I'm 54 and work as a machinist, the money is all right I suppose and I get 4 weeks of vacation a year. The best move I ever made though was staying in the Navy long enough to retire at age 38. The...

Sorry canvsbk I let this thread slip out of mind, mine has a 40 degree shoulder.

Bob

Yes you should! I for one sincerely appreciate it.

Great looking buck, congrats!

One that says Nosler on the box!

No problem! I had a really fun hunt in 71 4 years ago. I would like to hunt it again some day, if you do draw it let me know and I can give you some starting points if you like.

Bob

From what I've seen the last 2 years 71 will be a tough hunt, especially on public land. Last year all I saw were does and very small bucks in the unit, and very few of those. I never got off the...

Not sure but I know the numbers were way down last year compared to the previous 2 years.

Bob

Thanks Chad!
We ended up in unit 72, very low numbers compared to previous years. We saw so few does and especially fawns that we decided to only shoot one doe each even though we had more tags. As...

It looks similar to the EGW scope rail -

I have looked all over creation and can't find my chronograph records. From my 24" Douglas barrel I was squirting the 130 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip out at around 3200 fps. I never got any farther...

The biggest reason I wear camo for most of my hunting is because most of the really good hunting clothes only come in camo, there are some exceptions of course, most notably in wool. I do prefer wool...

I'll have to dig out the chronograph data, that particular barrel was a Douglas 24 incher, now an 18" fire form barrel. The next one will be a Kreiger or Broughton. Rifle is an M10, Rifle Basics...

Things are still pretty good here I suppose.

I spent a lot of time with a LRH in .300 Winchester last year, it belongs to my son-in-law. It responded very well to the 180 grain Accubond and...

The cartridge you seek is the .270/08 improved. It gives .270 ballistics in a short action case with 10 grains less powder. It also works splendidly in a short action Savage.

I would grab it a second if the price is right. Be aware though that the barrel quality in the early Rugers was hit or miss. I like Rugers though and would probably give $500.00 for a really nice one...

So, how many Savages would you take for the Kimber? I'm a big Savage fan myself but I like the pretty ones too! Nice choice on the LRH!

Bob

There are special restrictions on ammunition shipping, special markings and whatnot, I am pretty sure an individual can ship it though.It also has to go Fedex or UPS. I would check with the carrier...

I use the Eberlestock X1 for pronghorns every year and it's hard for me to imagine a better pack for the job. My rifle has a scope with a 50mm objective and target knobs, I can slide it in and out at...

I will be applying, not sure what unit yet, I burned all my points last year. Numbers are WAY down in the units I usually hunt.

You are correct on the draw process, the areas you list for 2nd. and 3rd. choices are all listed as difficult public access.

Yes it is congrats! Nice looking rifle too!

"I had a Great Uncle from West Plains. My Dad & his 1st cousins hunt Mark Twain during rifle every year. They have killed some good bucks over the...

I use the standard BLM maps backed up with the GPS chip from http://www.huntinggpsmaps.com/. Just make sure everything agrees between both. I noticed a boundry issue in my antelope unit last year....

My son-in-law took a Badlands super day pronghorn hunting this past fall. He just sold it and is getting the Eberlestock X1. I really like my Eberlestock X1E.

Bob

Thanks! Yes it is, I have hunted the Mark Twain all my life, it used to be called Clark National Forest. This was my 50th. season in the "deer woods" . I started going with my Dad at age 4, started...
