Anyone know who the guy with the lifted red ford superduty that was at the Forest lakes location on wednesday around mid day? They had a rack sticking up out of the back with big tops on it that looked exactly like one I was chasing, curious if it was, didn't have time to stop and check, but the bull I was after had a broken brow or two and his 5ths were longer then the rest of his mainbeams by 4 or 5 inches.

You sure that isn't a spike elk?

I'm with Amanda, I know it's not good to complain about having an archery elk tag, but I'd go in a heartbeat if I didn't have that hunt to go on! I'll be calling if I kill a bull on the first weekend!

Thanks for the update Chef! You cost me $300!!! I'm trying a vest, packable jacket, beanie, and the gloves.

I just got my model 70 (pre-64 style) 7mm STW back from the smith, had it bedded and floated in its original walnut stock. I'd like to put a nice synthetic on it, but my dad got it for me when I was 12 as a christmas present, and I didn't want to change the esthetics to much! Anyhow, I've always had Leupold 2 piece bases on it with a Zeiss conquest 4.5-14. The Zeiss made a trip back to the factory while the gun was gone to get an elevation turret, and I plan on having a Kenton turret made for it once I get a load ironed out. It's always shot 140gr Accubonds into 1 MOA, but been kind of fussy about keeping that MOA in the same spot year after year! I bought some 168 VLD's I plan to shoot out of it, and want to set the turret up for longer range (the previous longest I'd ever shot it was 600). I plan on putting a one piece picatinny base on it from a reputable manufacture, but don't know whether to get a 0 or 20 moa. It says on zeiss's site that I can get 42 MOA out of my scope, so is 20 MOA of elevation going to be enough for me to get 1000 yards out of it or do should I get a 20moa base? Also, if I do get a 20 moa base, are there any downfalls to this? I'm worried about having zero troubles at close range (100yrds) with the scope cranked up all the way. I love the idea of long range, but not at the cost of my 100-200 yard zero ability. Thanks,

Yeah, Python Lock and a couple of lag bolts, he'd need a good quality bolt cutter to get it off, finger's crossed he doesn't come back with one.

This gentleman (who I was easily able to read his license plate) decided he needed to help me out by attempting to cover my cam after he realized he couldn't get it off the tree. Fortunately a nice cow elk came by a couple hours later and undid his work for me!!! His dirtbag hands must've had something tasty on them! HIm driving up, good thing he's teaching his kids to mess with other people's stuff! He did a good job of keeping his face off the candid camera! The branch was a nice try, but it still didn't really affect the picture quality!

Yeah, there's a road going in and out of there, there were 4 different rigs on my cam in a week, everyone was respectful but this guy! One was a jeep that had more lights on it then a spaceship! In the middle of the night too, musta been out spotlighting I guess.

any chance you'd consider selling it without the scope?

was it shot or hit by a vehicle?

I'll sell ya one for $75. Brand new!

I'll take the benchmaster off your hands, any chance you get up to the NW valley ever?

I've put out a number of salts for my sept archery hunt this year. I've gotten tons of pics, just using crushed rock salt with deer cocaine liquid, a little black magic powder and whatever else is on sale. I have one site in particular where they ate 40 pounds of salt in 2 months! It was literally all gone last time I checked it so I had to replenish it. Anyhow, I have 3 real nice bulls for my unit hitting it very regularly, regular enough to where if the season opened tomorrow I could kill one of the three the first night. Some of them aren't coming in that frequently, in fact a majority of them are only swinging by every week or so. I realize when the velvet falls they move off from their bachelor groups, and move to their rutting areas, so I know some of the bulls won't be around the same area by the time my hunt opens. My question is, will they continue to hit the salt that frequently into september or does that die off when they are done growing their antlers and it cools off outside. I'm assuming the reason they need so much salt this time of year is from the antler growth and the fact that they are sweating off their electrolytes due to the heat. Also, anyone ever use oats? I put some oats, corn, and salt out at one, the salt seemed to be the prefered, but the elk really seemed to like the oats covered in molasses. The turkeys ate all the corn, and the elk didn't seem to care about it that much.

Well I kinda dropped the ball on this, been meaning to take my AZ hunter safety course, so today I finally sat down and took the online portion and went to schedule a field day. Well the only one that works with my schedule is this coming sunday (17th), after that they fall on elk hunt wkds, a trip out of state etc. Does anyone happen to know a way to contact them to enroll late in the game? Thought about just showing up on sunday morning in hopes that they have an open spot, anythoughts? Also, the instructors name is Tom Slaughter, anyone know him by chance? Thanks

I got a few packs of the rage crossbow heads to try this year out of my regular bow. The notch on the blade that holds it in is quite a bit deeper, so they deploy a lot harder. No way of them prematurely opening, excited about using trying them out. BEN

I bought three packs of the rage crossbow heads a couple days ago. I have yet to shoot them into anything, but I can tell you that the groove that the rubber band snaps into is much deeper, deep enough that they will never deploy to easily in your quiver. Whether or not they will open on an animals hide is a different story, but I have a hard time believing that they wouldn't. I've had my old rages cut the band when the opened, and I think they will do they same as they open. I liked the 1 3/4" cut instead of 2" on the 125gr. Also I got a sweet deal on ebay, 31.99 a pack, and only $5 shipping for all three packs! I like the look of em! Forgot to add, I"m using them on a regular bow, not a crossbow.
