I grew up in the Midwest so am used to the humidity. Then we moved to So Cal so some heat and all the temptations one could ever want. I was stationed in the South so rotations in NTC Barstow was like a welcomed vacation. or as much or a vacation 125 degree in the shade could be. Even worse in...

The partying and nightlife doesn't appeal to me so that isn't a draw. I can make my own good food having grown up around it. But thanks for the input Lance. The draw is the work and how much they'll pay me. and how much they value my input, skills, and knowledge.

At this point I'm not too concerned with how much they'll pay me. They'll either make it profitable or not. I'm looking at quality of life. The weather is extremely hot three months out of the year. There are those transition month and about seven months of near perfect weather. City life is a...

Money is a large factor, but the main draw is I'd be doing something I don't think anyone else has yet. At least in a commercial capacity. Big city life isn't anything I want again.

Yeah thanks I understand what the weather is like there. I've visited Vegas and shot a few competitions there. I lived in areas with the same weather patterns so it's not new, not desirable, but not new to me. What I'm mainly concerned with the hunting opportunities near Vegas. The fishing...

I've been speaking with Oregon officials. It's being evaluated by the upper levels of the chain of command now. We'll see because they are having a new department head being chosen. And well we'll just have to wait and see.

Yeah I saw that. I really appreciate your insight. Thanks!

Yeah I saw Summerlin and Henderson as the desired communities. I don't care for extreme heat but have lived in it for many years.

I was offered a job in Las Vegas and haven't been there for 26 years. I'm wondering what the hunting and fishing is like near there. And the general quality of life.

IMO there's a balance of MPBR and usable, realistic hunting range. You can stretch out MPBR with lighter bullets but then there is a point of diminishing returns. I find that most over bore varmint cartridges illustrate this very well. Much like a 22-250 pushing a 40 gr whatever. You'll get a...

MPBR of 250 yards and I'm sure it's good enough for deer out to 800 yards. I've taken a badger with a coldbore shot at 659 yards and it hit hard. Cheap Barnes 145gr Match Burners.

My 260 AI using my dual purpose varmint/ deer load. I still haven't pushed it hard with other powders so I think this is still slow for the cartridge. Slow but accurate.

Nothing wrong with the 53gr vmax. I shoot it and the 73gr ELDM and 75 ELDM out of my AR15. The 75gr ELDM needs modified stainless steel mags. Easier to do the 73gr ELDM or 77gr TMK.
