1:8 twist out of a 6.5 CM the 143gr seems to be the sweet spot.

I have had great luck with the 143 eldx out of several 6.5 CM’s so you have had no reason to try anything else. As far reloading components go like stated above they are hard to get right now but also not impossible. Thanks to some great members on this site they have been on top of posting links when hard to find reloading items come available, you just have to get to them quick.

Gone already lol.

Thanks to everyone for the heads up on brass and bullets. It has really come in handy 👍🏼

Looking at getting a new hunting rig that is good for getting me into some rough areas. Im looking for something small and compact suv. What are you guys running? not looking for a side by side but something I can flat tow behind my pickup. Was looking into something like a Suzuki Grand Vitara.

So I ended up getting a Suzuki Grand Vitara for a hunting rig. Even though you can’t tell in the first photo the paint job was terrible! Clear coat was almost completely gone! I installed some bigger 10ply AT tires and painted it with some Raptor lining….it’s ready for the AZ desert now. (Sorry for the picture rotation, I couldn’t figure out how to rotate them properly)

I’d like to hear what people have to say as well. My daughter drew a December coues tag in the unit.

My 14yo daughter drew NM unit 27 December coues!!!

That’s a big day for you guys! Congrats!

Good deal!!!

I’m curious about the mandatory reporting as well?

What about e-tags? I have heard of AZGFD going to e-tags eventually?

Does anyone know how many elk and antelope applications AZ had this year (2022)? curious to see how it looked compared to last year? Or the past 2 years?

Do you know how that compares to last year?

PM sent

So when do we think the results will be out? For 2022?🤣

I have a 6.5cm and run the trigger at 1.5#. I personally don’t like it any higher than 2# max.

Great deal!

They still do have a active game ranch in that area. It’s on the north side of I-40. I have heard people in the past years mention they seen wild hogs off of the interstate but they happened to be on that ranch. https://www.ultimatehoghunting.com/business/dunton-ranch/

Has anyone seen these hogs around?

I hear of this more and more and it’s sad! This is exactly why we are loosing our access and ranchers are shutting their places down.

That’s funny, I was at the same field day with my daughter! Me and my daughter are actually in the backyard of one of your photos 🤣

Anyone have any experience with the Jeep Liberty?

Was someone really doing this!? That would be awesome!!! I’m curious if he went down there again this year? If I were him I wouldn’t step foot on AZ soil again! Lol

Yeah that’s one of the big problems, they make you pay for them! Another reason for looking hard at the Suzuki’s. You can get them for dang good prices if you’re patient.
