Thanks

My 11 year old boy and I were invited to be on Fox10 last Tuesday. We are in the process of adopting a little boy from Bulgaria, and my son has been doing double-dog dares to help raise support. Thought I would share what we are up to, and see if anyone on here has ever done an international adoption before. I would love to hear stories of anyone with experience. We are pretty early in the process, waiting for our home study to be finished. Here is a link to my sons facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/www.reecesrainbow.org?ref=bookmarks And here is a link to the news clip. http://www.fox10phoenix.com/clip/10887966/double-dog-dare-boy-raises-money-to-help-adopt-bulgarian-child Makes me feel good as a dad to have a son with so much faith and compassion.

Boy, this is a tough one...

I know someone looking. I sent him your info. Great bow.

I'd be interested. I'll have to look to see what I have. Probably have a box of .06 somewhere. I'm in camp verde and could meet up this weekend. Let me know.

I am hoping someone looking to make some great memories with their kids or hunting buddies could use this wall tent. I have some fond memories of hunting with my dad and brothers, camping for deer hunts in cold weather, but waking up to a warm tent and cooking up some hot chocolate. Man, great times. Time has come to let someone else create some great memories. Tent is 10x12 with 4 foot walls. Heavy canvas. Has enough poles to set it up. Has almost all the pegs, ropes, and stakes you might need. Does have some repaired holes from critters getting at it over the years. Wood stove included, with 6 sections of pipe. Has zippered screen across the entrance. The tent has been well taken care of, but is used. It just needs someone willing to Take care of it and give it some TLC and it will be great for another 30 years. I also have 2 or 3 aluminum cots that I would include if desired. Send me a pm or reply if interested. Tent calls camp verde home. Asking $650. Darren

Finally found out. Drew 6A October.

Headache I believe.

I think what he's trying to say...is that a bus at 35 mph running you over kills you better than a Ferrari a running you over at 100 mph... Because as anyone knows the Ferrari will obviously be going slower than the bus due to the drag co-efficient thereby only appearing to move faster. It's Einsteins inverse - square law in reverse.

Could you do that to my wife's card?

XD .45...don't leave home without it.

Ok perfect. I can call you tomorrow and will be in Phoenix Monday.

I'd call you except I'm sitting in a ground blind with my 10 year old waiting for javelina to come by... Darren

Very interested. Where are you located?

I have a friend that lost his rights due to an issue when he was a kid, now, 20 years later he has a rifle bull tag and never had his rights restored. He is planning on archery hunting, but the discussion came up about black powder possibilities. Anyone know anything about this? Could he hunt with a black powder rifle? Any thoughts (constructive)? Thanks

