Thanks for the input douchebag....

Where'd you find "BIG" whitetails in Minnesota? From what I know about Minnesota you have a better chance of killing a 120"er here in AZ!

I don't know if they made different runs of these tires or what, but I've either heard really good or really bad about them. I, unfortunately, ended up with bad ones! I've got barely 10k on them and they are trashed, the lugs just shred on any rocks, and they look weather checked already, I've only had them since July!!! Anyhow I would NEVER EVER buy another set of Duellers, at $230 a crack for standard sized 17" I hoped for a little more out of them, they are gonna barely make it through this season, and will for sure need to be replaced by before next fall. Not impressed.

That's bad wording there! My family back in ND applied to help with this but didn't get drawn. Glad they're finally addressing this issue though.

Hey Guys (n' Gals) I have been searching high and low to try to find the hours for quail and other small game. The nearest I can find is that small game seasons are open "during daylight hours" whatever that means. In my home of ND upland game was from 1/2 hour before sunrise to sunset, very simple and concise. The only thing I could find in AZ was for dove, which is obviously a federal season and obviously follows the same 1/2hr before to sunset. I'm really curious because it's so dang hot out there that extra half hour in the evening would sure be nice, but I'm afraid to shoot past sunset for fear I'm breaking the law. Any thoughts? Thanks

Good call Schmitty, appreciate the input. I wouldn't have dreamed they'd allow that much "common sense" in the rules. In other states I've hunted they go by a designated time in a central area of the state, and then you add or subtract based on how many miles east or west of that spot you are. They are VERY picky about it in ND, I've seen guys get nailed for 5 minutes after before. I appreciate all the feed back, and the suggestions. Thanks!

Unfortunately "common sense" doesn't stand up in our court system. That's why they put the sunrise and sunset times in the regs book, so everyone is on the same page legally. If you can only legally hunt till sunset, and you hunt till 1/2 hr after, regardless of whether or not you can ID an animal, you are breaking the law. Just trying to figure this out for sure, so I don't end up breaking the law. Is there anyone that knows either way on this for sure? I've tried google, and reading through the regs book, and can't find anything definitive.

+1 on the cabelas cover, I have one for an 80mm and it's awesome....

I just ordered on up too, went with the orange as well, hopefully it will be stained red soon...

SOLD

I'm looking to get after the doves a little more this year since my pup is ready to get after em. I have typically hunted in the desert, around 4k feet or so, simply because I knew I wouldn't run into access issues. My question is, what are the regs about city limits if you hunt close to the valley. Particularly Peoria, as according to the map I found they more or less annexed all the way to Black Canyon city, including all of Lake Pleasant. I live in the NW valley, so I would prefer somewhere up here, but it may be worth the drive SW to Buckeye or so, but I imagine it's the same deal down there with city limits. Any info or tips on finding a decent spot, I know there are plenty of doves around if you stay in the valley, just need to find a place to legally shoot I guess. Thanks

So does that make a rifle cheating too? How about using a truck to get from your house to the mountains, sounds like cheating as well, you should have to walk all the way from your house....

What have you guys (or gals) heard about accessing public lands in checkerboarded areas. Can you "cut corners" to access the next public section and so on? I've done it on BLM in Montana because a game warden said it was legal, but then I've heard it isn't legal. I'm interested mostly about NM, but if you have any info about doing (or not doing) it in AZ that would be great to hear. I would assume it is a federally controlled thing, but perhaps states have different laws. Thanks, YOTE

thanks muleman, that's exactly what I was referring to, I was pretty sure it wasn't legal, but wanted to check what you guys have heard. So I guess it's not ok to "jump" across the corner That's really a pain in the rear, definitely ties up a LOT of OUR land... One final question, how do you tell if a road you are driving on is a public right of way or a private road (short of obvious posted signs or gates). I've found a lot of roads on google earth that look like main roads and they meander through large chunks of BLM or state land. I realize if the road is legal to drive you can legally access the land adjacent to it, what I don't quite get is how you know if you can actually drive on them or not? Not looking to trespass, but rather keep from doing it inadvertently.

