What kind of scope you looking for? I have a few laying around.

What are you upgrading to?

I'll take the Hogg-it sight.

Dillon had some varget left when I was in there on saturday.

Got some things that I no longer have use for. Additional pics available upon request. Work in Chandler, live north of valley. Can meet at I17 sportsmans or Scottsdale area. Remington 660 in 6.5 rem mag w/Weaver K2.5 60B scope. Bore is in excellent condition, missing iron sights, a few dings on wood, some blueing wear near muzzle, clean crown though, smoothest 660 action I've ever cycled, minimal warping of bottom plastic, clear period accurate glass. $680 with 5% going back to Amanda. LNIB Galco IWB holster, fits Glock 19/23, Ultimate Second Amendment, worn two mornings. $40 44 mag, 100 ct, once fired, not cleaned,looks like all RP head stamp. $15. 40 S&W, 900 +/- ct, once fired, mixed headstamp, needs cleaned. WTT for 45acp brass. 9mm Luger, 40 rounds of NIB 147gr Hydra-Shok JHP's. Bought new two weeks ago, bought my new 45 the next day. $40. 25-06 RCBS FL die set. $25 223 RCBS FL die set, never loaded a round with it. $30.

Picked up a rifle and a pistol yesterday, no issues. In fact, was the quickest check I think I've ever had.

Here's some things to look at: A.R.S. 17-371( R12-4-305(C ) R12-4-305(I)- Check the other state to see if they have a similar rule/law.

I saw some at the sportsmans in phoenix the other day. If I see a box, want me to pick it up for ya?

For hunter Ed, I had to bring mine with me last year and I used to live there. Not sure if it is because I am a NR now or moved or what, but I was asked when buying my tag. GMUResearch used to have a good, albeit small, forum, but looks like it has been shut down due to lack of interest. Lots of those guys are still on Bowsite though. If memory serves me right, for rifle seasons only bull tags are OTC. Cow and ES tags are draw. There are not a whole lot of elk in the southeast portion of the state, as that is mostly flatlands. Plenty of places to hunt in the south central and south western portions though, but that would be more than a 4 hour drive for your BIL. I recommend checking this out.

Heard my first of the season last night in 7w.

Was up in 7w yesterday, plenty of fresh scat and track, but only minimal on the elk rubs. Did find some good deer rubs though. Found several groups of cows and managed a blown stalk on a mule deer. At last light I spotted what I thought was a group of elk(or large rocks) at the treeline, but almost a mile away. Figured I would let out a cow call to see if something moved or my eyes playing tricks on me. To my surprise, they were indeed elk, and as they scattered into the trees, one of them was kind enough to let out a bugle. Figured that was a great way to end a day of scouting, but wish I would have laid eyes on some bulls.

Seeing as how the whole point of camo is to break up your outline, I would say that a beard is most definitely camouflage.

Charles Daly 20ga Field Hunter. No longer made, but a heck of a gun. Here is one.

BB, if you want some Bergers, let me know which ones you want. As my daily commute is well over 100 miles round trip, I can hit up several places throughout the week and can snag you a box or two. I've seen the 185 vld's within the last week or two.

I love my stainless tumbler. I read somewhere before I leaped into this that hot water gets it cleaner. Not sure if that's true or not, as I've yet to run it with cold water. I can tell you not to put too much lemishine in there, can leave a film on the brass. The biggest problem for me is figuring out a better way to dry. I saw a nice peg board someone made that I think I might try, but too many other projects right now so the oven is the way I go.

There was h4350 at Bruno's yesterday

AZP, Last year a buddy and I did this same thing, we had a good time. Neither of us tagged out, but the experience was awesome. It makes a heck of a difference having that 2nd person to split costs with, as well as camp chores and someone to talk to for 2 weeks. What unit are you heading to? As I drew a tag here this year, he is going back this year by himself. I believe for the last two weeks. PM me your number and I can get it to him. Mr Smith, Last year it worked out to about $1300 total for each of us, but that was for a two week hunt + travel time. We also managed a scouting trip about 5 weeks before the season, which was beneficial, and that was quite an affordable trip save for used replacement tires from two flats. He ended up getting a new set of tires before our trip, and no other issues while we were there. Truck was an F150, loaded to the hilt. We also had a bit set aside to do some fishing and maybe stop at moab or arches on the way back if we tagged out early.

Here ya go TJ! Decimal (WGS84) : 32.533787, -117.018256 Decimal Minutes (GPS) : N32 32.02721 W117 1.09535 Degrees Minutes Seconds : N 32° 32' 1.6326", W 117° 1' 5.721" TJ, that's all you bud. Can't wait to see the write up from that trip!

