    New Cardinal's QB

    Rumor has it they are going to use their picks to strengthen the O line and get a few receivers. Then they are going to pick up Kapernick after the draft is over to be the QB.

    New Mexico tags

    You can hunt any unit for turkeys. I'm starting in 23. You can hunt any unit for turkeys. I'm starting in 23. Almost any unit. There are a few closed areas and a few draw areas. Good luck in 23. I am going to hit 16c and/or 9.

    New Mexico tags

    I will wait to buy mine. Kind of worried if the license vendors are going to have the carcass tags. I may just go to the Albq. office and buy them to make sure I get the carcass tags. Now if only I can remember where that tank is down in the Gila.

    AZGFD

    So how is it bad customer service to send you to a web site that might answer your questions? How about looking at the web site and then sending an e-mail, that can be answered at their convenience, if you still have questions. I know right now in NM they are getting ready to do elk studies on cow/calf and bull/cow ratios and may not have the data that you are asking for yet. Put yourself in their shoes. Maybe they do need some training at the front desk, but maybe you are the 50th person that day that has called for the same reason. My wife being a trial attorney gets calls at all times and all days from "clients" without regard to the fact she might be getting ready for a trial on a different case. Basically she has had to get a personal cell phone and turn her business phone off at 5 PM. I can understand why they won't give out numbers.

    Apps in

    At 5 PM Mountain Daylight time. We just jumped ahead so don't forget we are an hour ahead of AZ. I put in for a rifle coues hunt as first choice, if I get drawn (50-50 chance) it will be the first time in 30 years I have hunted big game with a rifle. If not my second choice is archery. Now the wait begins to April 25th.

    Stolen Trailor

    Thieves don't use Dodge vehicles....They want to make sure it gets away . No in all seriousness this sucks, we have trailers stolen here all the time but usually it is cargo trailers like sold at Tractor Supply, Home Depot or car carriers.

    Mod 70 .300 Win *new pics last price drop*

    The model 70 looks like a Super Grade as my Classic Deluxe does not have the black on the fore end.

    Sight and rest

    QAD Ultrarest Hunter. No problems with it even though it doesn't have all the bells and whistles at about $80 but it works great for a hunting bow. The sight I am upgrading to is about $220 so out of the $150 price range but it is the Black Gold Ascent. It is a 5 pin sliding rest. That way I will have a 20-60 yard fixed window and be able to adjust for farther if needed to practice.
  10. Luckily the money was still in the bank and not spent on new gear. I get a refund since we have to pay first, then I get to go buy new stuff.

    Would you rather

    Don't want the sheep tag because then I would have to get the slam and don't have the money or time for that.

    Florida and Governor Rick Scott

    After reading most of this here are a few things to consider: Private business has already raised the age they are going to sell. Wally world has a sign that you now have to be 21 to purchase rifles, muzzleloaders, and ammunition. You have to be 21 to purchase a handgun and handgun ammunition, the 18 is only rifles and shotguns. Peckers is no longer going to sell "assault rifles". Our CCW license is only available to those over 21. I believe the age restrictions are federal laws. If so the state can't infringe on what is provided by the federal government, they can give us more rights and protections but they can't take our federal protections away. Parenting and teaching kids would be the best way to prevent this. Look at all the violent video games where you get to kill people and start over, it probably started with the generation of Mortal Kombat. We just had a murder here where the kids were 15 and 16, they stole the gun. It was a handgun they couldn't have had legally otherwise. The media has a gun ban mentality and this is what they report on. How many DWI crashes kill people and I don't see the media blaming the cars, or the alcohol, remember the 18th and 21st amendment to the constitution and how well that worked out. The governor and the state of FL are not going to be able to stop the problem. The ban is a knee jerk reaction to a problem that the fix is going to have to start in the home.
  13. You can still put cams out around waterholes. The only power G&F has is to regulate them as to hunting. That means they can say you can't use the image off a game cam, or use it to aid you in patterning game for hunting purposes. Otherwise they have no authority to regulate them. It is up to the land use agency on how the land is used. That means each individual forest service district can set regulations on game cameras. The only national policy I know of from the FS is illegal in a wilderness area. I don't think BLM has a policy on them but you need to check with each land management agency.
  14. Does this mean my hacking the ICE cameras to scout Coues in border units was for nothing?

    Hunters education ???’s

    What about the states that don't issue cards? NM has gone to a cardless system where you log into your Customer Identification number and it shows your hunter ed number. Mine shows my CIN #, HE#, and HE Instructor #. Besides my original HE# was issued in 1978 so I guess it is not past 1980.

    Interesting BAN!!!

    It is a common area for all to use. There are many other forms of songs that are much more offensive. Are they going to ban them?
  17. The draw results will be April 25th but last year we got e-mails a week or two before the official results. I have no idea on how long refunds will take. I would guess no later than 2 weeks after the draw results. Maybe the first week of May would be my guess.

    Taxes and Trump

    We will still have to pay about $10,000. If I could only talk the wife into making the quarterly payments higher.

    Hunter mistaken for a coyote

    Wait until the mass media frenzy about the fact it was an AR-15 style rifle. You need to identify your target before shooting.

    Here we go again! Dicks Sporting goods and others

    Assault weapon is likely a variant to assault rifle, made up by the media. Assault rifle is a term from a DOD contract for an infantry weapon capable of selective fire, semi-auto and full auto, and firing an intermediate powered cartridge. The media likes to throw this term around to describe semi-auto only rifles even though a specification for an assault rifle per the government contract to produce them was full auto capability. The media seems to prefer running their mouths to doing their homework. The better variant would be anti-assault weapon or rifle. Because if I am being assaulted with deadly force I am using mine to stop the assault. All the Mauser 1898's my BIL had were technically "assault" weapons because they were used by military forces. That being said they are all bolt actions, with magazines less than 10 rounds.
  21. Sent you a PM on Coues, as far as Barbary the majority of the herd is in the SE part of the state with a lot of private land. If you want to buy a year round tag look at Water Canyon over by Grants and Mount Taylor or Largo Canyon up by Farmington. There is a reason they are year round tags as there are some but not many sheep over there but small pockets of sheep if you take the time to find them.

    Here we go again! Dicks Sporting goods and others

    I know why I don't shop at Dick's Sporting goods. I thought Sportsman's Warehouse still sold them. Besides "assault weapon" is a bs term that doesn't exist, the media made it up.

    Police: Son knocked dad out in fight over dinnertime texting

    My wife was a surprise baby. Her sister is 17 years older and her brother would be 16 years older, but he is in a vegetative state ( family fight to have life support withdrawn). Her father was 52 and her mother 44 when she was born. I don't know what would have happened to me because I was smart enough, or scared enough, not to find out. I know my friends dad had it right "I brought you into this world, I will take you out" is what I heard him say once.

    1 Day!!!

    Wait---You mean draw results will be out soon?
  25. One thing I know of is China is making knock off Rage heads. They almost look identical in packaging. So beware of any broad head bought off e-bay or anywhere at a steep discounted rate. Not saying this is what happened just want to put the information out there.
