CouesPursuit

Not the lakes you mentioned but I can confirm Willow Springs is low and Black Canyon launch is way out of the water. We caught and released a couple footballs fishing big baits this past weekend. Tuned in for a Show Low family trip later in July. Thx.

Any recommendations for service in the east valley?

The new bill makes the process easier.

Thanks for the heads up.

Bear evolution alongside wolves and a yard full of barking dogs had the bear distracted just enough to couple with her incredibly stupid, lucky but perfect timing. I bet that one plays out bad 95 times out of 100 or worse.

Interesting comment.. I don't believe there are more than 2 millennials that have posted in this thread, if any, and the OP isn't.

There has been attempts to remove non-native fish from dozens of waterbodies in Arizona for decades and not one has been successful, but they do dent large size classes, populations and cost lots of time and money.

I have a Caldwell you could borrow in Mesa. I'll also be at Usery almost every weekend starting in a couple weeks if our visits lined up. I'm sure many others here would offer the same if you're on the other side of town. Others probably have a better chrono as well.

I share the same opinion as Millhouse above. I carry Meopta 10s in a chest harness and they shine on weight and are used for 90% of my glassing, all on a tripod unless I'm still hunting. I also have Meopta 15s and they make the pack any time I expect having to pick out bedded animals or glass a mile away. Quality 10s will decipher mature animals from not. Adding 15s help but I would never leave the truck without my 10s. I leave my 15s behind more than I like to admit. Finally, 12s and a spotter has become very appealing to me after having a trophy hunt and digiscoping and documenting animals, though I can't bring myself to sell my 10s to make that happen.

I'll take the pegs and tripod please, pm incoming.

In addition to my prospected bonus point pass on a late Coues hunt in a top tier unit. I'm (almost) speechless. Drew the 2nd tag on my 2nd choice, 41W. 9 points, I'm genuinely sorry to those guys with 25+. Clearly this was nothing more than a dream, but proof that dreams come true. From unit info to tips on just enjoying the once in a lifetime opportunity, if anyone can share anything at all, I really, really appreciate it. I look forward to sharing the journey with you.

Thank you, TJ (and again all), hope you and your lovely bride are well and enjoying yourselves up there. Glad to see your post.

Can anyone help shed some light on other long range shooting opportunities? Does BLM eventually put out any restrictions? Thanks.

One of my fishing partners ripping flies on his. They are cool watercrafts.

There are "better" lightweight rifles with smoother actions but for the money, I couldn't be happier with my Savage LWH with handloads. It sits at 7#s on the nose with a 3-15x on top and 4 rounds in it and shoots sub-MOA out to 500 (so far).

Coueswhitetail.com A species so captivating it has its own site without a worthless adjective attached. #firstchoicelatecoues4ever

This is one of the very few and true instances of life not being fair. I'm so sorry for your unimaginable loss and will send prayers and every positive thought your way.

I saw the vacuum sealer and figured the worst! Haha sorry. I'm impressed you caught 2 that big hook and line. It would be cool to troll them deep on some big anchovie hooks for the heck of it (looks like Pleasant for stripers).

Gizzard shad You eat them?

Similar to a recent ad, I have 2 unopened boxes, 200 count of 143gr ELD-X bullets. I will trade for - 1 box per 100 count or both boxes for 150 count 7mm/.284 140-150gr. Barnes TSX/TTSX or 160gr Nosler Accubond bullets. 1500 WLRM/CCI450 primers 1 box per 1# Retumbo, RL26, H4895 powder Trade only, not for sale. Located in Mesa. Pm offers. Thx.

Trade pending on RL26 and Barnes. I may trade another 2 boxes if someone wants to make a primer trade.

My dad is looking for one to get ready for the grandkids, please let me know if you have one for sale that is in good shape. Prefer wood stock. Thx.

10/10 thread, hunt and experience for you and your family. Congratulations on all accounts!

Some will say it just helps by bumping it back up to the top, but I will never understand why people do this to someone's sale in the classifieds. Start your own thread with your questions and you will get genuine input and more shared knowledge.

Yup, then you can spend $1k+ on bullets, primers and powder you still won't think you have enough of or be able to shoot it all. But seriously, it's worth it. And your prices weren't bad.
