    Finding Ammo

    I've got notifications set-up at midwayusa.com and bulkammo.com so if any specific ammo that is out of stock comes in, I'll get an e-mail alert. That, plus one of my son's best friend works the gun counter at Bass Pro, so there's that 'alert', too....

    Fawn crop

    On two different scouting trips down in the 36s over the past couple of weeks, I don’t think I saw a single set of twins. Plenty of doe-fawn combos, but no twins. Regarding the big summer rains, similar to the Gambles, I suspect it was too late to make an impact on the fine crop. S.

    Quail Opener

    Was tough for us as well. Went to our usual spots and the birds were very scarce (A few coveys, but VERY small groups....). Total about-face from last year's boomer season, and a stark reminder how dependent the Gambels are on the winter/spring rain. Based on the dry winter/spring, I figured it would be average-to-below, but was hopeful there would be enough carry over birds from last year making babies. Nope. Nice to see the desert tanks with water from the monsoon, but summer rain doesn't really help the Gambels. Possibly mearns will be good?? I think they are more 'summer rain' hatchers....

    Best Daypack Opinions

    My oldest son and I both have the older model Eberlestock X1A3, and we both like them quite a lot. My younger son bought an Eberlestock Gunrunner last year, and he seems to like it. The X1A3 is 1500 c.i., but the Gunrunner is a bit smaller, coming-in at only 1000 c.i. FYI..... https://eberlestock.com/collections/daypacks/products/x1a3-pack https://eberlestock.com/collections/daypacks/products/gunrunner-pack

    SIGHTRON Scope!!

    Every once in a while some company or manufacturer will surprise me with amazing service/support (Swarovski blew me away with outstanding service once.). I've never heard of Sightron scopes, but might check them out for the M77 I just bought. Very awesome, Ernesto!!

    Sight in service at Ben Avery

    I consider myself a life-long beginner. VERY slow learner, here...

    Sight in service at Ben Avery

    Cool way to earn a little money for your club. Being an 'average hack' shooter, I've on occasion taken advantage of the sight-in service the range masters will sometimes provide (if they have time). Not so much to zero-in, but to maybe get the rounds on paper if I have a newly mounted scope or something.

    Scammers??

    Unfortunately, it's just not always that easy. The 'out of the box' standard web hosting configuration can be restrictive on modifications. Like I said prior though, I'll see if Amanda wants to look into it. S.

    Scammers??

    Possibly a good suggestion, except not certain the web-hosting software has that function available as an option. Though I'm not sure what the 'right' post count would be to allow to sell in classifieds. Amanda would need to answer that. (I'll text her to ask....) Many scammers have resorted to simply sending direct messages to potential victims, so there's that..... I'll check it out, but at the end of the day the best defense is STRONG scrutiny by members here. Buyer beware!!!

    Scammers??

    Latest scammer account is gone. Keep the reports coming, and the admins will work as fast as possible to delete/ban. S.

    Legal definition of a buck

    Yup R12-4-101 = “Buck pronghorn” means a male pronghorn."

  16. Thanks for the heads-up, Dan! I've had my eye on the general AZ quail opener, and completely forgot about the rez! Just might have to take a day-trip this weekend!! S.

    Midway Ammo Availability

    Likely many of you are on the same mail list that I am, but heads-up none the less. Midway has 5.56 available. $650 for 1200 rounds, so price is down slightly from several months ago ($.54 per round. $.58 after shipping). FYI for the AR guys.

    Midway Ammo Availability

    Negative. It's for the IMI stuff (Israeli manufactured....). I'm sort of a hack though, and not too choosy.. Shoots fine in my AR. The name-brand stuff seems to be going for $.68+ per round.

    Gun safe recommendations

    +1 regarding getting larger than you think you need, if possible. Safes are like tents, IMO. When was the last time you saw a "4 man" tent that would actually fit 4 guys??? 🙄

    Doe hunts????

    I think it's been spoken-to and answered by several guys already on here. Killing more does will NOT result in you seeing more bucks. (Also, seeing lots of does does NOT cause you to see fewer bucks.) Your statement of "...makes the problem worse." assumes there is a 'problem' in the first place. From a biological perspective, seeing lots of does is not a problem.
  21. +1 on Mearns, Doug! Hopeful based on the generous monsoon this year. 🙏🏼 Anxious to get my new partner out there this fall.
