5.4" for the month of July at the airport in Tucson which is roughly 3" above our avg for the month of July. And where i live in Marana I know for fact we got more than that as a friend emptied the rain guage last friday with 1.5" for that day and the next day dumped 3.5" out.

THe first thing i would ask myself is what do i need a gps unit to be able to do functionally. If its just to get you back to camp or the vehicle i would not spend alot of $$. I also have the Rhino 110 and a Rhino 120 but i aslo have a young son who hunts with me and the ability to know where he is at all times AND speak to him is crucial (we hunt alot in unit 36C lots of UDA's) now having said that if cost is not an issue, i would suggest the rhino (Ebay has em for around $120 for a new 110 the 120 is about $200). The difference between the two is the amount of memory and the ability to upload and download maps via the MAPSource software.

I shoot Muzzy 3 blade 100gr and have had nothing but good luck with them. Word to the wise, if you choose the Muzzy's they DO NOT fly like your field point, so when you sight in be sure and use the practice blades.

Well Lady luck has been good to the family this year, Myself, the wife, my son, nephew, Brother and Father drew 36C Nov Whitetail. I also drew an early Archery Any Elk Tag on Camp Navajo in Bellemont, my son drew a rifle cow elk for the same area.
-
Well I for one am not going to sit here all day today, I think i might drive down to 36C and check on a few waterholes and see if i cant glass up some deer! Might even take the bow with me and take out some frustration on the healthy population of HUGE jackrabbits down there.

Well regardless if the results come today tomorrow or sometime next week, as long as they are out by the 28th the G&F can say the results were out early and thats probably all they are shooting for. Now let me throw this out for y'all to chew on. Do you think that if Arizona started there draw process the same time as the other states did, would it reduce (thus increasing odds overall), increase (lessening odds) or stay the same in regards to the number of applicants? THe way i see it, all of those who dont draw in the afore mentioned states can always get one last chance in Arizona and i personally think it hurts everyones chances of being drawn because of that reason. Anyhow what do you all think?
-
If you hold the cursor over the picture on the main page it does in fact mention fall draw results, nut it has been that way for at least a week.

Lordy PLEASE don't bring this topic up again. It dang near brought some folks close to fist fightin!
-
Well if i have to endure another freakin week of bein glued to this dang computer, imma kill something alright but i can tell you it wont be a big game animal! As I posted in another forum I know that either my wife got a once in a lifetime rifle bull tag in unit 10 or she, I and the boys got drawn for deer in 36c Nov whitetail or mulie. Unfortunately me and the oldest boy will have to wait for results on our elk apps as we did paper on those none the less that non-hunter type that is in charge of posting the results needs to crap or get off the pot!
-
Well I got 2 hits, one for 78.00 which is either our 4 deer permits, or my wife drew unit 10 bull early hunt, i am more inclined to beleive its the 4 deer permits. I also put my dad and younger brother in and that accounts for the second hit of 39.00 for 2 deer permits. My son and i put in 2 paper apps for archery elk so we'll just have to wait and see about those 2. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

hunt4horns: If you wouldnt mind I'd like the contact info as well for the place in Vegas.

I currently own and use a pair of Docter 15x60's that i bought off ebay for $400. I have also looked into replacing the eyecups as mine are in rough shape. I have only found one place that can replace them, and it is in Montana. The eyecups have to be custom fit which means you will have to send them off and wait. I chose to just deal with mine versus sending off the binos. If you want the email address to the place i found let me know and i will be happy to provide it!

There in lies the problem. A majority of the people in this great country have taken the "Ignore it and it will go away" stance on too many things including border security. We ignored the terrorists, they got us, we've ignored the immigrants, they think they have us. What's the solution? I have not a clue but ignoring it will just make it worse. The deployment of troops on the border i think will help slow the flow of UDA's or force them to use more remote areas to pass through. Bottom line, a majority of Americans dont truly understand whats happening so they really dont care and will not hold their congressional reps accountable. Its a sad state of affairs when an Illegal immigrant has equal the rights that i have, and i am here legally.

It most defiantely is a huge problem with no quick fix in sight. I spent alot of time down in 36C last year, particularly the Brown Canyon area and was simply amazed at what i saw. The trails are unbeleivable, the trash is everywhere and i did see alot of UDA's. THe one thing i did notice, on the days when there was visible BP activity in the area, i saw not a single UDA, and on the days i saw no BP, the UDA's were out in force. Now we have "W" preparing to deploy the military along the southern border, very nice, lets stretch the military even thinner than it already is, personally I thinks its just eyewash but i guess we will see.

I'm looking for a tripod adapter for my Docter 15x60's. I would prefer the 2 piece adapter going from the off-center mounting thread to a center hole mounting thread. If anyone knows where i can find one, or knows of another setup that works well please let me know.
-
For rifle its a Rem 700XCR in .300WSM shooting 165gr Nosler Partition and topped with a VXII 4-12x40AO, Docter 15x60's for the glasses. Just got into the Coues scene and havent invested in a quality pack as of yet nor have i invested in a good tripod as i am having trouble finding a tripod adapter for my Docters. Archery is an 05 PSE Vengeance with a Whisker Biscuit DT QS rest, PSE F-22 sights, Lore stabilizer, PSE Radial X-Weave 29" tipped with Muzzy 100gr 3 Blade broadheads and the same glasses as the rifle set-up.
-
I also shoot muzzy's, 100gr 3 blade and i have not a single complaint about them.
-
Well, i got skunked only had one gobble and that was it. My son and i did manage to catch 14 trout so it wasnt a total loss! Now there is nothing to hunt til Archery season I guess that means i'll have to start knocking things off the Honey-Do list
-
Well I am heading out bright and early tomorrow morning for my turkey hunt up on Camp Navajo (Bellemont). I have hunted elk there for the past 4 years and have seen the birds during the elk hunts, hopefull i can trick one into bow range or shotgun range. THe one nice thing about Camp Navajo is that there are certain areas of the post that are archery only, so if i cant find one in the common areas, i'll go in the limited ones. ANyhow, wish me luck!

Is anyone else getting the redirect to traff4all.biz, traffdollars.biz, or 1-extreme.biz?
-
I can tell you this about Ft Huachuca, if you are not active military, Guard, or Reserve or retired military you cannot hunt on Ft Huachuca . I know this only because i am active duty military (soon to be retired ) and wanted to put my dad and 2 brothers in with me for a Dec whitetail hunt on Ft Huachuca and could not do it. I have heard from a co-worker who hunted there last December, there is a good population of Coues and some mulies as well.

When the main page is accessed a file named xpl.wmf is downloaded and executed. WMF fiile is a picture file and this particular one is what causes the redirect to the .biz websites that are trying to be accesed when you hit the back button trying to get out of the discussion forum. If the source of the xpl.wmf file on the main page can be found and eliminated, i think you will be ok. WMF files are auto executed in Internet Explorer which gives the user no say in the matter. Good luck!

If you use a different browser, such as mozilla firefox there is no problem and everything works just fine.
-
Well from what i have found, it only affects the discussion forum. It will let you into the forum but once you select an area and try to use the back button, you are done. At this point you have to maneuver back to the main page and go back into the forum. All of the other links from the main page are fine it seems.

I think he just implied that i was gay? WTF?
