Is there anyone in AZ that buys pelts or do you have to ship them somewhere?

If anyone wants to get together to shoot some vermin, I'm willing. Never been varmit calling, but wanting to learn. Jeff

Griz, I sent you an email.

He looks like he is saying to himself, "I wish one of those camo wearing hillbillies would come by, I am starving!"

If I do not see a message that I sent in my "sent" folder, does that mean it did not go through? I sent a couple of PM's in the last few days, but when I just looked in my sent folder, none of them were there. Jeff

I have ordered a lot of ammo from Cabelas without paying a HazMat fee. I think that only applies to loose powder.

I have a Mule Deer hide that is in the freezer. I live in Gilbert. Just let me know when you want to come get it. I don't get home from work till after 6:00 most days. Jef

oops!

I use feathers with mine and it works well. I think PSE just came out with some new vanes that are made just for the Bisquit. If you tell shop you get your arrows from that you are using that rest, they can put a little extra glue in the right places to help with the problem. Jeff

Just ate a unit 21 tag samich. Yuck! 5 full days and 2 half days in the field 35 + hours glued behind the tripod 112 miles on the quad 500 + miles on the truck lost count of miles hiked 1 flat tire All my gear wet, muddy and / or rusty. And I still had a blast!

If you are going to die, might as well die on the deer mountain.

Just give me a valid tag and the rain will surely come. Happens EVERY FREAKING TIME!!!

I was looking at my can (that call) this morning and noticed that there isn't a way to make it hands free. He said, "I was looking at my can..." HA HA HA!!!! And now you guys want to see a picture of his can?

I was 20 miles from the truck when the rain came yesterday. A 20 mile quad ride (salt flat to Bald Hill) in the cold rain is not fun. I got out of there about 6:30 last night. Going back as soon as the wind dies. BTW, Dugas road sucks when it's wet! I swear I have 300 lbs of mud in my wheel wells.

That gets me exited! I'll be in 21 starting Monday morning through the end of rifle season.

That sucks! Stuck in "The land of fruits and nuts" with the Coues rut in full swing and tag in pocket. Just keep swilling the eggnog and before you know it you'll be planted behind the tripod again.

You can hunt with both rifle and bow, but you can only kill one deer per year. If you kill in Jan. you can't kill again till the following year.

I would use a .50 BMG, but again, that's just me.

I got off work at noon on Friday and was glassing a big canyon by 2:00. Stayed out till dark without even seeing a doe. Got up and was in position before sunup. Glassed non-stop till noon and did not even see a doe again. Not sure what's going on as there were a lot of deer in this canyon 2 weeks ago. I have the week after Christmas off, so that'll be my main hunting time. Hopefully things will pick up.

Josh, I saw the pics on MM. I'd shoot that buck without a second thought. I was in the Pine Mountain Area also, but not all the way to the wilderness boundry. Maybe 3-5 miles west of the campground that is at the end of the road.

Don't bogart that bass! And just how do YOU know what smoking a joint looks like? Hmmm?

Mesa Bass Pro Shops

Mesa is in the process of getting a Bass Pro Shops, but the blue hairs are trying to stop it.

A few things to consider. 1. Were you shooting at a steep angle? Your bullet will hit considerably higher than what your chart says if shooting at a angle(either up or down, doesn't matter.) 2 years ago I shot right over the back of a decent Coues because I forgot to consider the angle factor. 2. At the distance you were shooting, "8"above the back" can be very deceiving. Your cross hair probably covers at least 4" just by itself at that distance. If you saw any daylight at all between the bulls back and your crosshair, you probably shot too high. 3. Are you sure you missed? I've shot spike elk with 180 grain Core loct bullets that just stood there an looked unhurt. I once shot a small spike 3 times dead center of the chest at 100 yards and he still walked 100 yards before falling over. 150 grain bullet at the distance you were shooting might not have had the energy to make the big bull appear hit. 4. 24" of drop seems a lot at 440 yards, especially if you sighted in for a 250 yards zero. According to Remington, a rifle sighted in at 200 yards will only drop 20". http://www.remington.com/ammo/ballistics/c...ults.asp?cal=20
