  3. Seems to get worse every year with some people setting up 50 feet away and not so much as a hello or a look your way then proceed to take every shot they can dropping some birds in spots they know they can't be retrieved and then want to stay for hours.

    Leaf footed bugs. That subtype you have photos of are also known as Giant Mesquite Bug, Thasus neocalifornicus Cool looking, http://arizonabeetlesbugsbirdsandmore.blogspot.com/2010/06/life-cycle-of-giant-mesquite-bug-thasus.html
  6. It's an older Winchester Model 12, probably 1920's. The action feels like it is sluggish, maybe gummed up. I'd like to have it to have as a backup for new shooters this dove season. I had an old manual that showed how to take it apart and actually did my father-in-laws dads gun about 20 years ago and I seem to remember a wishbone spring in there somewhere.

    Ruger #1 RSI

    I don't but a friend has a #1 in 25.06 and even with a lot of throat erosion if shot well. Tell us more about it, how long have you had it and what loads have you tried. Not to be a jerk but have you let someone else shoot it?

    New Hunter

    I'll even bring along a shotgun you can use, shells will be on me. You just need to buy a Migratory Bird Stamp to affix to the back of your hunting license. Walmart has them they are $5.

    Let's talk tires

    That is usually an indication of worn out shocks but you may just need a shock more suited to your vehicle.

    Help with first archery deer

    If you want to hunt from a tree in the mid to lower elevations then look for canyon bottoms that have occassional water and look for sycamore, cottonwood etc.

    Slow Down ATV'ers

    Yeah, you need to turn off on the road that crosses the wash, only way in to Rogers. First time I have been there in about 15 years.

    Slow Down ATV'ers

    I took a drive into the Superstitions today from Queen Valley up toward Rogers Trough just to kill some time. A few miles in I rounded a bent and came across three guys using a 2WD ATV with a tow strap tied to a bright yellow SXS that was up ended on the passenger side. I asked if they were ok and they were and they thanked me for stopping and asked if I would help. I asked them if they wanted me to help push it over and they said they had been trying that but the other ATV didn't have enough power to pull it back over so I had them disconnect the tow strap from it and I moved my truck into position and used it to right the SXS onto it's wheels. They said it was new, just seven miles. The area was pretty flat and had a few abandon campfire rings so I guess they were doing broadies and lost it. Sure glad I didn't come across bodies instead. I went on bout my way further in and about 90 minuted later on my way back down they came past me on their way up. Funday Sunday. I guess it's officially broken in now.

    Why?

    They were looking for piles of corn?

    Slow Down ATV'ers

    There was a group of maybe 10 or 12 SXS's out there to tearing it up. I stopped a few times to let them pass.

    Getting It- Life

    That's a really long run. I know as my wife grandmother made it to 101, she came to Arizona from Texas as a little girl in a covered wagon and the family lived in tents for sometime, picking cotton. You have my condolences Sir.

    Oh the lows

    Yeah, I would never shoot one of those dinks. LOL I guess if you got out from behind that computer you might hsve the option All about personal choices dont you thjnk. The beauty of hunting. You get to decide for yourself what you want to try and kill sounds like he was being facetious about the bucks "lol" and ain't you in a stand on the internet?? Either way good luck. Looks like you got a real nice spot with lots of opportunities. At least someone got my attempt at humor.

    Evening greeter!!!

    Could be a prairie with those markings which is why I commented about the tail but they are up north. Either way I wouldn't want to get hit by one.

    Why would you want to do that. It has very little recoil as it is.

    Sherman I'll give you $110 for them but I live in Mesa. I wouldn't mind driving to Pichaco or so to meet you. I am going to shoot them with my son for quail this season.
