I forget trying to figure out moon cycles. I hunt whenever I can. I have noticed over the years that when sitting water full moon days were much less productive than dark days. And I have been told by biologist that day length influences rut activity more than any one factor. Just hunt

This is the funniest thing ive seen today! How is it really superior to a good ole 260 rem?

Don't really see any need for one.I got enough firing on full auto in Viet Nam to last out my life.Didn't even know that such a thing was made until Las Vegas.I would rather place one good shot than 30 bad ones.

If the wind blows over your tripod...your not using the right tripod

Saw a pic today. Socks is dead. Rifle hunter killed him. 😢😢. Guess it’s better to know he’s dead than to continue to hunt for him. Brian

Now There is some wisdom of the ages. That is real hunting. Todays shooter needs 50 lbs of 4000 dollar battery operated junk plus pages of dope charts to kill or wound a little whitetail. 😩

Last May, two men parachuted out of a WWII Gruman Avenger, just south of Whiteriver, AZ. They were flying the antique plane east when they experienced engine trouble and had to bale out at approximately 800' AGL. Plane was lost by radar just south of Mt Baldy and hasn't been seen since. The owner is offering a $20,000 reward for the GPS Coordinates of the crash site. Happy hunting and don't forget to split the reward with me. https://www.wmicentral.com/news/apache_county/a-tale-of-survival-and-the-search-for-a-lost/article_c249ee52-d03a-5c5f-8ca3-979d37feda32.html

If you are reading this and know my son Draysen, shhhh!!! He is at school and doesn't know yet, but I can't contain my excitement! Justin from NWTF -Arizona called me just a little while ago to let me know that Draysen is this year's winner of their annual JAKES essay contest! He and his chaperone (me of course!!!) will get flown to Nashville for the annual convention in February, and then to Kansas in April where he will get an all expenses paid turkey hunt. I'm so dang excited I can barely contain it!

Anytime I try to pattern deer activity with moon activity, bad weather comes along and changes everything. barometric pressure is probably more reliable in guessing what they are doing during the course of a day. That's just my experience, but I am no expert. I also think it's true that whitetail have changing behavior and habits by local and subspecies. I now know 3 types of whitetail well enough to know that they are quite different in deed. Most of Montana has the midwest subspecies or whatever it's called. They hang in the river bottoms for the most part. Easy to hunt, but harder to find on public land because river valleys are usually private property. In the far west part of Montana, they have another kind of whitetail that hangs in the hills in the timber. They are easy to hunt and easier to find on public land cause they can be found in the hills, Then there are these Coues here in AZ that are way different than the other two. In fact, if I were advising a hunter from Montana who was hunting Coues for the first time, I'd tell them to hunt them more like Montana Muleys.

Pics or it didn't happen

Isn’t most of the stuff usually set up by the ranch or the outfitter ? Hopefully you guys come back with both of your kidneys. 😂

Let's see what the price gets to, guessing 400 each. People are worried about banning these what about putting the business that made them under? Wiped em right off the map way before this ban. I'm pretty sure I never received any notice of my illegal items of purchase so I'll just wait for that letter or a knock at the door.

Garbage attitude? I am not going to get in a pissing match with you.I just feel like spending a year in the bush,getting shot,malaria,seeing friends die that maybe,just maybe I could present my case.

I was hunting up high and saw two sets of tracks in the snow I could have swore were wolves. My family has been going to the area since the 40’s and I’ve never seen this many dogs. The 22-250 will be seeing some action this summer/spring.

Sorry 1 million dollars! Im a retard

Its all fun and games and sooo exciting until Mildred's toy poodle gets eaten off the end of its leash , Then Saddlebrooke will be having a town hall meeting and demanding justice be done! AZGF will capture and euthanize it. AZHSUS and PETA will will decry its murder as a senseless act of barbarianism. No winner except Mildred, who gets rid of a toy poodle.

U of A basketball fans this year are going to get a real taste of what it has been like being an ASU basketball fan all these years.

Uh, you got bigger stones than me. I won’t even call my mom in the dark.

I tried calling in pigs last Jan and had a lion charge me from out of nowhere. I can only assume he was already stalking me. Maybe got to 50 yards before I crapped myself, stood up, and yelled. No side arm and bow was on the ground or I'd have my cat. Mistakes were made. 36's full of them.

After all that I am gonna say one thing. I would go with a rifle big enough to take down a Bull Elk! I would shoot a 30-06 as this caliber has the widest range of weights and bullet styles. A good rifle in that caliber can accurately hit out to 800 yards. My brother has one he shoots 168grn out to 1000 yards consistently! My dad has dropped everything he shoots with his Smith-Corona 03-A3 shooting a 130grn Hornady. If you can afford to run multiple rifles then you could shoot the 243 for deer and any heavier caliber for elk. 411 yard cross canyon shot with a 10 mph crosswind.

This deer was shot by my daughter this year and it has 4 white socks as well. The markings on the back legs are close. I wonder if they are related?

first of all you need a flatty and a ruger American predator to be able to shoot to 1000, then talk about how much better it is than a custom. then your with the cool crew

Where did all this about me shooting 650 yards with my rifle come from? And me needing a bigger rifle to shoot 650? I’m lost. I apologize to the flat brim gods. I will never insult the creedmoor again!

I push 130’s at neary 3300fps out of my .264wm. I know everyone loves the 6.5cm, all that i am saying is a 120gn bullet at 2800 fps isn’t causing enough trauma for my liking. I know the argument is always “shot placement” but i like my rifles to kill even if shot placement is off a few inches.
