That's a good deal for someone. $200 in mags and ammo alone

I hunt all day and feel that most people who get it done consistently do. I chase bugles morning and evening and usually sit wallows or water mid day. Archery elk huntinf is not for people that like sleep. My days usually start at 2:00 waking up. Out of camp by 3:00. Find a hot spot where the elk are making noise and get as close as you can in the dark. Chase bugles until they bed and go sit water until 3:00 or so. Chase bugles until dark, eat dinner and head back out to locate bulls so they will be easier to find in the morning

In my experience river fishing, stay away from closed faced reels if possible. I'm always getting my spinning reels wet crossing and such. Closed faced reels seem to seize up when that happens. Like stated above, quality, appropriate sized line makes a BIG difference

It says they are out of Laramie Wyoming

Stumbled on a herd of 10-11 rockies the other day. Couple pretty good ones.

Yeah, they weren't very far off the road. Rockies are usually a lot bigger body size. Really deep chested, stocky animals. Big rams go over 300lbs. Most desert sheep i think are in the ballpark of 150-200lbs. Their coat is usually a lot more gray as well. Like you stated, easiest way to tell is where they are. I have seen rockies from 3,000' in unit 28 to 9,000'+ in unit 1/27 though. Theoretically there isn't any overlap in their populations though i

sad reality that probably 90% of us that apply every year will never get an AZ ram. The Ram in the 4th pic down could really be a big one in a few years. Real low dropping curl and long horns. Looks like he's only 6-7 years old

The Fluorite wears off after a few washes. You can buy special detergent that puts the fluorite back into them though

Anyone know of a good beetle/skull cleaner preferably in the east valley? I know CMC in Tucson does a great job, but don't want to drive to Tucson. It's for a big bull elk, if that matters.

Crispi makes a fantastic boot. I've got one long season on a pair of their summit gtx's. still holding up well. Honestly probably the most comofortable boot i've ever worn

I found a camera hung in one of the areas i hunt. It has been there for about 3 years now and nobody has checked it. Can't bring myself to pull the card. Wonder when the statute of limitations runs out? Haha

Is the stock wood?

65's get really dark on high power. I have a zeiss diascope 65 and love it, but am probably going to upgrade to an 85 this year

^^^^^^^^ This Why not keep it as a donor action? Also, not to hijack the thread, but can we see picks of your .264 Win mag Greyghost? I'm about done with load development. As soon as it's finished i'll post a short write up with some photos

Doesn't look like the factory stock anyways. I woukd think around $500 give or take $100 i guess. The scope on it adds no value

Yeah, that's a stud. Seen that picture a few times. The background is real familiar!

They WERE 2 blocks from my office. About 15 miles closer to home now i guess

I don't think anyone else stated Bear Mountain is the best in town. IMO they are the worst shop in town

Another one for Ross. AZ archery club took almost 4 months to replace strings/axles on my bow about 2 years ago, and when it was "done" the rest wasn't installed and they lost my arrows. Archery Headquarters tries to do everything online so there isn't much face to face interaction. Supposed to log in to use the range, all work is done via email, etc. Ross has always treated me very well

Sorry about your mom. You can buy them on amazon for a fraction of what a doctor would charge. Under $100

Why not a 6.5? Plenty for elk with 140's, low recoil and ballisticly superior to 7mm-08

Spott hogg. Absolutely bullet proof. Been shooting the 7DP for about 7 years now and can't find one i like better. A little heavy, but a few ounces isn't much sacrifice when you consider the peace of mind you get knowing the site won't fail

Camofire.com has some great deals on trail cameras right now. Just a heads up for anyone that is looking

All that means is they've got all the kinks worked out of them!

I would think low to mid 70's. especially with that broken prong. 14.5" length, average mass, average prongs. Could be a good one this year. Antelope can really get big fast compared to other animals. 3-5 i think are their biggest years
