What number did you call? Phx or Tucson

Since there are 126 hunt permit-tags still available (obtained only through application and drawing procedures) you need to pay $148.00 which includes a $13 application fee, ALL nonpermit-tags (OTC) are $135.00. These can be purchased at any Dept office or license dealer.

Is beer singular like deer because I need a herd of beer. Sent my app in from Tucson this morning. I am a little worried because the postal service said it would be delivered by Monday @ 3:00pm, that's way past when they open their doors to start opening mail by 0800. I paid an additional $16.75 so that it would be delivered by tomorrow (no signature required) and praying like a mofo that they have a mail slot that they can deliver to. Don't know if I pissed away $16.75, but like the Az Lottery, you can't win if you don't play. Fingers and toes crossed.

I thought they pulled the first 126 applicants or the amount needed to fill the alotted tags and just sent the unopened (unlucky applicants) back to sender. I don't recall being charged another processing fee for leftovers, I may be wrong though.

Recently traded my 2003 Chevy 2500 HD crew cab 4x4 with 207xxx miles, absolutely great truck. Towed great and went everywhere I wanted it to go, loved the size (int and ext) only thing I hated it was a thirsty pig, 10 mpg in town or hwy. I traded it for a 2014 Toyota Tundra crew cab 4x4 and I absolutely love this truck, The cab is friggin huge compared to my old truck, the gas mileage is a huge plus, 15-17 mpg. The only downside I have noticed is the bed is slightly shorter, but that means I just pack a little smarter. Haven't towed anything yet to see what it's capable of doing but I am sure it will do just fine. You won't be disappointed. Just my 2 cents.

Meant to say: The Arizona Game and Fish Department has made the 2015 fall hunt recommendations for deer, turkey, javelina, bighorn sheep, buffalo, bear, mountain lion, and predators and furbearers available for review at www.azgfd.gov/huntguidelines. Sorry for any confusion -
In 2006, my 3rd child was born May 30. Well on April 1, 2006 my wife started screaming at the top of her lungs from within the garage (8 months into her pregnancy), I run out there to see her standing in a puddle of water in her nightie. She said her water had just broke and I needed to gather her belongings and take her to the hospital, I ran around frantically gathering all her stuff and ran into the garage and she is sitting on the floor in hysterics. She got me and always brings it up on this very day. Why I outta..............

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........................I really like Kimber rifles. If it was in 270wsm, I would have to see what the going rate for a kidney is. Good luck with the sale, you can't beat the price.

Tell us about your elk rifle, and cartridge?
Shooter McGavin replied to Stray Horse's topic in Elk Hunting
This is my Kimber 270wsm 8400 Classic w/muzzle brake. Topped with a Zeiss 4.5-14x44 scope. (Dads gun) This is my other Kimber 270wsm 8400 Classic, topped with a Kahles KX 3.5-10x50 scope. (Sons gun, but mostly dads gun) Unfortunately it looks like myself nor my kids will be using these for elk this year, the draw gods weren't in our favor. -

How many animals have you harvested in Arizona
Shooter McGavin replied to Seldom Drawn's topic in The Campfire
Hunting since I was 10, but big game starting at 14 when I could actually pull back 40lbs, got my 1st pig when I turned 18 with a bow. Switched to rifle at age 21 and tagged my 2nd pig at age 25. Not until I was 32 did I actually tag my 1st mule deer. Learned a lot from making tons of mistakes and are slowly turning things around, after countless years of tag soup I may need to schedule a colonoscopy to extract all the tags that are lining my lower intestines. Whitetail-5 Mule deer-2 Javelina-16 Cow elk-2 Mountain lion-1 Got my son his firearm hunting certificate at age 10 just two years ago and he is on a roll. Whitetail-2 Javelina-1 Hoping the draw gods have some love this year!!!!!!!! -
Questions on a Remington 280 rifle
Shooter McGavin posted a topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Does anybody have any thoughts on a Remington model 700 280? Availability of ammo? If you had your choice of 270 or 280, why? Let me know, thanks. -
Garmin 550t GPS For Sale $200 with AZ and CO topos on MicroSD card

Would you trade for Badlands Monster Fanny Pack (used one time) + $100.00 George Washingtons? -
The ones we would catch from shore were anywhere from 7-8", just remember when cleaning these fish you can die from the poison if you clean them incorrectly. The trigger fish are an absolute blast to catch, those fish put up an awesome fight on light tackle, be curious to see what they do when speared.

We now have a house in Playa Encanto, by far the best beach up an down that area.Even though the beach is lined with gorgeous houses, it is absolutely vacant with people, trash and peddlers. I hate going to California and Florida beaches, maybe I'm becoming an old fuddy-duddy and hate being around that many people.

I go 3-4 times a year with my family now, prior to wife and kids 5-6 a year and this was way before Sandy Beach became over run with high rises. Any place just behind competition hill (this is the hill you race up & down with quads and buggies) in the rocky area while the tide is coming in will produce tons of rays, trigger fish, parrot fish, sea trout and puffer fish. Just be careful while walking in the rocks toward the deeper water, I have seen a lot of poisonous rock and scorpion fish. Be sure and post pics.

All ammo is long gone, sold -
529 rds of CCI 17 HMR ammo for sale, the boxes show Hornady but they are actually the CCI brand and the rest is in a bag (bulk). Willing to sell for $90.00. Located in Tucson. The only reason for selling is my gun prefers the Hornady.

Opening morning success in 37A and now waiting for WGP to make some scrumdilly chorizo. I was the only one out of 7 hunters to fill their tag. The pigs were slim pickens this past weekend, even the G & F gal said not many tags were being filled. I couldn't believe the amount of hunters their were roaming the hills and the amount of shots. Their were times we would count 11 on up to 13 shots consecutive shots and it wasn't just target practice at camps, it was up in the hills. It was a great hunt, wonderful weather and good times.
