    lion season

    I believe you. I am one of the people that shot one, however accidental isn't how I would describe it. I bought a tag, knowing there was a high population of lions in the area. I was deer hunting at the time and got lucky. I used knowledge of deer and lions to fill my tags. How is that different from finding a fresh kill, then running dogs till you tree or bay a lion? Both hunting, both legal. With all the anti hunters out there trying to shut us all down we might want to find a way to support each other.

    lion season

    i am always hunting lions, or was always hunting lions before they changed the dates. I don't like the use of dogs but would never come out and say they shouldn't be used. It just isn't my thing. If the state of Az sells me a tag, and I use a legal manner of take, whats the big deal? I would love to see the statistics on how many lions are killed by "hunters" and by houndsmen. Me thinks those numbers will favor the houndsmen.

    Meat proccessing

    I just bought a Engel Fridge/freezer with a solar panel to run it for the exact same problem. We bone out the little things, and put them in an ice chest. Now we dont have to rush out to a processor and don't have to worry about ice melting.

    Price check in sporting goods

    The prices are high if he needs to sell them. It reminds me of a friend of mine that when his wife was bugging him to sell his old Ford Bronco. He put a for sale sign in the back window and when he got phone calls would tell them he wanted 15 thousand for it. His wife never knew how much he was asking but knew it was up for sale and quit bugging him. Win win.

    Leica Geovids or 15*56 swarovs

    I have the Geovids in 10x and I love them. That being said I would never buy them again. Too much money for such a sorry warranty. I carry the swarovski 15x and love them, they fit me well and mount to a tripod quickly and solidly. I do not like Leica's mounting system. On a side note, I cant wait until my Leica 1600 LRF gets in. They say august.

    Here is # 2

    I made almost the exact shot with my A bolt 270wsm 4 years ago. 150 gr Ballistic silver tip, zeroed at 300 yards. I held 4 inches over his back and about 5 inches back. Smack, both lungs and heart. It was at 420 with about the same wind. Since then gone to dials, range it, dial it, smack it.

    I Got Robbed!!

    I too feel sorry for you. Theft is theft, even if you are exposing yourself to higher risk. Being honest is like being pregnant, you either are or you are not.

  15. Nice choice. That is a classic.
  16. It was there for the early bird special. I lived 1 block away from the tree they found one in 6 years ago. They relocated that one too. There isnt any rhyme or reason to which ones get the thumbs up or thumbs down.

    how much would you Pay????

    Someone is selling one on Craigslist in Phoenix for 100.00. What it is worth is a tricky question, that all depends on so many factors. (how bad someone wants it, compared to how bad the other person wants to or needs to sell) If you were to take one like it into a Pawn Shop they might give you 20.00 bucks for it, or you might sell it to someone who is looking for that exact setup and is willing to pay 200.00 with all the arrows and everything else. I dont know if that helps but with used bows the value is wacky. Good luck.

    The bear videos I promised

    This video reminds me of a call I made to Game and Fish a couple of years ago before a bear hunt. A group of us were going and had 4 of 5 tags, we were joking around about what we would do if we saw a sow with cubs. I called the G&F line and asked customer service since the only animals off limits were sows with cubs, if we tagged the cubs first could one of us then tag the sow. The customer service lady almost screamed "NO" then she paused and said, "hold on". She asked the Law Enforcement Officer and came back on the line and in a really sad voice told us it was legal. We could shoot her the moment she no longer had live cubs. I wouldn't do it but the reaction we got from her was funny. You could just hear the contempt in her voice, until I told her we wouldn't do it, we just wanted to know the law. BTW great videos
