  1. if your on the west side of phoenix I would hunt the west side from i-8 all the way up kingman along grand ave lots of really nice bucks in there. unit 21 22 23 are like a community bar looking for the one fat chick.
  2. This didnt give hunters bad publicity it gave guides and guide services bad publicity if anything. Delw
  3. Those savages are unbelievably accurate. I have one of the 1st production runs of the 243 striker. tons of p-dogs with it out to 300 yards, yotes are kinda tough but I did manage to get one. also nailed a unit 12b mulie at 30 yards, through a javilina over the cliff by hitting a rock and launching it into the side of it, a texas dall ram around 100 yards with it back in the early 2000's , then put it away and havent shot it yet since. I run the old GTD( Glass Tapered dot) tasco pistol scopes on it. I have them in 2 4 and 6 power. I generally run a 2x. I have found it better for all around hunting unless long range stuff then I use the 6x. but using a 6x at under 100 yards is tough on a psitol. I like that bipod idea I may have to try that, i usually use a tree, rock with a jacket or the side of my leg as a rest you used to be able to find the Tasco GPDs on ebay and at gun shows as they discontinued them in early 2000's. they are probably the most easy to and clearest pistol scopes I have ever used, easy meaning they get on target quick and are super clear and bright. they hold up to 45-70 recoil all day long on my old contenders. never had one go bad. I have a few 4x leupolds and one burris I dont like them due to clarity. one of my leupold broke a reticle on a 30-30 super 14 I was into the old contender scene until they started making the savages.

    20 Ga Load Question

    Have him shoot 6's for about 200-500 rounds, it should loosen up take him skeet trap or sporting clays shooting with it, if it doesnt then you could have someone work it, deburr and polish it. usually its a spring change but sometimes just wearing/burnishing in all the parts so they slide nice, I like 7-1/2s for quail as well and I mostly shoot 20's been doing so since 1969 have a few 1100's I do have one crap semi auto that only likes fast loads but I bet I dont have 100 rounds through it in 30 years. my dads old browning auto 5 12 guage was like that had to shoot heavy loads then about 1-2 years later he shot light loads out of it. but we shot tons of skeet and trap

    Cordless Drill Question

    Jamie Gave her that nickname 20 years ago after she chewed his butt about something and it stuck. everyone calls her The warden even her mom who was a real Warden I guess it could be worse 35 years a few weeks ago unlike most people I know that are on the 2nd 3'rd 4th 5th wife in 20 years We can do anything we want any time and dont have to ask one another. all that crap stopped the day we had kids 27 years ago Delw

    Opportunity

    I think its both, a Trophy is in the eye of the beholder. you can usually tell a trophy by the pictures that people post, its not how big the animal is its how big there smile it. Iv'e seen tons of older guys with trophy smiles on spikes 2 points 3 points etc I can hunt everyday of the year in this state. lion yotes, archery deer has 3 seasons bear is over the counter. except for yotes who wants to hunt in june and july in the heat? exactly

    Got a grandpa Christmas eve

    It does? There is a ranch with a house and a barn I would say 3 miles away other than that I would say 20 miles from any other houses. That I know of. He has 2 broke off his right and all 4 broke off his left. Thanks for looking and the comments guys. Heading bk up tonight to try to get wife one. Can't wait to be in the woods. Dang work. I thought he was a 3x3 my bad, that back fork on his right and the front fork look close to the same angle wise thats why I was just thinking. Good luck

    Or he is full of bologna ... I betting on the second. Flat lander I have no reason to BS anyone so you'll have to take my word for it, unless you can find a guy around camp verde/ cottonwood area whos 1st name is Stan, your a hunter you should know who the guy is. he was out with me that day video taping it.. we both thought it was around 325 then he plugged the video Camera in at camp and watched it, he told me it close to 350. My goals were to beat a buddy of mine in Montana with a 375 or better, and Like I said in the pass I dont like elk killing(with a rifle) only the hunting part. it would have been for the wall only as I also dont like elk meat.

    Hey browtine was this buck with in a few miles of some houses? I think I have a pic a buddy of mine took of him in velvet earlier this year, he'd been chasing him hard but never got close enough to get a shot. yours kinda looks like the one on the lower right

    Oh yeah there was one unit 8 early rifle bull tag I got the same time as my last lope tag, which were the same dates but in different units unit 8 elk unit 9 lopes, I hunted a few hours in the am then drove to unit 9 everyday for the kids lope tag. had a few shots but nothing over 370 so I passed one was pushing close to 350 he was just a few feet away that a friend called in. I should have shot him but didnt.

    Have you killed anything yet? other than yotes and fox's I havent pulled the trigger on a big game animal in15 years, as I been giving them to my kids, I had my fun. but this is the last year I can pass them along so after that the killing starts if I get drawn 2 12b tags 1 lope tag and 2 bull elk tags. and during archery deer I dont generally carry a bow just help them. but thats may change cause I am trying to go out in the next few days and the daughter is working.

    pass it on for sure! Anyone can be in the kitchen! Smart a$$, bad cook, good cook, a$$ hole. We all know how to cook! But if you can pass an elk tag to your kids.... no brainer! Kids are hunting! Thats not entirely true while there are some "men" that should be in the kitchen a womens place is primarily in the kitchen She drew the 1st unit 8 tag, I drew the next 2 and gave them to her. so she had 3 chances in 3 years at a heck of alot of good bulls in range. the 1st 2 years she didnt shoot because she didnt like the shot(good call on her part) this year she missed twice cause they were too close and bigger than she thought and in her defense her bow was off a foot at 30 yards. Anyway a close friend of mine(on this board) told her that if she didnt tag one out this year she needs to stay in the kitchen where she belonged LMAO Besides I dont like elk hunting Ive killed enough of them in washington state, I like calling them in for other people for sure especially for kids.

    Can someone figure out the odds for me, unit 8 archery bull elk 0 points, Just trying to figure out if I will get it 4 years in a row so I can pass it on to my kids again this year or if I should keep it for myself and make her stay in the kitchen

    It has too do with the " child online privacy act" you usually see is on all the forums and other online crap as well. I believe it federal law Kids under 16 shouldn't be allow access to the internet anyway

    Nothing is Sacred anymore

    One I 1st click on the thread to read this , I instantly thought of this movie and scene I have no idea why. other than its funnier than crap. one of the sadist days of my life is when the kids figured out there was no Santa Clause. But on the bright side one believed in the tooth fairy for another 3 years after that. cause I used to sprinkle(car paint hi-light powder) fairy dust n her room LMAO
