Hopefully the moisture continues and a guy can do some shooting before the fire restrictions.

Dexamethasone (used for snake bites), multi tool for removing quills, cactus, thorns. Bailing twine (many uses including making a muzzle). Staple gun, sutures, super glue, benadryl, antibiotics in pill form (cephalexin and penicillin are the best). Syringes with the needles, ace bandage, gauze, soap (I keep a real small bottle of the blue Dawn Dish soap). Scalples or a havalon or havalon blades. A wash rag, rubber gloves, bottle of water, and it may sound strange but sardines in soybean oil, I've saved lots of dogs by feeding them that and it replenishes them and helps them heal, can also be used for giving meds peacefully. Double U Hunting Supply at www.dudupply.com has premade ones, that are real nice. Most of my stuff is hand me down from my dad and stuff that I have added to but the stuff I listed is the stuff that I use the most and that if i dont need it, i find someone on the mountain who needs it. Check the surplus stores, i have a navy medical kit that i carry in my pack, and its helped my dogs and even myself more then anything. Nothing worse then being miles from the truck and dogs getting into a situation and wishing you had the stuff.

With the help of maps provided by BowHuntAz I was able to locate the site I believe to have been "Sybil" at one time in AZ history. This past weekend I was able to find remnants of foundations, concrete slabs and what I believe to have been pillars for a water tower/tank. There are several railroad ties planted as posts in the same area and there is evidence of plumbing etc! According to the date stamp on one of the pillars 1923 is when some of that got built! My interest lies in the fact that my father in law lived in Sybil in 1954. While his family lived there his dad worked for Union Pacific and their house burned to the ground. We have one single picture that we collected from a relative that shows her dad and his brother standing in front of a couple of railroad tie posts with a trellis on top! I have been in touch with Union Pacific Railroad Museum in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Arizona Historical Society, Arizona Archives with nobody even acknowledging that such a place existed! Still waiting to hear from the California Union Pacific Museum to respond as well as Cochise County and no luck so far from the Benson Museum! Anybody that has kinfolk, relatives or just somebody you know who might have a picture of any of those buildings etc, I would love to get my hands on one! I gotta believe that somebody out there has a picture of that little railroad town! Any help appreciated!!!

Uncle Bill Armstrong was lucky enough to draw yet another Coues Deer tag this year and decided to hunt with nephews Levi and Steel Armstrong and Waylon Pettet. The first morning of the hunt was windy and cold little deer moving. Around 11:30 Bill and Levi glassed a buck getting up on the saddle below. After a debate on how big he was the stalk was on. Levi and Bill went down to kill the wide buck while Waylon and Steel stayed back to guide them in. After an hour long stalk Bill made the 545 yard shot. The buck has great mass and is 16 inches wide. Another 95 plus inch Buck for Uncle Bill. View the full article

Dude, aren’t you a little long in the tooth to have a toddler?! free bump

Nope just funny to see really, really old posts pop up but it seems as if this time it may have worked for ya in a round about way. 👍

All we have are feral horses, no such thing as a wild horse.

Do you know if they will work side by side in the normal position or does one or both need to be rotated 90° to allow for eye fitment? Do they have a mount that allows for the scope to rotate while the plate stays in the horizontal plane? Aluminum stock is cheap. Played with some a while back and made a setup for a spotter, binos and camcorder in 1 group for less than 20.00.

I'm not a trophy hunter, so I'll let others speak to the size of bulls. Guessing there will be bulls of almost all sizes running around there though. As for crowds, here's my take: I would expect to see some folks. One of the good things that 6A has going for it though, is the Pine Grove and Rattlesnake quiet areas. Check those out and you might be able to find a little solitude. Good luck to your friend! S.

Call and talk to Arlette, just don't call it a "Spaniel". In the US that was dropped back in the 80's. They are just called a Brittany over here. http://www.kninebirddog.com/contact.html

Here's our target, haha use what you got.

In his argument he implies that “you have to be trained and licensed to operate a vehicle”. This is true if you operate that vehicle on public roads. You do not have to having any training or licensing to own a vehicle. Just like owning a firearm requires no training or licensing. If you choose to carry your fire arm in public places you may need to have training or licensing like a concealed carry. Obviously there are State level differences with this. He is comparing apples and watermelons when comparing operating of an item and ownership of that item. If I own a vehicle and it is parked on my private property and not used on public roadways then no licensing or training is required. Your friend is blending arguments and missing the details along the way.

This would have been a cool toy

Let's go in on it.. seriously

Draysen (my son) and I spent every weekend and day off since January 1st chasing deer and javelina with our bows. We had more heartbreaking close calls than I want to think about, but never quite could close the deal. By the time the youth javelina hunt rolled around, we felt pretty dialed in on a few herds and just needed the piggies to cooperate. Kembria's first javelina hunt this past November was a new type of hunting "experience" for me, and tested my patience in ways I had not yet experienced. We had her lined up on so many pigs, so many times at close range, but it didn't work out. I took a lot away from that hunt about what my daughter needed from me to best help her, and about patience. We didn't make it out for the opener Friday morning, but were on road before 4:30AM Saturday morning. We got to the top of the mountain just as it was getting light and were treated to watch multiple groups of whitetail, including some solid bucks, as the sun rose. A little before 9:00 the herd of javelina showed up right about where I was expecting them. Kembria made a great shot from long distance. This particular area was not conducive to close shots. After hiking down to her pig, we took some pictures and I sent Draysen back up the mountain to another ridge to look for another herd. It was his turn, and I knew we would be a few hours field dressing and packing Kembria's pig out. The pack out was ridiculous! By the time Kembria and I got back to the truck with her javelina, it was around 2:00. We got her pig in the cooler and called Draysen to check on him. He had seen deer, but no javelina. So we came up with a new plan. It took him about 30 minutes to hike back to the truck. We jumped in and headed about 45 miles north to check on another herd. As we approached the area, Draysen jumped out with his rifle and pack to head up a ridge. Kembria and I headed about 1500 yards down the road to check out another ridge. We hiked up our ridge and proceeded to glass the area. The afternoon started to grow late and the sun was on the verge of dropping below the mountain. I then heard the gun shot and spun my binos back to the opposite ridge, about a mile away. I looked just in time to see my son holding his arms in the air victoriously. He had found a herd with his ears and had "woofed" them in. By the time he got a visual, this old boar, with teeth ground down to nubs, was at 36 yards for a quick shot. Kembria and I made our way to him, reaching him at the last bit of light. It was a great (and exhausting) day that didn't have us back to the truck with field dressed boar until a couple hours after dark. What a great day, but we are all three feeling the effects of it today! "The Crew" hadn't stopped all day to eat, so a late pit-stop at Taco Bell on the way home was definitely in order.

I just put three cameras up on Saturday. If you are using them to try to identify, locate, or pattern specific individual animals that you intend to target during a hunt, it is probably pointless to put them up more than a couple of weeks before the hunt. But I personally only use mine for general educational and entertainment purposes, so I may have cameras up any time of the year and may move them around quite a bit.

i leave them out all year.

well, as expected, the river was running big and fishing wasn't very good. ended up catching enough catfish for a couple of good fish fries but the bass bite was non existent. The water was running too hard to control your bait. as soon as I'd cast, my bait would wash 50' downstream. the water clarity wasn't terrible. 2-3 more weeks and it should be good. I did see 3 coues bucks, one of which was probably pushing 100", and they were all still packing antlers. seems a little late

There it is.

I need a safe space and/or a crying pod. That thing looks like it would give me PTSD.

Triggered

I’m offended

Sounds like a great day and plan, good luck!
