i only put in last day, always will. getting a 2 bonus pt desert bighorn is all the superstition ill ever need. got in at about 6:55pm last day when i was living in pinetop. Its a gamble, but I can respect that. I'll take all the luck I can get. But I think AZGFD needs to post a disclaimer in the regs and on their website stating that there will be no deadline exceptions for website malfunctions. It might encourage people to get their apps in sooner.

The only thing that surprises me about this is: A- There are people who still didn't know or expect this was going to happen. B- People still waited till the last day even though this happens every time. I would have no problem with AZGFD not extending the deadline. The online app has been up for weeks and you still have time to hand deliver your paper application.

^^Nice Fish!^^ So after years of hounding my wife she has finally relented and agreed to allowing us to go down to San Carlos with the stipulation that I can find a big group of people to caravan down with. Looks like I need to get serious about finding places down there. Any recommendations for San Carlos accommodations?

Youth hunts aren't a guaranteed draw, in fact the draw odds for youth hunts are a lot lower in some areas than the general hunts. You would probably want to use those points for them, not that it is an option. Youth hunts offer a lot of benefits to the little guys and gals over the general hunts.

I have one in a 7-08 that I put a brake on and use to teach my little ones to shot and hunt with till they are big enough to upgrade. The can shoot it all day long without fearing the recoil and it's a great shooter!

Great idea, wish I had the equipment to weld.

This is part of their father's day sale and is in their sales flier. It looks like it applies to all 3 AZ stores. Also looks like $100 off most if not all T3s.

Great experience! Congratulations to your family and the Ground Pounders.

Thanks for the info macknnc. It Looks like you have done a lot more research than I. I am going to have to look into these guys a little bit. But I would venture a guess that, in our current era, more coyotes are killed with a AR-15 (.223 or 5.56) that just about any other caliber. Also seems peculiar that many militaries around the world, our own included, find the 5.56/.223 effective for killing 150+ pound men, but that it might not be sufficient for a 30-40 pound dog.

The Badlands harness is also available on Amazon for about $30 with Prime shipping.

I'm sure If someone found one of these big packs they could find plenty of guys on here to split the box.

Only luck I have had is getting on the back order list with someone. I did this with Grafs. Took about 6 months, but I got them.

I wear glasses. I'd be tripping every 10 feet while hiking if I didn't. In the heat of the moment I'd never remember to take them off for a shot, and if I did remember I'm probably end up stepping on them during the post shot excitement. The trick is to find a scope with longer eye relief to maximize the distance between your glasses and the eyepiece. A good muzzle brake will also make a big distance in minimizing the recoil so that the scope doesn't get kicked back into your glasses.

Wow, I'm curious under what context someone or an article would claimed that a .223 is not adequate for coyotes. Sound ridiculous to me.

Wow, that guy looks like he could get really big over the next few months!

I own the Nikon and the Vortex scope you mention. I prefer the glass in the Vortex Viper.

If you are not so great at hitting the vitals, this is the rifle for you. The 300 grain bullet this beast spits out will probably rip your coues in half.

Like speedygoss said, short of doing a custom build, you won't find this rifle in this condition. Knowing huntjunkie and how long and hard he had to look, as well as the the ordeal he went through to get it, I'm amazed he's selling.

I'd camp around Greens Peak and hit Carnero Lake while there is still a decent about of water in it. My friend did really well there last weekend. Artificial lures only and you will probably have to carry your bot a bit to the water. Yoy can also usually catch some nice fish at Sunrise if you don't mind paying the reservation fees.

Have there been any updates about possible stage 3 restrictions over the past few days???

The big question is, was it intentional? Makes a big difference in how cool it actually is.

...wild burros and horses too. All true, but they taste fantastic!

I was at the seminar a year ago with you and remember it well. Congratulations to everyone involved.

Could it have been a cactus buck? A cactus buck is usually the result of a buck that has had some form of accident (usually with a fence) where it has lost its genitals. It usually results in unusual antler growth and velvet staying on the antlers.

Sweet!