Man, thanks for all your thoughts. I don't have an accurate answer yet, but I think he will have to look over the language in his legal paperwork. I did find some info, but it is confusing... From the ATF: 1. Can a person prohibited by law from possessing a firearm acquire and use a black powder muzzle loading firearm? The Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA) prohibits felons and certain other persons from possessing or receiving firearms and ammunition (“prohibited persons”). These categories can be found at 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) and (n) in http://atf.gov/publications/download/p/atf-p-5300-4.pdf. However, Federal law does not prohibit these persons from possessing or receiving an antique firearm. The term “antique firearm” means any firearm (including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system) manufactured in or before 1898. The definition includes any replica of an antique firearm if it is not designed or redesigned for using rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition, or uses rimfire or conventional centerfire ammunition which is no longer manufactured in the United States, and which is not readily available in ordinary channels of commercial trade. Further, any muzzle loading rifle, shotgun, or pistol which is designed to use black powder or black powder substitute, and which cannot use fixed ammunition, is an “antique firearm” unless it (1) incorporates a firearm frame or receiver; (2) is a firearm which is converted into a muzzle loading weapon; or (3) is a muzzle loading weapon which can be readily converted to fire fixed ammunition by replacing the barrel, bolt, breechblock, or any combination thereof. See 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(3), (a)(16). Thus, a muzzle loading weapon that meets the definition of an “antique firearm” is not a firearm and may lawfully be received and possessed by a prohibited person under the GCA. In addition, the GCA defines the term “ammunition” to mean “ammunition or cartridge cases, primers, bullets, or propellant powder designed for use in any firearm.” Because an “antique firearm” is not a “firearm,” it would is lawful for a prohibited person to receive or possess black powder designed for use in an “antique firearm.” Also, the Federal explosives laws do not make it unlawful for a prohibited person to acquire and possess black powder in quantities not exceeding fifty pounds if it is intended to be used solely for sporting, recreational, or cultural purposes in “antique firearms.” See 18 U.S.C. § 845(a)(5) By contrast, a prohibited person may not receive or possess black powder firearms that can be readily converted to fire fixed ammunition by replacing the barrel, bolt, breechblock, or any combination thereof. ATF has classified certain muzzle loading models as firearms. All of these models incorporate the frame or receiver of a firearm that is capable of accepting barrels designed to fire conventional rimfire or centerfire fixed ammunition. These muzzle loading models do not meet the definition of “antique firearm” as that term is defined in 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(16), and are “firearms” as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(3). Furthermore, as firearms, these and similar models, regardless of the barrel installed on the firearm or provided with the firearm, are subject to all provisions of the GCA. Persons who purchase these firearms from licensed dealers are required to fill out a Firearms Transaction Record, ATF Form 4473, and are subject to a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check. Felons and other prohibited persons may not lawfully receive or possess these firearms or ammunition. The following is a list of weapons that load from the muzzle and are classified as firearms, not antiques, under the GCA, because they incorporate the frame or receiver of a firearm:- 2 - • Savage Model 10ML (early, 1st version) • Mossberg 500 shotgun with muzzle loading barrel • Remington 870 shotgun with muzzle loading barrel • Mauser 98 rifle with muzzle loading barrel • SKS rifle with muzzle loading barrel • PB sM10 pistol with muzzle loading barrel • H&R/New England Firearm Huntsman • Thompson Center Encore/Contender • Rossi .50 muzzle loading rifle This list is not complete and frequently changes. There may be other muzzle loaders also classified as firearms. As noted, any muzzle loading weapon that is built on a firearm frame or receiver falls within the definition of a firearm provided in 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(3). Finally, even though a prohibited person may lawfully possess an antique firearm under Federal law, State or local law may classify such weapons as “firearms” subject to regulation. Any person considering acquiring a black powder weapon should contact his or her State Attorney General’s Office to inquire about the laws and possible State or local restrictions. A list of State Attorney General contact numbers may be found at www.naag.org.

This thread reminds me why I shoot a bow....my head is spinning.

Interested in your 15x56 binos. Could you text any better pics to 928-301-3250. Pm sent a little while ago. Thx, darren

Good luck Steve...whak a giant 11 pt.

Whichever shows himself first...

Boy, the self righteousness of some of the comments on this thread are discouraging. So many pass judgement and speak of things hey do not know enough about. First, the distance from which an animal is shot is only 1 factor in a very complex equation sometimes. I do agree bad decisions are made by hunters at times, and that most of us should slow down in the heat of the moment and be more patient. Second, I think the biggest mistake made by some archers is not spending enough time in the offseason shooting and getting more comfortable with their equipment. If enough time is spent with today's amazing archery equipment, some remarkable shots can be made. I have seen them, and made some myself. Third, it is not just archery hunters that are often too lazy to spend enough time looking for a wounded animal. At my age I think I can safely say too many people are too lazy period. Fourth, it is only because of forums like this that it is even possible for us to know of all these wounded and/or lost bulls. If we could not communicate across the state in an instant, we would certainly know much less. Point is, maybe less bulls are wounded today than ever before, we just have a way of knowing about the ones that are. FYI, on my last archery bull hunt I wounded six bulls all at over 100 yards before I finally killed the seventh. Boy was I glad too, I was running out of arrows...ok, not really, that's a lie...they were all over 200 yards... Twoguns

Sweet bull and great story. Glad for you that dad was able to enjoy it with you, always makes it memorable!
