For those of you that have hunted the OTC archery deer hunts in December, I have a couple questions. I'm mainly interested with the desert muleys in south/ central AZ around 2500-3500 ft level. I normally hunt this area in mid January when the rut gets going, but am unfamiliar with hunting them in December. I have some extra time this year (and an unfilled tag), so I'm toying with the idea of making a December trip. So my questions are, what kind of success have you had in December? Any advice for that time of year? (as I'm almost certain that the rut won't be occurring at this time) Thanks in advance.

Sold. Thanks

I had Horsefly Metal Works in Gilbert make some custom metal brackets for me with their cnc plasma cutter. They specialize in metal signs and other décor type items, but they were more than willing to help out with my project. I felt they were reasonably priced too.

Personally I like the Jim White head for my 15's and the occasional use of a 65mm spotter. Keep in mind that the Jim White is a pan head and not a fluid head, and in my personal opinion is a little too light for the big spotters. You may be happier with a fluid head if you're going to be using big spotters or a large BTX.

Sounds like a good deal. If you end up not liking it, I'd be happy to buy it from you.

I have a 525 carbon that I am very happy with. I can't compare it to the 325, but I feel that it's more stable than my old 3 section Slik (330 amt I think). I use a Jim White head and it's great with the 15's, and works ok for occasional use of a 65mm spotter. If I were going to use a bigger spotter I would want a more robust tripod head, but the tripod itself feels quite stable. One advantage the 525 has is that it collapses to a shorter height which fits in my pack nicely.

Does anyone have any experience with Grayboe stocks? I'm curious how the fit and finish is, and how they've held up under normal hunting conditions? I'm looking at the Outlander model for a Rem 700. Thanks in advance.

Your SX3 should work fine. Just try some different choke tubes and turkey load combinations until you can get the pattern you want. Every gun is going to be different, but an Indian Creek choke with Winchester long beard shells has been excellent on my 870. I would also suggest adding some sights to your shotgun if it doesn't have them already. I personally like the Hi-viz sights since they show up well in low light, and they are adjustable (as opposed to just a bead front sight).

Filled my tag earlier this week. The cold winds pushed them into the flats which made for a fun chase.

Selling a set of tire chains. They have only been out of the box to try them on the truck in the driveway, so basically they're new. The plastic box is a little beat up from riding in the back of the truck. Does have rubber tension bands included. $30 obo and located in Maricopa, but occasionally make it up to the valley.

Sold please delete.

I'm not sure about the exterior surface near the grip, but I have sanded a couple B&C stocks in the barrel channel and if you go deep enough it will go to a very coarse layer of fiberglass. One of the stocks that I sanded was a brown w/ black web and the brown color was only on the surface and black underneath, (but again this was only in the barrel channel.)

Does anyone have any experience with using speed nocks vs. not using them on their bowstring? I recently had my bow strings replaced and the tech at the shop talked me out of putting them on the replacement strings, saying that the speed gains aren't enough to worry about putting them on. Are they just for adding some speed, or will they change how the bow shoots? I haven't been able to tell a difference yet in how it shoots, just looking for some second opinions on the subject. The bow in question is a PSE Source HD. Below is a picture of the weights in question:

I don't see that size on the list, but I had them for lt245/75 16's so it was the same tire width, just a larger circumference than the 15in tire.
