We are up to 11 pinned topics there is almost no room for regular topics anymore. Do these all really need to be pinned? Let's streamline again and get back to more current stuff on the first page. What do you all think?

Took a guy 2 weeks ago in 27. He killed a buck and quartered it to cool. Went back about 3 hours later to pack it out and the eagles had already reduced the ribs and spine to nothing. They found it fast!! Poor ravens didn't have a chance to get a snack! Might have been the same eagles!!

If you hand carry them, it doesn't matter what stripe they have. Red stripe are 2 years old though.

Go buy a Benelli SBE and see how many sight beads it has! All the better shotguns have two beads these days. No excitement, just puzzled me when I didn't have a sight picture as I threw my shotgun up. A single front bead is OK for wing shooting but you will not find a single competitive clays or trap shooter with a single front bead these days. In any event, I don't have a front bead but rather a big fiber optic front sight. I just went to look through my peep and it wasn't there. That split second hesitation was all it took! I was bummed as I had a perfect track record up to that point with my shotgun. My ONLY other miss at a coyote was when I accidentally loaded a slug instead of a shotshell and didn't aim fine enough. That's when I switched to the Truglos. I am going to drill and tap it for a rail so I can put an Aimpoint on it when I get a chance. Went out this morning, took the 17 only. Didn't call anything in but woodpeckers!!

I use that new topic button sometimes, but I prefer to see what's new only in the areas that I might be interested in. Might be better to have a section just for "important stuff" so if someone wants to go back and review stuff they can. I guess when you pinned Gino's rant it really turned me off.

I have never seen a shotgun that doesn't have sights??? What kind of a question is that? Now, there are a lot of shotguns without rear sights but pretty much anything new is going to have a rear bead as well as front bead. I have turkey sights on my gun because it shoots so tight. I have had no problems killing coyotes at 75 yds but this requires better sights than simply a front bead sight. There are myriad shotgun sights for turkey guns these days; red dot, fiber optic, dual beads and regular rifle sights. We'll see how it goes in the morning.

Sorry guys, you can't eat mulies in January and I already have one that size. Gotta be something special before I get excited about them. Now a 105 WT, I all about that!! I passed a couple of nice mulies in August too. I didn't want to end there either- I'm hopeless...

Another season come and gone. I snuck out one last day yesterday and man was it miserable. I did glass up a 180" buck at my first spot and it was an easy stalk but there was no way I was punching my 2011 tag on a carp in January! Didn't see any WTs over 75". Did see any piggies. Cold wind, snow, rain, hail... I can't wait until August! Now I can just concentrate on getting a piggie- have two more weeks!

If it's so important, why are there 3 or 4 of the topics that haven't been added too in 4 months? Sure, I can change the number of threads that i can see, but I can still only see so many on one page, when the pinned topics, that nobody uses, take up more space than the ACTIVE topics it just bothers me. People like to see dynamic things- log on, take a quick peak at what's new and go on.

I cannot view this website with either Chrome or Firefox. Anything Google related says it's an attack site-that some 3rd party has loaded malicicious code. ??? I have never run into this before. I couldn't bypass it either- had to resort to IE and type the name in myself.

My buddy had his full camo on and a Circe call hanging off his neck when we stopped at the credit union on the way home one day. The poor teller asked him what was hanging off his neck and he proceeded to blow a full series of rabbit distress sounds. The teller cried and we were kindly asked to leave the bank! I was totally dumbfounded when he did it! I guess that qualifies as "urban". As for shooting stuff in town, you can't even archery hunt inside city limits unless you have permission from police chief. So pretty much NO.

Are your brothers easy keepers? My brothers really don't like pastures and prefer heated/cooled barns...

I just tried now on Firefox and didn't get a warning. Guess it is cleaned up!

I told you they have 40 pounders!!!

Great to hear that. I have cerakote on another rifle and it is the real deal.

Who in Arizona does Cerakote applications?? Anyone local?

I went out last week or so with my dog to Saguaro lake. We were fishing and 'coon' hunting. She did pretty good!

It's not the law, it's a "policy" that they have in place. HUGE difference.

I am right behind you!

Wow!! I'll bet you are a fisherman too!!

I guess they are "local" thanks

OK, thanks Doug, I am hoping someone in Phx does it. I don't see myself driving to Parks in the near future!

I have seen a buck that had the right package but no antlers! This was during the December hunt so should have been month away from shedding time! My cousin killed a WT buck in unit 1 that had ivories! There is occasionally some weird stuff out there!

A frigid 32 here!

Actually, the Chrome-moly actions are no stiffer than any other action. They have a higher tensile strength and a greater yield strength but until that point is reached, no stiffer. They are easier to properly heat treat and ultimately stronger. That is their benefit. Bob Brackney is well regarded by those who know but no too well known. Too bad he's not in Mesa anymore!
