I leave all my stuff in my pack. Knives, lights, tripods, radios, rope, batteries, hearing protection. I have my cot, bed roll, sleeping bag, and liner in a large ruffle bag. All my stuff is always packed and always in the same spot. I might end up haulin a lil extra in my pack but its always there, everytime. Get a cooler and some food and a case of water. I take all my huning clothes to and from the field in he same bag. They go from the washing mahine back in the bag. It works well for me, i hate forgetting things. My only checklist is gun, ammo, and tag. I i forget something i learn the hard way, and remember.

I tried to get a lope in there saturday, but wasn't my lope. Congrats jeremy! Its started.

Bought a brand new pair of them at Sports Authority last week. They must have had some leftovers. Are they the Pulse II mid's? Ive tried Merrel's Radius, Reflex, Outlander, Radland, Kinetic, every kinda Danner I could find and a Lowa Zepher. Best fit I have now is the Zephyrs then the Merrel Radland. The Pulse II's didnt last much more that 1 year, but they sure were a good fit for me.' Ryan

I knew what video it was before i clicked on it, perfect doug! Back on topic i bought a panasonic 30x zoom or so a few years back. Its good for shots up to 500 or so. I videod a lope getting smoke poled last weekend from about 3/4 of a mile off. You can see it, but heat waves killed it. I would love to have a 60x optical zoom. I need something small or id never haul it. Im not filmin for shows, just friends and family.

Good luck guys, ill have to wait for pictures. No one in my group got an early bull tag.

seems like the 110 radio works better than 120 and 130s that I have, from what I've seen. My buddy has a pair of the high end 530HCX or what ever they are. They work great, They are awfully big and heavy though. Even for a techy guy like me, I think they do too much. Im not gonna drop that kind of cash on a radio, but I will use his . I do like the electronic compass feature of the 130s. Seems like in most places now we can get a little bit of cell service when our radios are too far to work well.

Can't believe I missed this thread. I buy flank steak marinated from Jacob's Carneceria in East Mesa. Let it sit in the marinade for a couple days in the ice chest. Some raw tortillas cook up as fast as carne asada, A little cheese and tapitio is all you need on em. Jacob's is far better tasting and cheaper than any carne asada marinade I ever tried to make or buy. Ive tried countless things, none of it is as good as jacobs. The worst part of it is that we can never tell what is better; his chicken or beef, so we have to get both. It also makes the best steak and eggs for the next few mornings. Another fave doesnt have a name. We just got what we had together to make a side dish to go with our ribeyes one night some years back. This was gone, and ribeyes were left. 1lb chub deer or elk ground 1 sweet onion 1 can bush's baked beans 3-5 potatoes 1 can cream corn (optional add 1 can whole kernal) 1 can pork n beans Brown meat while slicing and adding taters and onions. Add all canned stuff, including all the liquid. It makes kind of a sweet chilli from the bush's baked beans flavor. We make it in a dutch oven. Its real easy and really tasty. When I cook it at home I add some garlic and diced jalepenos and some green chilles. Its hard to mess up.

Looks like I got lucky picking the 87

Thanks Doug! Im sure this will come in handy some day.

How long is the pontoon?

I wanna seem. But iff you dont post can you mail them to me.

The only cam i've had stolen was the furtherst i've ever put out. Minimum of 2 hours round trip hike. It was out for 7 months or so on a solar rig. I've for cams as close as 100 yds to 2 trackers.

I just bouht a cs24 that i really like, may not be what you are looking for though. I was set on a scorpion started shopping around. Might wanna wait for hyperwrx's opinion, he is very helpfull with e callers, you could send him a pm.

For the money i've liked cabelas alaskan guide, and nikon monarchs, lotsa good things said about doug at camerlandny's deal on vortex 6-20 viper. I know 2 guys who bought one. Only one looked through his he likes it. I may buy one even though i don't have anything to put it on. If you are gonna buy a new one, moe sure you wont be buyin another one in another year. That may take using our current rig unill you save up for what you want. When i was 19 i saved my pennies untill i could afford a swaro, glad i did. The last 5 years it has taken many animals.

I think i've seen that rig pre cw sticker

I its a 700 or 70, see if you can do it. Mesa smiths are kodiak precision, accuracy speaks, and i think its called mesa gun near dobson. Or call timney trigger here in the valley.

If you like the euro option might try this. http://masterofskulls.com/ Not sure it would look right for a coues, but I want to try some of his stuff for elk and muleys.

Thanks for the info Oak, nice pic btw.

I can deal with any o the top glass. Swaro leica zeiss or kaibabs, even zenrays. My eberle stock gunslinger is indespensible, so is my havalon knife, in bright orange so i don't loose any more. Good comfortable boots are a must. I got a new pair of lowas i really like. 700rc2 head or outdoorsman pan head. A good compact digital camera and my rino gps. There are a lot o good tripod legs out there. A good jacket, i likes cabels wind stopper wool, and my under armour fleece beenie.

One thing that gets me is that wardens hassle processors and taxis about having proof of legal take where the responsibility should fall on he hunter. I know it is a money thing for azgfd but he only talk of a warden was him visiting the processors. Every sytem has its flaws if mandatory check in are required costs would be passed on to the hunters.

Still isn't madatory, except archey hunts, and thats not a physical check either. Some of us would like to see madatory reporting just to know management decisions are being made with more accurate data. THeres been quite a few posts about why, why not, ect.

I believe the ones in the photo are Greater Short-Horned lizards while the one in my old im not too sure about. He was in 36A a few years ago. Anybody know more about the genus Phrynosoma specific to AZ?

I wish you luck Jeremy! I'm sure Ill find my way in there one of these days. I think its a great deal with Wild Heritage you have worked out. Hopefully both of you guys will be able to benefit from it.

Mike Hayes lives in the east valley, pretty handy for me, he neighbors of my parents. He is the one who started Casey's processing in Flag (casey's dad). If your in Flag, Casey's is good. I'd definately give Jeremy a go in Payson if its handy.

I used to be a puncher. I stopped aiming and focused on the squeeze. (same as kaffer) I shot like 15/20 yeards only for a while. Once I fixed my habit, I started aiming again, and "float my pin over the target. If i havent shot in a while my punching comes back. As soon as I notice it, I can easily fix it now.
