  3. I've used some earth oil in the past from Sportsmans, it's worked for me use it if you like but IMO its a waste of money nothing can beat a coyotes nose 10,000 time better than ours and most of your scent comes from your mouth anyway

    coyote down

    2nd stand this morning I didn't like the set up so I started to move farther away from the decoy and spotted this one coming in but he spotted me and I was thinking this stand was over. I kept playing cottontail distress and nothing was happening so I tried fox distress for about 10 sec then coyote fight for 10 did this for about 3 min and he came in at a full run looking to kick some butt. didn't work out for him

    Seeking Predator Calling Tips

    when im setting up for a stand I follow these simple rules always have the wind in your face even when driving to your hunting area the call and decoy set at 25 yds and either in a tree or bush height is your friend (decoy mojo critter) on ground unless its the wood pecker)) I use a shotgun so I stand to see further out shooting sticks a must guns do get heavy stands last 15-20 min then I pack it up and move on

    Good Areas South of Tucson

    any where in az is good goto habimapaz and look for the state trust areas 38m is shotgun only
  18. myself I would stay away from a synthetic stock since its too light and it transfers the energy back to the shooter look into a wood stocked 870 or if your willing to spend the money a berretta A400 shoots really smooth
  19. Southern Arizona Wildlife Callers Prairie Dog Silhouette Match Match: Match consists of 36 targets/40 shots in two stages of 18 targets/20 shots each. Stage time limit is 15 minutes. Shooters will be assigned to relays with the first stage of all relays fired before any second stages. Initial matches will have three banks of targets. A target must be knocked off the stand or if it lands on the stand must be off its feet/base to be scored as a hit. A target nicked or turned on the stand and still standing is a miss. Hitting a target on the wrong bank or hitting more targets at any distance than as shown in the course of fire will be scored as misses and count as part of the 20 shots per stage. Multiple target hits on one shot will be scored as one hit and the others are alibis. Shooter may engage targets in any order or distance but is limited to 20 rounds per stage including any alibis. There are two classes, Heavy Varmint (HV) and Light Varmint (LV). Shooter may enter each class or may enter the same class a second time if using a different rifle/handgun. A rifle entered in the LV class may be entered in the HV class. A rifle fired in the HV class must meet LV criteria to be used in the LV class. Stages are normally fired from the bench but the shooter may opt for other recognized positions or use shooting sticks/bipods if desired or handicapped. Shooter must use the same position throughout the relay. If targets are not available due to no fault of the shooter (e.g., not reset, wind, multiple hits on one shot or another shooter firing on the wrong bank), continue firing the stage and the Match Director will resolve the alibi. During an alibi shoot, only targets at distances that were not available during the normal stage may be engaged with a one minute per target time limit. Ties to be resolved by 5 shots in 10 minute shootoff stages by class at targets, distances and procedures to be determined by the Match Director. Shootoff stages to continue until winner is determined. Scoring to be done by spotters. Scoring challenges to be resolved by the Match Director. Match Director may prohibit any weapon or ammunition that is determined to be target destructive. Match targets will not be used for sight in or practice. All targets will be secured in the SAWC storage box after each match. Match Director may amend match procedures, course of fire or criteria as necessary for unique or unforeseen conditions. Match fees: $10.00 for first entry, $5.00 for second entry.