I wish I had 10 bonus points for Javelina!!!

This is a good example of why ballistics calculators don't always work the way you'd like them to. They figure for a 1.5" scope height and the approach angle of line of sight vs. line of flight can vary based on rifle/base/ring/scope combinations. A bullet usually crosses line of sight (going up) at around 25yards, then comes back down around 100 yards (if that is your zero). BUT, it may cross sooner or later then that based on the angle of your line of sight/line of flight. Soooo, there is a chance that your barrel is "pointed higher" if you will, or "pointed lower". This is why it is imperative to always shoot your rifle at all distances you plan on shooting and not just sight it in at 100 and print off a ballistics chart and go hunting.

Looking for a canvas wall tent with frame and stove preferably, but would consider just the tent as well. Let me know if you have one to sell.

not more than $40, but I'll give ya $50

Went up there last weekend and realized how tough it is to access. Ended up taking a forest service road in on the west side about halfway up the lake to a small parking area. We then proceeded to hike our kayaks down 8 or 900 yards to the lake on advice from a guy we met on the trail. He said that the dam access point was an even further hike then this one, so I believed him. Later that day I saw a metal jon boat complete with trolling motor, so I thought to myself, "there's no way that guy hiked THAT thing all the way down here too!" Anyhow, just wondering if you can get right to the water on the north end by the dam, I'd like to go back, but hiking my kayak out of the access point I went in on nearly killed me! Any thoughts?

So can you drive in past the gate with a quad or is it illegal? On the map it looks like the trail goes right to the water. Would a wheeled cart work to get a kayak in there or is it too rough? Thanks

Wow!!! Did you even bother to fix any teeth?!? That looks like a ton of fun, I get to do all of my training in scenic Glendale thanks to our administration Did you get on the wait list for MT combo tags? Which town are you gonna be in again? Looks like all is well for you!

Looking to get rid of a few things I had laying around that I don't use anymore. First is a Beretta A391 Urika 2 12ga. 3" 26" barrel. It comes with the factory chokes (5) extra pad, extra shims and spacers, and all the literature it came with in the factory hard case. This gun has a some wear marks on it from chasing quail and doves in the desert as expected! I would say its 90% or so, but functionally perfect. I paid $1200 for it a couple years ago, but shoot my 20 all the time now so I'm looking to sell it. Reduced to: $675 Next is a foxpro ZR2 electronic caller. I have since recorded over the factory sounds, but you can put any sound you like on it easily. Holds 12 sounds, no remote control with this model. Upgraded to an FX3 with a remote after getting bit by a fox!!! SOLD! Garmin Etrex GPS, bought new this last fall, used on a couple of hunts. Looking to upgrade to a color model with basemaps. This is a barebones model, but it'll get you back to your truck or camp just as good as the others! Reduced to: $60 Last I have a Garmin Nuvi GPS for in your car. It has a car charger and wall charger, and talks to you while you're driving. (she sounds hot). Anyhow, I got it from my brother who said I needed it to get around but I never really use the thing so I'm gonna try to get rid of it and put the cash towards a new hunting GPS. Reduced to $50 All of this stuff is located in north Glendale, near the I-17 and 101 interchange. I will donate 10% of what I make back to CWT. You can PM me if you have questions. Thanks, YOTE

Hey, I'm looking at getting the outdoorsmans pistol grip for my 15's and tripod use. I messed around with one at their shop with 15's above it and loved it. Is this mount ok for using with a heavier spotter on top of it too, or is a pan head necessary for that? I have a Leica 77mm spotter, so its kind of an ox. Right now I've more or less only used my spotter from the window mount back in ND (most glassing is done from the road there ... anyhow, if I find myself on a hunt where I need to pack the spotter and use it on my tripod will the outdoorsman pistol be sufficient for such a big scope? Any thoughts would be appreciated. YOTE

Where exactly does one go about getting "jaguar scat"????
