This is a good thread. As daylight starts to light up the hillside you know there is a big animal on and you are already behind your tripod. Hard to beat that feeling

Releasing trout? Blasphemy! Those white meat stockers are so delicious and flavorful!..... 1. Seeing successful draw results 2. Big elk 3. When hunting season finally starts again

looking at gunbroker, there are a couple similar rifles, not in as good shape and no documentation like yours has, they are asking over $4,000. i would assume that it's gotta be worth more than that. hopefully "Levers" will weigh in

there are no rules in place about when you can and cannot run trail cameras. nothing has changed. technically anything left in the woods is considered abandoned after X amount of time. that is the risk with running trail cameras, nobody can really enforce anything if they are stolen because technically they can be considered abandoned property

some guys are getting sweet deals. the scopes on the rifles, particularly the muzzy and .270, are worth near asking price.

Is the issue that your accutrigger isn't light enough, or just don't like it? i love the feel of my accutrigger but i can only get it down to 3-3.5 lbs. i see you can buy a replacement spring for about $5 that will knock off a pound or so of pull.

Hoping it's a wolf that someone ditched. Wishful thinking i'm sure. Probaly a coyote from a contest like th said

Call in "catty" areas and call for a long time. An hour or more per stand. Don't shoot any foxes, coyotes, bobcats, or anything else that comes in

oof. what a bear. congrats

Depends completely on moisture. If the burn areas start getting a lot of rain right away, they will green up in a hurry. If it stays dry, they will be desolate. It seems to me, in areas where scorching burns push through, it takes a year or so for the vegetation and wildlife to return

I think the two consecutive years of good weather is what is really helping the elk this year. My last tags i had were in drought years. Sure happy to have a tag this year with great antler growth. Great pics, keep up the good work

Sonoran Grizzlies were eradicated, the grizzlies that we have are not the same species as what used to roam AZ. Saying you would be behind reintroduction is the part that bothers me. Grizzlies have caused more issues in northwestern states as of late than i would care to see in AZ. We are already dealing with wolves in the blue, last thing we need is more granola eaters with a gps, tracking an animal that has no business being part of the landscape. Selfish due to the fact that the possibility of some day shooting a grizzly bear in Arizona outweighs the obvious negative effects they would bring

Does she need any practice skulls?

That's a sweet rifle. If only it wasn't a single shot. Do you have to take the bolt out to load a round? Maybe try parting it out?

If you had property or ran cattle in the blue wilderness you would say otherwise. That is ground zero for the hybrid wolf reintroduction, and the land is yet to recover from that. last thing we need is bears that have NEVER been native to az released in to the blue.Look at Montana, the objective has been met/surpassed many times over and the state still can't manage them. If reintroduction is pushed for hunting purposes AZ will have yet another BS "endangered" untouchable species to deal with. Ben Lilly did us all a favoe by eradicating them. RIP. Tread lightly in this. Sonoran Grizzlies, which is the sub species we had in AZ, is extinct. Reintroducing ordinary grizzlies into an unsuspecting habitat would be detrimental. Saying you would be "behind it" is a selfish an uneducated response.

It was a python, not a coral snake

"When there's carbon in the air, there's hope"

10% of bucks killed were over 200"? That's pretty good odds, especially archery

you are correct. at least 20 a year should be cleared out though?

Heat, your inbox is full.....

Now with all the max point holders handcuffing themselves by applying for the same couple units, do 20% of them even get drawn every year? it sure doesn't seem like it. About 10 years ago i ran the numbers on the max point holders and at 20% of them getting tags every year, the max pool should have been cleared out by now?

Heat, that sheep in your avatar looks big. any story on it? better photos? i wish G&F would go back to up front fees for all species. especially bighorn. it would weed out a LOT of people that aren't all that interested in hunting to begin with

That guy in this site drew 27 rocky with 0bp last year! It would blow most people's mind's if they knew how little bp's helped until you have max. From 0 to 26 bp's there is only like a 2-3% odds increase. Honestly, odds of drawing a sheep tag aren't much worse than a rifle antelope tag in a good unit. I'm sitting on 18bp for lope and only have about a 2-4% chance of a tag compared to about a 1-2.5% chance for sheep

Ernesto, i'm guessing that's a typo? The absolute max is 27?
