These are solid actions. I bought one in a pawn shop in tucson almost 20 years ago. Picked it up for $40 because it was missing the floor plate. Its one of my best shooting guns.

Its a pretty good youth gun and the ammo shoots really well out of this gun.

You can buy them at Cal-Ranch and I think Sportmans has them too.

https://paddling.com/paddle/trips/verde-river-az-thru-paddle-2/ You have probably seen it, but this was a pretty good read. We plan to do the whole river, but we are doing it in sections

Have you done the verde before? We cancelled our trip last year due to all the water. This year we are doing the headwaters to Camp Verde in late April.

Scout both. There are antelope all over 7.

looks like a bear to me

If it's that simple, how many have you called and killed? Any pics?

We live west of Flagstaff about 20 miles. Our coop is an old gutted aluminum trailer with a 20x30 run attached. I covered the top of the run to keep the critters out. Temps get down to as low as -9 and we have never heated the coop. We have 15 hens of several different breeds and one rooster. We do run a heated water bucket, but that is all we do. In 4 years we have never lost a chicken. They do slow down with laying during the shorter days of winter, but even right now with temps in the teens at night, we are getting 8-10 eggs a day. We started with a cheap coop from Tractor Supply and 6 hens but realized right away it was too small. Good luck finding a coop!

Not like I had hoped. The bullet blew up on the shoulder blade on a close shot. With the big .338's we have had the best luck with barns so I guess I will go to the 270gr barnes for my next hunt.

I agree 100%

.243ai with 85gr game kings 265yds

No hit yet. Guess I didn't get drawn

thats interesting......

I've done this too. I have a buck that's 8yrs out of the freezer and still looks great.

What is a good size perch? I took my boy out last fall and we caught a bunch that were about 8-10 long. I released them all because I thought they were too small to cook.

I was looking into a smoke less build a few years back but I thought it wasnt legal in Az.

I saw a buck in 2016 and wanted pics of him. I set up 3 salts and 4 cameras in that area. I got him 2 times on a trail leading to water, never on the salt. I have seen him a few other times. He is still there but never has gone to the salt.

Please tell me you don't actually believe that... Give me enough funding and I can get you a study to prove anything you want. I also don't trust the public school to actually educate my kid, so I doubt you and I could every find common ground for a fact based discussion. Facts are not "science", they are just reality.

This right here is how liberals are made.

That is a great idea!

I would pick a guide that can give you some good references and let them help you decide.

Pretty sure there was a deer on the hunting Arizona group on Facebook. Pretty sure it was a mulie.
