Been hunting border units for 5 decades all the time hunting on foot covering miles a day. Seen the ground before trails and trash from crossers. Even found a lookout post the cartel had overlooking the Harshaw road. Can remember the first time I found a trash pile and was shocked how much garbage was dumped in one hidden draw I came upon. Would use the cow paths to get to varied hunting hot spots, it's amazing how pounded out those cow paths became after the smuggling started, pounded out paths even after the ranchers had no cows on the ground for several years. Have come across fresh paths trampled in the grass when the smugglers started avoiding the established trails. Hiking/hunting about 12 square miles of this ground for a long time and seen plenty of sign indicating illegals, just lately in the area we hunt there has been nothing for a while. Just because you don not like that we have no sign of activity in the area we are familiar with is no reason to call someone as not truthful.

Truck does not move once camp is set up. Miles of hiking and glassing for 4 days, kinda that way every year.

Have not seen fresh trash, beat down trails or a living crosser in 10+ years.

Did you check out a Bull tag? How much is one of those?

I can recall my first AZ duck limit, it was opening weekend 1969. It was my dad and brother along with our neighbor up in the white mountains. I think we had a boat and decoys set up on the W end of basin lake just north of big lake in eastern AZ. High overcast, breezy and the migration south was going strong. We could see V after V of waterfowl high up flying south. On a regular interval ducks would bomb in over our decoys. One time a pair of red head drakes came in at full speed from left to right just over the decoys and I got on them fast, had that old Winchester MOD 97 12G working faster than you would think a 13 year old could and dropped them both, bang bang. 2 days 4 limits each day and 56 birds total. Mallards, pintails, widgeon, gadwall and teal. Awesome weekend hunt and as you can guess have never seen its like since.

I love H4350 in general. Works well in my 6.5C, 30-06 and 7-08. For my 270 WIN (I know not the 6.8West.) H4831SC gave me excellent accuracy. If H4350 is what ou have go for it, if you can get H4831SC then it will likely work better.

search Seekins Havak 6.5C in this site, it's what I have for sale. It works great with 140 ELDMatch out to 1000 yards.

I have seen that happen on an Elk hunt. Was it cold? A Rem trigger that is gummed with up with old oil and/or it's really cold can bring out this flaw in their design. Remington triggers have that flaw in it, time for Trigger Tech.

How do you haul all that around the hills then find time to set it up before the shot is passed?

Yep hunting is like military artillery, a few ranging shots to get on target are the norm.

You need better hunting buddies

Yes

Did you get a "ARIZONA 2022 GENERAL ELECTION PUBLICITY PAMPHLET"? It has ratings on Judges by a Judicial performance commission , Attorneys, Litigant/Witness's and jurors. For example the section judging appellate court justices and judges two judges had 7-8 performance commissioners abstain from voting which was unusual. The commissioners could not bring themselves to say said judges did not meet standard but they could not bring themselves to vote for the said judges. BTW the two said judges, one got low marks for "Legal Ability" and the other was rated low for "Judicial Temperament" by the Attorneys. I agree this is an important part of the ballot.

Reduced price $740 without the scope, rings or rail

I had a question about access into an area after a very rich Californian bought a ranch and then locked the gate. Turns out the Coronado NF has an access coordinator, check with him and see if he can tell you about roads up to the wilderness area.
