Savage stock and Rem 700 BDL stock sold. Rem 700LA synthetic stock still available. May actually be in north Phoenix Fri (1/26), mountain biking at the Apache Wash trailhead off Dove Valley Road/Sonoran Desert Dr. Can bring it if someone wants it.

My pleasure. If you want help narrowing down some spots to look, let me know.

6B is my backyard and, therefore, my favorite unit. Having encounters with cows shouldn't be a problem. I'm not going to share my favorite bull spots, but I'll point you in some directions to get into cows and bugling.

Correct. Applicants have to be 10 years old to buy the bonus point. We get this question all the time in Hunter Ed classes. ^This.. As long as the child is 10 by or on opening day of the hunt, they can hunt it. If they turn 10 on day 2 (or 3), they cannot hunt. Its in the regs and I've had a long, drawn-out discussion with my AGFD friends about this. It isn't changing, unfortunately.

First three calls are done (Crazymonkey, Oz31P, firstcoueswas80) and will be ready to ship this week. Need to get solid boxes to ship them in. PM me your addresses and we'll get them shipped by the end of the week.

Sounds good and Jacob says thanks! Yes, he'll get them done prior to the April 2024 turkey hunts!

This. This. And this. When I get around to re-barreling my 30-06, I'm planning on jumping from a 22" barrel to a 24" or 26" barrel.

We are hosting an in-person classroom Hunter Ed class in Flagstaff Feb 8-11. I set it up three weeks ago and only one kid has registered so far. Class will be 6-8pm Feb 9 and 10, 8am-5pm Feb 11, and the field day will be 9am-1pm Feb 12. Classroom portions will be at the Flagstaff AGFD office and the field day will be at the NAZ Shooting Range. 100% attendance for all portions is mandatory. NAZ NWTF and the local AMDO group will be providing pizza lunch on Saturday, Feb 11. All firearms and ammunition will be provided. Preference is for kids who need the class to hunt; however, we encourage parents to take the class with their younger kids. As of this morning, there are 17 seats left. Thursday, February 8, 2024 6:00pm - 8:00pm Friday, February 9, 2024 6:00pm - 8:00pm Saturday, February 10, 2024 8:00am - 5:00pm Sunday, February 11, 2024 9:00am - 1:00pm Full transparency: we set the class schedule up based on local instructor availability and local (Flagstaff, Williams, Parks, Bellmont, etc.) kids' availability. We've found that drawing a class out 2 hours at a time over 3 weeks gets old and information retention is not great, leading to lower success/passing rates. Saturday can be a long day, but we break it up by rotating stations with the AGFD room split with a divider and rotate between each side, pulse the lobby so kids aren't sitting in the same seat all day. Throw in plenty of breaks, an hour lunch with a test review, and plenty of jokes, and the day flies by. The kids get plenty of time and opportunities to blow off steam and pent-up silliness and wiggles. On top of that, we rarely, if ever, go until 5 pm. We will not be accepting online students into the field day for this class. We do not have enough instructors to maintain the required instructor:student ratio and keep everyone safe. Our Flagstaff instructor group will be hosting several online field days this spring-fall for those students who took the online course and need a field day. https://www.register-ed.com/events/view/206214

Merry Christmas! Its been a long time, but I've always appreciated your help on here and around town!

Absolutely. Let's wait until the call is ready, though. I'm trying to teach him good business practices, but to be fair. He needs to get the work done and ready to go.

I'll 2nd that. Tevis is a good friend of mine and asked me at lunch a while back if I knew anything about Todd Rice/Sonoran Outfitters because he was taking a case and likely seeking legal action. I have 100000% confidence working with Tevis. He hunts & is part of our Hunter Ed Instructor Team up here. Solid guy!

Jacob and I had a chance to sit down and talk this weekend after doing some market research. He's starting out at $40 for a turkey call. Flies range start at $1/each and go up depending on complexity of the fly and discounts apply for more flies/order. He just tied my favorite dry fly for the San Juan River, a #10 Griffith's gnat, known locally on the San Juan as a "Dead Chicken". He needs to update a couple of posts because they are before our pricing discussions. $0.50 is WAY too low for a Royal Wulff and his RWs are one of my top go-to dry flies in AZ. I'll get a pic of the Dead Chicken for here, but check out his Instagram Page: wooldridge_calls https://www.instagram.com/wooldridge_calls/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==

My son's and my daughter's 7-08s both shoot 5 different powder charges with Barnes 140gr TTSX. One prefers IMR 4064 and the other prefers IMR4895

Awesome! I'll let him know after his basketball game tonight. You can message me with any particular wood, calling surface, and design you want. My personal favorite is Bocote wood with slate over glass. I also have curly maple with frosted glass, walnut with slate, and copper over glass, but I don't remember the wood.

Weekend bump for Christmas shopping.

My son and I found an optical device in Unit 33 this past weekend. If you can tell me what type, brand, and roughly where you were, I'll gladly mail it back you to you.

Wrong brand. Good luck, though!

Wrong brand and wrong area. Good luck, though!

This one is for smart people.... I try hard to do the right thing, hoping if I ever end up in this situation, someone will do the same.

Bump for a holiday rifle sale!

Bump back up. Still trying to find original owner
