About a year ago I told my little 243 she was getting some new accubonds. I told her if she ate all her sierras and spanked some yotes and a big ol stinky antelope for me she could have all the pretty little white tipped bullets she wanted. She's done everything I asked and more, even waiting...

Great Ibex! Thanks for the pictures, I can feel hypothermia setting in just looking at that river...

I'd like another run of solid bases, preferrably blemished...

That's a great idea 6mm, I plan to do something of the sort. funny how some of the really great hunts start to feel like they happened last year after just a day or two back in the routine, I'm still flyin pretty high though and may be for a while. I'm really glad you guys enjoyed the pics and...

Found this guy a couple weeks ago during a scouting trip Enough to keep a guy from sleeping. We were able to find him again a couple days before the hunt started and stuck with him for the most part during his wanderings, he looked like a grand old ram and I really wanted to collect him...

Just got off the mountain, had an INCREDIBLE hunt! Thought you boys might like to see what kind of sheep we have down here. .308 Win, Nosler brass, 165 Accubond, 50 grs MR2000 pretty beat tonight, I'll post some more later on

Those are some great critters partner, I've heard very little about the russa deer, can you give us the low down?

Good luck! I'd grab the .35 and go get him. I'd love to see a picture of the hunt area if you get a chance (when you get back) It can be a workout for sure but packing yummy critters out of the hinterlands is one of my favorite logistical problems. Best of luck to ya

Too Tall- I did see some sheep. Most of them seem to have moved down to the timber as I am told they are want to do in this area at this time of year. The pecos area is considered the tougher of the sheep hunts in new mexico for that reason. The sheep I saw did not seem to be particularly...

Here's a few more Pictures were taken last weekend in the Pecos wilderness area north central new mexico. The forest only recently opened after being closed all summer due to fires in adjoining areas. Saw over a hundred elk, mostly cows and calves, interestingly they were mostly...

Couple pics from a recent scouting trip, first time trying to post pics on a forum

I have to agree with the good stuff verdict. Bought three boxes of cosmetically blemished trophy grade ammo when i purchased my .308 (165 accubonds, shoot very well by the way) used the first box for barrel break in and have reloaded it 4 times. Will probably start recycling after the next...

That bullet should behave very well in that velocity range, if you like the way it shoots I'd go huntin'!

DrMike, I had planned on scouting most of the summer and then hiring horses and going in 5 days before the hunt to try to locate a ram before the season opened. Unfortuneately due to the high fire danger (half the state is burning :( ) the forest service has completely closed the area for the...

Thanks for the advice, I've heard bighorns are'nt particularly hard to kill, the tough part is getting up next to them. I have a lot of respect for the AB's and a soft spot in my heart for 165's, I have plenty on hand so I'll probably go that way. Most of my rifles have shown a distinct...

Thanks guys, I'm really pumped about the sheep, still in shock kinda as I never thought I'd get to do it. 257-It's for rocky mountain bighorn in the pecos wilderness NE of santa fe. New Mexico only offers ONE desert bighorn tag per year in the public draw. There may be more tags offered in...

Drew like a champ this year, archery antelope early august, big horn sheep late august, wyoming 89 antelope late september, muzzleloader deer end of october, muzzleloader cow elk for december. The big horn sheep tag blows my mind, i was pretty sure you had to be a non resident to draw a sheep...

hi guys, been checking out this forum for a couple of years, don't post much but I consider this site to be one of the best places on the web for reloading and shooting information, generally any question I may have has already been answered several times here by some very knowledgable folks...

Elkeater, what kind of rifle does your son shoot? I've been eyeballing a Model 70 in 7 WSM that may have to come home with me soon...
