    Do you agree with G&F forcing kids to take Hunter Safety???

    Finding a class room setting in Tucson was impossible and when something did come up, it was too late to sign up or always had prior engagements. I put both of my kids through the online class ( not by choice, but do to schedules) and I really wanted them to have other kids around to get to know, have a more interaction, etc....but I actually think the one on one sit down at our own pace setting was beneficial. We alternated reading paragraphs, had our own snacks and icee's and took the tests together writing down each question and answer for referencing the final test. I do think it's beneficial, even though I have taught them from the very beginning all the aspects of gun safety, it never hurts to have more and more knowledge, whether it's survival to gun etiquette to basic field dressing. I remember taking it when I was 10 and I couldn't wait til my kids turned 10 to pass on this tradition. Bite the bullet and have fun taking it with them, it's really cool seeing them get their Hunter Ed patch, hat and certificate.......smiles all around from kids to the parents.

    AZGF gift card-not fair for Jr hunters

    Well I put my two kids (12 yr and 10 yr old) in for the jr hunt yesterday hoping they might have a chance for the $500 early gift card drawing and found out from AZGF that they need to be at least 18 to be included in this drawing. I call BS.............How many jr hunters have their own credit card to apply for a tag? I am assuming most parents pay for their kids hunts up until a certain age, I know my kids at this age rely on me putting them in and having enough money in the bank to cover the tag costs. If they aren't going to let them partake in the drawing they better dang make sure all the jr hunters get a tag. Just sayin............................

    Pay it forward - I will start

    I recently acquired a Burris 3-9x40mm 1" Fullfield II that came with my new recently purchased CZ 452 22lr rifle and I no longer am in need of it. I have purchased another scope to replace this one. Glass is in great shape, previous owner dropped it and it has a nice size ding in the body. No way does it affect the performance just the appearance. This would make a nice scope for a newbie or even someone upgrading from an older fixed power scope. I am located in Tucson, shouldn't be no more than a couple bucks to ship if anybody up north is interested.

    When I was younger I would visit my grandparents in the Everglades and catch a ton of them in the 10,000 islands, along with snook and tarpon. The good ole days.

    What number did you call? Phx or Tucson
  17. Shooter McGavin

    Leftover list is available.

    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.

    Leftover list is available.

    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.

    Toyota Tundra Owners..... Yea or nay

    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.

    WT still packing

    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

    Best April Fools Day Jokes

    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..............

    Kimber Classic 8400 300 wsm

    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?

    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.
