Congrats Bob he outta taste great. I got up at 3:45 on friday and drove to a spot on Colcord Rd. I was getting my camo on in the back of the truck a heard an Elk bugle. I got all my gear together adn wouldn't you know it I left my tag home and had to go into Payson Town to Wally World and get a duplicate. Drove back out to a tank I know off of the 102 Road and sat there for 10 hours watching Jays and Squirrels. LOL Usually it is a good spot so I headed out and setup camp just at sunset. Went back to the tank at 4:45 the next morning and at 5:30 I hear a bird gobble about 3-400 yards away just as another Elk bugles about 100 yards behind me. A minute later the bird gobbles again so off I go. It took about 15 minutes to get in his general area and after calling as I got closer and then in the general vicinity he went into silent mode. By 10:00 it was windy so I drove around and called about 15 different spots before heading back to camp late in the day. I thought I was in a offbeat spot but there was a flurry of ATV's yesterday evening. This morning I went back to where I heard the gobbler but turned up nothing. I drove about 10 miles this morning from 4:50 to 7:30 stopping every 100 yards to call but all I heard were crickets and no shots. I'll give it a rest for a while and head back out in two weeks. Another member sent me a pick of his bird yesterday and it was a dandy. Maybe he'll post it up with a story.

Is there a letter after the 110?

What kind of rattler is this?

I like H322

My issues with single shots is they are usually a lot lighter so felt recoil is more. Might be fine for a kid to shoot a few times standing up so they see what recoil is all about and to learn gun safety but my first choice would be pump. A good reliable semi is the Tri-Star and would be the way to go once they have some practical experience with trigger control and keeping the gun pointed in a safe direction. Just my opinion. Some kids are faster learners than others and react to recoil differently.

Is that a Leupold scope?

Sean that's just awesome. Congrats to Draysen.

Congrats.

Only come in 12

What did you get?

Looks like a good time. Is it me or are those fish small? Don't see anything over 10 pounds. Is that the norm for down there?

Cool looking snake

It's supposed to dampen the vibration and increase accuracy. You move it around until you get the best results. I think Browning came out with it about 10 or more years ago.

Casey, What scope is it?

I have an S8 that is about 18 months old and has 64gb.

This one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crittermap.backcountrynavigator.license&hl=en_US

I mostly used it to find my way back to camp, not sure I can do that with OnX in the middle of nowhere.

Maybe Lance will chime in, he is the resident scope snob. LOL IIRC he said the Athlon didn't track repeatedly.

Might be ok for Bonefish or Whitefish and that may be a future trip but I am looking primarily for an offshore trip.

So what scope is on it?

And big fish contests.

Good news. I am headed to 23 in the morning and again on Sunday. Wish me luck.

You could try Mission Bay, Point Medanos or Dog Beach.

No problem. I misunderstood that you only read through the regs and maybe didn't know about the hunt unit info that is on the website. If you can glass one up then spot and stalk would be an option. If you can find an area with even old scat it would be worth hunting it or varmint calling but I would use an electronic call so you don't end up with one in your lap. Woodpecker and cub in distress calls would be your best bet. Carry a handgun too, I had one about 300 pounds charge my truck a couple of years ago after I startled it. Covered 20 feet in the blink of an eye.
