Just enforce the ones they already have....there's a novel idea.

Try Randall's Guns on 51st & Olive too. Or Bruno's. Or the interweb.

I was also a "guaranteed" draw for antelope this year, and had a real good chance at late rifle bull elk. But all I got were refund checks again. There is no "guaranteed" draw anymore.

I am 6' -5" and I could never dunk. Amazing athleticism!

It seriously gives me chills and brings a tear to my eyes that a group of people I have never met are sending up prayers for others. Truly God works in mysterious ways and the brotherhood we share with other believers around the world is amazing. My Dad got released today and is home. Already asking his doctors how soon he can go play golf........ Thank you all again. This group of people is truly amazing.

Prayers sure can do miracles. Surgery went perfect. No major damage to the heart from the heart attack. Arteries are in great shape. No open heart surgery needed. No bypass needed. Dad was in great spirits today, and he might get to go home tomorrow. Which means I get to go home tonight. Thanks to all for prayers that were sent upstairs. God is amazing. And my Dad is stubborn.

Nice shooting Harley!

That is awesome. Nice craftsmanship.

Both. I apply for rifle hunts, but buy an archery tag each January. I have passed more January deer than I should have, when I realize I didn't draw a rifle tag and then do not get an opportunity in Aug./Sept./Dec.

Yeah, the Irish Elk was a European member of the deer species about 7500 years ago. But that photo is a fake. I don't think they had that good of digital cameras back then.......

Is the motion sensor set too high? Are you getting photos from branches moving in the frame? I have absolutely no experience with game cameras, so just throwing it out there.

Federal Gold Medal Match. Match shooters and custom gunsmiths can't all be wrong.

Pass on him. I would think, and I stink at gauging pronghorn, that he is a mid 60s-70" buck?

F A K E But sure wish it was real!

Great buck! Thanks for sharing.

OP, you have been misinformed. There are no deer in AZ. Or elk. Or antelope. Just millions of coyotes. Go do your thing on them, and maybe the deer will come back to AZ.

Best of luck today. Prayers going out now to keep the hand of the surgeon steady.

It takes some real balls to confirm you have a tom while keeping the dogs in check and your blood pressure down.......literally.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

I had a couple of the Vortex Viper HS 4-16x50. I took mine out to 1327 on a coyote, and 1371 on steel quite often. They are really light weight, decent glass for the price point, good mechanics, and the warranty is second to none. I sold mine for $400 each when the time came to upgrade after a few years. They hold their value pretty well. I think the 50mm is worth the extra $30, even if it gives you 5 minutes more of hunting light. Those might be the 5 minutes that seal the deal on a big buck or bull. You can easily go to 1300+ with the .257 Weatherby on targets or varmints. The 16X will be enough to get you there just fine.

Great teaching techniques. My 12 year old daughter is a member of the "one and done" club for her big game hunting too. Javalina and bull elk. I did something similar, but will add my $.02. Started with .22s just like everyone. But, at the age of about 8, got her shooting my fairly heavy .223 AR. She probably had 500 rounds through it at least in the first 2 years. Started out at 25 yards, 50 yards, 100 yards. When she drew her first tags last year (at age 11), we really started putting some rounds downrange. We started shooting 400, 500, 600, 800+ yards with the .223. 850 yards is plenty doable with a .223, and it really helps with the basics when the gas gun is very light recoiling. I had her shoot just a few (maybe 2-3 per outing) of my .22-250, .250 Ackley, .25-06 Ackley out to 1000+, even at 1371. But never more than 3 shots. For her javi hunt in February, we planned on a long shot, and were ready with 3 different rifles at the glassing spot depending on where they came out and what range we might have a shot. Well, they came out at 400 yards, and we hustled over to get close. And a big boar finally presented a fantastic shot at......18 yards. For her bull elk hunt, I was actually building a .270WIN, but I just could not get it to do what I wanted. So I decided she would shoot my .300RUM (it has a brake). Here was my trick.....my .300RUM looks very similar to my .25-06 Ackley. Same finish, similar scopes, same color stock, etc. I told her she had shot it a couple times at the range and never seemed bothered by it......so no fear of the big gun. Come time to finally shoot her bull, no recoil fear, no nervous wondering. And we all know how it is shooting at game. You don't ever remember the recoil when shooting at game, right? So when her bull finally appeared, she ha no pre-conceived notion and very accurately put the round where it needed to go. She only commented on her ears ringing after the shot. So she still has no memory of any recoil from it, so she will be shooting it again this year, God willing a bull presents itself for a shot again. But she has put about 500 rounds downrange this year so far, and will be doing a lot more after it cools down in the Valley......with the .223 and my new 6.5 SLR. Deception and trickery are key!!! Just don't let the kids catch on.

If they are "International Commuters"......when in the heck are they going HOME?!?! Commuting has two-way traffic, to and from, not just TO. And you commute to go to WORK!!! Not to get free crap and stay.

That is cool!
