Great mount! Did you kill both of those deer on the same piece of property? They look like cousins.

Nice buck!

Don't sweat it pal! The weather here has been crazy also. Better luck next year.

Get well soon buddy!

Have you tried to contact the company for a swatch?

We had a good dusting of snow on Sunday. Just enough to make the deck and grass white. Bitter cold this morning with a heavy frost.

When you say the cartridge is "mediocore at best", yes you are. You cannot compare a scoped .270 to an open sighted 94. They are two different guns for completely different situations. Its like comparing T/C Pro Hunter to a flintlock. With that statement you are comparing rifles not cartridges. Would YOU take that same shot with an open sighted .270? Your 200 yard shot is not something that every hunter see's in their lifetime. I've been deer hunting for almost 30 years and I've never seen a shot at a deer at 200 yards. Some hunters hunt prairies, some hunt big open lots in Sask., some hunt mountain tops. Then I would want a .270 for those shots. Your situation of shooting 200 yards through hardwoods is really not a good example because I doubt even you could fish a bullet through 200 yards of trees and limbs, let alone see horns. If I did see a buck at 200+ yards, I would not be upset because I couldn't make the shot. I would be upset that I wasn't a better hunter that could get closer. Better luck next time. Now if you had started this debate 5 years ago I would have agreed with you on certain points but with the newer bullets out there for the 30-30, it has become an even better killing machine. I will tell you right now, if I saw a buck at 150 yards or a little more I could paste that deer just as easily as you can. Plus if something should go wrong and I hit a limb, (we have all done it) I can get back on that deer's shoulder a lot faster because I won't have near the recoil that .270 will have. Right now I am shooting the fairly new pointed LeveRevolution bullets and they have made my 30-30 an even better killing machine. It is flat shooting bullet that drives home big holes (see below). And YES! My Marlin 30-30 rifle HAS killed more deer that anyone else in my camp.

I plan to order some and give them a try. So far the only lighted nock I have had success with is Lumenock.

Ditto! Happy Mothers Day!

Hope she is felling better this morning. WTG Todd! One of these days we need to figure out what your Realtree Vet bill is.

The top arrow looks like a typical broken arrow to me, frayed and splintered. The bottom arrow however looks different. Broken in two places without any splinters. Looks almost cut. Very straaaange indeed. :shifty:

We are supposed to get it Saturday night. :angel2:

1. Pick up phone book. 2. Flip to yellow pages. 3. Find "travel agents". 4. Call and book trip. 5. Learn to spell honeymoon!

Congrats again Shawn!

Way to go Mike!

Congratulations Mike!

You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned machinest. Todays school focus sooo much on computers that the shop teachers we knew as kids are almost extinct. Then add to that todays cost of living. You cannot make a decent living as a gunsmith alone. You have to sell sporting goods and guns for you to make it. Now your store has to compete with the big box stores. Its almost impossible for a guy to make a living. My gunsmith has a full time job while his wife watches the shop during the day.

Me too!!!! Have fun Shaun and take plenty of pics.

Hope my brother Cheesehead has a great day. Happy Birthday Matt!

That's the one I was talking about.

Yellow perch are my all time favoite eating fish. Enjoy my friend!
