    AZGFD Rule Changes

    no eventually we will end up paying to enter our forest and will watch thousands of animals get killed and burned because of disease outbreak because our state will have outlawed hunting.. then the remaining animals will die during a bad winter.. well they said our atv stamps were top pay for signage for forest roads and we get no signs but they close roads.. i guess our fines we pay might pay for signage??? this is all about archers doing better than the old 2% or whatever it was.. if anyone was seriously worried about cwd they would pay a little more attention to the the "epileptic" cows down around Maricopa dairys and the huge boneyareds just accross the roads where they scatter the carcasses of the dead.. these cows have mad cow written all over them and we just keep on consuming their milk etc etc.... i do not want cwd here any more than anyone else but since it has swept the country i would say it will be here so i guess it all depends on if baiting is truly gonna make a difference?? i highly doubt it.. water is where they will get sick period the end. i can say as a baiter it does bother me that some people bait in ways that might be harmful to a animal and that should be managed. like use trace mineral salt not mortons water softener salt. and look up founder and collic before you become a baiter ... and if your animals hooves are 9" long when you kill it that means they were rellying on your food for many months and what will the young ones do now that you quit feeding and they haven't learned didly about life .. c-mon guys if a bit more common sense had been used in the beginning this might be a non issue.. so if my rights are squashed i wont just be dissapointed that Game and Fish failed me i will also me dissapointed with all the stupid hunters out there that could't carry ethics over into their baiting arena.

    AZGFD Rule Changes

    I have a hard time believing that critters will be in harms way by disease more at a feeder than they will at a local waterhole. i can say that as a disabled vet with baiting being banned and with all the road closures you can probably count me out on all future hunts.. So thanks Arizona the state which i am a Native of for taking away the outdoors i once knew so well!

    .270 Effective Range

    Haven't made it that far yet. I was shooting a gong at 560 yards at the range. I would say the gong is about 18" in diameter. Yesterday was the first day I sighted in with new Vortex scope. I spent the day shooting steel silhouette targets.my goal was to try out the iSnipe program and get close as far as sighting in. I like shooting silhouette because I can have several set up at different distances without having to go down range repeatedly to move target. Shooting paper is my next step. I did shoot paper at 200 yards and my groups were within 6 inches. I think most of that variation is my shooting technique. I'm definitely not ready to shoot an animal at 500 yards yet. Hopefully I will be able to get closer than 300 yards every time. Once I get to shoot paper I will post the results on here. Probably wont be for another week or so. Gotta work to pay for ammo...lol THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I have heard so many guys say they took a shot at long distance and not been willing to walk to make sure the animal was not wounded.. so thank you for saying you are not ready to shoot an animal at 500yards yet.. (: practice like many do not and you will be ready! i still wonder what kinda hunt a 1,000 yard shot actually provides anyways.. if not for National Security then why??? im sure somewhere in the definition of the word hunt it says to try and be within 400yards of your game. (; good luck and have fun with it!!!

