Buy an az lifetime before you go if you haven’t. Pry a redundant statement but I’ll say it anyway.

I always build any lower into a pistol first. That way you can top it with a rifle top, and back to a pistol. Letter of law if you build rifle first, it is always a rifle. If planning on doing a SBR, pistol first, test fire/fit. Make sure it works. Then do SBR paper work.

The fishing rules are mind numbing. For crab you'll need calipers and the ability to distinguish sexes. But unlike the local libtards's, you only have to worry about male vs female.

Shooting a bull when it's 90 degrees outside is a lot of work. I've been hunting close to home for the most part with the occasional excursion to the greatest unit. Seeing more than a few elk. Until today, i had my standards pretty high and passed up maybe 20 spikes and small bulls. The area I liked themost got hit hard by a couple of professional hunters and you may have seen the bulls they took on ig or Facebook. That being said my normal area was devoid of elk the last couple of days. Mostly from insomnia and little from curiosity I went to the greatest unit ever this morning with determination of shooting the first branch bull I see. My dog gave me a guilt trip so he came along for the ride. We get to our spot maybe 30 minutes after first light and start walking. 10 or twenty minutes after leaving the truck I spot a calf and few other non bulls. We get closer and for the first time ever my dog is not growling at rocks he's picking fights with. Then all of sudden an antlered bull sticks his head out for a moment 65 yards away and disappears just as quickly. I wait maybe 10 minutes, maybe 20 minutes, honestly idk, he comes out broadside at 60 yards. I am shooting a 1948 marlin off handed that I picked up from cwt member. (Apologies I forgot your handle) My first shot, no reaction, second shot no reaction, chambering of third shot he starts to cantor off and I go full.john Wayne shooting everything he's in an opening. I go to where my first 3 shots were and I find blood instantly. The herd climbs the hill opposite of me without my target in tow. i start following the blood trail thinking hes within a few dozen yards. Not the case, at all , I follow and the blood trail actually gets bigger for once. After an unknown distance and time, I catch up. He stumbles up and I put two more rounds into him, one behind the shoulder and the ending shot in the neck. I think this is my 10th elk and first with a rifle.

So that happened. A job offer I couldn't refuse and now I'm headed to Washington State. I've been thru their G&F websites and a ton of videos. Kind of confusing - but I think I got the hang of it. Any pros know the ropes? Ater 90 days- you're a resident and then you just buy the license of what you want? (Tons of GMU's and each have quirks). I'll wait for residency- the non-residency is too pricey. From what I can tell I don't think there's a draw. That's very alien.. Maybe there is and I can't find the details. It'll take awhile getting used to all the new stuff.

Found a site that monitors smaller fires including satellite "indications." https://maps.nwcg.gov/sa/#/%3F/%3F/34.3208/-111.8505/7 Inciweb is good but generally does not list smaller fires. Anybody know of better site(s) for wildfire info? Please share if you do.

I have to say with candid honesty, I’ve taken a break from this forum due to the cat like retorts between members. I am glad I had a couple minutes during a burrito break and chose the Elk Hunting chapter to flick through, finding your recent post success. It was refreshing, funny, and a good read. Congrats on a hot weather elk hunt! Especially DIY. Nicely done! Thank you for sharing, with pics too!

I have the tall height but sorry not interested in trading but, another cheaper option is just buy the long legs and either keep the regular legs or sell them. They are like $30 each. They just easily screw into the main body.

Yes you can build it into a pistol. The FFL should have listed it as a “frame” or “receiver” on the 4473

While you're figuring out the hunting, enjoy the fishing. It's awesome.

Sold.

Man, Mike was awesome! I went to high school with him, but he was one year ahead of me. I knew who he was, but it was a really big school and we were in different friend groups. When I found this site I spent hours and hours reading stories and looking throught the picture galleries. That's when I found out Mike was a serious coues hunter. He came by and scored a big deer my dad had killed, and also brought some antlers to show us. Not long before he passed we talked about doing some spot and stalk archery hunting down south in some areas I knew pretty well. It never happened. There are a LOT of members here that stopped posting years ago. There are also a lot that very rarely post. Some of these guys are the best of the best when it comes to successfully harvesting coues. It is humbling to see how good they are at it.

Oh no, I'm only rich in children. This is all old stuff getting torn down.

As an American, another option I have is to criticize this joke of a Government all I want thank you.

Junk in my experience with them. I wish they still sold cheap ammo and free shipping though. I miss those days.

I cleaned up my inbox. You would be surprised how many people want my opinion on bison, 4b antelope, and otc elk.

Here in the US we have the ATF to shoot our dogs for us.

Just wanted to update everyone. Everything went well. I did a layer of about 24 frozen water bottles, stacked all the meat in, then topped it off with about 30 ice water bottles. 4 days later (or roughly 3 days and 15 hours) everything was ice cold minus one package of hamburger that was getting a bit soft, and a package of steaks that were getting a bit soft as well. Not sure if I didn't pack the bottles as tight on that side or what, as they both were on the same side, but nothing else around them had that issue. Regardless they were still cold and nothing to worry about, but was interesting. Thanks again to everyone who replied and gave me advice. Obviously if not inside a car dry ice is the way to go, but the frozen water bottles indeed do the trick if you have the space for them in a cooler and are limited to interior storage in your vehicle.
