    Moonlight

    I jumped 2 muley bucks on Sunday that were bedded down at 7:30 am. I think this had more to do with temps than moon though.

    Pentax DCF SP Binocular Special Pricing

    I see lots of posts from people looking for good glass for less cash. Before I ponied up for the swaros I used Pentax DCF WP 10x 42. I thought it was some great glass. I know they are discontinued now. Doug- are these an upgrade from what I had???? Are they waterproof as well???

    A good day

    I lost my dad last month. Last year he was on a muzzy hunt with me. As he was doing the radiation this summer he said "You know, if I'm feeling up to it I'd like to go out with you again this year". He will be with me on every hunt

    coues7, I hope you weren't offended by my offer. That's the best I can do, I already have the 10x42s. Good luck with the treatment

    ADVICE ON QUADS

    Bill- Held out on a quad for several years and finally bought new this summer. I enjoy the heck out of it and have been out almost every week. Going places I used to turn around because I didn't want to beat up my truck. I think you would enjoy it immensely, go for it live it up. I had a ATC 25 years ago, this is like being a kid again

    who hunts with ballistic tip ammo?

    Shot several deer with 95gr BST from a 243 and all were one shot kills

    The .223

    I used to think a 243 would be as light as I would go, but the 223WSSM would be plenty out to 250 methinks....that's what the pieces of jackrabbits tell me anyways
  12. Those of us in the Northwest Valley remember the transformer fire a couple years back. APS used that as a basis to raise rates this year. I just read that APS posted a 300% increase in profits this month since the Corp. Commission approved their increases several months ago. Coincidence?????What's in store now?? Some Exxon style- gouging?? Is that APS out in the San Tans or is SRP keepin' up with the Jones'???

    Backpack recomendations

    I have the bullpac too. 2 years ago my coues had to come uphill in 2 pieces. Last years mulie came downhill in one. I see on their website that they have a new rifle mount. That was my only complaint before, now I have none. Best frame pack I have ever used. My friend was looking for one last year for a deer hunt and I told him about the bullpac. Instead he bought some weenie one that broke on his pack out. Live and learn. Good luck this year.

    mapping software

    I have TOPO with all the discs loaded to the hard drive in my laptop. I plug in the Garmin Vista and have real time navigation while out in the boonies. I have no experience with DeLorme.
  16. I just saw the IMAX 3-D movie "African Safari" at the Smithsonian in D.C. Very cool... made me want to go bad. I was surprised how much South Africa looks like Ash Fork. Except instead of speedgoats there are rhinos and elephants.

    Casey had an OK hunt

    Although I sure would like to get a cat, I don't think I ever want to be 20 yds from one. Good work Casey!
  18. You know, I was wondering about this myself. I picked up a 223 WSSM last week and many articles I read seemed to think that it will be a good whitetail round. Zeroed @ 100yds it only drops 4.4 @ 300yds.Energy is 1150 ft lb @ 200 yds. Personally I will still feel more comfortable with my 243 or 7 mag. I'll post results later after I try it out on some coyotes. Anyone else have a WSSM?

    Unit 21 Buck

    That is a good looking buck, congratulations. You're right about 21 we were out there today chasin' carp and piggies.
  22. Last year when I drew a Dec. hunt and tagged a 100" buck I thought it was the best Xmas ever. Okay it was........until now The Lord delivered this bundle to us in early Dec. My wife promised no changes in lifestyle..................... Actually I did manage a forkie carp with my muzzleloader in Nov. Merry Christmas and good luck on all your hunts. All the hunt stories with pics are almost like being there...........almost....... God bless you all

    Hunting in 36C

    36C was my favorite unit. I hunted 8years there in all three hunts. saw the biggest coues deer I have ever seen there, probably went 120" no kiddin. Hunted pigs a few times there too. Unfortunately I am done there. I've glassed a few groups of illegals before, had friends food and water stolen and i am always worried about being shot for my truck. There are deer in other units. Actually since I was lucky enough to score a 100"buck last year I'm chasing carp with a smokepole in Oct. Good luck on your hunt and be careful. The wildlife manager for that unit was Mike Hollister, send him an email. Oh yeah and do the trash pickup down there it's a real eye opener. AZhunters who care on Oct. 22(someone correct me if I'm wrong on the date)
