Hey guys and gals, Long time no speak. Super busy as usual so my time spent online isn't what is used to be. First things first: Our two youngest daughters have been seizure free for almost 7 months ( medication controlled) after experiencing their first grand mal a little over a year...

It has been awhile and I have been busy. We had a second daughter diagnosed with Epilepsy at the age of 21 months and I accepted a new job with a new employer so we are moving again... ( 7 homes in 12 years). I am a glutton for punishment. With life getting in the way of everything else I...

To set the backstory, back in 2002 I purchased a Classic Super grade .270 at Jays Sporting goods in Gaylord MI. Love that rifle. In the fall that rifle dropped a 32 inch wide mulie in his bed 6 or 7 miles above Edwards Colorado. Came back to Ohio and took the super grade apart and cleaned...

Cheyennes reply today about my daughters and a few requests for updates ( some of you know the story) made me realize that I have been a very bad forum member in the last 12 months. Some times life deals you a hand that you cannot understand. When that happens I feel you have two ways to...

Well I made it back. Here goes nothing. Day one: Oct 9th. Day before season. Left the house at 545am and drove over to my friends house who was going to go along for the first three days. He had already tagged a 350 inch bull down in the Gila Wilderness two weeks before so he was along...

Well I went out and shot the TC Prohunter one last time: a. To verify the 115gr of Blackhorn and 350 gr Kodiaks in MMP orange sabots. b. To move back to 200 to figure out the drop with the ballistic reticle of the Burris scope. When I left the range last time, I was about an inch low at...

Went out and sighted in the muzzleloader a few weeks ago, switching over to Blackhorn 209 from American Pioneer Powder. I ordered some MMP orange sabots, and I had 350 gr Hornady's, Speer's, and Kodiaks. I started out at 90 grains of BH and the Hornady. Groups were good, running 1.25-1.5 at...

I was able to get her out and shoot her. :grin: Scoped up in some Talley Low's with the C4 Burris. This was the first load down the pipe after bore sighting. 180 gr BT;s over 67 of IMR 4350 in brand new Winchester brass: Those are seven consecutive shots " walking the scope". The last...

Well it has been a work in progress for some time now. Started in Missouri last year, and finished here in New Mexico. I bought this 1959 Alaskan from a well known model 70 dealer on the east coast about 2 years ago and when I got my hands on it I was really upset. The stock was cracked at...

I received the email this morning. I drew a Unit 45 Bull tag for the Oct 10-14th Muzzleloader season. The rut will still be on and the bulls will be bugling. Archery tactics with a muzzleloader. I am so pumped right now. This unit includes the Pecos Wilderness area so that means to...

Well I finished work a bit early in El Paso TX last week and seeings how my boots, pack, trail pants, and binos just happened to be in the truck, I made a pit stop near Cloudcroft NM to look for sheds and get feel for the land. I put in for 2 late season Cow hunts for NM residents ( Dec) and...

It is with a heavy heart, but I feel I need to post this. Terry, aka HOGWILD338-378 left this world on November 8. I hope no body minds that I did this. Terry was a good man and I only really got to know him in the last few months as I prepared to move to Albuquerque. He answered every...

Here is the last 8 or so minutes of Mike and I's antelope hunt last month. The little shack you see at the top of the screen was 350 yards away and if you full screen view you will see the little black dots ( antelope) walking up out of the river bottom. If you turn the volume way up you...

Well it has been a few days and I am set up in Albuquerque, we sold our house in Missouri ( keep fingers crossed until closing), and we bought a house in Rio Rancho NM. Oh year I spent three days in WY hunting antelope, prairie dogs, and coyotes. Not bad for a week. Left KC on Tuesday at...

Tomorrow AM. Have the fifth wheel loaded up and tomorrow at 8AM I am headed west to Wyoming. By noon Wednesday I should be set up, sighted in and awaiting 280Remington ( mike) to come over from Nebraska. I have (2) doe antelope tags to fill and a bunch of coyotes to shoot ( according to...

So I finished another project. This one is the "Pink Princess". It stared life as Classic Stainless Boss in .243 that I bought back in 05 or 06. It shot very well, and even with the BOSS CR that I installed I couldn't stand the darn thing on the end of the barrel. Well when my oldest...

Okay. Starting a new job and being away from my family I haven't had alot of time to play with my new binos. I finally had the time to do a little testing. First off a little comparison of size and weight. Steiners are 18oz and Meopta's are 25oz. Steiners are smaller in stature: As...

Just purchased up a set of these and can't wait to look through them. I have been using Steiner predator 8x30's since 1999 with zero issues. Those Steiner's have literally been thrown around everywhere and still function superbly. Looking forward to doing a side by side on the back deck...

It has been a looooooooong time since I have been out west. 12 years to be exact. The last time I hunted Colorado was in 2002 and took home a beautiful 32 1/2 wide 5x3 and said I would not be back until I arrowed a Pope and Young whitetail. Well that happened in 2007, along with the arrival...

Pulled my cards yesterday and was very pleasantly surprised. Seems I have a lot of legal, Pope and Young sized bucks hanging around. Can't wait for season. Nice 8 pt Nice group with a legal 9 point Legal 8 point. Different legal 8 point with a double beamed non typical Another...
