downthebarrel17.....MAN I HOPE SOMEONE HERE CAN HELP YOU OUT!!!! SERIOUSLY! Just because you were living with your parents (at age 17) doesn't mean you don't deserve an elk hunt.....drivers license or not! What I said about loosing a license to drunk driving may have come across as harsh (it was) but I'm glad the assumption isn't TRUE. I feel sympathy for you whether your asking for it or not! You have a 23 elk tag. I don't think it would take you a week to kill an elk. If you could find someone to go up for just a day you'd probably get one and be able to come back and work! I hope it all works out man!!! I have some friends up in Payson who might be able to help you. It sounds like you know a few people here on the boards, I hope someone will come through.

out2hunt, I'm not trying to be negative.....re-read my post. If he didn't loose his license from drinking and driving....well I hope someone can help him....he deserves to be able to hunt. On the other hand if he did loose his license from drinking and driving.....well then I could care less if he gets to hunt.....these are just cold hard facts. HAVE YOU HAD A FAMILY MEMBER KILLED BY A DRUNK DRIVER? IF NOT YOU OUGHTA THINK ABOUT HOW YOU WOULD FEEL THAT SOMEONE INNOCENT DIED FROM SOME DUMB A$$. I'm not being negative! Jamaro....the VW Rabbit actually cost $5K.....it's only got 53K on it. What a classic....get's 45MPG!

This is probably a good thing depending on your age.....you seem seasoned....so....it's a good thing Again, depending on your age, some people don't have vehicles or licenses.....don't worry about keeping up with the Jone's. Lots of us can't afford to keep up with the Jones.....I drive a 1978 VW Rabbit. Now if you don't have license because you've been drinking and driving or something along those lines.....GOOD! YOU SHOULDN'T BE ON THE ROAD. If you don't have a license because you drank and drove......well GOOD AND YOU DON'T DESERVE TO HUNT AS A PENALTY FOR YOUR STUPIDITY. Now the whole second half of my reply might come across as harsh but I have ZERO TOLERANCE for people drink and drive NO DRUNK DESERVES TO RUIN SOMEONE ELSES LIFE AND FUTURE!!!! If on the first half applies.....I hope someone here on the boards can help you out.....I would, but the last remaining week and a half of vaction I have left will be spent for my deer hunt and with my family over Christmas. Best of luck to you

I have a Slik 700DX tripod that I bought from Sportsmans Warehouse last season. And as many of you know I need some cash......so I'm gonna sell it. I think I payed $99.00....if your interested make me an offer. Highest offer gets it. thanks

Here are some pics from the last week.....nothing great. Cool pics but kind of discouraging. At any rate enjoy

I have a bunch of CCI large magnum primers......what are your opinions and recommendations as to the quality and performance of these vs. the Federal 215's?

SOLD TO COUES4X4

Thanks for the input guys. Someday I'll be able to get some more stuff.....I'm going Canon all the way!

For those of you that digiscope on a regular basis.....I saw a video on neverenoughbiggame.com and it got me thinking. What cameras allow attachments but is something that you wouldn't mind having in your hunting pack? I have a Sony P41 and saw 3 bears 2 weeks ago while scouting for deer and took about 25 shots and not one of them turned out.....they were all fuzy. I think I was snapping them without allowing the camera to focus......regardless, what is a good camera that would allow you to use the Swarovski DCA (digital camera adapter)? Thanks

Mike, I didn't know dogs were not allowed on the spring bear hunt....that's for settin' me straight!

AWESOME! You know at the same time we all say...."good another one gone and not eating our deer".....they are absolutely AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, SKILLED KILLING MACHINES. Congrats!!!

I have never done a spring archery only hunt, but have done a spring bear hunt. They are just coming out of hibernation (so to say....bears DO hibernate in AZ) and they are tuffer to find. I would assume calling would work. I was unsuccessful on my spring bear a few years ago. I bet dogs would be your best bet. Tree them then shoot um' with a stick. Ask TAM about going out with Josh Epperson. In my opinion he would be your best bet for having dogs run.

Anybody wanna give me $75 for it? If so it's yours

First person to give me $80 for it takes it. That's $20 off of orginal and it saw 1 week of action.

I mentioned that I saw 3 bears 2 weekends ago.....they were in the pears. What are the chances they will still be there 5 weeks later? I would think slim to none. There were pears there and that's why they were in the spot.....quite a few good oaks to. My impression of bears is that they just wonder around looking for food and a cool place to sleep. I've been trying for about 7 years now to get a bear on my own and when I saw these 3 guys I started thinkin' "THIS IS MY YEAR" Thanks

I'm in Tucson. I'll ship if you like. Not how much it would be. azhuntnut, $40 isn't even a half price offer.....sorry

does anyone know anything about the new law passed about feeding native species in AZ?

Desert Bull, I'm with you I sure hope they are still there. I've scouted and scouted and finally found a good spot. It seems like for the last 7 years that I've been trying things just didn't work in my favor......not enough scouting, not in the right area, not the right food source, didn't call long enough....etc. I hope this is my year for a bear and a monster coues. My 4 year old daughter told me last night: "Daddy, I sure hope we (love that part) get a bear this year" She's my little princess and wants a bear rug in her white and purple princess room! OH YEAH.....a little of dad rubbin' off on the princess!

Mike the tripod comes without a head......in my opinion the only way to buy quality tripods and quality heads is seperate. I've really slowed down on the cams......my life is just to busy. Once I get Mark (bowsnipers) last one done.....I'm calling it quits other than for my own personal stuff. scott

Here's a pic:

Well with that statement made.....my Pentax sure has heck ain't gonna fit. Thanks

Which goevids does he have? I have some 12x50 Pentax that I'll be using now that I sold my Swaro's and that little baggy holder on the front looks awful small......I hope to get another pair of Swaro's some day and don't want to have to buy another setup Any input or knowledge of someone using them with at least the 10x50 SLC's or larger would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone used these with larger binoculars? I just talked to Mad Dog who makes a similar one and they said theirs were designed for 10x42 or smaller? Thanks

A friend of mine has a Swarovski STS-80 Spotting Scope and is looking for a cover.....what would you recommend? What do you use? Would your recommend it? What features do you like/dislike? Thanks

HAS ANYONE TRIED THE CREEDMOOR COVER? IT LOOKS PRETTY TUFF
