    what a 300 mag dose to a cat skull

    LOL! It's spam for resorts in Russia. Took Russian in HS. It was the only class I paid attention in.

    2010 Unit 10 December Archery deer hunt.

    What do the rules say? If the GWs are following the rules, then it is a law problem, and you shouldn't begrudge the individual officers. Would you jeopardize your job and pension for someone else? Let's work to change the rules.
  4. Laws have to start in the House, so we'll see.

    Wolves by Payson AZ

    They have been sighted in 5a as well. Seems some people have taken hybrids out and dropped them off in the woods to reintroduce them. Really smart.

    2 for 2 down south

    Finally headed out Sun morn to Tombstone for my deer hunt after having to work Fri and Sat. I was hunting alone due to the fact that my hunting partner had to return to work that morning and wouldn't be back till Monday around noon. Headed to the back of a draw and was glassing the grassy flats when I heard a noise behind me and looked to find a small forkie working up the hill to my left. Well, since I'm 0 for 1 lifetime on mulies, I decided he looked tasty enough and squeezed off a shot. Long story short, I missed. Was glad to see a small buck still got the heart pumping. Next morning, get to the same spot, and within a minute, I find a 3x3 and a spike working the flats about 800yds out. I watched them till they bedded around 7:30 the whole time trying to figure out how the heck to get close enough to them. Right about that time I hear rocks at the top of the mountain next to me. I see deer moving, grab the binos, and saw doe, fawn, doe, BUCK! About 200 -250 yds. Put the '06 (best cartridge out there ) on the tripod squeeze off a round and see him staggering on 3 legs, shoot again, and see nothing but legs sticking up from the tall grass where he was just standing. Buck Down!!! I celebrated to myself for about 10 sec till I realized just how steep and far up he was. Got up to him and the first thing I noticed was he was a cow. I wish I had a means to get him out whole and weigh him had to be 200 to 225 lbs. Big ole fat belly. The next thing I noticed was his antlers. I saw a large fork on one side , and a large 16 inch main beam on the other, then a smaller main beam coming out of his right side. Got to looking, he started another small beam out of the back of his left side. Not a huge deer, but pretty unique. Not bad for my first mule deer. The next morning took my buddy and we sat and glassed from the same exact spot where I was the day before. At 6:45, watch a deer come off the same mountain as mine. My bud made 2 good shots and dropped him (luckily at the bottom of the mountain). Got up to his deer and I was 99% sure it was the forkie I missed the first afternoon. Super hunt, in a beautiful area. Didn't see many deer, but just happened to be in the right place at the right time twice. Here's pics Couldn't get the pics of my buddies to go through photobucket

    3C Mule Deer Sucess!

    Beautiful deer. I'd go European, but whatever floats your boat on that bruiser. Oh and, you can change your signature now

    33 opener buck 748 yards

    I normally don't shoot any less than 750 yds. Hit the range more and someday you'll be a man like me JK nice deer and great shot. That's one to be proud of.

    seeking help on AZ-22N late hunt for bull elk

    Half these spots are on the G&F website.
  13. Any middle units, 22,23,21, have a lot of public land, and deer. Most land access issues are in the southern units.

    There's trails behind the ranches up on the Weavers if you have a quad, and the guts.

    more meaning of life

    This brings back memories that I would rather forget. I was in this boat when my daughter was 4 months old(she's now a spunky 8 y/o). Seeing the other families and their grief while in PICU was very difficult. Glad everything is coming together with your granddaughter. I think the hardest part of going through ordeals like this is you're completely helpless. We're big strong rough and gruff men, who can do about anything, but our kids get seriously sick or injured and all we can do is watch and pray. It really puts life in perspective.

    Affects of the hot Weather

    The last Oct hunt I had, it was 95* during the day. I took a buck walking down a wash at 11:00. I wasn't expecting that, (especially with the super bright full moon at night), but that's what I got. I would still glass all day no matter what the situation. The only thing I would want would be to have a water source in my glassing range. There's a member on here whose hunting group took a few coues during the middle of the day while they were going to water on an Oct hunt.

    Best movie ever. What a wuss, 90 volts!?! Seriously? Ever been hit with a taser? THAT will knock you to the ground! *Yes, I've been hit with most of the current taser models to include C2, X26, M26 and XREP, and if it didn't teach me anything else, I learned five times is enough no matter what I got out of it! It's completely different. I've been knocked on by arse by 460v, but only felt pain from 10,000 volts from a taser like arc.
  23. If I caught my buddies snorting coke, they probably wouldn't be my buddies anymore
  24. Bird hunting is fun with or without a dog. That being said, I won't evr leave the house without my french brit. By far the best breed out there
