There really only concerned with hunters. Recreational campers will most likely get a pass.

Not sure where your headed out to but around here you might need flippers and a snorkel. Is it legal to shoot coyotes from a canoe?

Beauty. Good job. Thanks for sharing

Had to be the Perkins Ranch.

I can see their point. The FS is not the G&F, they're not there to make hunters happy, they're there to conserve the forest for everybody, hunters, fisher, hikers, backpackers, family campers, etc. I've known some hikers & backpackers that hate the cameras & would love to see them gone. I'm pretty sure the FS has received more than a couple complaints from non hunters regarding the stuff left behind by hunters. The simple solution: leave no trace. I'm carrying a climber with me this year on my backpacking hunt. I've never seen one of them pick up a beer can or cigarette butt. FS employees or hikers? I can't speak for everyone, but I very often end up carrying out more than I packed in, whether I'm hunting or just hiking. I'm not saying they're right for taking people's property, I'm just saying I can see the point. The forest is for everyone, not just hunters, & lots of people don't want to have their pics taken by our trail cams or see our treestands & blinds while they're out enjoying nature in their own way. Just another reason why I stay a considerable distance away from roads & hiking trails. The two cams I have out now both require a hike of over a mile to reach. FS. They like screwing with people and taking their s**t, but I've never seen one picking up some losers camp site trash I'm sure they drove by a multitude of old tires, televisions, discarded tinsel covered Christmas trees and hundreds of beer cans left behind by the non hunting crowd. You'd have a difficult time finding FS employees who hunt. Most likely their sense of entitlement is related closer to the fact that they think the forests belong to THEM and that we are just a nuisance they have to endure.

Havnt had a full day off work since some time in May. Bow is in the shop. Have no cams out. Havnt stepped foot in the hills in what seems like forever. That being said, come August 23 rd hopefully ill have my bow sighted in and ill be glassing or sit ting a tank with high hopes. Can't wait.

Saw some of you lucky SOBs headed out to both sides of the Deep Well this morning ... should be some pics soon I hope.

Im up to my eyeballs at work. Only have time to daydream about hunting. Need some pics so I can continue to live vicariously through you guys.

A long long time ago I purchased a White Muzzleloader 50 cal for my dad. He never used it and recently gave it back to me. I have most of the possibles that i gave him as well but no powder or bullets. What would be a good powder/bullet combo to start with? Would it make sense to convert it to take shotgun primers and pellets? Thanks.

Great video... I ended up watching more of your stuff. All excellent.

As a lifelong skeptic, I don't believe there is much of a future for hunting on public lands. Access will continue to shrink and it appears to me that G&F agencies have already started to make commitments to non-hunting based wildlife management. And as hunter recruitment goes down and more and more weekend warrior hunters move on to other hobbies, the dept will have no option but to raise fees exponentially to keep feeding its beauracratic machine. Then you have the issue of supply and demand. A larger population means more guys wanting those early bull and late deer tags. There has also been talk of antelope tags becoming once in a lifetime, as that species continues its steady decline due to habitat loss. My daughter has her first deer hunt this fall and I hope to enjoy as many as we can while we can.

I started mine in 1968. Its finally starting to look like something.

don't hang it in units 22 or 23 or 8 or 9 or 10 or 33 or 1 or 15c or 4a or 42m or....

In downtown Prescott today, Sheldon and Cortez approximately. Couldn't get in position to wave.

Ameristep here too. Also agree with the moving blanket idea. I used to use an old cloth camo sleeping bag. But someone stole it.

I've killed two coues with an ought 6. Including one with my dads old Remington 721. There's a reason why that cartridge has been around over 100 years.

Welcome do the downhill side.

Located in Paulden, AZ 5" sched 40 PVC electrical conduit. Gray. 20' long. 10 bucks a stick. 3 trailer axles I'll post pics when I get home from work. Message me for info.

That guy has been a thorn in my side as well. But the guy I'm talking about drives a white F-150, hes more like 45 and looks like me.

Since every time I've had a Sept archery tag the rut has been non-existent I'd have to say that I've had allot more opportunities on the November hunts. I've had quite a few of these and have one again this year in unit 8. Scout lots of different terrain and habitat. Have a few plans. Weather is key.

No idea if I've ever messed up someones hunt. Half of the time I've been messed up the other guy never knew I was there. That's public land hunting though and just part of the game. Once on a 23 Dec whitey hunt I sat down and started glassing. Little did i know I sat down like 10 feet in front of these other two guys who had gotten there before me. I was so focused on the opposite slopes that I never noticed them. They were cool and were laughing about it. I was embarrassed and quickly moved on.

I really appreciate all the input. After reading what every one has said I think I'm going to just keep it original as possible. Tough to beat the ol' ought 6 and I think shes got a few deer left in her still. Ill just replace the old Walmart Tasco scope my dad had stuck on there after he couldnt see the super fine crosshairs of the original K-4 anymore. Ill bring it into the local gunsmith here in town and have him check the barrel and clean it up real good. Its been sitting quite a while. Who knows it may become my go to gun when everything is all said and done. Thanks again guys.

I was kinda thinking the same thing. Maybe change the barrel and the trigger although a new stock would be nice too. Maybe a wood one with a little more interest to it. I was actually thinking about rebarreling it to a .270 or a 270 wsm.

tacos del oso negro... that sounds amazing. Guess Ill head over to Alfonso's for some tacos del question mark.
