Heat

6A is a big unit. What are the odds of bumping into him unless you intentionally go to areas you know he hunts? I wouldn't worry too much about it, but that's just me.

Keep the Faith! Hebrews Chapter 11 and also 13:8: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever".

Get some of these bro...

Call my cousin Nick at Rock N Rollin Rock Sales if you can't find something more local. He's in Peoria.

Way to go guys! Looks like fun! I hope you get a chance to harvest a sheep someday buddy!

I've seen this data for Sheep but no other species. They generally fly the units to do surveys every three years I believe.

I'll be in town on Friday. I hope to bump into you and others Dan!

The folks that manage the Molly Butler Lodge also rent properties. We rented a beautiful cabin a couple years ago from them and had a great time and it wasn't too ridiculously priced for a long weekend. The place was well maintained and very comfortable. It was called the Braided Rug Cabin. There are quite a few others to choose from. Might want to take a look.

Like Hoss said, knocking a few back at the ballgame or with some buddies after work is all good, stumbling around like a fool is no fun! Been there done that plenty in my past. The scary thing is people like that get in the car and drive. What I really want to know is did he piss his pants?

I do better adding up 10 yard increments rather than 20. Stump shooting practice really helps. Other than that I agree with your methods. Good Luck Bruce! Nick

Outstanding! Congrats to you and Randy!

Just a suggestion... http://www.azbluestake.com/ or 811 Statewide

M855 is simply the military's steel tipped ball ammo. It has a fmj with a lead core and a steel tip. There is not a steel rod through the entire length of the projectile hence it is not a true armor piercing round. It weighs 62 grains. It has a green tip. NATO designation for the same projectile is SS109. It is a cheap, inexpensive round to produce. The 55 grain military ball ammo with a fmj and lead core is the M193. As mentioned above all the fuss is mute now since the ATF announced it has pulled back on its proposal to make it illegal. All it did was move a whole bunch more ammo into the hands of gun owners and made the merchants who had the stuff on hand a ton of money. A great resource if someone wants to learn about .223/5.56 ammo is the Ammo Oracle on the AR15 website.

Having the stuff to survive is one thing, knowing how to use it is another. Practice as if your life depends on it, because one day it might. Sounds like you're ready to rock! I'd be happy to have neighbors like you Zeke!

Can you say "hay hooks"!

I have the Delta/Mackenzie Javelina target because it is not too expensive, gives me a great representation of my nemesis quarry, and its easy to move in and out of the garage or out to the field to shoot. I've had it over a year now and it's held up pretty well to 3 shooters. Try to keep it out of the elements to make it last longer.

I don't shoot a longbow but I have two recurve bows. One is a vintage 1960 Bear Kodiak, 47#@28 60" bow and I also recently purchased a used 3 piece takedown recurve from Whisperstik bows called a Kajikastik that is 56" long and is 51#@28. I have been jonesing recently for another bow. The recent remakes of the Bear Super Kodiak in the Grayling Green and the new Black Beauty 1968 replica that just came out are really sweet. Going to have to start keeping my eye out for used ones. For arrows, some common advice for tuning new arrows is to start shooting them full length without feathers to be sure you end up with the correct spine. Google "Bare Shaft Tuning". Here's some good advice I'll pass along, cutting too much from the beginning makes it tougher to tune the arrow. You can change point weight to make the spine stiffer or weaker but I wouldn't want to make them too stiff to start, hence they recommend only cutting a half inch off at a time to tune your arrow spine to your bow. Once you find an arrow spine/length that works well without feathers, fletch them up and fine tune with point weights and maybe brace height. There is a spine calculator called "Stu's Spine Calculator" online or on the 3 Rivers site that will get you really close if you know the specs of the bow you are working with. If you are still having trouble finding correct spine, try posting your question on the Leatherwall or Trad Gang sites. There are some very experienced and helpful traditional shooters on those sites. Good Luck!

You can add the sheep in units 9/10 to the list as well.

Happy Birthday Adam and Mike!

That is a steal at $550, let alone $500. Sorry people are yanking you around on the deal. I've had guys try to lowball me on stuff when I clearly write "price is firm" in my ad. I think it's a challenge for some or something. Don't let it get you down. You're an awesome guy for offering this rifle to us here for such a great price. If I was in the market for a hunting rifle I would be all over this. FYI I paid $600 for a new one in a different caliber last summer when I was looking and thought I did pretty well, so this is a very fair deal on a slightly used gun. I clearly remember you helping me look for that 7mm-08. I Thank You again! If anyone is in the market I would highly recommend this rifle for hunting anything in Arizona minus a bison maybe.

I'm with some of the others and say go help the guy remove the hill. No matter how rotten the neighbor is, chances are a confrontation or agitation in this situation is not going to help. I'd try the olive branch before the magnum, but certainly each has its place. Good Luck, I hope this gets resolved soon!

with taste buds like that no wonder you like javelina. Now that's funny right there...I don't care who you are! Instant classic!

Went big...archery only early bull 23N, 3A/3C with one of the boys. You never know!

Very interesting. Please keep us informed on how this works out for you. I am thinking about trying a bt release someday. Good Luck!
