Tell me. Dont play tiddley winks with my heart.

Might catch a kick to the balls

More pics please

I think it's because you can kill 200" mulies in other units then stage photographs under high tension wires and no ones the wiser?

There's a whole lotta 4 legs good two legs bad going on in this thread.

Would you consider a small piece of private property that's in the middle of a large blm tract of land that is only archery to be fair game to discharge a firearm on? Within the boundaries is the old abondon train tracks with a section that is about 275' wide and about 800 yards long. (this area is not the tracks themselves). I want to do some predator hunting there and I know there is at least one lion, bobcats and several yotes. The private property is not posted and people are able to hunt on it, its at least 3/4 of a mile away from any residential property line, further to the actual houses. I would be set up in such a way to keep my trajectory within the private property. Yes I realize i'm pushing it but if technically legal Id take my chances. I would obviously be discreet about and would follow gun safety rules and also be using a can on my rifle.

I'm a pretty big deal around here.

You guys are idiots, a man makes his own rut happen. I just mix a couple bottles of viagra in with my bait pile and pour out about a quart of hot doe urine all over the place and BAM! Instant rut! You dont even have to hike in, I do it next to the truck and shoot from the window.

Yeah, give it some time and see how it shakes out. I'd like to see if Rinella makes a statement about it.

I would be hunting with a silencer

I don't think the ruts over, think you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Get back out there.

I want to hunt in the little strip that runs east to west. I don't want to cheat and kill deer in there with a rifle, I basically want to kill the lion that's killing the deer and I don't have enough balls to do it with my bow. North of it is a large residential area also surrounded by the archery only zone, I'd be real surprised if none of those people target shoot on their property.

Blm website, which I think is down right now. There are also signs posted.

It's not in game and fish regs. Bigorange, yes it is BLM land that is regulated by BLM not Azgf. I suppose the BLM officials would be the ones to ask after the government shut down ends..

The private property is nothing. The area around it is archery only BLM

Adam is correct. The private property is surrounded by BLM which is archery only hunting allowed. I'm wanting to hunt on the private strip.

My buddy has a friend with a shop. R and W Fab 520-235-6242 dudes name is Robert

Don't know the unit, however I would start with glassing from the roads first. Then if your not happy with what youre seeing consider hiking in. Glass open areas and sunny slopes first and as it warms start glassing the shade. Wait for your target to bed down and then go for it.

Congrats dude!

Yes I still have 2 youngin coming up behind the others.

Congrats on your buck. I love those tall tight framed bucks!

I'd keep it but the other kids rifles shoot tighter groups with a little more punch. Haven't had time to try a bunch of different types of ammo, mostly because I'm always short on time. Not opposed to keeping it just wondering how much it would cost and what all is involved to just switch calibers.

Very first thing is a decent rangefinder. Next, I think a good sight is money well spent. I like the IQ sights because they help you stay consistent with the retina lock. Here's a link to some sales at Sierra trading post. https://www.sierratradingpost.com/s~iq/ If you go with a slider I'd do a two or three pin slider where you have a 20 and 30 yard then use the slider for further distances. Next would be arrows and broadheads. Do a lot of broadheads research and you will find that slick trick and g5 Montec are the two most used. I recomend slick trick, I recently made the switch myself and am very happy with them. As far as arrows I also just switched to carbon express maxima. I like the small diameter for less wind drift.

$15 is better then then $100 I spent for the timney trigger for my son's. Ours killed two elk and a Coues.

That's probably the ones square mile of private property right there.
