    Points Question

    20%, nice! Yeah, I honestly thought it was 10%. Good to know. By the way, if you are talking pronghorn....good freaking luck with 5.

    Points Question

    I don't want to ruin the fun here, but if you are serious, you are WAY off on how the draw works. Depending on species choice (I am assuming elk), you have 4 BPs going into this draw. If you are unsuccessful, you will be issued another BP, and have 5 BPs going into next year. Now, you can put in for up to 5 hunt choices. No matter whether you have 0 BPs or 30 BPs. You will be issued a random number for each of your BPs and one for this year's application. So totaling 5 numbers. Let's say you are given #s 1017, 2032, 5089, 8591, 19001 for your "lottery" numbers. The Bonus round goes for the top BP holders, up to 10% of the available tags for their units of choice. Unless you are putting in for cow elk hunts in bad units, you more than likely will not be in the bonus pass. Next is the first pass. They will start at #1, and whoever has #1 will get their 1st choice. #2 next, and so on. But, they ONLY look at choices 1 & 2 in the first round. By the time they get to your #1017, they will look at your 1st and 2nd choices. If there are tags left, you get a tag. If not, you are reissued a random number for the 2nd pass, where they look at choices 3 thru 5. Not usually many tags left in the 2nd round. Low population units, limited opportunities, cow hunts maybe, etc. Hardly ever any bull hunts in the 2nd round. For me, I only put in two choices. Edit: Nevermind. You are looking for GoHunt draw odds. I can't read for $#!t sometimes. Use 5 points. 4 BPs plus the application.

    New Hunters

    For big game hunting, I can think of 9. Add small game and bird hunting, add about 6 or 7 more. I hopefully have one new guy this year, my nephew, if he draws a tag. He is getting out of the navy this year, and I have been waiting for his first hunt for 14 years. Plus, my two young granddaughters will be hunting in 7 and 8 years from now! So can't wait for that too! Last, my future son-in-law just joined the USAF, left for boot 2 weeks ago, and has 6 years of service to go. But, I bought him a license this year and started building BPs for him, so when he gets home, will have 7 BPs waiting for him. It is kind of weird, because his mom & step dad hunt, but have never taken him.

    Could not care less. I don't watch any professional sports.

    Wife and I doubled yesterday

    If sold and licensed as a pistol, it will.always be a pistol, and cannot have a butt stock installed. Nothing ever said or written about the use of a bipod. Is it really any different than this? An SBR (short barreled rifle) will need a $200 ATF tax stamp, and can have a butt stock. But cannot be considered a "pistol". So could not be used as a pistol on a HAM hunt. Get your definitions straight. This is 100% a pistol by definition. Next on the gripe list will be the new in-line smokeless powder muzzle loaders... Nice job Adam and Mrs. Big Brown. And Adam....her pig is bigger than yours...

    Stolen Hunting Rig - Recovered!

    Is "big trash pick up" going on in his neighborhood? Maybe a "blight" complaint by a neighbor? 🤣

    WTB 280 Ackley Brass

    Unless you plan on taking it to Mexico, no reason not to fire form your own. Work up an accurate fire forming load, and shoot them for practice, and even hunt with them. I do it quite often.

    Weimaraner For Stud Out!!!

    Possibly my next dog will be a Weim. I am a GSP guy, but love the Weims too.

    This day in history...

    The "Gadsden Purchase". I have a lot of family in Douglas/Bisbee. So I know that name well. Beautiful Gadsden Hotel in Douglas too. Great restaurant in the hotel.

    Overpressure! Especially in a belted case that does not headspace off the shoulder. That is significant, not just a bit of shine. Have you measured your freebore/lands? How long since you cleaned it? Thoroughly. Oil in the chamber? Carbon ring? Load recipe? Velocity? How much is your shoulder growing from new/fired? FL bumped back to?

    Can you kill sows and cubs now???

    I am reading that like: You can shoot any bear with the following exceptions: A sow with cubs A cub with sow So, (IMO) no. You cannot shoot a sow with a cub, or a cub with a sow. I do see how the misprint could confuse a newer hunter. But, you are supposed to read the regs and know your legal game animal.

    CW Long Range Meet Up: January 30, 2021

    Had a blast. Didn't pull a trigger until about 10:00-10:30 when the fog finally lifted. All we could see was the 100 yard zero target. Once the fog burned off, the steel started ringing, from 431 to 1068. Even with the wind, the hits just kept coming. Good spotters and wind calls helped keep hit percentages high. Lots of glass and guns out there. I only got a few photos, was too busy spotting and shooting.

    Brunos

    Nope. That was one I was looking for. 200.20x Hyb, 205 Elite, 208 LR Hyb, 210 HVLD, 220 LR Hyb, 230 OTM, 245 EOL though.

    Brunos

    Not sure on price. I was there looking for bullets. 1#ers are going up in price though. So I would think 8#ers are following suit. Get it while you can.

    Found

    Hornady? You looking to replace some current brass? Or getting started with new load development?

    AZGFD please get a better IT Team

    Just to keep track of your apps, draw results and hunts, bonus points, etc. Easier than calling every time you want to find out. Plus, you usually see results sooner than calling in.
  23. lancetkenyon

    AZGFD please get a better IT Team

    Probably because there has not been a draw yet, so it is not showing that you have applied and gotten results. Mine does this every year. Same with this year. I have the receipts with a confirmation # for each app I applied for this year.

    Put in for 8 hunts on Saturday without a hitch.

    SOLD - Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor (SR Primer Pocket) Brass

    Easy to neck these down for 25CM or 6CM too. Same brass I use in my 6CM before Lapua released the 6 brass. Ditch the crappy Hornady brass and buy the best.
