Can we stop whining in the forums?

The guy set the bar for the entire state!! Blue Ridge football was something of legend when we were in high school. It would be great to see AIA or the Arizona sports community as a whole, take the time and really shine a spotlight on who and how he was.

I like the shorter barrels just for ease of use. Same reason I use a 16" AR for predator calling. My current gun is a 28" barrel. I'll go handle some this weekend and see if 26" is better then I thought. Prdatr- never seen that web sight before. I just emailed them. Thanks

Wanting to buy a Remington 870 12 gauge barrel for predator calling to use on my current 870. Looking for a barrel of 20 to 24 inch length that takes chokes. Most online prices seem high enough I would just rather buy a whole new shotgun for the price. Let me know what you got. Thanks

Don't expect that. That's not the norm.

Are bears the type of animal to blow out of the country after being spooked or shot at?

All the troops to be deployed will be support troops either way. Unfortunately that’s part of hunting near the border. Had we not had so many enemies within(liberal democrats, Rino republicans), our border wouldn’t be an issue ever. Thank them for your troubles, not Trump.

No, I am quite sure that did not happen. I guarantee that didn't happen, lol

I am getting conflicting stories, from others off this site. As well as experience. My dad shot his bear in a area we were hunting elk and seen him a week before. The bear season started a week after he killed his elk. He went back to the same area we had seen the bear the week before hoping it might be there. Sure enough, it was. Of course it wasn’t spooked either. I have no doubt they move when need be. I was just curious if being spooked made there habits change like big deer do or are they more like javelina and come back after the dust settles, granted they have a reason too like food, etc. I hear from some that hunt bear regularly they have home areas, others on here say they are nomadic. Hmmm

No not really. Most animals run after being spooked or shot at. Some come back, some come back more skittish and cautious and others leave, never to return again. That’s what I was getting at. How are bear in that regard.

Like American Werewolf in London, stay on the path, lol. Kidding! You'll be fine. But off highway travel usually requires a permit or such.

Then you'll be to old to hunt like the rest of us who are waiting for the same thing

Broke my tripod adapter today. Does anyone use these types? Not looking to break the bank. Thoughts?

I know, that's exactly what happened to me,lol

I appreciate that. Thanks very much. I found a Jim White one I had stashed away I had forgotten about, that will work. I still plan on upgrading equipment down the road so I still want/wanted to hear the opinions on here.

Just like he said. Depends on terrain. Also your style. I don't like glassing and sitting long for coyote, so I like a quick light setup, were I do lots of 15-20 minute stands. 1-8x24 or 1-6 x24 powered scope for enough out to 3-400 yards if necessary but not likely. Most my shots are always quick and under 200 yards, Under a 100 easily the majority, where the lowest power comes in handy. Red dot on a shotgun would be good!!

Is there any downfalls to the strap/holder style verse the screw in type??

Ill look into those mentioned. Got a pair of Vulture 15x56 and may upgrade down the road so I was looking for one that was somewhat universal or would work with what I may get down the road.. The outdoorsman is close to that as are the strap style. Thanks

A 12 in my mind and on the internet forums, lol. 3-4 in reality. 5-6 in some good years. I do more single day varmint hunts to get my hunting fix over a longer period of time throughout the year. I'm not dedicated(scouting, spending the money on top notch optics, etc) as I'd like to be. Life just seems so busy all the time. But I'm happy so no complaints.
