    what qualifies?

    Take up shooting High Power Silhouette or High Power itself and shoot in some matches to develope and hone the skill necessary to be proficient. Shooting in a match you will also learn to deal shooting under stress. http://www.nrahq.org/compete/highpower.asp

    Does it get smoked after it goes into the casing?

    Hunting Technology. How much is enough?

    And what did we do before Bow Sights? We knew the trajectory of the arrow and canted the Bow accordingly.

    coal for tent stove

    I don't know anything about stoves so I'll ask. When you leave in the morning to hunt how does the coal get put out when nobody is there to keep an eye on it? I use a propane fired Heater Buddy and with a 5' hose I can attach it to a 5gal cylinder which I keep outside the tent I also keep the tent ventilated and the heater has a low oxygen sensor built in.
  8. I have a pair of Pronghorns I got a couple of years ago and they broke right in and have not had any problems with them other than they could be a little wider.

    Sierra Vista Area

    I have never hunted that area, which hunt do you have? You can also call G&F (Tucson Office?) and ask to have the Wildlife Manager for that area to call you. That can sometimes take a week as they are usually in the field but it is worthwhile and sometimes you can arrange to meet them if you are out scouting for a weekend.

    First Desert Shed...

    I have seen lots of trash like that west of Red Rock and in the river bottom south of the town Picacho.

    Thoughts on Thermal Imaging

    I'd say as long as you are targeting a specific deer you have patterend on a game camera over a pile of corn and you're sitiing in a blind 800 yards away you're good to go. This is def the way to go for the hunter of the future. You can sleep in and wack a deer before lunch and if you have a wood cutting permit and the ambition to haul arse cross country you can be home by 3, posting pics. Perfect World.
  14. Here is some interesting reading. http://www.rathcoombe.net/sci-tech/ballistics/methods.html
  15. Soon after the Nosler Ballistic Tip made it's debut a national gun magazine ran some comparison tests using 7mm Remington Magnum. The BT's had the least penetration, about 17", compared to the partition and another Nosler bullet. Three bullets, all by Nosler and the same weight were shot into ballistics gelletin (sp). At the time it had the same construction of a hollow point, just with a plastic tip stuffed into the nose. While on a hunt my partner shot a forked point at 400yds with a 150gr BT in a 300 Weatherby. The first shot crippled the buck making it unable to walk. We proceeded to head down into the bottom of the canyon to dispatch it but he decided to take another shot and hit it in the ham. 15 minutes later when we made it down there it had died but the last shot had blown up on impact and there was pulverized green plastic all through the ham.

    Cool story and congrats. How far did it travel from where it was hit, if you don't mind me asking?

    Free Havalon knives from Eastmans...

    The Piranta comes with the Journal which sure looks like a single one time magazine not a monthly subscription.

    Coconino County Hunters

    I interpreted it be that you would get a permit and harvest a deer under the premise you were there cutting wood.

    Check your tie downs

    Those things should be illegal. I used to have a box filled with parts of them I would pick up off the side of the road and trails. I saw a guy loose a Ditch Witch on Scottsdale road and subsuquently get a ticket too. Chain your stuff down.

    Coconino County Hunters

    If you're cutting wood then you shouldn't be harvesting a deer.
  24. The place I hunt doesn't belong to me and I am grateful it is there. I don't have to pay admission and the virtual gate is always open. I therefore kinda take some ownership and feel like a steward of the land and an ambassador of the hunting community and don't like to see the place get disrespected. I have no doubt that the goal for some is to shoot a limit, it sure is my objective but I try to see the bigger picture. I also know that few of us read the Regs so the whole cleaning birds and leaving the spoils wherever scenario never comes into play. I feel like making up a few signs to post and building a dove cleaning station or two and volunteer time to show people how to clean them.
