Hunter Ed classroom class in Flagstaff Feb 26-March 1, 2026. 100% attendance of every session is required to pass and receive credit. Due to instructor availability and the necessary instructor-student ratios set by AGFD, we can't take online students. We always have a fun class, though, so get your spot while you can, especially after the spring results are posted. As always, holler with any questions. It went live Monday morning and is already at 19/24 seats filled. https://www.register-ed.com/events/view/238040

Want me to just pick you (sorry, your friend) up on the way through?

Gypsy band of midget strippers riding a herd or bighorns?

That gypsy band of midget strippers?

I haven't heard, but I'm out of that particular loop at work. I can probably find out Monday when I'm back in the office.

I just mounted my new Leupold Mk4 scope. Its the 4.5-18x52 mil, if that's relevant for these questions. Its FFP and, just out of the box and mounting it, I love it. Most of my scopes are FFP now, but it also got me to thinking and I'd love some sage perspectives. I get FFP being beneficial for keeping subtensions the same throughout the zoom range. I don't actually use the subtensions for anything after a friend got me onto using the Shooter App several years ago. 1) So here is my first question, how critical is FFP if you're using an app for all adjustments and not actually using the subtensions? What am I missing? I'm wondering if, as I move forward and consider replacing more scopes, how crucial FFP is if I'm just using an app for all my adjustments. Can I achieve the same thing with a SFP scope and save a bit of money, or is FFP that critical if I'm not relying on subtensions for any corrections or adjustments? 2) My new Leupold Mk4 is CDS compatible and I get a free dial after I submit the request with all of my data. Does anyone have any experience with Leupold CDS? Is is worth the effort? Any drawbacks?

I've asked the same question to 4 different WMs and gotten 5 different answers before. Interpretation of some of the regs is all over the place. Some will tell you using your vehicle as a rifle rest is not considered using a vehicle in the aid of taking game, while others have a very strict interpretation that using your vehicle as a rest absolutely is considered using a vehicle in the taking of game. One thing I've gotten consistent answers regarding is picking up deadheads as long as there is no fresh meat/hide. Picking them up whitewashed or with obviously mummified fur/meat has always been ok with every WM I've ever spoken to.
