    Spot Hogg 7 Deadly Pins (SOLD)

    ....this one won't last long. absolutely fool-proof sight. love mine. had an arrow blow up in my X force earlier this year, the back half of the arrow went through the site window. the only damage done, to the sight at least, was the white sticker around the window came off. bow blew up and had to have it totally rebuilt

    Product Review - Made in China Bino Adapter

    I'm sure the vortex adapter is made overseas as well. all of their products are. looks like a fool proof, simple product that saves money and works

    19A Coues?

    I've hunted 19a quite a bit and have seen a good number of whitetail. sounds like someone is so adament that there aren't enough whitetail to hunt in this unit, in hopes that it will preserve a honey hole of his own? whitetail have been taken in the Mingus area for MANY years. someone killed a monster (i believe 130" type) there in like the 60's. the coues there are not "new" by any means. the area just won't ever support a huge population of them. there are fair numbers in certain pockets of the unit

    Outdoor Edge Razor Lite

    Does anyone have any experience with these? I am an avid Halon fan, like a lot of us are. I picked up one of these today for about the same price as the havalon, and at first glance, i am impressed. much sturdier than a havalon, and the blade change system is a lot better. i have no problem changing the blades on my Havalon, but this style seems much safer. has anyone used one in the field? if so, what do you think of it?

    Cited by AZGF

    look on page 85 of the deer regs. if it was a true sparrow, they are legal to shoot, but not in the M units, which i imagine he was in. sounds like a sorry citation. i have a friend that got his license pulled for 3 years for shooting a dove out of season. hope your buddy's case doesn't go the same way. make sure that he lets them know how remorseful he is, while in court. that's usualy what they want is for the person to know what they did was wrong, and that they are sorry for what they did. my friend did not show remorse or apologize for his actions is why he got his pulled.

    San Carlos Pics

    love the post. pic heavy, short winded, big animals. san carlos sure does grow some neat bulls. they all seem to have a certain "look" to them
  11. i enjoyed this trip back in to town. Probably should have taken another hunter ED course before i even thought of doing it though
  12. East side of the freeway? That is the Adobe Mtn. site. I have worked on that one a few times. yeah, that's it. it's righ by our shop
  13. if i had to guess, i would assume its on one of the peaks here in town. looks like possibly the mountain top on the 17 and pinnacle peak ish
  14. packing out animals in pieces is a realtively new process. back in the day, huners almost always drug their deer out of the field whole. yes you do have your right to express an opinion because you do put money back into the system, however, maybe get a few more harvests and experience about hunting in general before telling people that have MUCH more experience than you how they should handle their business. you are a product of very modern hunting processes, and there is nothing wrong with that, but many of us that are multi generation die hard hunters that might conduct their business different than you, and who are you to tell us that we are doing things wrong and need to go back through hunter ed? hunter ed didn't teach me much other than how to get an orange card that lets me hunt in other states every year. i learned everything i know by being taken hunting from the time i could walk by people that have been been hunting since they could walk and so on and so forth. my family also ran a butcher shop for years. since i have been on this earth i have eaten 10 times more game meat than processed food. to say that my kills are taken care of properly and treated with respect is a tremendous understatement. anti hunters are going to be upset with hunters no matter what we do. i am not going to hide or be ashamed that i am a hunter, just so i don't upset an anti. hunting is here to stay, no matter how many hippies we piss off
  15. so what is a person supposed to do if they dont have the luxury of having their kill hidden deep inside their truck? i have many times hauled out animals that are exposed in my vehicle, being on top of gear. what about a bull elk loaded into the back of a toyota? done that many times. should i take i hunter ed class because non-hunters saw my harvest? that was a ridiculoous comment. as long as the animal is being processed and taken care of, who cares if it is strapped to the top of a jeep? i hunt in a tacoma with a camper shell, and have been LUCKY enough to take a couple elk who's heads will not fit in the back. guess where they get strapped for the ride out? right on top of the camper shell. should i take hunter ed again so as to ensure i don't commit this horrible crime once again? we are all hunters. hunters kill things. non-hunters don't like seeing it. big deal. maybe if i take hunter ed 10 more times it will finally break my nasty habit
  16. i work in the cell tower industry, and deal with similar shelters every day. these things are built basically bomb proof. i have seen people turn them into pretty neat guest rooms. bump for a neat item

    greer trip

    you can usually catch quite a few right there through greer. they are usually really small though. just drift small pieces of worm or salmon eggs with a very small single hook and no weight, under overhanging limbs, and where the water swirls

    What Have You Killed With A 10mm?

    Razor Dobbs is an idiot and gives hunter a bad name by acting like such a jack@$$ all the time. just because Razor Dobbs shot a farm elkover a waterhole with a 10mm doesn't mean it is an ethical or wise choice to hunt with. Sure, it will kill game, but anyhting that that idiot does is good reason to do the exact opposite

    Complete Blessing: Spot and Stalk Archery Antelope

    nice buck, especially with a bow. Not sure about the part of being "bummed" because you draw your 2nd antelope tag and are 20ish years old? i have 18bp, my brother 19, dad 23 BP for antelope. i don't think any of us would be "bummed" with an antelope tag

    Horn Quality This Year ??

    A winter with heavy snowfall also has a lot to do with antler growth. growing up in the white mountains, i have always paid close attention to moisture levels and horn growth. i think a wet winter has at least as much to do with good antler growth as a wet summer. also a factor that not many people take into consideration is that on a dry year, the enamel layer of antlers is not nearly as thick and strong as it is on a wet year. this leads to bulls that are busted up really bad. i personally think that is why the bulls in 9 and 10 are usually busted up so bad, as compared to units like 1 and 27. Where moisture really helps animals is plant moisture. just because there are many water holes in an area has nothing to do with antler growth. if there is no moisture in the feed, they don't get the nutrients they need to grow big, STRONG antlers

    Hoochie Mama elk calls

    i saw a thread on some hoochie mama game calls that turned into a bashing. Rather than knocking the guy trying to sell an item, i would like to see where everyone stands on these. Personally, i feel that they are the worst thing that has ever happened to true elk callers. when they first came out probably 10-15 years ago, they worked pretty darn good. it takes the skill and "art" if you will, out of elk calling. Now, i think in a lot of places a hoochie mama is about as effective as a gun shot. on archery elk hunts, every time you hear an elk bugle, you hear 10 hoochie mama calls squealing through the woods. These calls have made elk shy to answer any kind of elk calls. before their invention, you could cow call and bugle bulls in all day long, and now the preferred method for all of the very seasoned elk hunters that i know, is bugle to locate a bull, then don't call again. Nothing will ever beat a good diaphragm call being used by someone who has mastered them.

    Horn Quality This Year ??

    where i hunt, the rain came a little late for the elk it seemed like, so they have average-decent antler growth. the rain seemed to be just in time for the deer, and they are having a great year. all the bucks i watch have put on a lot of growth since last year

    Rifle bipods

    Harris is the way to go. i've spent money on knock offs and they seem to work good for a couple seasons before they fall apart. i have had a harris for probably 7 years now, and stillworks flawlessly
