Always wanted to go but I like to hike but not a touristy person where there is a constant flow of people. Maybe next year if my ankles get better and I can hike more than 3 or 4 miles a day.

Never been there, just heard the stories. How many trees are in it?

Drove from Payson to Mesa and at around 5:00 going into Fountain Hills there was almost no plume to be seen.

RIP Mike.

I would practice on a different stock first.

I have hunted within eyesight of it for Javelina but have not seen many deer. It is a very popular area and also for hikers. I would look into north of Superior, Top of the World and Pinto Creek areas.

My achilles tendons are giving me problems and after spending $2350 for 1.25cc's in one tendon I decided it was best to just put in for bonus points and give them a chance to heal. I may break out the bow and do OTC. Tough decision but I need them to heal. Good Luck everyone.

Beier for the win. Thanks WildWoody

Very popular upgrade. http://www.savageshooters.com/forumdisplay.php?104-Axis-Bolt-Action-Rifles

40# Javelina and 400# Elk with the same gun is a tall order, even for a handloader.

Lots of people use Boyds on here. http://www.savageshooters.com/forum.php

What is the handle made from and what steel is it, hardness, blade lenght?

90% of us just take binos into the field. A Spotting scope is for after you find deer that are far away so you can get a closer look. Most people are content with 10X and 15X binoculars as they have enough experience with bucks to know if it is a buck they want to shoot. Not a dang thing wrong with walking five miles. We have all done it and most do it regularly and it will give you experience you can't get by looking through a pair of binoculars like finding tracks and bumping critters and learning how to find your way out and back. Don't believe everything you read you are on the right track.
