    Some good ones

    Unfortunatly not by my bow....It was blistering hot here in So Az. I was glassing ridges in 34A Santa Ritas and didn't last past 1:00. I glassed my tail off. Thought for sure I would catch one bedded in the shade and make a sneak but no luck......How do you guys deal with the heat...hiding in the shade by water.....staying home and relaxing??

    Long Sleeve Shirts are in!!

    Here I am today..just as I said I would be, chasing Coues...It was HOT HOT HOT...didn't get off work till 07:AM and was at my intended glassing spot about 09:00.....glassed hard looking under the shade of trees.....nada...but got a good workout and sweated off a few pounds in prep for my upcoming Elk hunt. I can attest to the fact that the shirts do not have built in air conditioning....but they feel and look great!!! I also have an Oct rifle tag for this area (34A) and will be back when the weather is a little cooler. Here is a front view. Had to use my tripod to take the pics as I was all alone....only one crazy enough to brave the 100 degree temps!?!

    Rage Broadheads

    I used Rocket Steel heads on my Cow Elk 2 years ago...complete pass through..was a little high and back but she went about 200 yds and dropped. Not the best blood trail I wished for but meat in the freezer. I have become a little concerned about their 7/8th diameter and short length of blade. I have another Cow tag and am going to use Trophy Ridge Hematic 3 blade. They also are 7/8th diameter for high speed accuracy, but are over twice as long as the Rocket Ultimate steel heads...they have been flying nicely out to 60yds...and I hope to get more cutting power with the longer blades.... also $15.99 for three @ walmart. I might have those blades confused with the Rocket Ultimate steel....the Rocket Steel heads are mech...have not hunted with those....

    CW.com Bumper sticker?

    # 3 is the best.....in general most non hunters will be confused....definte dialog starter and the curious in traffic will give the site a look.
  15. I have a Rem 710. It is a generation before the 770. I have been very happy with it. I have it in .270 cal. I am planning on purchasing a 770 in .243 youth for my youngest when he turns 10. My 710 shoots great groups....The Bushnell scope it came with was alright..I put it on my .06 and put a better one on the remington.....don't know what they changed when they dropped the 710 and went to the 770 though. Where are you a fireman? Here in Tucson??
  16. Does anyone know why the area around Alpine is not open for the late archery hunt for deer. We got invited to a friends cabin the last week of Dec and I thought I might take my bow for a walk and bump into a deer but checking the regs, units 1 and 27 are only open for deer in the early hunt.

    34A question

    I hunted 34A a lot in Nov and live on the northside of the unit. I didn't use that road but a buddy hunts up there a lot and he didn't mention any problems for his Nov hunt. Still lots 'o deer out there. Good luck.
