer look if ya know what I'm sayin'.

If it were me I would buy the Endeavor. The 4 extra inches are a great asset. Especially with the 25-06 where slow burning powders are used. 4 inches can increase your velocity by as much as 150 FPS in the 25-06. The weight difference will be minimal especially in the encore platform because...

I was going to say that I thought it looked like I buck i had seen somewhere before. I think it was on the Kiabab.

There are a few things that I like about this pack. The gun holster is nice. Even when archery hunting it can be used for my tripod if I want. The side pockets are large enough for a full sized spotting scope. The main compartment is big enough to be worth something. However the pack is...

I was thinking about getting a new pack. Does anyone have any experience with this pack? If so, what are your thoughts on its design and functionality? Please speak candidly there are no right or wrong answers here.

Absolutely! I have an e-trex legend C. There are several uses that I like mine for. I like to mark either the truck or camp. If I get an animal down I will mark it because it seems like I always shoot one on the evening hunt and we are packing it out after dark. I also like to use it to see...

Ok Swbuckmaster, good question. I have spent a great deal of time over the years in the field. So I am pretty well seasoned in the basics. I guess it would have helped to have better explained myself in the original posts. I have spent a great deal of time hunting the same territory and have...

Does anyone know of a good source of scouting tips? I was looking for a book or something that I could learn techniques from.

1+ Zigga, Who cares; Me First, Me Middle and Me Last! Who cares as long as its all about me. What a mentality?

Good heck guys! Are we not all road hunters? I defy any one on this site or otherwise to say that their eyes aren't open when driving down the road. Especially during hunting season. I also would guess with a great deal of certainty that if any one of you "purists" seen an above average buck...

Could prove to be a difficult hunt for your friend. It has been two years ago, but that fire they had by cove fort was hard on the unit. A great deal of habitat was destroyed. If it were me I would spend some time on Google Earth and or look at the most recent areal photos that I could get my...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-10-10 AT 12:23PM (MST)[p]About how old is his vehicle and are there any signs that would distinguish his rig from others that could help us? Perhaps a dent in a particular body panel, a particular sticker in the window, etc. What about tires and rims, If you have a photo it...

I would also have to agree with the accuracy statement. Both have won 1000 yard competitions. However you will find better ballistic coefficient in lighter bullets with the 7mm. Is one really better than the other. I believe that it is more application specific as to which caliber is better...

My buddy has the Swarovski 20-60x80 HD. I have a skyline ED. We had them set up side by side at dusk. They were almost equal in clearness and brightness. I was proud to own the Skyline after seeing that. I paid 450 used. He paid almost 3 grand. Not to mention that the Warranty for the...

Thats awesome. England is a great place. I've never made it back unfortunately. Never happened across anyone from Sri Lanka but the Indian food was decent. Are you guys coming down Saturday?

Hey Weatherspoon, What were you doing in England? Did you serve a mish there? IF so when and where? Yeah the english were crazy for their Donner Kababs! Nasty! The chicken ones were much better. Those Carp are like Stripers. You have to cut the red meat out. Turns mushy and gross...

Sagebrush1 Hey that is awesome! I am glad to see that you have found some good results for your 300 Win. I am going to have to go against my reasoning and try some of the reloader 22. I have no doubt that it is a great choice. Perhaps now that I have found one load with the IMR 4831. I...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-14-10 AT 10:25AM (MST)[p]ICMDEER, I know that this is going to sound crazy. But you said that you did not understand why I did not try any other powders. I can understand the question completely. Here is why. I have been able to load for everyone of my calibers with...

Alright fellas. Sorry for the delays, but they were out of my hands. Went to the range a week ago yesterday and they had it closed for the summer games. This week I got the opportunity to go yesterday morning at about 6:00am. The conditions were not perfect. However, they were good enough...

Here's my feelings on the whole ordeal. I'm afraid my ascension to the top of the soap box has come. Lead or no lead? This is not the Question. I did read the article in Christensen's magazine. I quite enjoy the articles that the dueling duo put together. For the most part I try to remain...

1+ for Nimrod!

I purchased a MSR Expedition last spring for a 7 day 50 mile hike on the Boulder Mountains last year. I was not disappointed! I like the MSR because it has a ceramic element and can pump virtually twice as much water as any other pump before it needs to be replaced. It was also a snap to clean...

Cabinfever, thanks for your comments and I couldn't agree more. You are right in what you say. I did go through a break in procedure for my 300 before I ever started with load development. Instead of using Montana extreme, I used Barnes CR-10. Ive been told by several that it is the most...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-02-10 AT 08:52PM (MST)[p]Well here's what I decided after hearing what you guys had to say. I took a load between the lightest two and loaded it with varying bullet depths. I loaded five different loads at an even 72 grains. The first seat depth is 3.340, 3.355, 3.375, 3.395...

Great Job Scott. Are you going to get her down here to shoot the summer games?

Justr_86 I can tell you that the loads felt great. They seem to be well mannered and not harsh to shoot at all. This rifle could not go under a 2" group to save its life with 180grain factory loads. Either Remington or Winchester. However it seemed to like these Sierra's. I will do some...

The rifle is new. I am guessing that the trigger is sitting right around 4 to 4.5 pounds for pull. It has a mile of creep though. I am guessing that there is around .050-.080 of trigger creep. The shots are surprising me when they go off which is a good sign. How much will it change the...

LAST EDITED ON May-31-10 AT 08:18PM (MST)[p]So I set out today with my new trusty Ruger Hawkeye 300 Win Mag. I had worked up some test loads to find what my new rifle was going to shoot best. The bullets that I had chosen were 180 grain Sierra Gameking spire point boat tails. I like these...
