    Turners Outdoorsman

    If you all want to gather around the radio (or care), here’s some of the rest of the story… way back before sportsman’s warehouse and bps and cabelas and Scheels was a small chain of stores called The Sportsman. Location on Stapley and Southern, 7th and Camelback and a Glendale location owned by a local couple. They got a divorce as I recall and sold the business to Glenn and Shirley Links owner of Turners Outdoorsman’s and S&G distributing. They changed the name to Arizona Sportsman and opened a store on cave creek then bought the 2 Jensens stores in Tucson and then Shooters World in phx. Somewhere along that journey Glenn and Shirley got divorced and essentially he got the Az locations and she kept the Ca locations. Turners was a big deal back in the day - lots of promotions; outdoor shows etc. Obviously Az Sportsman went by the way of the dodo, 2nd amendment bought the Tucson locations as I believe, the Mesa and Cave Creek store closed and I think the light rail bought out the 7th and camelback location. Not sure whatever became of shooters world.

    AZ G&F Ram Scoring

    Can I ask how you determined the correct age of a bear they missed? I’m seriously asking because only way I know is slicing the tooth and counting rings - did you take a tooth and do a different study or are you saying the biologist said one age and the tooth report shared a difference of 3 years? thanks.
  3. Don’t forget the youth and Dec hunts. More like 25-2700. That game manager only manages that unit to kill every 2pt every year.
  4. 2700 tags for 10 straight years and 2 of the last 3 with bad fawn crops I would say has as much to do with it as anything.

    Ltb crickett

    Yup. Over sized controls (for a micro) and feed ramp, real safe, real trigger and cock with bolt. Plus they shoot lights out. Easy to add scope and lots of options for stock, color etc. By far best micro out there.

    Check out the Rascal if want - has some definite advantages

    Older ammo - Lowered prices

    Bump. Male offer
  10. 1) Beretta S55 20ga O/U (Fixed choke F/M). Bluing and Wood is in great shape (90+%). 28” extractors - $650 2) Weatherby Regency Field Grade 20g O/U. Bluing is in 90%, Wood has a few small dings but beautiful wood (I would say Grade 3 or higher from Weatherby). Italian made (I think Zoli made them for Weatherby back then?). Now for the Story - I bought this as part of a police auction and some miscreate had cut through the rib, top barrel and just in the bottom barrel (not sure why he stopped there - maybe the door busted in about then). I had a smith weld the barrels and rib and then thread the barrels. Originally is was skt/skt, now comes with Beretta tubes (I have a full set of 3). I have shot several limits of dove through this gun and seems to pattern like anything else I own -the welds have not impacted it's performance.26” ejectors - $650 Gilbert Call/Text with questions Josh 480-36nine-492three

    Opening Morning Buck 2025

    Way to take the time and get closer vs “slinging lead” hoping for a non wound.

    2025 quail

    Thanks for sharing! Insane. I have heard from a few of the biologists over the years say they don't listen to them anyway.

    2025 quail

    I hope people give them a break. Shoot a few, leave many. Those evening hunters shooting young birds off their roost is bad for business. I saw that note from G&F, why would they not lower the limit? Their message is - Bad year, don't shoot them all, but we aren't going to lower the limit - confuses me.

    Elk jerky

    I use the same stuff I make summer sausage out of. Dehydrates great out of the jerky shooter and tastes great. Just one of the different sausage mixes from the sausage company. They all seem to taste great.
