So my son is hoping to draw his first deer tag this year. He has seen a video where someone gets "scoped" and is fearfull of shooting a highpower rifle now. Darned internet!! Any tips? He shoots his scoped 22lr just fine.

no hunting allowed in granite dells. Nothing west of Robert road and north of 89a. There are some big ones in there though. Thanks to G&F giving into the prescott tree huggers you cannot hunt with a bow within a quarter mile of any occupied structure in northern 17b/19b. New regulations after someone shot a deer in front of some cidiot crybabys last year..

remembering all the brothers, sons, fathers and husbands. Great American heroes who are greatly missed.

Glad they are moving them away from all the hazardous waste that mine has stored in stockpiles and ponds.

14a

I kill the ones that get to close. Let the rest live.

Nice catch!!

Edge, god bless that we live in America and we can think and say what we wish. I take no offense to your opinion. But I stand by mine. shall we agree to disagree like gentlemen?

chicken food will not grow turkeys well. Its only about 12 percent protein. You have to buy special game bird/ meat bird food with 20% plus protein. Mine are young and yes they are starting to fly. Gonna clip their wings this weekend and see what happens. They will eat scraps.

yep people who make mistakes are all horrible people.Would you rather have sherrif joes vitaloaf? That's your kin, eh?You got to make a lot of big mistakes to wind up in prison. Story sounds like bunk anyway. You can give steroids in their food not in their leg.lol people who pay for their mistakes and come out a better person have my respect. I would quote the bible but everyone is so opinionated I will just leave well enough alone. You could be right about the leg shots either way just repeating a story as my original post stated.

Create a hybrid and your altering genetics. We've been doing it for thousands of years from mules to mangos. I have relative who went to prison and worked in the kitchen as a cook. They feed the inmates the left legs. They only sell right legs in the store in case you never noticed. Well anyways the left legs is were they inject the steroids. He said the box they come in says not for human consumption. They are all shriveled up and tough.

Broad breasted bronze and giant whites.

Holy palmation!! Looks like the rodents chewed on the one brown already?

haha thank you. I was about to throw my IPAD LOL!How old when you butcher?Friends of mine raise these geneticly altered chickens that are ready to butcher at 6 weeks. All they do is eat, can hardly walk but they are delicious. Turkeys don't start developing body fat until about 22 weeks. So about 5.5 months. They get big enough to butcher earlier but the fat is what gives them the good flavor and moist tender meat.

haha thank you. I was about to throw my IPAD LOL!

i developed asthma after I got pneumonia 2 years ago. I was unaware of it at first, thinking it was bronchitis. Just about died on a day hike about a month later. Inhalers are a must even though now I only use it occasionally. Its like drowning but your not in water. Make sure you are not allergic to benadryl like I am. Glad you pulled through Flatlander that is scary as heck!

It was even more amazing 20 years ago. Saw a big buck dead off outerloop two days ago..I am convinced I will accidentally hit one out there before i am lucky enough to draw a tag. Drove by the next day and the head was gone of course. Hoping it was not the big one I call Forky. He looks like a fork horn muledeer almost.

Beautiful! I love Arizona!!

Hoping for fat yummy deer/ elk this year. Lots of clean water and food.

hmm I was thinking of trying rabbits. Cant do pigs. I guess because i grew up with my parents doing nothing but chickens they are not my favorite.tried quail and that was a disaster.. I made alot of rookie mistakes with them and only ended up with 38 out of 105 surviving. Most of them flew into hard wire and injured themselves. Gotta use soft netting i discovered. The plus side with quail is they lay alot of eggs and if you incubate them it is pretty productive. Great to here ideas.

My brother was blessed with an archery coyote kill with his recurve bow on a coyote that was sneaking around our chicken pen. Goats are nice hardy animals to raise just keep them away from any flowers or bushes that your wife is fond of lol! It took years for my honeysuckles to grow back after our fist goat. Yes I refuse to buy anything from now on without acreage and a well. I cant even grow an affordable garden with the water prices here. Luckily the cattle auction is a few miles away and I will be buying my first beef full grown but after that I hope to have property to raise my own. I dont trust auction beef but I will keep it alive at my brothers property for a few moths before butcher to clean it out with good feed and water.

I honestly enjoy that you are willing to take the time to provide education about hunting for free when some guides will only give you the time of day if there is money involved. Thank you!

Not to get off subject but if the animals are not afraid of the smoke and fire much why is everybody worried about campfire scent getting on their hunting clothes? Seems to me it would be the best cover scent in the world judging by the comment about deer being in the smolder..

I am thinking about looping the audio of the deer crys to an mp3 player and using it to call predators.
