MULEPACKHUNTER

Happy bday

In seriousness, maybe dropping some new or additional water catch equipment or doing some sort of habitat improvment project.

They were dropping carcasses for edges cat hunt.

Getting done on the mules too love it. Great deer congrats.

Outstanding. Next time I am tired and sore and don't want to hike to that next ridge I will think of this guy.

I hit this pretty hard early on in reloading but I have not had the time to build a gun to suit it. I agree good brass negates some of the need and neck tension is very important. The most difference I ever saw was in SD which if I had the right rig would make a big difference at long range. I think AZkiller stole my checklist. Mr Zedyker I believe I have mentioned before has a book reloading for competition and if you want to learn about all the little tiny things that can move reloads around this book has it all from different presses to powder lots to neck turning. The biggest difference I ever saw was in primers and their effect on SD. These guys are making jagged holes at 800 yrds.

Touched home for sure. Great message and filming. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats girls way to get it done

Nice job congrats

Very cool.

Sound like we all had the same week, I didnt do much at all. I ate well but exercise was reserved for the mules and a bunch of worked hours. Looking forward to a better week this week.

Congrats again.

Beautiful.

Nice write up and congrats. I would love to see the sign at the restaurant that says closed for elk season. Lol

I know its likely they were hunting but how do you know for sure if a parked vehicle is hunters. I k ow many time we have gone to our special area only to find vehicles. So we spend the next few hours thinking the worst so sure there will be 5 tripods set up on our ridge only to glass up hikers and a young family doing trail work. Lol

Man nice pics and bull. Love it. I expect to see some dinner plate pics soon. congrats.

Very nice Jeep with new style coues sticker passed me on 60 this morning. I was driving me little blue Tacoma 25 years old. Honk Honk.

I think in my opinion only, it boils down to what makes you happy. I would imagine hunting with an outfit would be alot of fun with like minded guys and gals hanging out in the hills. I agree going out of state it would be helpful. Myself I would use outfits in certain situations but most of the time I would just DIY. I enjoy the research and scouting and knowing I did the work. There was a recent video of a hunt for a monster and it was all the outfitters guys like 6 of them doing all the work and then the hunter shows up with cash and spends 2 days and bam trophy. That is not appealing to me but I can certainly see where it would be to some. I would rather take my cash and spend more time in the hills. Some people just want the reward and not the work. Maybe they just never got both the work and reward to realize thats even better. I like the idea of going out of state and being packed into a camp then hunting on my own from there, I think that would be a way I would use outfitters. I too wish azgf would allow outfitters to work outside of guides. I would pack guys into camps of their choice from time to time for little cash but thats a cost of 1500. a year plus forest fees just for me to do that. To me hunting is just that, hunt and find the game and take it. Not call up a crew of guys and have them do it for me. I see the validity in its a ounce in a lifetime sheep tag you better get a guide, well I say you should have spent the last 30 years scouting while waiting for that tag if you really wanted to "hunt" sheep. Like I said whatever makes you happy but I can tell you from being new at this, when I scout and find good areas and animals I am on top of the world.

Did my daughters tuesday and no issues. Who knows?

I have been seeing alot more as well, online stores had them on sale over the weekend and I have 1000, coming not on backorder. Seems to be turning the corner somewhat. I have not been looking for reloading stuff lately though.

Ah hes back good deal, if you make it here for Jan you should have some great spots. Keep my PM and let me know.

Looks like a great trip with Dad. Dirt bikes rock!

Ooops, Jacky saw the add, if she calls just play like you dont speak english. I vote I pack that little mare, I wont need a step stool like with my mule.

For a guy with 3 posts there is some great advise. I sent a PM with no response so I say if this guy doesnt jump back in soon I will be dumping my advise!!!! Like Edge said he follows through, something to be said for that.

Deadline to apply for spring draw is Oct. 14, 2014 As the Oct. 14 deadline approaches to apply for spring 2015 hunts for turkey, javelina, buffalo and bear, the Arizona Game and Fish Department has been receiving questions from constituents asking if they need to buy "a 2015 hunting license" in order to apply for the spring 2015 draw. With the establishment of the new license structure this year, licenses (other than short-term licenses) are now valid for one year rather than just for the calendar year. Therefore, to apply for a draw you now only need a "valid" hunting license or combination hunt/fish license, as long as that license is valid as of the deadline for that draw. If you already bought your license this year, it most likely will satisfy the license requirement in order to apply for the spring 2015 draw. Check the dates of your current license. If you haven't yet purchased a license this year, you'll need to buy one either online, at a Game and Fish office, at an authorized license dealer, or through the draw process at the time you’re applying for the draw. Keep in mind, however, that you need to have a valid license when you are in the field for your hunt. If your current license expires before your hunt, you'll need to purchase a new license before you go on your hunt. As an example, if you bought your license from a license dealer on Jan. 1, 2014, it would be valid for 365 days and would therefore be valid when you apply this year for the 2015 spring draw. However, if you are drawn and your hunt is in mid February 2015, you'll need to buy a new license before you go out on your hunt (or for that matter, if you want to do any hunting after the expiration of your existing license). In the past, when all licenses expired at the end of the calendar year, sportsmen who applied for spring hunts were accustomed to purchasing their next year's license in advance. Hunters will now need to remember when their license expires. It is the hunter's responsibility to make sure that they have a valid license any time they go hunting. One way to make the process easier is to get on a yearly cycle of purchasing a new license. If you don't already have your hunting or combo license but need to buy one, licenses are valid for one year, but there are different options depending on how you buy your license: If you buy your license from a license dealer or through the online draw application process, your start date (the date your license becomes valid) will be the date you purchase the license. If you buy your license through the paper draw application process, your start date will be the published deadline date for that draw. If you buy your license separately at www.azgfd.gov/eservices/licenses.shtml or from a Game and Fish office, you can name your own start date up to 60 days beyond the date you purchase it, and it will be valid for one year from that date. (If you already have a license and want to buy a new one, you can buy it 60 days prior to the expiration of your existing license and request the start day to run consecutively after the expiration of your existing license. As an example, anyone who bought their license on or with a start date of Jan. 1, 2014, would be able to buy their new license as early as Nov. 1, 2014 and designate the start date as Jan. 1, 2015.) Copies of the 2015 Spring Turkey, Javelina, Buffalo and Bear Hunt Draw Information booklet are available at license dealers, at Game and Fish offices, or online at www.azgfd.gov/draw.