I'm out and about throughout the week. If there is particular load you are looking for, I can snag it up if I find it and ship it to you.

The deer herd in the Gunnison basin was hit hard my last winter there(07-08). I've heard anywhere from 40% to 70%+ winter kill, which is a dang shame. Who knows how long it will take to recover. I doubt it ever will, fully at least. You won't find leftover buck tags, but maybe some doe tags. As for the elk hunting in 55, I would suggest spending some time on the CPW website. There is a ton of information to look at there. You may want to check into the areas around Mirror lake, Spring creek reservoir, Fossil Ridge, the treeline above upper taylor river and italian creek, and of course the wilderness areas. If no snow is pushing them down, and you are not finding elk, break out the topo maps and find the steepest, nastiest, thickest dark timber you can find on north/northeast facing slopes. The elk will be there, they always are. If you get an elk down in a rough area, make sure to check out the Gunnison times, as there is always an ad or two during season for college kids willing to trade some leg work for meat. I can't think of a better way to spend a week or two in the fall with your son. If you go, make sure to grab a small game license as the area is full of blue grouse and ptarmigan, not to mention those annoying squirrels. And while you're at it, don't forget the fishing poles either. The Gunnison basin has some of the best fishing in the country, which is why I moved there. And depending on when you go, you could also get some potato sacks full of spawning salmon from Roaring Judy fish hatchery. I'm not sure which season you are hunting, but if you can manage some time on either or both ends of your hunt, I would suggest you do so. If your son has on ounce of love for the outdoors in him, he will love every minute of it. Feel free to PM me with any other questions you got.

Heat, I like Kifaru(don't own yet), but cannot say much for the other brands you inquired about. I have and still use an old 10x12 wall tent made in the 70's, believe it is either a Montana or Davis. I too was worried about the possibility of flying embers, but an inline spark arrestor took care of that. For me, it is a car camping only tent, though if I had horses that would change. I can squeeze in 4 small cots without the stove, two XL cots with. And it gets down right HOT inside if you are not paying attention. I actually put my cot right in front of the door as it gets me the furthest away from the stove(in back corner) and I can let a bit of cold air in if I get too warm. I would suggest getting a larger size, either 12x or 14x. Mine has a window in the back which helps greatly with airflow, but I would suggest getting one with a screen at the door if possible. You will appreciate it in the warm weather here. As for flooring, I use a tarp with a cutout for the stove. When I was in Colorado, I used a piece of carpet for the floor, it helped with the mud and snow. Don't forget a doormat. I've used my tent on solo hunts(perfect size for solo hunts, btw) in january for Javi and deer, and while it is not the easiest thing in the world to set up by yourself, it's not all that difficult either. Try it a few times in your backyard and you'll quickly figure out how to set it up on your own. I doubt anyone could go wrong in buying a quality, US built, marine grade canvas wall tent. The only regret you may have in purchasing one is not getting one big enough. Also, sounds like you may need a 2nd tent to meet the portability that you are seeking.

I'm in for a jan/feb time frame

I believe they are in CO now too, but cannot recall at the moment.

When I first started hunting in Colorado, it seemed like I ran into game wardens about every other month. For some reason, it usually seemed to be right after I was done reading a portion of the hunting regs. For no particular reason, other then being a smart ***, I almost always asked the official something regarding anything obscure that I'd read. Only thrice did any of them accurately respond to my inquiries. And one of those was a rule change after the regs were printed, and she had a notice with her to inform others, which she read it from. Don't always believe what they say they know, but don't be dumb about it either. I've always respectfully informed them of what I 'thought' was the right/legal thing, saying I 'think' it is in the regs, and have asked them to show me where it states what they have said. Not everything is always there, and more then once, so we both would know, they actually called into the office to have someone there lookup in the revised statutes. Both of us were wrong on a few of those. As for the OP's question, I have been unable to find anything in the regs or statute that specifically prohibit the use of radios. However, do keep in mind that if directions towards an animal are given over the radio, and you then move towards that animal(or it's direction) in a vehicle, you would be in violation of A.R.S. 17-301( per the definition of 'Take' in A.R.S. 17-101(A)18, as well as possibly R12-4-320(A), depending on the verbiage used in the radio transmission, your actions and the interpretation of the officer who witnesses the act. So as long as you never enter a vehicle once you used the radio for locating game, and use the radio in accordance with FCC regulations, I cannot see any legal authority citing you for the use of the radios in your hunt.

She is fitting in just fine Roger. Even pointed a bunch of quail today in the yard when introducing her to the neighbors. Her and Dakota had a fun afternoon. Thanks bud.
