  1. Considering market price in less than $4.00 a bushel. A bushel of corn is 56 lbs. So, I will sell you as much corn as you want to buy for that price.
  2. Well, I'm glad we think somewhat alike. I have been shooting off my stool in my double bull blind. Got it set up in the yard. I used that small buck target because I'm cheap and didn't want to buy an antelope target. It's about the same size as a good antelope buck. I am lookiing forward to meeting everyone too. Should be good time.
  3. I am going to move out to 70 yds tomorrow. I figure if i can stay steady enough at 70 yds to put one in the boiler room each time then i should be good to go at 20 and 30 yds.....
  4. 12-point is mostly right, but some areas are better than others. I would do as fly suggests and look at what public ground we have here in Illinois, but I would go a step further and call the site manager's and ask what the actual participation rate is. For instance we have a state park that allows bowhunting and all you have to do is get an access card at the front office. About 200 plus signup for the hunting on that park. It is around 1200-1500 acres, but only a handfull actually hunt. Most of the handfull only hunt a Saturday or Sunday, but rarely both. The site manager shared this with me one day while I was on a call at the park. I have measured some really nice bucks that came off that park. Food for thought.
  5. Jim Shockey hunting Yukon Moose
  6. I would wait to see if he gave me a better shot. Better to wait and not get one than to shoot and get a bad shot and never find him.
  7. With the schedules those guys keep I don't think I would want to be in his shoes.
  8. How's he getting along? I haven't talked to him much since he was here at my place last fall bowhunting.
  9. I have been practicing everyday for my trip to Wyoming. Here are some pictures of my 50 and 60 yard shots. I would probably never take a shot at an animal this far but it sure does make those 20,30, and 40 yard shots seem easier when you have been shooting at longer distances. 50 yard group 60 yard group
  10. We plan on driving out on the 30th and will be in the area till 7th or 8th. Look forward to meeting everyone
  11. One thing is for sure. If they do attempt it, life as we know it will change.

  17. Best of Luck in becoming a MARINE!! I will never forget the day I earned the title..
  18. Good Luck.......we kinda do the same thing at my depatment. The applicant has to request a ride along. They don't require it. They just mention it to see who the "interested" ones are. What PD are you testing for? You can PM me if you don't want to put it on here.
  19. The Show is called Powderhorn Montana
