I feel your pain, people just don't care. A few years ago I had a guy and his wife from Sierra Vista walk past me and my boy obviously set on hunting the tank we were overlooking. They walked up to about 20 feet from us and stopped, waved and turned back. As the sun was setting a couple of hours later we headed out with a mile walk back to camp. Yup there they were all set up about 50 feet away from us. 100 years ago he would have tasted the butt of my rifle but we just acknowledged them and kept on going.

That's how my family in Cutoff does it, just add mushrooms too.

This will give you some places to look at. http://www.azgfd.gov/h_f/hunting_units_24b.shtml

Well guess I'll be doing a paper app for my donation.

I wouldn't loose any sleep over it.

You didn't say what caliber, scope or if you are going to try to set it up for long range or just plain old general hunting. I have standard two piece Leupold bases with the adjustable windage rear base and the dovetail front on a 700 in 7mag. Works well for what I do but I have not had any shot opportunities much past 250 yards. I has a Leupold VX2 4x12 scope in it for 19 years and last year went to a Zeiss 3x15 with a Rapid Z800 Reticle. Talley makes some nice lightweight rings and bases but if you are looking to setup for 800-1500 yards you will probably want a one piece and I think that a 20MOA should work but since I don't know enough about Long Range Setups you might want to tell us what you plans are and what scope you plan on using so someone with more expertise/knowledge can chime in.

Stuff happens and it is tough to miss out on any hunt but that's just the way it goes sometimes. You sound pretty lucky to me so just put in again next year.

Not even worth the effort. Not that I'm looking.

Looks like Globe.

Might try calling a few.

Yeah, they usually don't like to be handled and will bite but I'm not going to tell you to do that in case it isn't a non-venomous snake.

You might want to do a search as there have been a few posts about radios on here.

"If" it is a Kingsnake try to relocate it somewhere as it will keep the rodent and rattlesnake population down.

No prior military experience, medical reasons, but the Recruiter is a tool. IMHO.

IBTL. AGAIN!

That looked like a lot of fun. My son and I should have done that instead of hunting quail on Saturday.

Nice rope tail. Perfect shot, unless you were planning on eating the heart. Congrats are in order to you both.

Nice Rack. Don't boil it, just keep it close to a boil and get those antlers out of the water.

No wonder people think hunters are stupid. Can we possibly drag this out for another four or five pages. Is it too much to ask for some people (you know who you are) to actually read the regs and pay attention to what has been going on for the last few months instead crying like some sort of victim and dragging this out with "but, but, but". Are things really that slow south of Flag? Pretty sure there is at least two or three High Schools up there. Sheesh.

Quail in my experience like to warm up so I don't mess with them until after 8AM but they are pretty active all day, except for me today, LOL. I hunted with my son in 23 South. First spot where we shot a few last year was a bust. We took A Cross road to my other spot and walked a country mile and didn't see squat, until we got back to the truck and there they were. We chased them and threw some lead for another 30 minutes but came up empty. The little boogers were all older birds and well educated not flying until I walked past them and a few flew like dragonfly's with their tails on fire never getting more than a few feet off the ground. Not sure where I'm going tomorrow. We did see a bunch of Devils Claw ready to be picked and the Pears were ripe and huge.

Yeah that looks pretty steep. Congrats, looking forward to the story.

Each landowner is alloted so many tags by the State Biologist who usually works with an outfitter to bring in hunters is the way I understand it. Not exactly a DIY hunt.

I've used W760 in a 30-06 with good results but I have heard that H414 is pretty temperature sensitive.
