Yes sir. You'll have to order it from Amazon just like the rest of us.

Patagonia was good to us today... the Frog bite was on

Shot this guy on opening morning. Spent a few days scouting before my hunt to find some elk to get into and i found a few. Spent most my time scout for wifes 3a3c tag. Opening mor ing I Come up a small hill to look in a meadow and across it i see this guy chasing a cow all over. One cow call and the cow heard it and came running and the bull was right behind. They came into 20 yards searching and after a few seconds of not seeing anything turned to walk away and I stopped him at 40 yards and shot him. He ran 50 yards and died. Shot him with a rage. I know people give that broadhead a bad review but they have never let me down and always leave huge holes.. been up in 3a3c with the wife ever sense trying to fill her tag. Seen plenty of bulls and have had a opportunity everyday and passed on a ton of bulls. Last night she missed. this morning put an arrow over the back of one. Hope it pans out she is getting discouraged. sorry for the sideways pics from on the phone in the woods. I am happy i could send it.

Yes, rotate 1/4 turn and save. Then rotate back and save again. For some reason it’s only necessary when posting directly from my iOS products.

Was out looking around for junior hunt next month. Heard some bugles at 11:30 am and thought it was a hunter. Climbed a bit higher and seen 3 different bulls in one area bugling to each other. One was a decent 6x6.

Thank you Adicted...I'm grateful for your gesture. Really helps me out of a jam.

I used trail transmission recently in AJ. Did a good job for us.

These guys have done a lot of work on my vehicles, including a transmission rebuild. I’ve always been happy with them. Definitely not open today though. http://www.randystransmissions.com/

Get yourself a good set of 10s or 12s with a good solid tripod and tripod mount. Then down the road save and get a good spotter.

I’m against mandates. But the data is crystal clear the vaccines are beneficial but not a guarantee you don’t get COVID. But if you do get it the vaccine has shown to minimize fatal outcomes. what’s open for debate are the long term effects. Tough call and debatable. My view only, Is if your pushing 60 or older you should get it. If your 40 to 45 no. 45 to 59 case by case. Kind of a tossup. I’m 47 and got poked. I’m in reallY good shape and no illness. under 40 and healthy I can’t rightfully argue for it. Absolutely against giving to anyone younger aged (sub 30) what blows me away is folks I know are over 80 and not in great shape and they don’t want the vaccine. I’m like what long term side effect are you worried about getting? Kind of odd decision but yet again to each their own. The mandates are going nowhere fast. It’s all rhetoric and a distraction from the cluster xxxx in Afghanistan

NEWBIE 19A PRONGHORN SUCCESS This hunt touched all 3 bases and then slid into home plate like a .300RUM! We all know how lucky I was to draw 19A General Pronghorn with only 9 points, so I won’t bore you with testimony to the months of scouting and time invested learning from other hunters. In short, I did the homework & it paid dividends! Some of you had asked for “the story”, so I’ll fast forward to 12hrs before Opening Hour. I had a target list of 4 bucks spanning 3 different areas of State Trusts & National Forest from Prescott Valley to Chino Valley. I had observed each of these bucks just hours earlier—defending their does, breeding their does, and raking desert flora. At one point I was pinned down behind tall Deer Grass just 100yrd away, thinking this chaos was better than any Outdoor Channel show I’ve ever seen. My target list had been established. Then, a curve ball was introduced. My hunting partner for Opening Day suggested I come put eyes on a buck he thought was “pretty good”. We then both glassed “Tall Boy” for over an hour. He chased off 2 other competing bucks to defend his 3 does the entire watching. Often times cresting a hill to provide a silhouette of his tall horns. This sealed the deal: the silhouette of his tall horns. All other negative features became a moot point, as this animal was impressively tall. “Tall Boy” just became the #1 on my target list. 04:00 we left camp to arrive before sunlight in hopes of taking him where we last saw him. As it often turns out, he wasn’t anywhere to be found. We hiked several hours & miles before spotting him on TOP of a rolling hill, some 1200yrd away, again silhouetting his horns. There were no other hunters this deep off the road, so we patiently watched him work those does down the hill, chase off 2 coyotes several times, frequently pass along his genes, and close the distance to around 600yrd. When the opportunity allowed, we used flora to hide our advancement as we belly crawled/boot scooted to a vantage point on a downward slope just 480yrd from his grass grazing on the prairie. 09:20, Boom Boom (hit him twice), .300RUM, 480yrd, smiles from ear to ear on 3 dudes. AZGFD Draw, No paid professional guides, No paid private ranch access, No cheating. Earned it the hard way! Special thank you to Mark B (coueswhitetail.com acquaintance) & Jake M (fellow FF who decided a day of hunting is better than any day at work). Both made my ‘once in a life-time tag’ more memorable than each will ever know, and even documented it (YouTube: Craigs 2021 AZ Antelope Hunt). BTW, I named my trophy “Tall Boy” as a play on words; A “Tall Boy beer” is 16oz… This buck’s beams are over 16”. Conservatively scored 80.25”. This was one for the books… or at least a campfire ring and some beer.

I was blasting doves at sundown last night at had a nice 6x6 walk into about 300 yards. Stood there and watched as I shot a few more times. I packed up and as I started to drive away I saw him walk down to the water. Away from the peaks out in the cedars. Lots of elk down there.

Plenty of them on this site alone who get their panties in a wad over that above firearm.

You do make some good points.I'd like the mandatory report.I think it would give an accurate count of take and could help in some units and hurt in others.the muzzy deal is a different subject the muzzy hunters are at a disadvantage compared to rifle hunts and in most cases archery as we only get one shot .good or bad it takes to long to reload .yes some will say scopes give it an advantage but if you look at the ballistics and energy most will not make shots past 300 yds there is always the few that have the big dollars and the skill to shoot past that but it's a very small few.I do see the need for crossbows as I've had 3 surgeries my self and can relate again there are those who will and do take advantage its a very slippery slope when you jump in and wish to see things go away as others may wish to take away the things they see you do as well .I say to each his own and true hunters should have ethics and basic standards for shot placement and ability and stick to those principals.

For reporting...... I recently went to Washington State and they have made it so that if you do not turn in your harvest reports (salmon, steelhead, crab, deer, elk, etc...) you have to pay an additional fee the next year. I thought it was a good win/win for those that don't want to report and the G&F Dept. gets additional revenue.

I agree with a lot of your points. We will see if anything changes

You suggested some interesting ideas. I don't agree with all of them, but definitely 80%. Great job!!!
