    Memorial Day Camping Suggestions

    Just be sure not to camp within 1/4 mile of any of these lakes or you will likely get asked to pack up and move. Speaking specifically of Knoll Lake, you can no longer camp anywhere along that final road (marked in red) that leads up to the lake other than the campground. All disbursed camping must be along the road before and after this final road. I doubt you will be able to have a campfire at any of these locations. But know that the dividing lines for Coconino and Apache Sitgreaves National Forests divides right at Knoll lake. East side is Apache Sitgreaves and West is Coconino. Fire restriction might differ for each.

    Jed Larson, another guy that should be at the top of the list. Great guy!

    Unit 1

    I haven't hunted with Burnt Timber but have met and chatted with Daniel Franco a few times. Good guy. I'd definitely give them some consideration as well.

    Point Guard

    That is where I figure you were going. Doesn't work that way. See the exerpt I posted above from the regs. Your license must be valid on the last day of the application deadline, not the day you apply. The license you buy on Feb 1 will not be valid on the final day of the application deadline the following year. Take 2016 and 2017 for example. Let's say you bought your license in 2016 on the last day possible for elk which was 2/09/16. In 2017 that draw deadline will be on 2/14/17 (second Tuesday in February). You license is no longer valid.

    Fairly certain I know where you are going with this, and I'm likewise pretty certain you are wrong. But I'd love to hear your train of thought.

    Unit 1

    Some sponsors of this site focus on and guide that unit. Don't know if he is completely booked up, but I'd call Shane Koury of Koury Guide Service out of Show Low/Pine Top. I know a couple of other good ones, but they are already doing personal hunts.

    12x50 swarovski EL V.S. Vortex Kaibab HD 15x56

    Definitely worth the money to get the stud installed from Outdoorsmans.

    12x50 swarovski EL V.S. Vortex Kaibab HD 15x56

    Sold my 12x50 Razors for 12x50 Swaro EL. Not knocking the Razors, I loved them and wouldn't have a problem owning another pair. But Swaros are just flat out better. Comes down to what you can afford. If you can afford $1000-$1200 Razors are great. If you have $2500+, get the Swaros. Guys who use Cabela's brand love them as well and the are comparable to Razors in price.

    Elite impulse 34 input

    I shot just about everything out there over the past few months. The Elite is in my top two along with the Prime Rize. Both were awesome and I go back and forth between the two a lot. I'm leaning towards the Rize, but you couldn't go wrong with either. The are both super smooth, very solid wall, next to no vibration, etc. They carry them both at Timber Mesa archery, along with just about every other major brand. Go down and talk to Junior. He is a good guy. Here was my take and rankings on the bows I shot: 1. Rize or Impulse 2. Rize of Impulse 3. Matthews Halon 4. Bowtech Boss 5. PSE Decree 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Hoyt Defiant - I wanted to love this bow and went in with this bow at the top of my list. But did not like it and have heard a lot of bad things about Hoyt's latest offering from a lot of Hoyt die hard fans.

    For our kids

    There is plenty of money for education. But the politicians know voters will never vote to approve the money for their 100s of BS programs. So they take the money that should go to education to fund the BS. Then they flood TV and radio with sob stories about needing more money for education because they know the voting majority for the saps they are.

    Regs out for deer

    Starting all over this year as I finally got to cashed my points in last fall. Love agonizing over the regs and making plans for hunts I won't be drawing!

    Gold Tip XT or Easton Axis?

    I was having the same internal debate a couple of months ago between these two arrows. Got a lot of great opinions and was leaning toward Gold Tip, thanks largely for the same advise WHT_MTNMAN gave you and me both. However, I am now leaning toward the Victory VAP after having the chance to look at and shoot a few. Among other things, they have the benefit of the smaller diameter without all the special insert nonsense. http://victoryarchery.greenrope.com/victory-vap.html

    Cases getting stuck in chamber

    My buddy had the exact same problem a couple of years ago with his Remington Sendero 7mm Mag. He tried all kinds of things himself without success. Ultimately he took it to a gunsmith who polished the chamber. Pretty simple, but that did the trick. Hasn't had a problem since and it is a tack driver.