    Hoghntr could use 6A cow help

    Thanks to all who offered help... man i had some guys handing over some secret holes that sounded gr8.. my gut said the rut would happen and they would come as they always do . Now i am a praying man and while in prayer Tuesday morning the nHoly Spirit clearly said stay put and go sit here ______ so i immediately went to the tank and popped blind and 2 hours later put a bolt through a 2-3 year old cow which is exactly what i ordered. I called father and son team up there i had met and they came and helped me get it out. I in return for the kindness you all have shown me left my blind for these guys and have them bull sitting and will get blind in few weeks when they are in Phx.. i love it when we are all like family!! now sadly whith road closures and broken body and possibly bait ban i just dont know if this will be my sport for very much longer so feel free to donate meat to this charitable cause whenever. (: I give all the Glory to God on this hunt folks... i killed this elk 3 years to the day of my last big game harvest.. i had been trying like crazy but until i got the hunt addiction under control i was gonna have no luck.. and i am content.. guess what im broken and i have to use crossbow so i might as well enjoy it as any other archery success..(: = content
  13. Well you all have heard me complain about all my pain and brokeness for years and it has just hit me in a new level of horrible. Ok few years back i got crossbow permit cuz my rheumatologist was sick of me hurting and was afraid of me having more surgeries.. well truth is compared to most i just dont shoot much, i cant! multiple shoulder surgeries and all my post military issues with body put me in position of basically flinging a few arrows before each hunt and i would go kill and that was that.. well i had a few years of technical fouls where i wounded animals and i knew it was my fault and if i was healthy and able to shoot regularly as i wanted to the odds would be better so i was in favor of x-bow permit.. now in 2009 i killed turkey, deer, elk with x-bow and the deer was awesome but i felt something missing on others.. anyways recently i had been doing pretty well andgot a hold of a Athens bow which has a supe easy draw and gr8 valley these things made it possible for me to draw so i became staff with Athens and quickly snatched up 1 of almost everything they had that i could find used... now i was starting to have more neck pain and upper back issues etc but was not sure of connection.. then very rappidly i could not raise my bow to the target, thought i was having some sort of target panic.. well for unrelated reasons i had a contrast mri of right shoulder on Friday Aug 31 now i gotta tell you the doc was basically mocking me in his office.. he was saying oh come on your a big guy and you cant turn my hand? look how small i am.. come on mike whats wrong with you? ok this is when i stopped, stepped away, and in my head asked myself how much trouble i would get in if i punched him! i mean punched him as hard as i could??? ok anyways i did not. i said doc i am here because i am 6'2" and should be able to poor a glass of tea from a pitcher without dropping it right.? IDIOT!!!!! so... Tue morning 8am after holiday i missed 3 call already... ok story getting long.. i met with him and he said.. well first ill tell you i thought i just needed a little clean out.. doc said mike there is nothing i can do for you. he explained my rotator cuff is stretched so thin it almost cant be seen on mri and sam with others and if i have tear they will have nothing to repair. now the thing stopping me from raising bow to target is i have other tendons growing all massive trying to do the job of the bad ones and that is what is getting stuck.. very painful by the way.. so for years i have been complaining of body shifting shoulders crooked and getting stuck and even had other mri's and they went from saying oh mine do that to to now in a somber tone.. Mike their is nothing i can do to help, your shoulder is just wore out and needs to be replaced but we cant do that yet so no more anything with right arm. So plz pray for me i have some pretty serious decisions to make. I have some doctors to consult with and most importantly i must find out if this is part of my disease process and if so will taking the immune supressants im afraid of help stop the progression ???? Our God is greater but right about now i wanna jump off a dang cliff ya know. im 40years old and so sick of having my body busted up.. and im rely sick of being treated like crap at the VA. ok im going elk hunting and im sticking my nose in my Bible till i come out happy. thx for listening Mike

    **just need some prayer and encouragement

    from what they say and what they showed me there is nothing to operate on. i am going to see a doc who is reconstruction specialist but again if nothing to work with he will also have hands tied, rotator cuff is stretched so thin and so warn out their is just nothing to work with. i would like to see about having some of the tendons that have built up so big shaved down a bit so i wasnt getting stuck so much but that may cause failure of the cuff? i have a connective tissue disease that is probably the culprute but i was not warned of this happening. not really worried about a bow any more... heck i need my shoulders.. im not talking tear im talking basically not having a rotator cuff... i had mri in 2007 and va said i was fine and basically suck it up but they would do a exploritory if i wanted so i was fee basised out but then i found out i needed my hips done so had to put on hold so i just want to know how i went from no problem to no shoulder in 5 years. ):

    Cardboard Target

    I would obsess over that bull as well. Got any full size pics you could share? I had pics and video of the buck in my avatar from october the year I killed him (killed him in December), and that prodcued a bit of an obsession. Lets just say there were some wives who were sick of hearing about "that dam deer" and wanted him dead as much as I did yeah not proud of it but i was delivered a text message on that elk hunt requesting a divorce.. the part im really not proud of is going and hunting and killing an elk the next day and justifying by saying i would need meat in the freezer. stupid! stupid! stupid!!!!! oh and you see even though i have an elk tag in hand i am still sitting here due to the the trauma of that 2009 elk hunt.. i have not killed since.. call it hunt PTSD
