Good deals

An overnight on his boat, split six ways, is the same cost as a 1.5 day on the party boats, but with 30 less people and a much quieter approach. If someone wants to put a trip together, I'm in. So what are we looking at per person? I'm tackle challenged for anything over 50#'s currently but that could change if the need existed.

No need to get ruffled, I started this thread to allow discussion on the topic. It was surprising to me how polarizing this issue was. I know before you mentioned that there was conflicting data on this? You mentioned some statistics there, can you share your sources? I really do want to understand the topic better and do my part as a hunter to conserve our ecosystems. It seems that sources like huntfortruth.org think that this research was put forth by econazis intent on banning hunting. Thats why the podcast with Newberg was so enlightening. I would have otherwise never guessed that the Peregrine Fund was established by hunters and was a partner organization to AES, MDF, etc. I have learned a lot in the past few weeks and I am happy to say that endeavor started here. We can use CWT to facilitate conservation if we can just stop griping with each other. So no more hunting or shooting lead .22 or shot shells for you? I dont know about no more, but I certainly will change some habits. With our first rifle Kaibab hunt in the family coming up this year I will definitely either shoot copper or commit to taking the carcass out whole. Its a doe hunt, so pack out isnt as big of a concern. When I shoot gophers in MT I wont leave them out on logs for birds to eat. In all of this I havent read or heard anything about target shooting, so probably wont change that. As far as other big game, I dont do a lot of rifle hunting but when I do, I will consider alternatives to lead. My son had a 12 b tag and his grand father had given him his custom springfield 1903 3006 spr. right before he passed away. That rifle will not shoot copper bullets, but it loves 150 gr accubonds so we brought heavy contractor bags and I put the entire gut pile in it and hauled it off, we didnt leave anything for the condors. What did you eventually do with it?

Groups of 3 or 5? What's the 6th group going to tell you that the first group didn't?

Shootins one thing, killing shot is another. I tend to agree, most people I have met couldn't hit the same target twice with a benchrest gun, on a good day. People seem to have visons of grandeur because they can put two shots in a dime at the range but get flustered and shake like a leaf when the time comes to do the deed and look around for a rest.

Awesome

Welcome Jim. I concur with Metau.

Check with Game and Fish. They sponser a Junior Dove Hunt every year. http://www.azgfd.gov/pdfs/h_f/gamecamp/Robbins%20Butte%20Juniors%20Dove%20Hunt%202009.pdf

Which scope did you settle on?

For Official Use Only

Barrel length?

The last time I drew a Kaibab Tag was in 97 or 98 and AZG&F gave me a voucher for lead free ammo so this has been going on for at least that long. As far as I can remember the Barnes X Bullet was the first lead free bullet. I loaded a bunch of 120's in my 7 Mag and dropped a Couse like a sack of potatoes in the early 90's. The shot was about 200 yards at about a 20 degree downhill shot about 2" off the spine. Also took a Caribou and a black bear with the same load.

Rachel Wells would be my choice.

That didn't take long. CWT Peeps always step up.

Dibs. LOL Where are you located. Shoot me some pics, how old is it? 602-499-0610

Looks like the Yellow Tail bite died. Probably because I expedited my son's passport. LOL

Never been much of a watch person. I was given a Hamilton at graduation in 70 but it went belly up soon after. What would be a good Rolex to invest in either used or new that would be under $3-5K? Any local places worth dealing with? I know the sand is running out of my hourglass so this will also be a momento of sorts for my son.

What area would that be? Lakeside

I would of stayed in town this weekend for that offer. It was very windy out there this morning.

You are thinking of the Jordan Buck. The 25-20 generates less than 500FT#'s and is actually no longer legal in Wisconsin where the buck was taken. I believe the buck was shot a bunch of times. Still the World Record Typical at over 200" for over 80 years. Lot of story around it.

I think the old Cutler Hammer breakers were the worse. Take the dead front off and breakers would littearly fall out. The John F Long Homes on the westside had 100AMP panels in them and sold for low 30's back in the mid 70's.

Haven't seen a Zinsco in about 20 years, or an FPE.

You got hosed. In 40+ years I have only had to replace less than 5 bad breakers.
