Located in QC but I think they have multiple trailers set up around northern Az for us hunters like kd300 said. Great guys, and just awesome in what they do!

Thanks shedhunteraz pm sent. Mlder33 that would have been a mess for sure, that lead and copper weight adds up. Thanks for the tip, I'll make sure I'll reinforce them 😃

Well I was able to make it up to my spot where I have seen grouse before. This was literally a "shotgun trip" as I left my house at 2am and arrived at 6:30am. The weather was perfect, didn't need a jacket or sweater on, blue sky's with a little fog in the meadows. The Elk were screeing their heads off all morning and was able to call in 2 bulls to about 50 yards, one reply nice one guessing at least 360". Unfortunately my little 410 compact shotgun never left my camelpack, but had lots of fun on the 10 mile hike. As I got home I chatted with a buddy that was up there chasing Bulls and he said he had a grouse fly up right at his feet and scared him half to death. He was only a few miles away from me that morning, so that was good to know I was in a good area.

Every year I see Blue Grouse on a hike we do. Looks like they are in season now and I'm thinking about packing a shotgun with me in case we see more this year. I picked up a old light weight breakdown savage .410 today so I could pack this into the area we are going. Is a .410 sufficient enough at a 30 yard shot using 3" #4 shoot? The hike is about 15 miles, and this little gun weighs 4lb and can conceal in my pack easy. Last year I got within 30 yards pretty easy on these birds. Thoughts?

Wow that's way up there

Cotton fields out there, about 1/2 mile away from the main roads. Just drive right up to the spot, shootin 50 yards from the car.

Had a blast this morning off of Ellsworth

Those berger are long, to long for my 25 wssm since I have to push them back even further to fit in my AR-15 mag. Nice comparison

Speak to the owner and let him know your expectations and try to agree in getting this resolved, I wouldn't talk to the manager, sales guy, or mechanic. Second thing I would research and have a good lawyer on your side. Not necessarily hire one but know one in case this does get ugly. Third if they don't want to do anything, then I would let them know your going to hire a lawyer.

Great job and may the good Lord bless you guys with more to come!

Darn side by sides , I've always wanted one but have been thinking twice lately. Nice shooting and sticking with it with those nats and heat. Looks like she has a little brown on her muzzle, great looking bear, congrats!

oh crapola

Hurry go buy a power ball ticket ! Awesome man very cool

Congrats on a great bull!

I'm thinking I saw one a while back at AJI

I agree coues79, I was off the road yesterday about 4 miles back in and had Bulls screaming all around me. I had a coyote varmint call open reed with me so I tried my best to do a cow call. I called in 2 bulls, the second one was a very nice bull about 360ish. I got it all on film to, pretty saweet!

Unit 1 was on fire today, Bulls buggeling until 1pm. #wishihadatag

Great job!

Thanks Jim for the info, around greens peak is where I am planning on hunting. If everything looks good with work I'll be leaving tonight to hunt tomorrow morning. I'm getting pumped to go!

Thanks guys, I was in the area of the mesa office so I stopped in and the gentleman at the desk said is no longer a requirement to have a stamp, just patience and a valid hunting license. I also called the Carefree and Pinetop offices and they also said just a valid hunting license no stamp required. I'm just getting done pattering my 410 and I am having mixed feelings about taking it now. Looks like I'll be taking the SBE II 12 gauge. Might just bring both and decide next week when I get there? Undecided

Ok will do! Thanks for the heads up on 4, 5, and 31. and I checked with G&F there is no stamp required. 😃

Thanks again Lark for all your knowledge, very much appreciated. I am going to go get that stamp today to make sure I have it. It looks like they introduced them in unit 5 and 4 and were protected for 5 years until 2013 the 5 years were up. Sounds like they are easy to kill once you find one? That's the tough part finding them :-). I read somewhere last night their range is like 1-2 acres which is good to know.

Just found this: These animals are a primary small game species hunted in Arizona. Hunting small game requires only a valid Arizona regular hunting or combination hunting/fishing license. A game bird stamp, which is available free of charge at Game and Fish offices, is required to hunt blue grouse. A U.S. Forest Service Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests map is a handy tool. http://www.wmonline.com/area/gamefish/grouse.htm

" I do not believe you are doing the right thing by withholding information that may help authorities locate the owner of the bull." The authorities??? What the heck? How will they try to find the owner if they even attempted? Maybe phone call to all tag holders asking them if someone shot a bull and was unable to recover it? Then they could cite them for letting the meat go to waste? Bone777 I'm with you, good job posting this because I know G&F would never try to find the owner, they don't have the resources

Cool, yea I just double checked myself, thanks lance!
