I am going to try to hunt quail this season but don't have a hunting dog. What are my chances? I've heard of quail calls to calm them down when approaching them, but do they work and which ones are best. I will be around the Whetstone and Huachuca mountain areas. Thanks.

I've only used iStrelok. It has worked well for me.

Awesome story and you definitely have a keeper in your wife. Amazing pictures and kudos to your wife.

My best advice is to go to the PSE Factory in Tucson and have them set you up. Some times you can find great deals on last years models. That is what I did and saved $200-$300 but I caught it at just the right time.

MeatEater Volume 9 Ep1 SKY ISLAND SOLITAIRE: BACKPACK HUNTING COUES DEER IN ARIZONA
desertotter posted a topic in The Campfire
Opened my email this morning and saw an email from MeatEater, the tv show with Steve Rinella. Basically the email said the new season started tonight and thank you for being apart of the mailing list. Reading a little further down, they sent a link for a free episode. Follow the link and type in the code MEATEATERMAIL and you can watch it. You don't have to fill in any credit card info just go to the "use code" tab under Postal Code. https://meateater.vhx.tv/buy/volume-9-ep-1-sky-island-solitaire-backpack-hunting-coues-deer-in-arizona I thought it was a very good episode. -
I stumbled upon these fishing shirts and decided why not since they were cheaper than others. Great designs, fast shipping. Can't have too many fishing shirts, right? Here are the specs and website to check them out. http://www.wickedcatchgear.com/#_l_gh Sun Protection : 50 UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) Moisture Wicking Antimicrobial Lightweight So, I recieved the shirt in the mail on a Friday at 4:30 PM, I made up some excuse to the girlfriend so I could wait for the mailman to take them with us fishing for the weekend. Saturday morning we get up at 6 AM and didn't come back to the dock until it was dark. All I can say is that this is the best shirt I have used fishing, no sunburns or any redness and had a small tan. I can say enough about these shirts. I have a couple of other shirts and my favorite used to be the Columbia shirts because of the breathability, but this blow them out of the water. As soon as I got home, I ordered 3 more. Check these shirts out if you are out on the lake all day and don't want to put on the oily sunscreen, you won't be disappointed. http://www.wickedcatchgear.com/#_l_gh

I like the look of a collar on my Columbia shirts, but never saw a benefit because I always wear a buff. Light material with SPF/UPF. It seems to wick away moisture as well, and when my face gets hot I cover my face like a bandana. It's saved me countless times on the water.

Forgot to mention that if anyone wants free shipping on these to PM me.

Haha. That is why the good Lord gave us cargo shorts, boats, and fishing lanyards.

Reloading- Accurate Powders 4350 in .243??
desertotter posted a topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Only powder available last time I was able to pick some up and having some trouble finding data for Accurate Powders 4350. Everything is H4350 or IMR-4350 but hardly finding anything AA-4350. Using it to reload .243 with 80gr Hornady GMX. Any help is much appreciated. -

Sherman, I really appreciate your fast response. Thank you very much -
This is getting bad. I was recently a high school football coach and when I complained to the administration that the football team wasn't even allowed to hear the National Anthem, I was told I was in the wrong. I was suppose to change my schedule before a game, not the other way around. I held my team out of the locker room before a game for 20 minutes just so they could be apart of the National Anthem. The next week, I asked the principal what time the National Anthem was going to be played and he said 5 minutes before game time. We ran onto the field 8 minutes before the game only to find out the National Anthem was already played. So much for trying to respect our country and trying to teach our young adults about doing the right thing. What is this world coming to?

Anyone try a Gopro mounted on a rifle?
desertotter replied to Couestracker's topic in Photography of Coues Deer and Other Wildlife
Try researching the 'ATN ShotTrak'. It has a good picture, small, and mounts to picatinny rails. Has a 5x zoom so it doesn't washout the image like the fisheye lens on the GoPro. I've only used it dove hunting and archery practice but it seems to do the job for me. Goes for about $120. http://www.opticsplanet.com/atn-shot-trak-hd-action-gun-camera.html
