Nice buck and nice shot! CONGRATS! bill

CONGRATS Sneakem! Dandy buck in a tough year indeed!

Well done Amigo! bill

So….how’d you do Steve? Tell that story brother! 😀 bill

Saw a buck with 3 doe while scouting this morning in 35A and another larger buck alone. The cooler “blue sky” morning had them up and active…at least in my neck of the woods. Good luck to all!

Hello Fellow Sportsmen and Women, I’m looking for advice on a solid camp axe/hatchet. Would prefer it to be made here in the USA, but those seem to be tough to come by. Looked at a Swedish made axe by the name of bruks, but man they sure are proud of them! I don’t mind doing the last 10% of the refinements necessary to bring an axe up to 100%, just want it to be solid/well made from head to tail to begin with. Preferably a hickory or ash handle. And to have the steel to hold an edge. And I want NOTHING made in the CHICOM nation either. Any help or advice is much appreciated! Bill

Steve, I am local here. 2nd week of this hunt is best as training activities will be low, thus more open areas. Download Fort Huachuca off Avenza maps (isportsman) if you haven’t already. Call or shoot a text tomorrow and we can discuss some of the areas that produce decent deer. 520-two six six-1312. bill

ALYUAZ-Thank you for posting this. In looking at the hatchet, it appears that it will meet my expectations, and it won’t break the bank (especially so close to Christmas) either! 😀. I think that this is the one I’ll go with. Still planning to take Edge’s class in the spring too! bill

Edge, Thank you for the information and link. I have always had an interest in blacksmithing/forging ever since I was a kid. I remember going about my chores and watching as the farmer repaired or fabricated using heat, anvil, and hammer. I knew then that it was both art as well as hard work, but still always wanted to try my hand at it. Then the Army got in the way and I got good at breaking stuff with a hammer…..but not much else. 😂 I’ll take you up on the offer to learn and will contact you via the link. Thank you, bill

Thanks guys! Great options you listed! I may look down in Palominas at 2nd hand place for a used Plum. bill

Great Buck! Congrats to your son, and also to you for getting him out there! 👍

Congrats on a fantastic Buck and a great story. Way to stay after him! Bill

1.5 on both the Buck and the pig. Agree with Ed67, they’ll flat out fly great. Neither bled much. But they didn’t go far either. 😀 Good luck on your hunt. Bill

https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/mike-lee-new-land-sale-provision/ Randy Newbergs updated take on the Lee proposed changes. He is correct…..straight up dog dookie. Just when I thought that I couldn’t be shocked again by our political leadership, a guy from Utah of all places goes off the rails and does this. How fantastic an understanding of his constituents he must enjoy! Both the House and the Senate here in Arizona must “Hear us loud and clear”! Hooper-OUT

Welcome! What PRDATR, Flatlander, and Edge said above. Arizona is a great State to be in if you love being outside. Slather the sunscreen and drink water! 😀 Bill

Me too. It’s why I backed out of a potential deal a few weeks ago…

True & Agree IA Born. Just “hoping” that the 9th Circuit will follow suit. Of course, it’s the 9th Circuit, so one never knows! 😂

Thank you for posting this! This decision sets a fantastic precedent for all of us that hunt in the west! bill

Cool matching set Steve! Keep checking back in the area you found them!

Washington? I would have almost bet that the new world record would’ve come from right here. Dude is a bonafide bow hunter, that’s for sure. Article is posted on outdoor life website. Best, bill

JIVega, After further consideration, I will pass on the jacket. My apologies for wasting your time. Thank you, Bill

Sir, I will take the Stone Glacier Grumman at a price of 200.00 if you are willing to part with at that price. I will also pay shipping of course. Bill Hooper 520) two 66 13 one two

Awesome beyond words! Thank you for sharing and thank you to the folks that helped. Well done young man!

Came to water at 12:40 pm on the last day on the Fort. First Coues with a bow. 😀

Thanks all. And thanks Eddie for correcting the photo! Kev, yes on Huachuca. Just retired (for the second time), so should have more time to hunt and fish if the grandkids will let me. 😀
