I'll save you guys some time and money on building a pellet trap.  There used to be plans for a silent pellet trap on the web but the guy sells them now.  His were made of wood and I made a couple I still use.  But I found something that works even better and can stand up to even my PCP airguns.  You can get all of the materials from Home Depot.  I print my own target on a 90 pound weight paper so that the pellets cut clean holes.  So you can take a standard sheet of 8.5X11 paper to the store and go to the electrical department.  Find the cheapest metal electrical circuit box (breaker box) that the paper fits closely over.  The box fronts come off and you'll get rid of it when you get home.  Then find or ask the sales person to get you to the Electrical Duct Sealant.  It's a gray putty that comes in stick blocks and get enough to make one layer of it inside your box.  Take your materials home and take the top off of the circuit box and throw it away.  Take your duct seal and stuff it into the box.  Go find a refrigerator door magnet or I use a magnetic paper clip to hold your target to the front of the metal electrical box.  There you have your silent pellet trap.  These are very quiet that don't splatter lead or lead dust around and you can shoot almost indefinitely into them without worrying about removing the pellets.  Plus since it's a metal box you never have to worry about your pellets making a hole out the back like I did with my wooden version.

I would HIGHLY recommend taking a friend, better yet an experienced hunter that knows the area. Good luck on Elk of big horn.... Deer tags depending on where youll be could be draw only or over the counter. You need to get a regs book and look over the zones see where you will want to hunt, preferable with someone whos been there already or if its an area youve hiked, camped in before etc.   THEN do some scouting, learn the area, pattern the deer best you can before season. 

  Pigs are year round but most are on private land...   Good Luck with your hunt  

Congrats Wing!

About the only bird call that is really worthwhile is the quail call.  I have a very old pheasant call that imitates a male pheasant and it will get males to respond at times.  I have never had any luck with calling dove except for one we raise from a fledgling.  Otherwise they're moving along to fast to stop and call back.

John, I won't send S back to USA FOXX. We just got back our foxes and raccoons from last year...let me tell you...every single one of them was messed up. Tails missing, holes everywhere, hair missing. Terrible, terrible. Oh, and it took them almost a year to get them back to us, and THEN they lost one. After calling them and complaining about the quality, they said "there weren't any notes on the account regarding the shape of the furs"...so, they openly said that what we got is normal quality. Sad. We asked them to replace the furs that were messed up and lost (all of them, I think), and they did. What they sent was also not what I'd call quality, but better than the original batch. And it took them weeks to send that replacement batch.

 

Now we're sending them to a local taxidermist friend of ours that fleshes them for us and sends them to his tanner at cost.

 

Not my cup of tea. Just a heads up.

I went out calling for a bit this morning with My handcalls, and didnt see anything.  After doing some "HoneyDo's"  I happened to be standing at the kitchen window looking out towards the pasture. I couldnt believe it.. I saw a Coyote coming in under the gate that leads to our yard!   After another glance, I saw One of Robins cats standing in the driveway. I ran and got the Tikka from the mancave,inserted a 60gr Vmax from the mag and ran to the front door. Just as I suspected the Coyote was trying to get Robins Cat. It was behind a couple of trees and then I saw it emerging from behind them. The Cat arched its back unsure of what was happening, and was staring at the Coyote a mere 25 ft away.  By then I was already at the front door with the doors open and looking at this Mangey female in the scope.  She wont be eating cats anytime soon.

Bird tracks.

You may want to think twice about your smoker being in the garage!  Not only can you dangerously raise carbon monoxide levels that could migrate into your house but the smoke will chase out in a short time.

Why buy one of those plastic ones from Bass Pro. Contact me or Jawbreaker and get a hand made call tht will be a lot better for your needs. And probably at the same price or less than from BP. Just a thought.

My dad always had Irish Setters when I was growing up< he also had a Gordon Setter,> I killed so many pheasants over those dogs, lol kinda spoiled me. I have had good GSH and Brittanies and my son has a damn fine Lab. Nothing like shooting over a good dog. Ed

The SSN on the DROS form is just to distinguish you from a person that might have a similar/same name. That is why it is optional. All that might happen (if you are legally able to purchase the firearm) is that if there happens to be someone very similar to you, it could potentially lengthen the return on the background check. I'm sure you won't have any hiccups.

Congrats to you and filling your limit. That is great!

I have got 3 Coyotes at Cache Creek, have seen no deer if thats what you are wondering about, Make sure you take some waders to get across the creek. There are not many places to cross without getting wet. Be prepared for alot of walking as no vehicles are permitted.If one hiked a few miles off of the beaten path maybe He would see more. I Go a mile or so, and have not seen much. Good luck.

 Stef, you look pretty small, I'll bet you can sleep in the back with the rear seats folded down. I just lay the front seat back and sleep there.

Your picture shows now but earlier it said the picture had been removed.

So then, couldn't a fellow take 2=3 different loads the the range the same day, and set his zero on the scope for the lightest bullet he intends to shoot, and then also shoot the other heavier weight bullet and write scope setting on the box? Of course the scope has to be repeatable, but that goes with any rifle and any weight of bullet. ?? just asking.

Don't forget your GPS so you don't get lost.

GRATS  

Steph, I mentioned it in the Jeep thread, but also consider a Cherokee Sport. Prolly 5-6 ft of storage behind the rear seat. Those inline 6 cyls last, and get decent milage too. Just dont buy one that someone has used for a rock crawler.. lol
