Redman

I saw that, I think we are still a 5-10 years away for common use, but it is coming. Be interesting to see the impact.... the anti SXS hunters are going to have a cow and those landowners in Montana, Wyoming, etc that block millions of acres of NF, will probably blow a gasket

Redhawk purchased the land from Mercer, they will or are mining it again for copper. For decades, Mercer property had little to no legal access, Lori used to allow a few to pay to access but that stopped. There were a few “back doors” ways to get in, but the main road has been locked for decades. Now Redhawk has closed those back doors as well. This isn’t anything new, but it’s still a dang shame. Much of the access on the Mammoth / San Manuel / Redington side has been blocked for years. I know one of the ranchers personally. He caught people shooting up his equipment and water tanks, called the Sheriff and Game & Fish, and nothing was done. After thousands of dollars in damage, he finally locked up his property (Smallhouse). Now there is no access—and honestly, I can’t blame him. He caught the people responsible, and still nothing happened. He still lets sheep and a few deer hunters on, but it's not open and won't be. Game & Fish isn’t going to do ANYTHING to address Redhawk or any access into 32. They’ve had 30 years to address this access issue and have done absolutely NOTHING...Turkey creek from Safford is the same way... a access road could have been cut decades ago on both sides... now, nothing will happen the cost is a 100x more and more regulation. 32 is as just as bad as 30B - forgot it as a hunting unit - wait until personal drones are available and fly to the public land...

Merry Christmas!

DId he have an OTC elk tag? Hag he hunted OTC elk at all? If he didn't have a tag, that is a rough one.

We were finally checked after many years of not seeing a G&F officer in 33—and it was a good interaction. He was driving a CAN-AM SXS X3 with a small decal on the door, so I didn’t realize he was an officer at first. It wasn’t until he asked to check my son’s license that I figured it out. He wasn’t on the main trail either; we had just stopped like we normally do to chat and see how things are going. He checked my OHV tag and I noticed he also looked in the back of my Honda (it’s open), which was fine—there was just an ice chest and a yellow bin back there. Now to the actual question: They can ask to search, but you don’t have to allow it, right? I don’t have anything to hide, so I probably would have asked why he wanted to look and then said “okay” anyway.

Bear Down! The University of Arizona is just better - at everything! p.s. ASU coach needs a bra with those tittes!

I have one - it has a hard time with 6.5 and 7mm bullets - a lot of blanks and then crazy speeds into 4000 FPS - normally around 3100 my 30 cal spot on

nice thanks - I swore I was following you - just did again

Nice job! It sounds like you were by yourself, which can definitely make things more challenging. Sometimes, sharing too much information can open up an ethical debate, but I appreciate the honesty. You practiced and at some point everyone shoots a deer beyond what they practiced. I’ve seen a professional shooter—someone who competes in intense courses with varying distances, running from one target to the next and demonstrating exceptional skill—miss an animal after going through a long setup for the shot. It just goes to show how unpredictable things can be, even for the pros.

Muzzleloading (ML) is a process I've refined over time. With each rifle I've used, I've learned something new. The ML I use now is my best shooting rifle, custom-made by Bestill Creations. I also have two other custom-built rifles. The best advice I can give is to always mark your ramrod and ensure 1000% that your rifle isn't already loaded—your life depends on it. Beyond the ramrod mark, it's all about trial and error. Different sabots will perform better than others, depending on your barrel. Even a few grains of powder can make a big difference in your shot grouping. Also, keep in mind that most states, including New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado, have "outlawed" power scopes on muzzleloaders. Depending on your hunting plans, you’ll need to consider this. I worry that Arizona may follow suit in the near future as well. Here are a few things I recommend, depending on your setup and approach: Arrowhead has a great website, and Luke provides a wealth of knowledge through his YouTube videos. Hanks Muzzleloader always has solid information, too. In terms of equipment, here are some essentials: Bullet sizer Loading press Quality scale (for measuring BH 209 by weight—not volume) Arrowhead LMRP primer holders Load-through funnel Cedar Mountain Quick Loader Quality cleaning supplies Hope this helps BH 209 is always hard to come by. When you find some, get an extra container. Another option to consider is a Thompson Center (used) then equip with a Match Grade Machine barrel / arrowhead breach plug, lighten the trigger and that would be a great 300 yd ML

Really nice mulley - congrats

Peter Piper Pizza? LOL

congrats to that young man! great times, great dad taking him out

I have a different take on Camofire.- I thought it was a scam, poor return policy and I know people who work for businesses that sold (or provided) items to them and per the people I know- jack asses - I also noted anythig on sale I could find on Amazon for 1-3% more but way better return policy. What I did like is seeing things I have no use for but often thought about buying 😀

It says Blackhorn 209 - then high performance muzzleloading propellant on the container. @Arizona 79 as stated Scheels has some in Chandler - if you absolutely need one - I have 1-2, the price is $90 ea. Same price as the store - as I will need to replace.
