Congrats....Bow birds are tough...........

Why let them criminalize any currently legal behavior because of a very few individuals criminal behaviors??? and just in case you have not connected the so called "universal background check" dots to it's inevitable national registry conclusion.....THINK ABOUT THIS.......if they truly/only wanted to determine you are not a prohibited possessor then there is no need to complete a 4473.....just run my name through NICS using my drivers license or any other approved picture ID card.......without any gun information...THAT WILL NOT BE DONE BECAUSE CONFISCATION IS THE TRUE AGENDA......REGISTRATION IS ONLY NECESSARY FOR TAXATION OR CONFISCATION.....AND IN CASE I WAS NOT CLEAR ENOUGH ON WHERE I STAND...I'M NOT FOR ANY NEW GUN LAWS AT ALL....."SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" IS NOT OPEN FOR DEBATE........

Congratulations to you both..........

"Shared" on my Facebook page...A good read...

It will be done incrementally and under the guise of "common sense legislation"...

It's taken me all day to set aside my initial "knee jerk" emotional thoughts to the extent where I can say these few words......Wishing strength and serenity to all with hearts saddened by today's unimaginable loss of young lives...

You may consider Bog Pod Shooting sticks...they are light weight, yet sturdy, quickly adjustable in height, have removeable rubber boots and are easy to pack up a hill when not used for walking....we replace the stock "V" shooting platform with Jim White's modular shooting system (male Binocular adaptor/female receiver attachment piece/male "Jimmy's" shooting rest)....that way we can very quickly swap our binos for a "U" shaped shooting rest to use when making the shot... I believe Jim's shooting system is available for review/purchase at the "online" Coueswhitetail Store...

Impressive I say......nicely done.....made me want to get back into the hills...and I just got back last night!!!!

TAM.....PM sent...

I'm heading back out scouting on 11/24/12....if necessary I intend to hunt until dark thirty of the last day...I was wondering if any other CWT members have this hunt??...regardless of their Hunt Unit may all the Elk hunters experience solid hits, clean misses and short blood trails... don

Wishing you and your family strength and serenity during this difficult time.....

I have hunted this Unit off and on since the mid 1970's for Elk, Deer, Turkeys and Predators.....I agree that it can be a real tough hunt regardless of species pursued....I intend to give it my best shot by scouting as much as possible ( I already scouted/camped in the Unit from 10/07/12 through 11/03/12) and by hunting dawn to dark every day of the season....I too will be as mobile as necessary...Red Rabbit, if you or anyone other CWT members hunting Unit 9 have need of any kind of assistance I'm willing to help as possible....things happen and some parts of Unit 9 are real rough on a vehicle....again, good luck to all... don CELL PH.#520-834-2359

6 of our usual gang have 37A General Rifle Hunt, Feb 22 - Feb 28th....several of us will be looking to pick up a 2nd Archery tag in the 36's....nothing like a Javelina hunt to hook a newbie for life on hunting or the out of doors in general...laid back camping, cool weather and a better than average chance for success.....No Goulds yet (with 8 points).....

and accept the loss of his hunting privileges for the next 5 years.....my observation is that for several years the "Commissioners" have been way too quick at imposing 5 year periods of lost hunting privileges as punishment.......and why is it just about always for 5 year periods????......I think most of us would twist and turn if we were required to sit out even one year.....and don't forget that Arizona is part of that pesky little State compact that requires each State to honor the others assignment of lost hunting privileges ...one years worth of lost hunting privileges would certainly be more than enough of a reinforcement to return me to being a lawful hunter..... MAYBE HAVING ONE OF THEIR OWN COMMISSION MEMBERS DANCING IN THE SPOTLIGHT WILL CAUSE THEM TO RECONSIDER THEIR CONVICTIONS IN THIS MATTER….I’m not saying that imposing a loss of hunting privileges is too extreme a punishment…..I am suggesting that they use this tool too often……Oh, and just for the record I’ve never received a citation for violating any game law……

On two separate trips, several years apart, I've had hunting "Partners" that "forgot" to mention they could only hunt the opening weekend of our long planned full season Elk hunts...both had naturally rode all the way to camp in my vehicle (to save gas) before telling me of this little detail...both loudly complained that they did not speak up earlier because they knew I would make them drive themselves to camp....Ya think????...one "Partner" ended up renting a car for the trip home to Tucson from Flagstaff...the other had his wife pick him up in Flagstaff.....Turns out I burned some bridges with those "Partners" as they never even asked to hunt with me again.....What the heck, I thought my taking them in to town was a great demonstration of camaraderie and sacrifice.....

