Just got new tires and rims thrown on there. The size that came on it sold were too big and wide it was rubbing. Also had the tires cracking badly on the sidewall and tread! Even with those tires it was one of the smoothest cars I've ever driven!

Fun morning in the desert. 30 yards. Yes, it's legal. Look up12-4-318

How much land do you have to own to get one. That would determine if I'm for or against. J/K I'm against the idea.

I was able to shoot a good pig this year on our first day of hunting in 19b with both my kids with me. We started by walking a canyon that always has good pig sign, with hidden water sources and "pig caves" that the javelina dig in the loose soil walls. After lunch we took a stroll down another canyon and caught a group of 5 leaving a water source. I aimed at the last and largest pig at 50 yards and dropped it. A fun family day out with my kids, and I am counting down the days when I get to watch them behind the trigger.

I can’t imagine owning a 5-10k acre ranch my whole life and getting to elk hunt on it once or twice in my life. “Transferable” is where it gets dicey. I think ranch only, non transferable tags are a good thing, when you make em transferable is where money comes in and issues arise.

Look up ugly annealer. I been pretty impressed with it.

The landowner does not own the game animal but they do supply water and browse and grazing for wildlife, water is the key, most of the units in northern Az especially the coconino plateau was devoid of water and wildlife in the 1800's until the ranching ventures developed waters for livestock, early explorers verify that.

You know in the BAB everyone has to report. So let's all report. Atleast they would have an accurate record

Give it to me! I need to build a backdrop in our backyard. If anyone knows of someone ripping out carpet in the east valley/Phoenix area, please let me know. Kids are struggling at hitting the target and I can't afford more arrows! Thanks.

My son drew a tag for one of Colorado’s open space hunts this year. It is a neat opportunity because it allows you to hunt the month of December and January which fits well with kids school schedules. We drove out as a family Christmas Day and headed out on the 26th for our first day of hunting. Saw a pile of deer and my son picked the deer he wanted to harvest and made a great shot. It was a special day and one I will never forget. I can’t stress enough, IMO, how important it is to just get out and hunt with our kids! No expectations, no trophy talk, no making them wait years for a tag because we want them to shoot the buck of “our dreams”. Let them shoot what they want. Just get out there and soak up the opportunities…they grow up so fast and time is so fleeting!

Montanas block management also seems to work well, at least last time I watched Warden.

Missouri has landowner tags. The system seems to work well. But you can’t transfer them. It’s just for landowners to hunt their own property. if they would let us bait animals again, private property is a non-issue. You can just always lure them off with a bale of hay.

How about 20 years ago when the ranchers wanted all the elk gone in the multi unit areas of 17, 18 and 19. " Get these elk out of our ranches they are ruining cattle grazing" fast forward a few years and maybe one ranch still gives you access to hunt these " invading creatures". Guides moved in and now you gotta pay? I say break down the units. Only issue 15 tags in 18b to give a big middle finger to the Bacca. And let the elk herd grow into a stable ,huntable population for us to enjoy.

Drill and a socket, poor man choice.

Annealeez is great. I got mine used for $125ish. Works great.

Congrats! Awesome with the kids! My boy (33 now) was right behind me about 30 ft. when I got my 1st archery pig. When they scattered a couple ran between him and me. I think he went home without underwear that hunt.

I have a new AGS Brass Annealer v 3.0. Its the smallest form factor and budget friendly. https://agscustomparts.com/product/ags-brass-annealer-3/ $260 I am in Chandler/Gilbert area.

I headed out to camp after work on Friday, Pops hasn’t seen any javelina all morning. We hit up some glassing spots in the evening with no luck, just a bunch of coues bucks. Saturday morning I observed something I never seen before. I saw a cloud of dirt in the air and was wondering what the heck it was. After a minute I saw a herd of pigs working the ridge, it’s so dry they were kicking up dirt when digging for roots. We put in a stalk and pops had a small window to shoot at 45 yards with his contender. He didn’t realize it at the time but there’s a small rise between him and the javelina. He ended up shooting a nice rock at 20 yards, the herd spooked good after that. Saturday afternoon I started hiking some roadless canyons and checked out cuts while pops stayed near the road. He has a hernia right now and his doctor was against him walking long distances. I didn’t see anything at all until after sunset. After sunset I spotted a herd a mile out and watched them til dark, didn’t have time to make a stalk. Sunday morning, pops and I hiked about a mile in, we got on a ridge above where I saw javelina the evening before. About 8:20 I was getting worried that coyotes had spooked the herd because we haven’t seen em yet. I moved to different angles and found them getting up to feed. We made our stalk and one pig had us pinned at 55 yards so I harvested him with the muzzy. The herd was alert and once they settled down, pops put his down at 75 yards with his 223. We were able to get both pigs cleaned up, processed, break down camp and got home just in time to host the Super Bowl party. Here’s the cloud of dirt, the javelina were just on the other side of the ridge.

Suppressed would be Awesome!!!!! Apparently we are both rebels:)

We also used an AR pistol on our ham hunt. Suppressed 300blk off of a tripod!

I had a great time chasing Javelina and quail over the new year. The trip was very successful, my group filled all 6 of our javelina tags, and we all had fun shooting quail. I'm a fairly new javelina hunter, and most everything I read about them stated that they like to feed on south-facing prickly pear hillsides during sunny, calm days. However, every group of Javelina we spotted were found first thing in the morning and late in the evening. They weren't necessarily on south facing hillsides in prickly pear either. Often times, we would watch a group walk into a thick canyon right after the sun hit them. One group marched quickly up a mtn, and into a new canyon, presumably to bed. We watched another group come out of the thick brushy bottom right at last light to feed out in the open. We all started to question if 65-75 degrees was too warm. Is there a temperature range that javelina are more willing to be out all day? I assumed the new moon would help our hunt, but it didn't seem to affect how long the javelina were willing to feed during the day. Does moon phase matter at all?

577-450 most likely.

But they don't own the animals
