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.

I am your huckleberry! I have an ATX and I would rather have an STX - I have the same case that we can trade also. Send you a PM.

or any starlink - anyone wanted cell service / internet in the backwoods should get starlink -

newer iphones allow one to text via satelite and make an emergency call (911)- no additional cost

Clearned our some messages - should be able to receive

my pump has a screen that can get blocked and reduce water pressure. any pump works that 12V or even 110 if you run it off generator. Amazon has multiple pumps that are $50 vs $200 for pentair - some are louder than others. I would target sone with the sam PSI - most are 45psi with a 3 GPM - but there are some that go up to 75psi

That is way cool, thanks for sharing

This is a must for any Starlink - good deal, but I already have one- smaller one this would work better

Thanks for the update and the offer. I may go buy one today.

very sorry for your loss -

curious how this chrono is working for you?
