Yep, You need to have all that stuff out of there a few weeks before if you are going to hunt bear in the area. I cant remember the regs but thought it was 2-3 weeks range. I have never had a bear on camera so I don't really have this problem, wish I did I would love to get some bear pics! I never even realized you could use an attractant in the past.

Dang!!! Thats a big 'un...

I have some I will share it is right here... Ohh wait my wallet is empty now dang ninjas... could be living with 3 daughters or the wife also.

I have TiGoat poles all carbon fiber extremely light, also a pair of Black Diamond poles that are very light. My dad who is getting up there in years used my poles last year and said they were in the way at first but then I climbed some stuff I did not think I could due to having the poles.

I believe it, that kind of stuff happens at my house on a weekly basis... 4 females ... enough said!

I think there are a lot of options peanut butter, vanilla, molasses, and anise all have a really strong scent. I never thought about the liquid smoke, but have thought of bacon but did not want to be baiting. I would think a rotten egg or one on a sterno would travel a long way also but never tried it same thing with fish oil out of a tuna or sardine can. The other thing I think of after every Thanksgiving is the peanut oil we use to deep fry a bird. Gotta think the varmints would be all over that stuff brushed on a tree or rock.

I am in the same boat! No elk, no antelope, no late deer hunts ever. Now I will tell you I did draw a Sheep tag so I may have used all my luck all at once and never get drawn for anything meanignful again.

I am thinking of doing this but have to determine which gun. I am leaning towards rebarreling my 6x284 for my daughter, it is a bit too heavy in its current Douglas heavy varmint barrel configuration. Speedy. do you do all of this type of work as well?

I would love to have a Rifle with a suppressor but last time I looked at them (surefire) they were very expensive. .308 is like $2K! I am sure there are other options I did not do a lot of research just looked at the Surfire after reading an article.

Congratulations!!!! My sheep hunt is my most memorable of all and probably wont ever be topped. Shot my ram on the last day after spending 19 days out on the Yuma proving grounds. GOOD LUCK!

Do a search on "az game and fish fall leftovers" and go directly to the PDF and then it will work.

Me too! It must be busy...

My wife won't let my girlfriend ride the quads! Take the key! Also leave a spent case on the seat or visible on one of your bags. If someone takes it then they are stupid & crazy!

Just to clarify I did not say I didn't like them I have four of them 110, 120, and two 530's. One of my hunting buddies has 2 of the new 655's and the touch screen is very good. I was just giving the good and bad. One thing I also left out is that they are pretty tough, I ran over one in loose dirt thought it was lost and found it (middle of no where) a month later and it actually fired up. I get far more life out of the rechargeable battery, I get about 2 days out of it and just over a day out of the alkaline battery pack. We usually run them in the 5W mode also. As for good deals, Garmin is a customer of the company I work for and even on their vendor discount price Amazon usually can match and sometimes beat the prices. I was told by one of the employees to check Amazon before ordering off the vendor sheet.

All I shoot in mine is 168gr Berger HVLD's launched by 69gr of H1000, just under 3000 fps. I do think 4831sc is a great powder it meters so consistently due to the short kernels. However, I discovered over the last couple years that H1000 seems to be very consistent for ES and SD across all my guns which makes things a whole lot easier. I am shooting out to 1K with some pretty good results from the 7mm RM and the Dakota. I am using H1000 in my 300RUM, 7mm RM, and 7mm Dakota (180 gr VLD).

We use the Rino's and they are very nice for keeping track of people but if you are in a canyon over a mile away they behave just like any other radio or GPS and lose the signal. We have been using them for about the last 10 years since they first came out, a lot peace of mind knowing you can see others on your screen. They are a compromise not the best radio you could carry and not the best GPS, the screen is not as good as a stand alone GPS size and resolution. However, the Rino is the only option for being able to see your hunting partners on your screen.

I will take a guess that the powder die/funnel is not adjusted correctly it sounds like it is too low. The only moving parts are really the funnel to push the powder bar back and the spring (metal rod) to return the mechanism to close. There are some good videos on youtube, search dillon 550 powder measure and you can see someone else set theirs up, may help you describe to the folks at Dillon what the trouble is before you call as well. Good luck!

Great pictures! You are talking me into putting in for this as first choice going forward as it would be really convenient since I have a place in Pinetop. If I ever get drawn I will give you a call.

Is it a mechanical problem, call Dillon as suggested if it is and they will spend all day helping you if required. If it is a feeding problem with standard large caliber rifle powders I always had the same issue? I used to have to constantly tap the cylinder to keep the powder flowing. Anything larger than 4831SC would hang from time to time. With pistol loads you can really fly since the powder is not an issue.

That is wild! Is it a coi or a goldfish carp cross or something? Never seen a goldfish that big!

The Vortex looks like a great value with all the bells and whistles! I will have to check one out as well.

Almost every scope I have is a mil type reticle. If just starting it seems MOA may be a bit easier and more people seem to teach and talk in MOA now. NXS is 3.5-15, MK IV is 6-20, PST is 6-24. They all work nd are very solid, the Leupold is the lightest, the NXS the clearest at full power. Almost all scopes lose a little clarity at the edges when canked all the way up, the NXS is better but partly because it is lower power. If I didn't emotion it don't cheap out on rings and your base, plan on this for your budget.

I was up behind Roosevelt and everything was open and soaking wet with water in every canyon I walked. Should stay that way for the next couple of weeks with all the rain. I did see 3 CWT's all doe's though.

I agree with the idea that if the card does not go through you are out. No different than if your check does not clear. Once everyone know this they will use a card with a valid date and make sure the card is paid up. I really don't like the idea of a paid G&F person trying to contact hundreds of hunters who have a credit card bounce.

Kidso, I had a tiny one follow me around one year when we were archery hunting. We spooked the heard and the little one ran the wrong way so just hung out next to me for the next 5 minutes. I was not about to pick it up but I was more worried the mom would be looking for it.
