Ill be back up there camping with the family, have you guys been getting hit with rain hopefully??

6.5 creedmoor should have better recoil than the 25.06, but the 25 will knock down an elk no probs especially from 75 yds away

Also I had plan b already set up and bought a antelope tag in New Mexico

Time to buy a bow!!! You can head north in september and around phx or down south with your bow in December/ January. That's how I got into bow hunting I didn't want to not hunt! Found out I have just is much fun hunting with a bow and you can pick and choose what unit and weekend for the most part

Now that is a dead head

You get what you want!!! Look, feel, style, paint, bolt, barrel length. Usually you should get 1/2 moa or better. But you can pick up a nice Remington and it can shoot .222 MOA with a sweet spot like my 300 win mag (but I can't get it to group with anything else Sub MoA, but my semi custom rifle will be sub moa on just about anything I try with it, but the load I settle for is about .435 MOA. Lots of Tikkas out of the box are 1/2 MOA.

What Lance said! If you only focus on the prize and shooting the big trophy is the prize then you are in the same since teaching children that only winning in a sport is the most important thing, then you sir are a pathetic shallow coach. Every pro sport player started off loving the game and were properly trained to be a team player and taught to give it your all! You can't go pro without out that foundation and have a long career in that sport!!

Sure you can!!! But if you ever get pulled over by game and fish and the AZ lic don't match up it might raise an eyebrow. I don't see a reason for the child to get an out of state lic

Oh just make sure they keep their Arizona lic and they will be fine

They are visiting the school, place of work, etc etc and their home address is in Arizona nough said!!! They come home for the holidays and when they are not working, schooling they are home during the summer (personal resident).

Man Im putting in for unit 42 for now on

When was your turn around time for that rifle?

14 hours!!!! Your crazy

Lots of people use Match on game, and some bullets do better for match. In this order that I have (read and watch on video only) 1st- Hornady Amax or ELD-m 2nd Bergers Hybrids ( ive heard of VLDs penciling through at long range but ironically not the Hybrids) 3- Sierra Match King- Some do very well and I ready some still killed but small cavity holes. I always shot Nosler accubonds and they did great. They mushroomed but they had a quarter (coin) size hole entrance and a quarter (coin) exit on 3 animals. I would like to see a 2-3" hole on the exit but never got it. None of them bleed at all but died right away. So mostly it really matters on shot placement and the bullet should do its job.

Bergers Hybrids do very well on game. Hornady Amax are the ELDs-Matchs with new heat tips to with stand the long range heat that would melt the older Amaxs tips. Lots of people used the Amax from coyotes and Elk!! They performed great!!! I never heard of anyone as of yet that an Amax pencil through probably because of the tip on it. I have 147s coming too. If they do better than my 143s Im switching!!!

NOOOOOOOO Don't do it!!!! I put in for 12AE NO tag for me

Looking good

Lots of success in this family!!!! Great job!!! Great write ups!!! Need some more stories to pass the time till hunting season

To each their own, and what makes it exciting to them! To say your way is better is silly!! Because everyone prefers something different which is okay! Bow hunting is fun because you get close to nature and less pressure on animals. Rifle hunting is fun because you take longer shots and probably have more opportunity to harvest an animal. But to say shooting long range takes all the fun out of it, truly whats the difference of shooting at 100 yards and 300 yards.? Farther than that it takes alot of practice and understanding how your rifle works and understanding wind and your drop. Ive been shooting all year and developing a perfect load for my rifle, to me that is part of hunting! No different than shooting your bow and becoming "ONE WITH THE BOW". I say if you enjoy what you do with hunting and its ethical and legal do it!!!

Hornady makes great rounds. I shoot the ELDx and would not hesitate to shoot the ELDm either (which are Amax's with a new tip) I've (only) read and watched results with Amax and ELD's perform well! Plus they have really good BC and expand better than other rounds at slower speeds, where I heard of other rounds just pencil through at slower speeds (not all but enough to make me concern). I haven't see as of yet anyone with bad results with a well place bullet with Amax's and ELDs

I wouldn't hesitate if I know I can make that shot with comfort!!! That round will do, but since you have options for 140s I would go with that!

one

Yeah lots of Genitals threats going on this won!!!!!

Bull Crap!!! Im wondering when I can ever get a bab hunt!!!!
