I have drawn back-to-back Kaibab tags in the past, and also waited 8 years between tags. My last two rifle hunts I drew early season Kaibab tags in 2012 and 2014. All depends on how lucky you are in the random draw.

I got it ordered and paid for today. I will pick it up on Monday for you. We can meet up whenever you get back, good luck on your hunt. 1-19-14 I got your 4# picked up today. Talk to you soon.

I saw a javelina today walking down the access road for the 101 right at 49th Ave. Heading for the wash behind my house.

One time price drop to $700.

So do I throw it away or send it in??? Since it is not a legitimate survey, and an error, pitch it. If it was correct, fill it out and send it in. But I like DesertBull's suggestion too.

Just got off work. I will go down tomorrow morning first thing when they open and check for you. It is only 4 miles away, so no big deal, plus it gives me a reason to go peruse the shelves again. Oh, and I got my ladder test loads made up tonight. From 41.0gr. to 44.5gr. of H4350 in .5 grain increments. I also heard 1 to 2 weeks for completion of the rifle.....I giggled like a little girl when I got that news update.

I got an archery questionnaire, and my October rifle hunt questionnaire came back in December. Filled them both out honestly online, as I feel it is very important to do my part in helping the Game and Fish get correct numbers on the yearly take of game. Also completed my 2014 javelina questionnaire, and my daughters javelina and elk ones too. People complain about the G&F with tag increases or decreases, but without the hunters honest answers on surveys, they have to make guesses on the animals taken the year before. And then we cry for mandatory reporting, while others throw them in the trash without submitting information. How does that help G&F?

Got my tickets reserved for tomorrow night.

I know junipers can grow extremely slowly. Here is a photo of a juniper stump I took in Nevada. It was only 6" in diameter, but look at the growth rings. Over 110 growth rings. I can see that tree being 130 years old easily. And since they grow so slowly, it is quite possible the rifle was laid against it when it was small. With the wind moving the tree, the rifle would have wiggle room to not get stuck and the tree grow around it.

If I sit towards the back of the cab, I don't ever have a problem. If I get in the middle, I have heard and felt a slight pop, but it returns when I realize I am too far forward and move back. Hence the weight limit disclaimer.

I use a folding stool for glassing when near (within 1/2 mile) my truck. When I am packing around, I use a pad. Very lightweight, and works fine. Just throw it on a stump/log and you are off the ground. When it is really windy, staying closer to the ground is more stable, and the pad can easily be thrown right on the dirt. You can see my daughter's pad on the backpack. They weigh less than a pound, but sure make sitting on the ground/stump more comfortable for long periods. For really elevated glassing to see up over tall bushes/trees, I bring along a mobile elevated platform. But they can get pricey, and weight limit is right around 155#.

I remember well when fall turkey was legal to hunt with .22Mag rim fire and center fire cartridges. Not that I ever did it, but it made longer shots on turkeys easier. That is probably why they quit allowing it. It is easy to stay within 70 yards of a flock of turkeys if you do not pressure them too much. Out of reach of a shotgun, and most archer's range too.

Love that movie. But you left part of that note out....about "Lord hope it to be a......" My other favorite quote was when JJ woke up on fire, and the Bear Claw said, "Didn't put enough dirt down. I saw it right off", then rolls back over and goes to sleep.

So I was in Bruno's last week Monday, and they had a bunch. I didn't buy it then (shame on me). Went back in that Wednesday and it was all gone. The guys said they might not see it again for a year, because it took them 10 months to get the last batch in. Went back in today for something (don't even remember what, as I got all excited about the H4350 and left without looking for whatever it was that actually made me stop in), and there is was on the shelf. The Holy Grail.....not a bad price @ $30/lb. either, when the stuff is like unicorn tears....only heard about in fairy tales and cures poor accuracy like magic. Not sure how much more they have, if any, as they just unpacked it an hour before I got there, and there was only one left on the shelf when I left. They might have more in stock, but just not out on the floor. But it might be gone too. I can swing by tomorrow and see if you want. If so, I can pick some up for you and we can meet up. Just pay me back what I spent and I am good with that. Let me know.

Awesome story. My Dad left my .270 Win against a tree about 8-10 years ago. When I picked him up, he forgot it, and we were back at camp 10 miles away before I noticed it was not in the truck. When I asked him, it is one of the very few times I have heard him cuss. It was still there at first light the next day.

Ernesto, I am with you. I keep a small spiral notebook and pen in my pack. One time, my cousin forgot to sign his elk tag (1999-the last time I had an elk tag) and we got stopped by G&F as we were just heading out for the morning. He was cool and let my cousin sign it in front of him. Good thing I had a pen, as he was not hunting legally.

Mike, what unit?

Happiness is....finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.....or some H4350 in stock locally. Plus, I qualified in a shooting tournament and won a free custom cleaning rod, so I ordered a 42" rod for the new build after discussing the rifle with Denny. This guy is super nice, and super quick to respond too. I also won half off a Rock Creek Match barrel....guess I have a new build in my future.

I use mine for almost all of my rifle transportation now. And I paid WAY more than $50 for it.

I just measured my 24" barrel non-collapsible stock AR. It is 42.5" long. So anything under a 24" barrel, or one with a collapsible stock will fit this bag. They are bulletproof (not literally).

If it is a standard AR, or one with a collapsible stock it should fit. I have a double drag bag just like this in a 48" (I just measured mine) length and I can fit a 26" barreled Rem 700 LA with muzzle break in just fine.

Why? Because for every one you see, there are 20-40 more you don't. And coyotes are the species that kills more game, both large and small, than any other. Predator control is very necessary in AZ, as the coyote populations are out of control. Don't believe me? Look at the antelope annual survival rate for fawns. The coyotes sit around and wait for them to drop, then are on them as soon as they hit the ground. And anyone who says coyotes don't take healthy mature animals is mistaken. The more people who predator hunt, the better.

I think the above poster is correct. Just go to G&F and have them re-issue your tag in his name.

Bruno's Shooting Supply on Central and Deer Valley will too. I think they charge a minimal fee. I heard someone ask when I was in there a few months ago. Also, you call Randall's on Olive and 59th Ave.

Almost any early rifle bull tag, and any antelope tag. Just be warned....it CAN happen.
