Thank you for the heads up. 2 pig tags Phil

I had good luck with Wilcox Meat, when I used to hunt down south, they use to have a drop off in Tucson but do not know if the still do as my last hunt down there was 6 years ago. You can give them a call. 520-384-2015

I have had my Kipor 3000 for 4 years and had 1 problem that was handled under warranty, if you would like more information on the Kipor and service you can contact Southwest RV at 63ave and Bell, as they not only sell them but are also the authorized Kipor warranty repair center. Phil

Here is a link to a person form Texas that has seen a cat very similar to yours. This definitely very unique in pattern. Phil http://discussions.texasbowhunter.com/foru...ead.php?t=56739

AZ, I do not know if you reload but that in itself open the door for a wide spectrum in any cartridge. Although you can always go with what fits now, then trade up in 5 years or so, then when she is in her twenties she will ask “why you get rid of my first gun”. Phil

First off let me say that I think it is super that your daughter wishes to hunt and follow her father’s footsteps. Please excuse my ignorance, but why are you concerned with a caliber that is good to 400 yards? My son shoots a 257 bob and I have him practice 100/200 yards and would not allow him to take a 300+ shot, at his age of 20 he does not have the experience necessary to complete the shot. I maybe old fashion, but due not allow the use of tripods and other accessories that limit the ability of the shooter but accent the ability of the rifle. I was brought up that hunting was between a man (women) Rifle (Bow) and nature not a fixture that any fool could walk up to and look through a scope squeeze the trigger at something that is 500 yards and say “I got it”. Please do not get me wrong there are many hunters that practice and can make the long shots but not an 11 year old child. The 7mm-08 or comparable cartridge would work well for her as she develops her marksmanship at the range or out in the open. Thank you for letting me vent on your post.

David, I live over in Avondale, please let me know how the best way to get them to you. Phil

How many do you need? Phil

You may also wish to scout Fagan mountain, if you walk the draw’s up from Fagan lake toward the tops you can see many deer, but again the ones at the lower elevations will be younger; also be aware as there are mule deer in the area and they do not read the regulations as to what altitude they should be at.

Bill, It has been about 6 years since we have been there. I am sure you noticed how it has changed. We did have a need for Border Patrol back then and now I have adjusted to hunting elsewhere. If only people would understand the destruction of the environment that has been caused by the illegal traffic both human and drugs.

Hoghntr has one list below.

Bill, I looked through all of my books and could not find the load you are requesting, using W-760. I did find this on line that is the closest using W-760. I would also like to thank you for your many articles especially the one on Fagan lake back in the late 70’s as my father and I took a number of fish from that lake along a good many Deer and Javelina. I took my son there numerous times also but the lake has deteriorated along with the game, such a shame.

The trick is to find an Audiologist that you are comfortable with, as you will probably make more than one trip for adjustments. You need to be able to find one that "hears" what you can or cannot hear and understands when you tell them what is uncomfortable to you, or what sounds you hear well or you do not. You can buy the best Aids and hate them or you can get the run of the mill and be happy because the Audiologist works with you on the Fit and sound of the Aids, but if you are not willing to work and communicate it will not work. The set I have now cost me 5K and this is the 4th set over 18 years. Phil

redneck, I have been wearing hearing aids since I was 31 and I am now pushing 50, I wear them in both ears all the time. The only problem that I encountered was with my 1st set and wind noise, with all of the digital enhancements available today that is no longer a problem. The mistake that most people make when getting hearing aids is they pick them up and then do not like the sound level or fit and then put them in a drawer never giving the Audiologist a chance to correct. I suggest that you first find an Audiologist that you are comfortable with as you will need to make a couple of trips to have them adjusted to fit you daily life style, most Audiologist do offer a 30 day trail period. Hope this is a little helpful Phil

Cash or Credit Card?

Here are two that Bishop in Tucson did for me.
