    Newbs and non resident dont's

    I don't always break these rules ... but when I do, I try to break as many as possible. e.g. I want to go HAM hunting. Taking my new AR-15 pistol but I need some help sighting it in and don't have time to do it. Also, I need a honey-hole to know where to go. I need some ammo and this guy on here had some but it was way too expensive and he would not travel half way to Tucson Finally, I hope you guys will not be so mean. I just need a little help. -- The most Interesting Non-Consumptive Wildlife User on CWT please delete if not allowed.

    sold

    I so wanted one of these (XP-100ish) until I actually went Javelina hunting with a friend that had a Contender. We couldn't hit a coke can at 20 yrd. Fast forward 20 years and he talked me into buying a Contender on this site in .357/.30Herrett. And again I ended up frustrated and selling it after the javelina hunt. I really like my S&W N frame. NOW I am being tempted with this one -- IT CERTAINLY IS COOL!!! Good thing you are up in the Phoenix area!

    Elk draw "points"

    There is no accounting for bad luck, though. I have had one early bull hunt and an antelope before the bonus points were instituted. I have had one antelope since and no early bull. If it were not for max points, I may have never been drawn for sheep.

    SOLD. Ruger 10/22 takedown

    It is the population center but I catch the Phoenicians complaining about the sales from Tucson.

    Which Hunting Rig?

    My first hunting vehicle was a VW Bug turned Baja. NOT very reliable. Broke the shocks on the first trip. Lousy gas mileage (Weber) and no heater. No AC. No storage capacity although I did carry a deer out under the front hood. Way too high a gear ratio for off road. It was fun cruising Speedway, though.

    Is the outdoorsman the same that comes in the box from Zeiss?

    AR question

    You'd have to strip down the weight just to carry it.

    AR question

    The draw for Javelina for HAM is more difficult than rifle or Bow in the unit I am going.

    AR question

    AR Pistol is accepted by ATF as a pistol, so far; consequently, they are legal for HAM.

    Where Am I?

    Can't remember if it was AZOD or AZSJ many years ago, but we had where's this crapper. That one looks pretty unique. Ah, the good old days.

    WTB Binos

    Make sure to include a decent tripod and adapter. That is quite a bit of money for a first pair! Must not be married with kids!

    Wtb replacement stock

    You've got nothing to lose by trying to fill that crack with a colored epoxy and it may be better than new since the stress has been relieved by the crack.

    Pressure washing skull

    What about pressure washing after maceration?

    Hungry Bassett ☠️

    Our daughter got one. Pretty mild to compare to my Britts but still a puppy -- into everything. Breeder overfed it and knuckling resulted but seems ok now. What a chunk of a dog. Same weight as my younger huge Britt but 1/2 as tall. Puppies in general are a pain but they are all so cute. I could not believe the price, though!

    Matt Rinella - Hunting and Social Media

    "These humble tribesmen were reluctant to tell their closest friends and neighbors they had killed something." I think that was because they didn't want others stealing their food.

    December Tags 2021

    A week ago, the forecast was way better rain. Now around Tucson is very little chance. Disappointing. I think they hope for rain. But my wife always gets upset at me watching the weather forecast and tells me "Those that live by the weather forecast, don't go." And that leads to the other motto: Best time to go fishing/hunting --ANYTIME YOU CAN! It's hard to argue with the results. And that leads to the last idiom: If you pass up good shots, be willing to go home with nothing. CONGRATS!

    RV Awning replacement

    We replaced ours up in Springerville by Oaks. Pretty expensive but the one with the metal cover has been really good so far.

    Seems like you were (bow) stringing us along on this?

    What does someone hunt with steel #7 shot?

    Saw this on Instagram...what’s your take?

    This last yr in late August I bought a license in the Region V office to include the migratory bird stamp which was just the notation on the payment. I wonder if tags will ever be electronic too.

    Saw this on Instagram...what’s your take?

    I still like to go down and visit the nice ladies at the counter and figure out who plays good cop and who is the bad cop to avoid. It also reminds me to buy a lion tag and bird stamp. I don't ever seem to have a printer that works or at least has ink. Theirs, along with the paper, seems to be a little less damaged by inadvertent wetting/washing.
