    Thanks for doing that Mr. Pirate. Yep, wars are pretty exciting. I got caught up in a fine little one when Tanzania tried to help Obote get Uganda back from Idi Amin in '72. Glad I was young and indestructible. Yuma doves: When I was a kid I usta put my single shot shotgun across the bike...

    Thanks! Northern Nevada about 6500' I had a jacket on till I heard him coming. It did warm up to the mid 80s though in the afternoon. Good breeze.

    Worked for me. Solid rifle, a little heavy (now that i'm 70 with a torn rotator, everything is heavy!) but very nice light double set trigger let-off.

    My condolences for the loss of your friend. Glad he got to get some hunting in though. Pronghorns are pretty cool critters alright. Go get after them!

    Looks like you're from AZ. I'm a Yuma Boy myself, Yuma High Criminal, Class of '72. Poked around Green Valley too, Stay ready for that tag, mebbe shoot some javelina. Heck, I'd like to do that! Hunted Coues deer once. The hunting was great, the shooting...not so much. Dam, those things are...

    In 1972-73 I lived and worked with a fellow in Uganda who was a PH. Waterbuck was a favorite.

    Yep,.... plus, I just enjoy sneakin' around in the bushes. I used to bow hunt but completely tore my shoulder. I get another muzzleloader chance for deer in Sept.

    Had a good solo hunt a couple of days ago. Fortunate to still be able to do it at 70 yrs old. Only about a 45 yard shot with 90 gr, ff and a roundball. Flopped him. Liver tonight!

    He liked to quote Warren Page. Jack O'Connor...not so much. Maybe that explains my eyesight, or mebbe all the welding... or carb cleaner I'm always squirting in 'em. Pay more for glass than you want to.

    inexpensive spotting scope recommedations

    I have a scope too, but I would have bought a pair of 12 or 15X binoculars to put on a tripod first for all-around range and hunting use if I had known how bad sitting on a hill out west for hours at a time looking through a scope sucks.
