You are correct!!! I’m eating my words. I’ve shot hundreds of them in several different states and provinces and from what I can see AZ is a loophole if you will to not require non toxic shot. They don’t fall under federal regs for non toxic shot, but do for baiting, magazine capacity etc. Most states and provinces have state laws I guess on the non toxic deal. Weird. You could rip them up with 3” #4 lead!!!

Hopefully people weren’t actually using lead #2’s as that’s been outlawed for 30 years. I cranes have a pretty good amount of fluff, they’re feathers don’t wrap up on pellets near as much as a goose though. My guess is they just hit feathers only and though it was deflected. Any arrow that hits meat or bone on a crane is gonna bring it down. They are probably the easiest waterfowl to bring down pound for pound.

I’m not sure on the new format. You could send Amanda a PM. Or maybe someone on here can chime in if they know?

Sent it out today USPS. Good luck with your scoutin!

7x42BA Leica Trinovids. The BA stands for Bad A$$ and they are just that. They’re used but priced accordingly. Optically they are excellent. They have the outdoorsman stud on them. Loved them for archery hunting but bought a pair of 8.5x42 el’s so they don’t get used. $400 shipped. No box.

Naw I’ll take care of it. Just send Amanda a little more to go towards the site.

I found it. You can have it and I’ll ship it to you for free if you PM me your address and maybe make a $20 or so donation to Amanda. You’ll save a few bucks, the site will get a little money, and I’ll clear out a little clutter.

They have archery crane tags?!? Whoa. That’s tough. They’re tough to get to commit to decoys unless you have really good ones (deceptions or stuffers). My only thought would be decoys and letting one land. They should die about like a turkey with a bow although they are considerably smaller then a tom turkey. I use 3” 2 or 3 shot steel for them up in ND. Never shot at one with a bow though. You almost certainly can’t sneak up on them from what I’ve found, even to shotgun range so your best bet would be landing them in a field around you in a double bull or something and taking a standing shot. Maybe pass shooting with flu glue but they would have to be low in order to pull that off.

Sorry to change up on this but I’m just gonna hold onto these for truck binos for this price.

I think I have one around somewhere but I have no idea where it is. I’ll look and let you know if I found it. I’d have to ship it so it might not be worth your time anyhow.

I had an encore that I shot 125gr volume out of and never had an issue. I shot that thing hundreds and hundreds of times too.

I shoot 110 weight and haven’t seen any issues yet, I did hear that the breach plugs in the remingtons are harder then the old ultimates like mine so they are rated to 160 volume. I can’t verify that though.

I’ve only been around two of them, friends of mine who bought cva accuras against my caution. Both would only fire about 7 out of 10 times. Wouldn’t even set the primer off. Both had “stainless” barrels but they turned out to just be plated steel barrels so the bore wasn’t stainless which is important in a muzzleloader if you ask me. Can’t say that I’ve been around a new CVA but they were such a disappointment when I was around them I wouldn’t waste my time again. There’s so many better options out there I guess why risk it.

Run away from CVA and traditions. I’d get the ultimate. I own one of the original Michigan ultimates and am having another sabot less gun built. Most guns these days will shoot 1.5-2” groups when following the weird rituals that 777 requires but to get a real long range consistent gun you’ll want to use blackhorn and get something with a rifle primer ignition source or you’ll end up banging your head against the wall. If the Remington doensnt come with a muzzle break factor one into your budget as my Michigan ultimate kicks even with a break. I shoot 110gr blackhorn by weight (about 160 by volume) with a 300gr Parker black max at 2400fps. That’s got more KE then a 30-06 with 180’s. It’s a mean rig. Used to be muzzleloaders killed more like bows by just putting a big hole in a critter. These will kill with hydraulics just like any other rifle.

I have a 2-12x42 with zero lock and duplex for sale. It has a custom turret on it so you’ll need to get a new one made from Leupold. I think it’s $60 to have that made. It’s priced accordingly. It’s in good shape, I caught the few blemishes in the pics. Optically perfect. No box. $550 shipped

3-18x44mm VX-6 with firedot illum duplex. Optically perfect. A few blemishes on it from mounting but they’re captured in the pics. $700 shipped. No box but i’ll wrap it up in an old Five Finger Death Punch T-shirt for shipping.

How was that hunt? I’ve been eyeing it for a while. I’m guessing it’s just walking around in the timber hoping to walk up on one? Are the leaves off the trees so it’s better visibility then the oct hunt? Does the pressure from the oct rifle hunt effect them much?

Can’t you hunt all of 7e with the archery tag or is there a LE archery hunt?

I don’t give a shoot if people go to Mexico from a business perspective. I do from a personal perspective. If you read my post I covered all of that. Plenty of bad dentists in the US as well that’s why I said find one one trust and stick with them. I pointed out the reasons you can’t trust a dentist who does crowns for $300. I didn’t even brush on the fact that there’s no quality control whatsoever to keep you from getting hepatitis or worse from the guy before you. If you’d rather spend $1500 for 5 crowns, 4 of which you don’t need them $1000 for the one you did and the rest of your life fighting hep C then be my guest.

Reading something written by someone who knows more then you is what research is. I’m a dentist. I’ve dealt with the garbage work and worse yet overtreatment that comes across the border. The bad thing about bad dental work is you don’t know you have it till it’s too late.

Says the guy who’s last post as about people not researching enough. Essentially they don’t make shoot off one procedure so they do 5-6 to make ends meet. Yes you got a $300 crown instead of $1000 but they did 5 on you and you only needed one. This would be cool if it was 5 pairs of binos for the price of one but with dental work the more work you do the more problems you will have, so you’re setting yourself up for a lifetime of problems.
