    Anyone in 24B

    My son took his buddy out to 24b for a quick one day hunt and first time in 24b this year and they found a herd by 10 and he killed and then found another herd going out. So I would agree that they are there somewhere. Good luck!

    Big Coues Buck Hit! Need help....

    Too far of shot can lead in dramatic loss of energy and arrow wobble, reducing penetration as well, not just placement. I keep hearing about these 70+ yards shots or petty fair distance but one I"ve practiced, but I can't find my deer/elk etc. And then find dear animal a week later.. horns are good, but wasted meat..

    My son was shooting Norma 130 Accubonds really well through his savage.

    Green Chili Javelina

    This is hilarious, I was going to respond to this old post today too. I did the same thing over the weekend with 1 of our pigs from this year and had the same result. I did about 17 hours at 165, took the meat out and deboned and cut into smaller strips (it would not shred) so I put in back in the mix (submerged now) at 250 for another 4 hours and it came out super tender and moist. I wish I would have added a bit more seasoning (I did 2 jars of 505 roasted green chilis and 1 jar of 505 medium green chili mix) as it is a little bland but good, but a little hot sauce took care of that. I think tonight I'll fry a bit of it up with another can of green chilis and try that in tortilla. But it ate really well and the Packers won so all good! Thanks!
  11. I normally don't post stories on here, but since this was the 3rd time in 4 years my sons and I have gone 3/3 on opening morning I thought I would share that but the real story here is this is the first year they let me shoot first... I guess the time has come where they are looking out for me vs me looking out for them. Heck why not, I'll take it and thanks boys! Happy New Years all and good luck

    Max point number for each species?

    the combining thing is pretty cool idea... however I'd like to be able to split my antelope points. I'm still probably 10 years away from the any tag mark, but feel like holding on to too many to do put them all in for an archery hunt. I want one more (that would be 2 in my life) rifle hunt before I cash in....

    3rd time in 4 years - 3/3 opening am

    We have been blessed with good kids for sure! Never has been a competition for game and they enjoy watching stuff get hunted and being the glasser as much as being the one the trigger. The only exception was last year, my son did a ton of work to find a very nice bear in a very $hiT hole canyon.. him and I went in the next weekend (I think his 3rd or 4th trip in there and my 2nd) and I don't think there was a chance in he77 that he was going to give up the gun on that one and I wasn't about to even ask.. he put in all the effort, I got enjoy the stalk and kill through 15s! Other than that, it's a chip and dale usually.. "you go, no you go... "

    Son's first javelina

    Congratulations and well done!! Love the commitment!
  17. I'm hoping the G@F depts across the country are revisiting both muzzleloader regulations (1000 yard mls now) and handgun hunts. I'm assuming success rates have increased dramatically in both the last 5 years or so for all species. Not exactly as primitive as they once were.

    Colt Python is Back!!!

    That's me. I've been meaning to call Wes. I used to talk to him pretty regularly up until about a year and lost touch. I was at the savage plant last month and talked to a few guys about him He was spending a lot of time in ca but after he lost a few lines moved back here.

    Colt Python is Back!!!

    I was there from 92-03 (The Sportsman in the Pete Shepley days) and then Az Sportsmans when Glen and Shirley bought the then 3 stores in 93 from Pete (mesa, phx, and Glendale) then closed the West store and eventually opened the North store and bought the 2 Jensens stores in Tucson and eventually Shooters World. I managed the Camelback store for a year or two and then the Mesa store for 3 before I got out as the big boys were coming in and there was no way Glen was going to be able to last. I did a lot of the buying and ordering so Lots of shot shows and other buying shows along with rep and warehouse interactions and always enjoyed the products and customers. I still keep in touch with a few reps as well and started prostaffing for Vista outdoors the last 4-5 years and now with Savage since Vista sold them. I can't get industry out of my blood.

    3rd time in 4 years - 3/3 opening am

    Thanks all. Back at work and found the picture of the first time we did it 3 years ago so added. 2 years ago my sons were skinning theirs as I was getting on mine so no picture of the 3 together. Last year was rough with that snow on opening day and my one son and I played hooky on the first nice day and killed 2 and the other one made it a longer season but got it done the last weekend I think it was. Anyway, all good times and good luck to all!
