Ibex in their native habitat.

Bench rest shooters, long range shooters , etc. all push the envelope. The average shooter benefits from their attempts to improve the status quo. Manufacturers adopt proven technology that evolves from their exploits. I say kudos to those who spend/build the next generation of rifle. We all benefit. Although I don't dabble in the custom arena, I appreciate those who do.

Our family (my dad purchased it in the 50's) has a Savage 340 in .222 Rem. that shoots 1/4" - 1/2" groups all day long with just about any ammo. I was excited to post this info when I saw the thread. Low and behold, the 3rd post is same/same. LOL

Yes it is but the issue will come again. Likely at the Federal level.

The modern equipment you mention in your post (except trail cams) all have one thing in common: The user must be present to operate said equipment. Most of us can only use 1 rifle, bow, etc., at any given moment. Same with optics, rangefinders, etc. Maintaining 7/24/365 surveilance in 5, 10, 20+ locations is a tremedous advantage when "proofing" an area for whatever it is a TC user is looking for. That being said, automated surveilance of public places is not a AZGF issue.

I had hoped Swaro would offer their latest SLC HD upgrade in 12X56. I've got 10X50 SLC NEU's, they are brilliant. Don't really see a need for 8's or 10's in 56 mm for terrestrial viewing. That being said, the 10X50 NEU's likely weigh more than SLC HD 56's. Swaro hit a homer with the latest SLC version.

I agree and disagree with that. heck, leaving your house for the day is a risk just like everything else in life but if someone steals a $200 item while Your gone Are you just supposed to let it go? Now say all your neighbors had the same issue, Im gonna guess youd be on the hunt too. If a low life camera thief (that is what they are), follows you around swiping your cams that you have placed on public land, unfortunately, you have no lawful recourse. Law enforcement won't do anything. End of story.

Trail cams are a risk/reward thing. Accept it and move on.

Next time somebody asks me why I need a semi-automatic weapon and a 30 round magazine, I'll answer "coyotes". Works for two or four legged models.

^^^ This Often, a camera survey is inconclusive. If the buyer wants a camera survey, let him/her pay for it. It's a sellers market right now.

Signs, vehicles, blinds, stands, trail cams, etc are all used by claimers to attempt exclusive use of an area. Unless I see something with a heartbeat and a weapon, I go where I please. When I sit water, I expect company, part of the game.

Fished Pratt Lake in the early 70's. I'd always heard you had to hide behind a tree to put on a bait. We caught nothing. Roads were bad back then (especially when wet). We would drive through the H-V ranch headquarters and four wheel up the ranch road to the lake. Shaved a lot of time off the trip. Tried the lake 3 or 4 times with no fish. Figured it had winter killed.

Get a gas set up for sure. Flux core for outdoor use (wind). A fab table with a vise (or two), clamps, etc. make welding a whole lot easier. Welding is basically puddle watching. Make sure your dad has cheater lenses and any other aid to assure he is seeing the action. Leather too, getting burnt up by radiation is no fun.

Despite all the comments to the commissioners by advocates for trail cam use, I believe the real reason that a ban was not approved is that it truly is unenforceable. Live cams included. IMO, until BLM, Forest Service etc. decide to ban sureveilance devices on public lands, cameras will remain legal.

Looks class IV to me. Heat and Lucafu pretty much nailed it IMO. Boom!

Apparently a prosecutor and a judge believe there is enough evidence to issue warrants for siezure and presumably arrest. Your brother has a lot at stake. You may want to stay quiet on this issue or at least consult your brothers attorney before providing info to world wide web.

Dream buck .......... now a nightmare. Don't know the story but that deer (and us) deserve better. Don't like being lied to.

What spine carbons do you suggest? I'm having a heck of time finding aluminum anymore. https://www.cabelas.com/product/EASTON-LEGACY-FEATHER-ARROWS-PACK/2225395.uts?productVariantId=4570776&WT.tsrc=PPC&WT.mc_id=GoogleProductAds&WT.z_mc_id1=04428511&rid=20&ds_rl=1252079&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoMTy4eCt2wIVWJ7ACh0i1gubEAQYAiABEgK2pPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Please dont shoot carbons out of a recurve at game. Buy these. You wont get velocity with a recurve so you need to rely on weight. Carbons are awesome out of a traditional bow. Durability is off the charts. It's easy to get a carbon arrow over 500 grains with steel broadhead adapters, weight tubes and a chunky traditional head. FOC is excellent too. My favorite arrow is a Victory 500 tipped with a Zwickey eskimo on a steel BH adapter (about 200 grains). Use it to hunt jackrabbits in the malapai. Holds up very well.

Trail cams allow anybody to have 7/24/365 surveilance of public lands in as many locations as a participant is willing to maintain. I do enjoy looking at all the photos users post. At the end of the day, it is a fair chase issue. I support a ban.

You'll enjoy it. Have fun!

Does that count? Heck yeah. Congats to the lady Cats.
