    Anybody here that can bolt down safe into concrete?

    Because this is a slab on grade you cannot x-ray it, you will need to GPR to locate PT cables. Your slab is most likely 4" thick, maybe thicker in some areas and your cables are centered in the slab. If you are looking for safety (doesn't fall over on your dog) and not for enough capacity to resist a burglar pushing it over, then you only need to install a drop in anchor that is 1/2" deep, a 3/8" dia. x 1/2" deep should give you plenty of capacity to hold it in place. Put more than one if you want

    My first AZ Coues adventure

    Poser is the man. I love hunting solo, but over the long term, everyone needs a Poser. Is his name really Poser? Great script, buck and timing with the post.

    Hunter Ed field day

    A very frustrating process indeed, unless you are willing to travel. I have been trying to get the kids signed up for the field day for over a year. My daughter drew a cow tag this year and G&F sent out a post card with a class date to sign her up. Once the kids are drawn they do make it a priority to get the kids signed up. There are a couple of weekend camps up north this summer which I don't believe have been announced yet. Call the G&F ask for the HE department and leave a message. Good luck.

    5b late unicorn bull

    I shot a bull there in 1982 with the same right side unicorn. Genetics for sure, or it could have something to do with meteor crater.

    Sniper

    http://www.wnd.com/2016/02/sniper-kills-isis-executioner-during-beheading-class/ No mention of shot distance but I imagine it wasn't close. Never heard of a Dan .338? Someone know anything about this gun?

    Bergers FAILED me horribly

    I was of the understanding that the VLD hunters were supposed to retain their mass and not explode on impact. They are supposed to penetrate and not disintegrate. Hitting bone is a much better shot than a double lung. I shoot the 140VLD from my 6.5-.284 and have dropped 3 bulls with it. One went completly thru the spine @ 420yds, the last went thru both shoulders @ 517yds. Recovered both bullets.

    2015 Coues (Finally broke the 110" mark)

    Nice job, way to close the deal on a trophy buck. I have been on both sides of that dilemma more than once and will never forget them. I am sure the kid will not forget it. Great memories

    Camera Etiquitte

    the cam army is out. Why don't we take a poll and see many cameras are out there, add them all up. Tell us if you think it is fair chase. I do have high power binos, spotter and a rifle that can shoot further than i can, the works. The difference is i am spending time in the field and not letting the army of cams do my 24/7/365 scouting. I also run 2 cams, and yes they are on private property.

    Camera Etiquitte

    It was predictable CnS didn't like my original post. I have several times thought that it was For Sure someone that has stolen or messed with my cameras... How many cameras does CnS run? 10, 20? Who many cameras does the A3 team run? 3x that? How about all the other guys out there looking for the team? 100 total? How many jumbo auction bucks and bulls were found by the cam army in the last 5 years? Again I believe comes down to fair chase which is intertwined with proper etiquette. This is how B&C define fair chase, from their web site... As a means of separating the actions of commercial market hunters from those of legitimate sportsmen, an ethical code of hunter conduct was discussed at the first meeting of the Boone and Crockett Club in 1887. The name given to this code was, fair chase. Fair chase embodies the ideal of paying respect for the traditions of hunting, and not overwhelming game species by human capabilities. It has been embraced by hunters as the proper conduct of a sportsman in the field, and taught to new hunters for over a century. As with any guideline that applies both under the law and within those things that cannot and should not be legislated, interpretations can vary. Past laws set by the expectations of society or those to protect, conserve and manage wildlife resources, ethics in hunting ultimately rests with the individual in what each feels is right and acceptable or wrong and unacceptable, and what technologies or methods are necessary or unnecessary to be successful. Position The Boone and Crockett Club believes that the actions of sportsmen, individually and collectively reflect either positively or negatively on hunting and therefore should be guided by principles whether applying to the activities of hunting in general or for the qualification of trophies into the Club’s big game record book. As such, fair chase has been defined by the Club as “the ethical, sportsmanlike, and lawful pursuit and taking of any free-ranging wild, native North American big game animal in a manner that does not give the hunter an improper advantage over such animals.” The Club further believes a hunter who engages in a one-to-one relationship with the quarry, should be guided by a hierarchy of ethical behavior related to hunting, which includes the following tenets: Obey all applicable laws and regulations. Respect the customs of the locale where the hunting occurs. Exercise a personal code of behavior that reflects favorably on your abilities and sensibilities as a hunter. Attain and maintain the skills necessary to make the kill as certain and quick as possible. Behave in a way that will bring no dishonor to the hunter, the hunted, or the environment. Recognize that these tenets are intended to enhance the hunter's experience of the relationship between predator and prey, which is one of the most fundamental relationships of humans and their environment. How does running a 100 cams (876,000 hours per year) not give you an unfair advantage? There are probably thousands of cameras out in the AZ woods right now(if not unit 22 &23 alone) No wonder we have had numerous "once in a lifetime animals" being taken recently. Even if I spend a lifetime chasing giants, it will never add up to what our precious cams can. While i will agree the proper etiquette doesn't include shooting up cams, but I argue that perhaps proper etiquette may be to not have them at all.

    Camera Etiquitte

    I read this thread and scratch my head. Everyone expects others to be nice and to not touch their Camera...sounds like a bunch of Democrats. I have had it with cameras on every waterhole I come across. We all like to walk a waterhole to get an idea of what is around but not to have our photo and video taken. I visited 6 waterholes this last weekend, 2 in the wilderness of which one was 1.5 mi past the "barrier". Of course, most likely, the camera owner drove past the barrier and into the wilderness to access the camera. My "camera Etiquette" has changed from acceptance to, If i had my 9mm with me I would have put multiple bullet holes in these cameras and most likely will the next time I am in the wilderness! I believe it is a question of fair chase. Get out and pound the dirt to scout instead of a single camera providing 8,760 hours a year doing it for you!

    Unique Photos

    I added another cam to my spring setup and within two days Big Blondie tore them down, lost about a month of potential pictures. I rehung the cams and nailed them down with some 20d spikes. Hopefully that will last until October, if not I will be purchasing some bear boxes

  22. A huge congrats to the hunter for a Beautiful buck. I would guess he is going top 5 typical! Don't make us wait months for the story.,.
  23. Time and date is correct except for the year. I posted pics of him/her from last year. Blackie or Red? Could be the same bear? I have a photo of a cub I believe is hers. Not a bear but... photo looks like it was taken right out of the taxidermy shop. Cheers

    The Hook-Up

    Took the two kids out with them. Let them know ahead of time that they will be guiding children. Our guide had no patience for 9 & 10 year old, Caught 2 - 6" striped bass. When asked if we could try to catch bass the response was NO. Kids did enjoyed a very expensive boat ride.
