    Sad Day

    Yeah that tuff, but beef is delicious. Buy a kids 4H/FFA beef that doesn’t make the sale and your freezer will be stocked. You can always buy a LO cow tag in NM but when it’s all done you will have paid as much as what a beef cost. I like elk and my kid has kept us in elk meat for the last 5 ears with the youth tags, but I LOVE beef

    Gunwerks law suit

    At least 5k per rifle they are pocketing. But huge overhead with all the CNC machinery they have. Hope they come out of it, they have been good for the firearms and hunting business in general. They do build a great rifle but I get get just as good rifle built for 3K

    4.5 million people in maricopa county

    It’s not the government place To dictate our choices. People should have been educated and given the option to stay home. It’s my choice if I want to participate in a social function, not the government. This is way bad and is our first big step towards socialism. We have been headed that way just look at how schools are run, total Socialism bring the top kids to be Average. Government is getting away with it, WHATS NEXT!!!???

    Time for America to take ACTION

    The irony of all the stuff we are running out of is most of it is produced in China who is also the country that caused this. Now they have the upper hand. Maybe we will learn a lesson that getting goods for cheaper has a price has a big toll. Maybe our country will get smarter and relax some of our stupid restrictions which would allow the US to get back in the production business

    Teamwork and spotting/guiding a shooter in on a buck

    The distance difference will always happen. It will look closer to the spotter than the guy in the field. So realize that going into it. Also instead of saying distance have the spotter describe what’s around the target, trees, rocks something the guy in the field can find. That will help, plus just getting use to a how your hunting buddies work takes time and some messed up stalks too

    Youth Rifle Recommendations for Big Game

    I would look at 7-08 or less. 260, 6.5 creed more, 25-06,243 all good choices. Remember light short rifles can kick a lot so something to think about. I would buy a full size, get the stock cut down or replace stock with adjustable stock. Then as he grows you can use same gun, just change or adjust stock. This is a gun he will likely keep his whole life so buy something quality not cheap. My 2 pennies

    horses in elk unit

    Guess I will chime in. Let’s get some facts straight. First I’m a horse lover and owner but don’t believe feral horses serve any purpose. 1- horses are mono gastric and very in efficient in using what they eat compared to cattle Cattle have 4 chambered stomach much more efficient . Takes way more country to run the same number of horses than cattle. Horses are harder on habitat for this reason. 2 horse were brought here by Europeans, no such thing as a native horse. 3 feral horses are ruining tons of public land in Utah, AZ, Nevada, and NM. 4 Lions will and do eat feral horses. NM had a collared lion that pretty much lived on feral horses. 5 Any populations of unregulated animal will eventually destroy there habitat then the populations will crash and start cycle over again. 6 Since horses settled the west( really was mules) Americans have the fantasy that they can’t be eaten. Had an old timer try Oryx meat and he said it tasted a lot like horse. Oryx is delicious for those who haven’t had any. 7 Best thing that could happen if the killer market came back the the wild horses could be put to good use.

    Opinions on vortex spotting scope

    Depends on how you use it. If your just using to tell buck from doe and not fine detail the razors are good enough. If you can find a used one with the 65mm bell they are good for there price range. If you are trying to tell detail like a 90 in deer from a 97 in deer they aren’t good enough. Save money and buy better.

    wolves

    Yes wolves alone will crash a herd. They kill the calves, the recruitment in the elk population drops below 20% the herd crashes from years Of not enough replacement to sustain. Whether that’s the case with that herd I don’t know but I bet it is. Just watch when the wolf numbers finally get high here, same will happen. The thing the wolf lovers never show is what historic wolf populations were. The wolf populations exceed what the true carrying capacity is thus they are over harvesting their food source. When the elk populations crash, the wolf’s don’t, they just move to the next mountain range and start hammering the elk there. There is a reason wolves were hated back in the day, they truly will kill for fun and wipe out their food source.

    Carrying Rifle w/Chambered Round?

    Chamber empty always. Different types of hunting like quail you kind of have to have a round in the chamber. But big game where you spend more time huffing and puffing up hills, slipping/ falling than you do shooting it makes no sense to carry chambered. If your sitting in a blind/ tree stand or sitting calling where your not moving I see no issue with chambering a round. I kind of trophy hunt so I’m not going to shoot anything in such a hurry where I need to be chambered. The worse thing that can happen when your unchambered is the critter gets away. Now what’s the worse that can happen when your chambered?? Why take the chance!!

    New rifle build 6.5 300wsm

    For a hunting gun I would go with a 6.5 PRC. You’ll get close to 6.5-300 velocities with way less headaches, no fire forming, no neck trimming, head stamped brass and all. Just not worth 100-150 fps to me. But if your a speed chaser and like the tinkering of wildcats go for it.

    Cow Tags, Kids, and Time Well Spent

    Help With Score Guess

    I say 170 frame but since he is missing a point and in velvet I would bring him in the 155-160’s. Pretty deer no matter what. I’ve been known to mid judge deer by a few inches too!!!

    South of the Boarder Violence

    I agree that sounds like it was targeted. How do mistake a bunch of blondes in Mexico. I wasn’t going this year and haven’t been since the place we went was DIY. We drove down with our guns and in the heart of drug runner country. Just not worth the risk to me. People there were great, very cool to hang around with real Cowboys. If I was going with an outfitter and not driving in I wouldn’t be worried at all

    Shooting from one unit into another????

    It’s legal in NM, can’t see how it would be different in AZ. If I was going to do this I would talk with the local Warden before the hunt and get their definition because that’s the one that will matter since they are the one who will or won’t bust you for it. You could win in court but what a pain that would be. Best solve it before hand so you don’t have any issues to ruin your hunt.
