I think the deer migrated from all of the central AZ units. Pretty sure they can ONLY be found in southern Arizona now.

Kevin, I'll buy the mountain pants. tried sending PM but it wouldn't let me. I'll send you an email. Jay

gotta a cell phone pick of a Coues buck on Ellsworth Road from 2 winters ago.

good stuff! would love to see more angles.

Doesn't this just figure? http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Say-NO-to-Night-Hunting-of-Arizona-Lions/ Most of the signers of the petition don't have a f*!king clue about hunting, or living for that matter, in Arizona. How about a big dose of mind your own!

bruisers, man. absolute bruisers.

that's an awesome buck.

just wondering... what's your school and biggest buck?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Eberlestock packs are the most OVER-RATED packs on the market. They're fine for day trips and can pack a mule without breaking, but they are incredibly poor at distributing the load to your hips, expand horizontally instead of vertically (which messes with your center of gravity), and are extremely heavy. For some reason, hunters think they need their backpack to be camoflauged, which is the only thing Eberlestock packs offer much better built packs from Mystery Ranch, Arc Teryx, Gregory, REI, shoot, even Kelty. I spent $500 on a J107 and accessories that I ended up giving away. I then spent the $600 for a MR Grizzly, which has been wonderful in comparison, even though it's still a bit heavy for my liking.

wow Payne, that's raw. Can't show that to the wife. Small cat too, huh?

I think it's good. Everyone will have a different opinion on the color selections. I think it's fine. Don't know that it will either add to or take away from the site. I prefer a clean look, but the rustic grunge is quite popular for outdoor sites, so no worries. Space between products helps them stand out rather than becoming a big cluster of who knows what. What's most important is that your products are well categorized and easy to find. That the images you use really show what the product is, and that you provide enough photos to remove the risk of purchase-mistakes. I think it would be good to include "in the field" images or video of products in action as well, to spur the emotion that gets people excited to buy. And that you build credibility so people aren't afraid to send you money... so things like guarantees and no-questions asked refunds, etc. A live chat option to answer questions about the products is nice. Then, it's all about the purchase process and making it as dumbass-proof as possible. And it's hard to tell anything about that from looking at the home page, but it certainly looks like you know what you're doing with it.

I thought you retired? This sounds like work.

i've been pretty happy with my kifaru slick bag. a 0 degree bag weighs only a few pounds and packs to the size just larger than a nalgene bottle.

mystery ranch makes pretty much the best hunting pack i've found, and i've been through just about all of them. they are pricey though.

Classic. Very well said.

sweet buck.

wonder if they let him take his arrow home... or if that's included in the auction.

Nice job Payne. I haven't seen Ryan in ages. Tell him I say congrats, and what's up.

Most guys I've talked with about the A7 say it's a good gun, but not different enough from the Tikka T3 to justify the cost difference. That if you're going to buy a Sako, you should wait until you can get a Finnlight.

good area. wear orange. you won't be alone.

looks like water with twigs and such in it to me.

Here's the bull. I remember Beau, interesting conversation that trip. Good times.

send it to me Beau... I'll post. This is two years in a row right? Tell him I say congrats.

They'll have a new site up before too long... will have all of the information you need, but in the mean time, talk with Cade and he'll set you up right.

I have two Rhino Evolution XP-1 ground blinds that I bought in December 09. I only need 1, so would like to sell the other. It's been set up in the field two times, and does have one arrow hole in the shoot through netting. Aside from that, the blind is basically brand new. These blinds get great reviews, and honestly, I'll never own another primos double bull. Customer service is excellent (sent me new carbon rods on two occasions without asking questions, when my brushed in blind couldn't take the weight of 8" of snow last December). I'm selling the blind that I didn't replace rods in. Brushed in. December 2009. Call me or PM me with questions or interest. The blind is in the White Mountains right now, but I'll have it in the Chandler area middle of next week. $200 firm. Jay 928-432-3073
