Lots of bugles and called this bull from cows opening evening for my son. His first archery bull!

The UPS Store is a franchise privately owned business. The contract between the franchisee and UPS states that the store can not ship fire arms or parts or the franchisee will lose their store/investment. There are multiple reasons for this, theft of firearms due to lack of security, multiple confusing laws regarding shipping are 2 major ones. Some owners take the rule too far and that is what many of you have experienced. Low IQ cashiers who cannot think for them selves make this worse. You could go online, print a label, and drop that same scope at the same Store with no issue. In that case be sure to get a receipt that you dropped it off. Yes UPS ships firearms & ammo, but not the same as a store. I understand everyone’s frustration. This rule has been in place for over 10 years. So this isn’t due to the current anti gun attitudes of some. i owned a UPS store and went thru the “we can’t ship your gun” routine. I would have gladly shipped firearms but the risk to my investment wasn’t worth what I would earn on that shipment. Many times I did ship precision machines parts, telescope parts, precision glass. Etc. never a fire arm or receiver. remember your dealing With retail & that level of employee. I’m not trying to defend these people, just explain why things are this way.

I understand that companies have policies that i may not agree with and at that point I can chose whether or not to continue doing business with them. What I will not stand for is being treated like a criminal and talked to like i am a radical by a couple of punk kids that have no idea what they are talking about. The box cutter the brawd was using was a LOT more dangerous than my fully automatic rifle scope with machine gun clips and heat seeking capabilities. I dropped it off at Fedex today without any issues. They knew what it was and had no complaints.

My son and I scouted hard all summer, he named a buck that was coming in regular “eye guards”. After some tough misses on opening day, Saturday about 2:00 pm eye guards came strolling in and Tanner capitalized on him with one 50 yard shot, the buck ran 100 yards and piled up. He is still on cloud nine, I’m super proud of him. For those that care he rough green scored 111”.

You're not allowed to ask what unit. Might as well say something about his mother or sister as it is considered very offensive around here....lol

My daughters first limit of doves.

It wasn’t quite OTC. MT general elk is a draw. Something I have wanted to do for many years, as my Dad is from there and we have spent many summers there. I’ll be staying at my parents place hunting nearby. Its almost a 20 hour drive, to hunt poverty elk, but it’s sentimental for me and I can’t wait.

GAME AND FISH NEWS Sept. 14, 2020 Arizona Game and Fish Department Gearing up for a hunt? Don’t forget the non-lead ammo Hunters asked to continue voluntary lead-reduction efforts this fall PHOENIX — Arizona hunters have proven their long-held commitment to wildlife conservation by voluntarily working to reduce the amount of lead exposure to endangered California condors, and the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) is encouraging all hunters to join the effort this fall. Hunters drawn for hunts in Game Management Units 12 and 13 (north Kaibab National Forest and Arizona Strip) are eligible to participate in the department’s non-lead ammunition program and are encouraged to pick up their free ammunition early, while supplies last. Information about the program was mailed to those who drew hunt tags for the selected units. Since 2008, 88 percent of hunters in Arizona’s condor range have voluntarily used non-lead ammunition during their hunts or, if they used lead ammunition, removed the gut piles from the field. AZGFD reminds hunters that if they have trouble finding non-lead ammunition, they can still support condor recovery by removing gut piles from the field that were shot with lead ammunition. Hunters that remove their gut piles (lead ammunition only) are eligible to be entered into a raffle that offers prizes including an elk hunt on the Navajo Nation, Phoenix Zoo Total Experience tickets, Sportsmans Warehouse gift cards, and other prizes generously donated by multiple wildlife conservation partners. “Hunters in Arizona have always been true partners in wildlife conservation,” said Allen Zufelt, AZGFD condor program coordinator. “Last year 90 percent of hunters removed approximately 4 tons of remains that were potentially contaminated by lead ammunition or voluntarily used non-lead ammunition. These successes are clear evidence of our hunters’ continued commitment to condor management.” The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, which coordinates condor management with AZGFD, has implemented a lead-reduction program in southern Utah. As the condor population has become more established, the birds have increased their foraging area and now use southern Utah heavily during the fall hunting season. Lead poisoning has been identified as the leading cause of diagnosed death in endangered condors and the main obstacle to a self-sustaining population in Arizona and southern Utah. Studies suggest that lead shot and bullet fragments found in animal carcasses and gut piles are the most likely source of lead exposure. Many hunters do not realize that the carcass or gut pile they leave in the field usually contains lead bullet fragments. Gut piles from animals harvested with non-lead ammunition provide an important food source for the condors and should be left in the field. Arizona’s condor population was reintroduced to the state under a 10(j) Rule, a special provision of the Endangered Species Act that designates the population as experimental and not essential to the species’ survival. The 10(j) Rule was used to obtain acceptance among communities in Arizona and Utah and assures that “current and future land…uses…shall not be restricted due to…condors” and that the federal government did “not intend to” modify or restrict “current hunting regulations anywhere…in the experimental population area.” Information on non-lead ammunition and how hunters can help is sent by mail to those drawn for hunts in condor range. For more information on condors and lead and a list of available non-lead ammunition, visit www.azgfd.gov/condor.

Helping a friend with an archery cow tag and we've named this bull the Unicorn Bull. We've seen multiple strange bulls in this area, must be the area 51 for elk.

Was pretty cool. Water was 25 yds IMG_9865.MOV

I got a really good deal at apc trailer in Tucson..

looking for a trailer to tow a rzr on. Let me know if you have one for sale. 14ft plus.

Yall say Sportsmans, but I think you mean Outdoorsmans, right?

Pajama boy activist at its insufferable best. Were you shipping to BLM HQ, they'd have no issues.

thank you azhound. im not looking anymore unless someone has some they are dying to get rid of.

I saw this bull off the road yesterday. Then I saw he was on my camera a few days earlier.

Looks like you might need to start another one.

This is a UPS STORE policy, not UPS. I believe the UPS STORE is a separate, private company.

I would guess you went to a hoky UPS store. You should still be able to ship from the real UPS terminal.

When I saw the price, I thought it had some upgrades for the rest and sight but was everything it came with. I bought my daughter one for like $360.

Wife killed it tonight whipping up some spicy bluefin poke over rice. Incredible!

My niece filled her poverty tag pretty quick this morning

We include French’s fried onions on ours for some crunchy contrast (not pictured)
