I just saw a pic of Lex's gorgeous huge buck - they are probably over 80- 100 miles apart - mines still waiting for me - the one in my photo looks to be non typical -antlers going every which way from the cameras angle

Can someone post a picyure/story of this lookalike for me

here agin - if people would just shut up! with all the publicity of the pro's of having this happen - goofball wouldn't do it cuz he doesn't like AZ but get the dimwit to go on record he''ll take every necessary steps to stop it is -STUPID -- JUST SHUT THE heck UP DUNCEY

i'm sure the 275 with 90-100 grains of powder will have no problem in dropping a piggy. just like changing anything - get to a range -site it in -make the adjustments so bullet is hitting where you aim - put it in the kill zone - tag your piggy but if you plan on using the gun for bigger species - I wouldn't change anything buy the bullets you normally shoot - the gun likes them - no messin around - take it to the range shoot - your good to go as usual! no hassle no fuss no extra expense.

is that part of a ladder stand - u got the rest ?

nice to see "my" little herd is starting to grow - might even apply next yr. if I can find the den made a trip to show inlaws around N. Az . stopped in at property to check cams .

to be honest - I think you could go hunting in that outfit and do just as good as all the new fangled camo's just as long as theres no wabbit hunters around I find it funny to watch some hunting shows and see clients all decked out in new camo's and guide wears jeans and a carhart jacket Hunts are still successful - guide wears everyday clothes - hunter spends $500 on all new camo gear

I like to butter a non stick foil- then wrap a trout or salmon stuffed with a slices of onion and lemon - that is covered generously with a Zesty Italian dressing inside and out- cook 6-8 minutes a side - no fishy - dirty - taste deep fried halibut fish sticks - using crushed honey nut cherrios is my go to choice of favorites

this topic just wasted 5 minutes of my day - guess I shoulda listened to a podcast instead

Not many yotes on trail camera but we do hear a few times in the morning sitting on the deck . It's on my list of to do things , thanks for the reminder.

heres the spot I plan on hunting

whats all the cryin about crossbows - I find them fun to shoot . traditional recurves- compounds- crossbows are all BOWS they are all considered archery equipment! i'm not here to argue or change anyone's mind on what "YOU" consider archery hunting Over the yrs I've hunted enough to know it's not the choice of weapon that makes the difference in harvesting the animal but the skill of the hunter and knowledge of the the animal hunted. don't hassle or disclaim some guys choice of weapons just cuz it differs from yours. if it's legal - use whatever you want to use ! like I stated in a previous topic on crossbows - most are big and cumbersome - not a lot of fun to tote around especially in and under trees and the thick washes where you normally find piggys Most likely I'll be using my excaliper for my HAM hunt- you know the one with limbs and a string - just like a recurve bow. not all those fancy split limbs and cams like most compounds ! If i'm skilled enough to get within "bow" range - I should be able to harvest a piggy this yr. - with a little luck!

yep -- doe urine synthetic scents are legal

It's not limited to unit 41- just about any agriculture field next to deserts will have some poaching activity . If it draws any number of deer - lots of poachers out there!

stop by 1115 w deervalley and let her shoot a mission crossbow at Arizona Archery Club and pro shop . the little 320 is perfect for her in my opinion.

just because it has a Asian tranny doesn't mean it can't have major issues lots of people having slippage shift problems - easy to google even guys with several trucks - most never have a problem but a few are nightmares

it doesn't get much better tasting than a corn feed whitetail deer - nice buck

somebody got a great truck!

best bet is to call around and ask what they have - give all the archery shops a call i'd pass on cabelas or basspro personally

the sniper 370 on special this week at Cabelas - most any brand will work - but if your looking for something for your wife - shop around - let her shoot one don't just go buy one . mission is the only way to go for a Lady - check them out and shoot at archery shop in deer valley . they are lighter /smaller which will make it even better for her shoulders - they are a lot quieter too - most others are cumberson pigs - but guys don't care ! some will have a crank attachment so she can cock it herself otherwise make sure that's possible if your not with her except to pay 700- 800 but well worth it . I own a Barnett 350 and an excaliper - got super deals and my b-laws both have missions . had I had the extra $$$ I'd of gone with the lighter crossbow - makes a big difference after a day in the field mission 320 I think - the hype of 350 - 440 ft per second really means nothin

I kinda like to think - if at least you were fortunate to draw a tag and where able to get out in the field and hunt - then you were way ahead of those whom didn't!

simple in field look for the g1-2-3 to be at least any of the combination 5-8-6 5-6-8 6-8-5 8-5-6 you get the idea you'll probably be looking at a 100 in buck with normal width / mass so if eye guards small needs extra on g-2 g-3 for a typical 3 point buck if g1-2-3 smallish look for extra mass and length or width 5 in eye guards -- 10 g-2 8 in -- 16 g-3 6 in -- 12 main beams 14in - 28 width 14in - 14 mass 5-3-2- -- 20 ---------------------------------- 100

when on Patagonia - always hunt the hills west of the DUMP site

unit - 10 along with all the other units combined in archery hunt # 5082 seldom sells out OTC Like I said - or at least I meant to say , I want to see this herd grow - 2 yrs ago it was 3 pigs - now it looks like 4-5 adults and as many juveniles from last yr. other photos show at least 1 adult that may make some more bacon on the hoof this spring. Be nice to see the herd double in size before I apply- they pretty much stay in my "private " canyon

you're killlin me here - Somebody grab it - quickly
