If .218 Bee does not need all the .22 Hornet, I'd love a couple boxes. Please put me in second place. Very generous of you to offer these during the holiday season! Bruce

I just saw the Black Friday ad from Dick's. They will have 325 round boxes of .22 LR at 2 boxes for $35 - so that's 650 rounds for $35. Guys that were advertising it on Backpage for $50/brick are now trying to move it for $40 and under. With the election of Trump, hopefully the artificial shortage will end and regular retail prices (like $24/brick at Walmart) are close at hand. I expect some of the hoarders that were jacking up the prices put mayonnaise on it and eat it so kids can shoot again at will.

Great clarification Jim. Thank you.

JustinB, thank you for your reply, but I'm glad I don't rely on you to do my homework. I hate to fail! As Jim asks " When did bows become considered firearms?" Page 112 of the 2016-2017 Arizona Hunting Regulations has definitions. It has the following “Firearm” means any loaded or unloaded handgun, pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun, or other weapon that will discharge, is designed to discharge, or may readily be converted to discharge a projectile by the action of an explosion caused by the burning of smokeless powder, black powder, or black powder substitute." Perhaps your bow is designed to discharge a projectile via an explosion of powder. Most are not! Perhaps you can find the statute or regulation that prohibits hunting (as opposed to discharge of a firearm) outside city limits within ANY distance of an occupied structure. I can not. https://www.azgfd.com/PortalImages/files/regs/mainregs.pdf

No, not the same herd.

"100% illegal... I know those that have been ticketed. Same situation woke up saw elk in the yard, shot, killed, and then the neighbor woke up none to pleased. Called G and F. Came out ticketed and seized. This is a law statewide. Has nothing to do with city limits. This was just out Highway 180" That is not my understanding. Nor is it the understanding of the people at the Flagstaff G&F office. I called Flagstaff G&F office today for clarification and they said the restriction only applied inside the city limits, not in the County where I live. The applicable Rule is cited above It makes no sense for G&F to print in the Regs a mention specifically to city limits (footnote 34) if the rule is in effect for all areas.. If you know it to be "law statewide" it would be very helpful if you would cite the statute. The complete Arizona Revised Statutes can be found here http://www.azleg.state.az.us/arizonarevisedstatutes.asp. The statute will be on the ticket your source received. I will gladly stand corrected when the applicable statute is cited.

Herd haning around in the subdivision all day. Raghorn bull on the right of picture, but not really heavy rutting now. Another spike and about 20 cows and calves.

Nice thought. You might need to get an FFL in the picture if you are not an Arizona resident. Looks like your company is quite fond of the .300 WSM

Just read this topic and was thinking that many do not understand how the "bonus" round works. Please see Stickflickers post a few above. He has it right. They give out 20% of the tags in the bonus round. They do not all have to go to those with the maximum possible points. To take a VERY extreme example. If EVERYONE with 27 point and 26 points and all the way down to 3 points put in for only unit 22 and there were 2 tags in 22, the other part of the 20% in the bonus round would go to people with 2 points. I know that's absurd, but it is just to illustrate the point. I fully expect that this year or next, somebody with 1 less than the max possible will get a tag. To look at in a slightly different way, but to illustrate the point, take elk tags. Unlike sheep there is a "bonus" round for each hunt. For the rut rifle hunts it takes about 19-20 points to get drawn in the bonus round. For a cow tag it takes only about 5. Even tho sheep is on a genus basis, it is a bit similar in that those who insist on putting in for 22 with "max" points will still be waiting while folks with a point less will be getting draw for the Cabeza in the bonus round.

Congratulations!!!! Last year I finally drew on my 51st try. What a thrill. Savor it for all its worth and have a ball.

Someone suggested Gunbroker. That is a great idea. I am in Flagstaff but have people up here that do it for $15. I found them thru Gunbroker. They have a search function. Just put in your zip code and you will get lots to chose from. Surely someone close to you will do it for less than some of the prices in this thread. http://www.gunbroker.com/FFL/DealerNetwork.aspx

Weatherby Vanguard .270 Winchester with Weaver bases. Very nice shape with a few very minor scratches in the bluing on the barrel. Shoots MOA with factory ammunition - see factory test target. With all paperwork from new. Don't know exact round count but less than 200. I'm currently in NE Phx.

Nice gun I've had for years and seldom shot. Now has cheap Simmons scope but in high Ruger rings. Tang safety. I'm in NE Phx.

Bump

TTT

Ruger M77 in 7mm Remington Mag. Earlier gun with tang safety. Ruger rings. Nice shape with a few dings from hunting trips. Took it in trade. The guy said it had less than 100 rounds fired. I'm currently in NE Phx.

Sorry, NE Phx.

Pretty nice factory stock for Remington 700BDL short action. Original factory finish with a few dings from hunting. Checkering nice and sharp still. I'm currently in NE Phx.

Hi Amanda, I just wondered if you might change the web page motif now that Christmas is long passed? Bruce

Thank you rossislider! I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. You change it yourself at the bottom of the page. select "Change Theme". Page.png

Waaayyy last summer I bought and paid for the the little .22 from Elkaholic1. As he was in Tucson and I was in Flagstaff, it took all this time for me to pick up the little rifle. Thanks so much! Great guy!
