Can Mitt possibly dig himself any deeper?
AverageJoe replied to PRDATR's topic in Political Discussions related to hunting
Romney could be the biggest cheat in history and i would still vote for him over Obama. -
I have a couple bows for you to come look at if you want. I am in gilbert also. What is your draw length?

Do a google search on azgfd youth and this post is fifth on the search results. Now someone doing a random search or inquiring on youth hunts in az will see this and possibly not go any further into hunting with their kid here in az. This thread Should be removed all together. Azgfd does a great job with youth hunts.

Good job! Use whatever you want as long as its legal!!

Very true. He didnt hurt himself at all in the election. Just stated the obvious. The ones that got mad would have nver voted for him in the first place -

Why again do we need the 47% around who do not pay taxes or contribute to society in any way? Why do they get to vote? Glad i work and pay taxes to support so many lazy worthless obama voters. -
Lol. Hoochie mama = The worst call to bring on an az elk hunt. Surprised that thing is still on the market.

140 grn barnes tsx in 270 cal.
AverageJoe replied to swaro06's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
600 is the end of the range for the 160 tsx out of a 7mag but still had 1800 fps or slightly over. Coues at 200 definitely had enough but still acted like an fmj. Got the kill though. Go with a 175 sierra gameking out of a 7mag and it has enough to effectively kill at 1000 yds. That is my new choice. Blows the tsx out of the water as far as performance. -

Go with the ttsx it is better. Shot a coues at 200 with the 160 tsx and it never opened up at all. Acted like a fmj. Same with an elk at 600. Poked small hole right through and never opened up. -
I have bad shoulders also. Both of them. Mine comes and goes though. Left one gets hard to hold up my bow at times and right one gets hard to pull it back. Sucks. Then there is my knee problems. Whole nother story. Why cant you have surgery done? Seems the only solution. Can you go to a non VA doc? I was in the Marines and had bad luck anytime i went to a VA doc. I hope it all works out for you.

I think with reliance on technology the ability to hunt is slowly being lost. I use whatever is out there but i feel without my rangefinder i am lost. I am thinking about ditching it for archery hunting all together. I would rather just "know" how far the animal is and be able to shoot rather than fumble around with my rangefinder, range it, get my bow ready, etc, all the whIle losing precious moments icould have already shot out of confidence. You see what i am saying? With rifle hunting, i like the handiness of a rangefinder also, but dont need it. It helps on those long shots but truth be told one can learn to judge distances without it and most hunters can get within 300 yds of a deer pretty easily if needs be. Point is technology is actually a handicap and takes away from the basics of hunting. If your rangefinder breaks on a hunt can you still hunt out of experience or would you cancel your hunt and go buy a new one? Can you use iron sights out to 500 yds with confidence? Find deer without thermal imaging? I am going back to the older style of hunting just so i do not forget how. I will still keep my cool gadgets for certain occasions but think it is important to remember how to actually hunt. And no i am not going back to just stick and string but to the days of youth when i learned to hunt without all these gadgets. I realized the importance of this after the last week of archery hunting.

I chased my elk for 3 miles in that unit before i shot him. I was running for almost the whole three miles chasing his bugles. It was tough. Finally got him to turn around by bugling loud and nasty then raking a big branch against a tree. That got him mad at me. Literally he was looking to come tear me apart when i shot him at 30 yds. I had no luck at all cow calling. Seemed that sent them running in the other direction. Just something to think about.
-
Yeah lion/bear hunters get mad when you find their dog and baby it. I never call when i see a random hound. Just let it be.
-
I will pm you. Yes if you put in for 1 and 2 choices and get your second choice you still get a bonus point. You only lose your bonus point if you draw your first choice.

They already raided my house and took all my game meat. I am writing this from tent city.
-
Anyone have any bear meat i can buy from you? Not much but 5 or 10 lbs. I live in gilbert and will come pick it up or meet somewhere. Thanks, Jason

+1...skin it quarter it and pack it out right there. I used to wonder when i was young how all these trucks would have whole bull elk in the bed. Not even gutted or skinned or anything. Then they would be driving it around town showing off. I used to think two things....1, did they shoot it on the road?....2, arent they worried it is going to spoil? Didnt even know you could drive in to retrieve game, dad made me quarter it and pack it out.

Roasts mainly. I will pm you flatlander. Thanks
