    Crazy unique rack. Out of pure curiosity and scoring practice on a unique rack, what does he score?

    How's the AZGFD E-Tag app?

    Definitely the wave of the future. Most should try it, before you knock it. Azgfd may be ahead of the curve on this one. It could potentially, in the long term, save some $$. I have no doubt, that in the future, you will be able to purchase otc tags online too. That would be a huge convenience, especially for the guys who wait til the last minute.

    How's the AZGFD E-Tag app?

    It always was easy, but even easier now. I also like the fact that maybe some more harvest surveys will get filled out. It is a step in the right direction imo. More harvest data = more accurate counts. Mandatory reporting and check in would be ideal, but may be a long way off or never happen. It used to be kind of a pain to have 4 or 5 tags in your pack and have to keep shuffling them around depending on which pack or animals I planned to encounter. Also just had an instance on Thursday where a buddy's paper pig tail got a little wet from the rain and it was an absolute pain to peel off the backing to apply it to the pig. I managed to get enough sticky left on the tag to attach it, but it was close to no bueno.

    How's the AZGFD E-Tag app?

    Easy to use, but there are a few drawbacks. You have to go to AZGFD to buy your tags. I was told that in the future they may implement kiosks at dealers to streamline the buying process tho. You need to carry some way to attach your validation number to the animal. I grabbed some large stickers from game and fish and carry a sharpie in my pack. After you Etag an animal, it will then give you a # that you need to write on something and attach it to the horn or carcass. I do like how all my tags are shown in the app and I do not need to remember to grab all my tags (deer, lion, turkey, javelina, bear) I will continue use the Etag process

    Jan javelina activity?

    The Javelina we found yesterday were all bedded up in the sun @ 3pm. Terrible weather yesterday, but managed to get a pig and a shot at a muley for my out of state buddies. Javelina have a relatively small range, after a good rain storm, put in some boot miles in an area where you have seen them and try and narrow down their range. Once you find a herd or 2, the hunting will last for years and years. No need to hike miles away from roads unless you like that sort of thing. Most of the herds I hunt are spotted from high points off of roads and then stalked into and killed.

    Azfg Site down??

    I asked them about this. Sounds like possibly some electronic kiosks may start going into some of their dealers.

    Budget Rangefinder?

    I'd rather buy a new rangefinder every 5 years than own a vortex that is surely gonna give out on you during a hunt. Most companies do not offer lifetime warranties on electronics. I have owned most of them and now use a sig 5k. I used to have a sig 2000 that worked great until I wanted to upgrade for the extra features of the 5k. I really liked my Leica's as well, but they used to have a hard time ranging my black archery target. Not sure if they fixed that, it was the first 2 series of the crfs and the older lrf that had issues. I avoid anything that has the name vortex on it, too many warranty issues.

    Been screwed over by Todd Rice Sonoran Outfitters?

    No one deserves to be screwed over. If anyone can learn anything from this, do your research before you drop $$ on something. In todays information age, a quick google search can go a long ways.

    2023-24 archery deer tracking

    I used my E-tag recently. Could not have been easier. I think the E-tags are really convenient. Closures show up fine on my app.

    Lapua brass ordering caution ⚠️

    Literally hundreds of scam reloading sites... If everything is in stock, you are getting 👉👌 by a 🤏🍆
  17. I received mine about a week ago and have been putting it thru the paces. This thing is nothing short of awesome, especially for it's size. I have shot rifle, handgun and archery on it and it has recorded every shot with 0 misses or false readings. Set up was easy and the data organizing on the phone app is easy to sort thru. If anyone is looking for a new chrono, I highly recommend getting this new Garmin.
  18. I mean, if guys want to give you money for the giveaway, won't they just get your info and send you money? Why involve Gofundme? One quick suggestion that may help this give away is to give the rifle away sooner. I remember thinking this year, that the timeframe of youth hunts vs. winner's being drawn, left little time to get used to their new rifle.

    6.5 creemoor loads

    I am in the process of building a rifle for my son and I. I am planning on shooting 130's out of a 20" suppressed. Should be a great rifle to get some trigger time behind, as well as a medium game Hammer. Based on a couple buddies that use the 130's, I am going to give H4350 and Varget a go.

    Loaner guns for kids hunts

    Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

    Some 3A BS

    ALL hunts..... Colorado, Utah, wyoming, North Dakota, Az Otc deer. Opportunity is less and less, cost is more and more.
  23. HuntHarder

    Some 3A BS

    Lots of people... Cost is only a deterrent for some. Ak hunts have Bern sky rocketing for years with little to no slow down. Hunting, in general, has gotten outrageous. Pretty much every out of state hunt I try for, has gone up significantly in cost, but the draw odds or available slots has decreased..

    Abundance of quail

    Best year I've personally experienced. Threw my 20 ga. In while scouting and deer hunting and got plenty of action. Birds were holding extremely tight and they were literally everywhere.