Ok so get the concept. That means u have to a have a different drop chart for every temp and elecations? Cause bullet drop will constantly change granted those factors . There for ur MOA at 600yrds at 2000elv with differ from 600yrds at 8000. So the question to you is how can u find out all those balistic charts? Rcbs software? This web site link has worked fairly well for my needs: http://biggameinfo.com/index.aspx?page=%2fbalcalc.ascx

Hunt their food source instead of trying to find a parking spot at a water source....Find out where they are watering then determine the nearest/predominate food source.......Acorns, Seeds, Grasshoppers, Dandelions etc....

Nose of the proverbial camel under the tent...a day or two later and you will be scraping camel crap off your morning bowl of Wheaties!!!

97 and 15..interesting site....

30B Nov. 9th Hunt for 5 of us...some 2nd choice some 3rd or 4th choice...all happy to be going hunting...good luck to everyone else...see you in the hills...

I drew a Unit 9 Nov. Rifle Bull tag...good luck to everyone on their hunts...

Wow...My oldest son and I drew Dec. deer tags...youngest son drew Muley somewhere...good luck to everyone else...

Donald Ray Carr Sr. was my very 1st hunting and fishing teacher...Dad remained my closest hunting partner right up to his passing on October 9, 1995...our family lore has my Dad being taught how to hunt by his father as they chased squirrels around the West Virginia hills of his youth…probably my earliest hunting memory (circa 1965) is of following Dad around the snow spattered corn and soy bean fields of our Illinois farm as he hunted Pheasants...to this day the smell of shot shell empties brings back vivid memories of Dad’s pan fried Pheasant and freshly fired paper 12 gauge hulls...Dad's preference was bird hunting and until our 1969 move to southern Arizona I can only remember an occasional deer on the dinner table....in short order we swapped Ducks, Geese and Pheasants for Quail and Doves...man oh man, during the early to mid 1970's no kid could have had it any sweeter than I did as we Quail hunted off the Willow Springs Ranch Road and Dove hunted along the Santa Cruz River...I still have to shake my head in amazement at those enormous Quail coveys and the seemingly never ending flights of Doves...during this time we also left a lot of boot leather all over the Catalina, Santa Rita and Tortolita mountain ranges while "hunting" Javelina and Deer...old habits die hard and so it took several years of ground pounding until Dad finally conceded that glassing up game was much better than herding it...I was lucky enough to have had my Dad’s help in starting my two boys down the Hunter’s path…I doubt they know it, but I fairly often see Dad’s mannerisms shine through them…sometimes it’s how they always take time to set up a solid camp before heading out on the trail…other times it’s when they hand out a spare something or rather and laughingly tell someone “ remember it’s better to have and not need, than need and not have”…that was one of Dad’s most used quotes which was reportedly hard learned during the Korean war…so there you have it, the long and the short story of who set me to the hunting path and instilled me with a sense of appreciation for all things having to do with the “out of doors”…

My preference would be Harry Lawson Gunsmithing...3328 N. Richey Blvd. (the shop is one block west of Dodge Blvd. and about 2 blocks north of Ft. Lowell Rd.)...Ph. #520-326-1117...Randy and Joe have always completed my projects at the stated costs and on time...you may find this web link helpful: http://www.longrange...n-rifles-46254/ ...the web link information is as good today as it was back then...good luck

Just a clarification of my earlier post...I am in no way, shape or form advocating that we should be able to drive off road wherever we choose...I am stating my belief that a majority of the new road closures, as demonstrated in the USFS Travel Management Plan's, are totally unrealistic, unreasonable and absolutely unwarranted...prior to forcing these "necessary" road closures onto us the USFS should have made a greater, more consistent effort to apprehend and prosecute anyone illegally driving off road...Ah, but that would have required the USFS to apply more funding towards enforcement patrols (probably leading to an additional nationwide gas expense of several hundred million dollars) which might have been in contradiction to President Obama’s fiscal year 2012 Budget “New Energy Frontier” strategy which in part lists the stated goals of reducing the Nation’s dependence on fossil fuels/oil imports and effecting a reduction of carbon impacts: http://www.doi.gov/news/pressreleases/Presidents-12-2-Billion-2012-Budget-for-Interior-Focuses-on-Spending-Discipline-Strategic-Investments-and-Vital-Missions.cfm ...Oh, and be sure to note this strategy’s 2nd to last “Additional Revenue Generating Proposal” which sought to increase the cost of Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamps from $15 to $25 per stamp.
