Thanks for sharing Jay! We should never forget the sacrifices made on that beach! God Bless those Heroes!

Thanks RCD, but I'm in Yuma, six of one, half dozen of the other either way. Mesa might save me 10 minutes tops. Oh well.

This is what I have been looking for, too bad I live over 3.5 hours away! Wife needs a new rifle, we want a 7mm-08.

I'll kick in 20 for gas or whatever. Let's get em to Greenhead! PM me the details if it goes through.

Community Christian Church, Yuma AZ. Awesome to be among such a strong group of Believers!

Certain parts of Christian creed (ordinances, rituals, etc.) are not common with each other but the core of the faith is consistent. There is one common bond amongst all Christians and that is our Unshakeable, Undeniable Faith in our Savior and Shepherd Lord Jesus Christ! We all share the belief that the Master climbed up on the Cross for the Salvation of all Mankind! We all believe that His sacrifice is the the New Covenant with God's people available at any time for each and all of us. That goes for Mormons, Catholics, Protestants, and non-denominational Christians alike. Proud to see so many Brothers in Faith. God Bless You All!

Lupine and Buckbrush are two of the best foods you can find for Rocky Mountain Mule Deer (Thanks BOHNTR)! These plants usually proliferate after a cool burn. You are on to something. Keep it up!

Amen sjvcon! I don't need the State to sanction my Marriage! That is between me, my bride, and the Good Lord Above! Bravo, I feel the exact way you do and agree with your entire post!

Really helps to see their head, but based on the cow vs bear pic looks like a good one. Definitely has nice fur!

No Kidding Coach! The Yuma County Sheriffs Office has a Bearcat and an MRAP. Never heard of or seen an IED in Yuma other than the ones they test at YPG. Overkill! If these guys want to act like soldiers join the Marines and go fight real bad guys that shoot back!

Rookie move for sure! Along with calling from your (fill in the blank) and driving away within seconds of letting a bugle rip. It never ceases to amaze me how lazy and stupid some people are!

Sent you a PM

Jim Hartsock at Southwest Wildlife is as good as they come as a taxidermist and you can be rest assured you will be treated with great care as a customer as well. I would not hesitate to take my stuff to Mogollon either.

Figured out how to attach with my phone. Here is the happy family!

Awesome photos, awesome dog! You are living right my friend!

Nice Job Kevin!

I've never used my 15's on an elk hunt. Sheep hunt is a whole 'nother ball of wax. I have 3 sets of binos. 7x35 are generally around my neck. I also have some 10x50's and some 15x56 depending on what and where I'm hunting I'll put either of those in my pack with a tripod. If I bring the 10's I usually leave the other two at home. I don't have a spotting scope. I rarely feel undergunned with glass with the exception of field judging animals from a long ways off. For simply locating critters, I'm set. For elk woods I'd go for a pair of 8's or smaller. For more open country maybe larger.

Hi folks, Just seeing if anyone has a 7mm-08 rifle that you might want to part with. My wife caught the elk fever last year and wants a different gun. I think the 7mm-08 cartridge is perfect for what we want to do. The rifle needs to be fairly lightweight and easy to carry. That was her biggest gripe after carrying around an old lever action last year. I have been looking at the Tikka T3 Lite and Savage Lady Hunter, but any rifle that is around 6 lbs empty might do. Shorter than normal length of pull is probably helpful but we might be able to work on that later. I have a Savage 110 .243 with a Burris Fullfield II scope for trade value. Willing to put some cash on top. Let me know if you have something that might work for us. Thanks, Nick

Hi Patrick, Just wanted to update you on last weekend. My stepson Andrew shot his first perfect round of 25 during the SCTP Commissioners Cup Trap competition under what I understand were some miserably windy conditions. We believe his team finished second for their group. Not sure how he finished individually, but we couldn't be more proud of him. 8 rounds of trap is a lot for anyone to shoot, but Andrew shot 4 20's, a 17, a 19, a 22 and the 25. This is the first team he has been a part of and he improved tremendously over the course of the season. Parents this is an excellent program to build lifelong skills in our young people while enjoying the outdoors. If your kids have any interest I would highly recommend the program. Good Luck, Nick

Yes I guess what you would call companion tags have gone away. Hunts will now occur from Aug 15 through Dec. 4th. 7 tags per hunt, 8 two week hunts. Two archery only hunts, and 6 general hunts. 56 total tags for cow or yearling only. Not sure what more than 3 months of constant pressure versus "companion" pressure will do to the hunting and availability of the buffs. I am very curious how this will turn out. Also curious what the Guides and Outfitters think of this new set up. Wonder if they drove this? It is certainly too late for any comments for this round of the Hunt Guidelines process but something to watch out for next time for sure! Also the Park Service is soliciting comments on Bison Management within the National Park. Might not be a bad idea for hunters to let them know their thoughts on that as well.

That is a fantastic trophy!

Mexicali is a city in northern Baja near El Centro CA. The sheep that live in the southern half of the border states are Ovis canadensis mexicana. I like the mexicana vs nelsoni sub species, although the flaring horns of the nelsoni is pretty cool.

Mr. Mandile nailed it. Good luck catching it with your bare hands! LOL!

From the Harvest Report: LARRY DUHAMMEL Hunt Number 6023, Unit 37B, 32 7/8 Curl R, 31 6/8 Curl L, 14 7/8 Base R, 15 Base L, 22 4/8 greatest spread, 21 tip to tip, 6 Years Old, 94 4/8 AZ Score, 162 5/8 B&C Green Score Nick

Civics lesson for today...The United States of America is NOT a democracy! We are a Constitutional Republic! In a democracy, decision are simply made by majority rule. If anybody here went to a public high school, we all know how well popularity contests work! LOL! Our Founding Fathers were extremely careful to not let our government be a democracy. A democracy is just begging for tyranny!
