or you can resize the photos in your photo software to get them down to a size that can be uploaded. -
which model of rifle do you prefer?
SunDevil replied to devinv's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
well going back to the recent Outdoor Life article - the most accurate gun they tested was the Vanguard Sub - MOA with their best group at 100 yards of .24 inches. -
Sports bar in Flagstaff or Williams

Granny's is pretty cool. It was a long time ago but I went there once when I was visiting a friend who was going to NAU. I liked it more than the Zoo which was the other place we went. Some other places that Casey swears by are: 1) In at 410 2) Arizona Sled Dog Inn 3) Monte Vista -
unit 32 - between Benson and Willcox - just N of I-10 by Johnson Mine (on the other side of I-10 from The Thing).

ok - here you go. at first I thought I had water drops on my lens. after I checked I realized the flash caught the drops in mid-air and surprisingly, they were in focus. this is right before we really got dumped on. ROUND it is.

I think Outdoor Life had an article on most accurate rifles out of the box. unfortunately they used a whole bunch of different calibers which made it a little flawed in my opinion. the best one of all of the guns they tested was the Weather Vanguard Sub-MOA in 30-06. For the money - I do not think you can argue with the Rem 700 out of the box. Looks of choices to choose from. blue, stainless, matte, nickel. wood, plastic, camo, laminate. the choices and combinations are pretty extensive. -
any more guesses?

I think Casey said he use to hang at the Starlight Pines in Flag. -
no - maybe someone can explain the parallax adjustment (Doug - aka RR - aka Mr Professor). the important thing to note is when you zoom your scope out to use the BDC's - you can not adjust the magnification - in essence - when you are using the BDC's you are using a fixed power scope that always needs to be set at the predetermined magnification power. this is one of the drawbacks to the BDC's is that if you are shooting at twilight and need to reduce the magnification in order to gather more light than you can not use the BDC's

I have a nikon monarch BDC - I put it on a new gun and got everything all figured out with it, my ammo and my gun. before my last hunt I put 3 shots at 400 yards in a 2.5" group. you just have to figure out for your gun and ammo if 200/300/400/500 is top, middle or bottom of circle. it gives you 2 more options for zeroing your gun at each yardage than just the dots. if you are not going to do turrets but want something more than just a regular duplex scope it is probably the best way to go.

CONCERNS WITH COUESWHITETAIL.COM
SunDevil replied to tjhunt2's topic in Miscellaneous Items related to Coues Deer
so there are really two different scenarios and for both of these, people that get offended easily need to either 1) get thicker skin, 2) ignore people they find offensive, 3) respect other people's opinions or 4) and possibly unfortunately, find somewhere else to spend their time. scenario 1) say I am a snake lover (which I am not but lets say I do). if there is a thread about how people hate snakes and want to kill them all then I need to either get thicker skin, respect their opinions, ignore the thread or go elsewhere. scenario 2) I am still a snake lover and I post a bunch of pictures of snakes and start talking about how much I love them. knowing some of the members on here, I might get called a few things (all in good nature) about being a snake lover and people will probably express their opinion about how they would like all snakes to be dead. once again, I need to understand they are not attacking me personally but rather have a difference of opinion on this topic and I need to either get thicker skin, ignore them and respect their opinions or go elsewhere. I know there have been people who have left this site because of each of these types of scenarios. yes it is unfortunate but people are all different and really, to each their own, that is the beauty of the country we live in. -
here we go.

best bet is to just hit the pawn shops. you should be able to pick up a Mossberg 500 pretty cheap ($150). then just wack a couple inches off the butt stock. throw on a recoil pad and you will be good to go. I would recommend a 20 gauge as ammo for a 16 gauge is scarce and expensive.

my dad keeps a 38 super around loaded with bird shot to use on the snakes around his house. what did you do with the skin?

you can also get into the SW corner of the Wetstones off from highway 82. that road actually heads north along pretty much the whole west side of the mtns. also, (at least the last time I was there) you can walk in to the Haystack area from the JSix ranch area (exit 297 on I-10). also, you can camp at Kartchners and hike back in.

whatever happened to Ernesto C???
SunDevil replied to fatfootdoc's topic in Miscellaneous Items related to Coues Deer
I think he lurks. For those of you that do not know him, everything that has been said about him is dead on. he is a good guy. as matthew45 pointed out, after he left the site he was respectful in his personal words about all. it is our loss. unfortunately for future newbie, escouters, they will miss out on his knowledge of and willingness to share info on his 43B coues honeyholes. -
nope - I do not have permission from the hunter to post pics of the goat he took. we renamed Billy though. his new name is Wimpy. we observed another much smaller buck come into his herd, chase him off and steal his 4 does.
-
so the community locals will be pleased to know that Billy made it through the hunting season.

How many are hunting the Nov. 36A whitetail hunt
SunDevil replied to AzTrapper's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
we will be in 36C and will be camping. -
I do not know but I saw thousands of them this weekend. every top section of fence had one with it's web in it. some were yellow with red legs and some were yellow with black legs. on one yucca I counted 8, each with webs. they do not appear to hide, hoping more I think to have the wind blow an insect into their snare. they are pretty fast little guys.
-
as always - nice trophy - nice pics - nice story - nice flowers - nice sunset - nice fire ??? - nice dog - nice guy - congrats Doug!!!
-
also came across a few of these.
-
yep - only had 1 day to hunt. ended up getting another buck at 1:25 yesterday afternoon.

Last friday evening I saw a mule deer doe with triplets and was wondering what the odds of this were? I figured it is something I probably will never see again in my lifetime. I went and checked the book (Deer of the SW) but could not find any stats on the frequency of multiple births (twins or triplets). Has anyone else ever seen triplet fawns before? Does anyone know what the odds of triplet fawns being born are? I am guessing < 1% but would like to know for sure. Thanks. Chris.
