My family's prayers are with you.

I forgot to add that KodiakOutdoors is located in Tempe. The bows are currently made in CA, but I understand that they are moving the manufacturing to Tempe as well.

I shoot a KodiakOutdoors Bowlogic 36. My buddy who shoots a PSE really likes my bow, but then don't we all like the newest rifle/bow our buddies get. Especially when ours is a year or two old I did not go with their rest and sights, but you can get it as a kit with sights and a dropaway rest for around $700. I picked it becasue it felt good to me and is light. I shot a Mathews Outback (Heavy and fat grip), Hoyt Xtec (almost got it) and a PSE (can't remember which one, but really quiet). They are all great shooters. The KO just felt the best to me. Mathews and Hoyt are more expensive if that is a limitng factor. Although the reflex bows are similar to Hoyt (same company) I'm not a fan of short axles bows, just never felt right to me. Bottom line is shoot a few and pick.

My grandfather had same problem two different trucks On one he broke down and bought a new starter from GM and problem was solved. On the other, if I remember correctly, we created a heat shield of some sort between starter and engine. It's been awhile so I don't remember what we thought was causing problem (manifold heat, or engine block), but this also seemed to resolve problem.

Well, I knew the Coues was a more elegant and finer species, but Rembrant and Lark have have both provided eloquent explanations. I learn something new everyday on this website

Okay I must be out of touch on terminolgy, but what is everyone referring to when using the word CARP? I am assuming it is not the fish.

Passed with an 87% first time no training. Doesn't make me a bear hunter, but not a bad idea. Of course now I wonder how do people shoot the wrong ones when a novice like me was able to score that high.

Well, No pre-season scouting and less than 24 hours of hunting equals no bucks and no boars. Saw lots of pig sign Sun morning, but wind was wrong so we drove way around to come in with favorable wind and mother nature played with us and switched the wind direction. Saw a herd of 25+ mulies Sat afternoon. All of the animals we could verify were does and it was getting towards dark so we decided to forego the stalk. Would've been a couple of mile hike just to find out if there were any bucks. Bar T almost had a stalk on a forked horn Sunday, but they busted him and took off. The last two seasons have basically been getting familiar with areas for Coues, Elk, Mulies and Jaelina's so next year should be good for my hunting party if we don't get a wild hair and put in for new areas.

Heading down to Wilcox this weekend our tags are good for 27-32. Planning to hunt a couple of areas my buddy's cousin has seen deer and javelina. Probably our only chance to hunt this season. Hope we're lucky. Mike

I shoot a T3 in 270 win. Great rifle and the trigger is about the best for an out of box gun. The Stds have the 22" barrel the magnums have a 23" plus barrel Mike

couesdiehard, we haven't made it down yet. planning on hunting MLK weekend. We have units 27-32 so quite a wide range to pick from. Not 100% sure, but I think were planning to hunt near Kansas Settlement I believe we have some permission from some farmers in the area. Wish we would have put in for the 36 ABC hunt as I'm more familiar with the area. We'll also have archery deer tags. Anybody with any suggestions for these units?

I was at the Sportsmens Warehouse grand opening and they announced that they would be opening in Mesa and Tucson within the year. So you folks down n Tucson will actually have a great hunting/fishing store. Bass Pro is supposed to open in Mesa as well (I believe next to the IKEA store). I have heard rumors that Cabela's is looking at AZ as well. I am somewhat biased to Sprotsmans since it started out West (Utah).

"Help Cecil Help!!" "I'm comin' Beanie Boy!!" I haven't thought of that in years. Now I know what I'm supposed to do when it rains during AZ hunting season

I'm heading back down tonight. Didn't see any shooters opening weekend. My buddies are still down there and I understand they each missed one Wednesday so at least they are seeing them. Hoping tomorrow will be a good day. I believe cousediehard tagged out Wed. Mike

We were in 36B. I saw about 12 does Friday and Sat am. My buddies dad saw a spike. Didn't get to hunt Sun. Hopefully they are having luck. I'll be back down Fri night I did see Couesdiehard down there and his luck wasn't much better than ours by Sat evening. Forest service said Oct hunt hit them pretty hard. Wall to wall hunters and quite a few deer taken out.
