Some interesting reading here. It didn't change my mind about what broadhead to use but I was surprised the Swhacker did so poorly. However after hunter74's experiences with them it probably shouldn't have. http://www.arkansashunting.net/showthread.php?t=158170

Sight tapes come with the sight? What diameter is the sight ring? Are the other pins .019? Is it a right hand sight?

For the money Victory arrows are hard to beat. As to broadheads........slick tricks. My experience with them is they are as accurate as a field point and not a lot can go wrong with them.

How much are you looking to pay? I have an older CJ that I want to sell. It sounds like a wreck but it has 120K original miles. Sun was it's worse enemy. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/cto/4310326557.html

It is not public leased land. Most people think it is but is not. Here is some info on STL. And a quote on the info about public access " Land leased for agricultural, mining, commercial or military use is not available for recreation." http://www.ehow.com/about_6653911_information-state-trust-land-arizona.html "Arizona Trust Land is land managed by the State Land Department Trust Land is not public land http://www.azland.gov/programs/natural/recreation_permit.htm

We are dealing with private property and State Trust land. STL is not public land. Without doing research I would think that the Boquillas has leased the STL within the ranch boundaries. This kind of BS is exactly why I will never hunt unit 10 again outside of the national forest.

Way to go Sambo! Danny said you are going the full body mount!

You are assigned a number. The number of points you have just increase your chance for getting a lower number. The lower the number the better. Or so I am told. Check this link out for how the draw works http://www.azgfd.gov/eservices/BigGameDrawingProcess.shtml

Fletcher is sold

Cleaning out the closet and need to make room. I have a Browning Impulse LS. It was my daughter's bow but she quit shooting several years ago. It has Vapor Trail strings, QAD rest and a sight that is is a hybrid of Montana Black Gold and Tru Glo. Comes with a cheap bow case. Chrono'd this at 252fps with a 330 grain arrow. I think a good shock absorbing stabilizer would help this bow. It has a bit more hand shock than I like but is pretty accurate. Asking $100. .

I am located in the Tonopah area.

Considering selling my '76 CJ7. I have owned it since 1978. It's been pretty much parked for the last 18 years since I have gone to using either quads or side x sides. I have put maybe 5000 miles on it in that time frame. It is cosmetically a mess from sitting so long in the sun. Seats are cracked and need seat covers. Doors panels need to be pulled off and linkages lubricated. It has minor electrical problems......dimmer switch needs to be replaced, one tailight doesn't work and fuel gauge is erratic. It may work today but not tomorrow. Paint is faded. It has leaked out a pint of transmission fluid in the last 3 years between the transfer case and tranny mating surfaces. Quadra Trac vacuum lines probably need to be replaced. Tires are starting to sun crack. I live in a rural area outside of emissions testing so it has never been emission tested. In the last 21K miles everything with the exception of the rear differential has been gone through including the engine and tranny. Transfer case was opened up and needed nothing so it was put back when the engine and transmission were out. All body bushings with the exception of one were replaced along with leaf springs. It may need shocks. Hoses and belts were replaced about 5 years ago but time is probably starting to get to them. It had a major brake job 15K miles ago. Specs are full time 4 wheel drive, hard top, 304 V8 engine, automatic transmission with Quadra Trac. Biggest thing wrong with it is sitting in the sun and not being driven. Asking $4500.

I have an older 700ADL that loves 65 grains of 4831 and 160 grain Partitions. Also pretty fond of 140 grain boat tail bullets and 66 grains of 4350.

Welcome to Police State USA. He shot a guy with his hands in the air. An MCSO deputy held my 60 year old aunt at gunpoint because her truck was the color of a truck that was used in a robbery 10 hours before. She tried to tell him that she couldn't hold her hands in the air as he commanded because of a disability. Didn't matter. He held her at gunpoint until backup arrived. She is 5'2" and 140 lbs soaking wet. She was a big threat for sure.

Told ya! LOL!

Good luck on your hunt's guys. We can disagree on many things but what's important is that we are doing what we love to do. There are mule deer out there that I haven't seen. Gonna spend the next week trying to change that. Shoot straight.

no one in this thread even said they would take the shot. they said if they were practiced and proficient at that range they would. dont see how taking shorter shots makes you a better bowhunter either, but if that makes you feel like it than cool. i feel like a good bowhunter when i kill. edit: i dont shoot with turrets on my rifle but i dont go telling my friends im a better hunter than them because they shoot long range Really? My archery skills haven't changed much over the years. My hunting skills have. I can get closer than that now. That makes me a better bowhunter than I was when I took a 92 yard shot with the key word being "hunter."

Looks like I am out of my league with you long shot guys. My longest kill was 92 yards on an antelope. I have learned alot since then and wouldn't take it again if given the opportunity. I have become a better bowhunter.

Long shots are taken when hunting the west but a shot that far is irresponsible and reckless. I don't care who you are or how good you think you are that is just not a good shot to take on a target that is capable of moving. I have more respect for an animal I am hunting than that. JMO

Unfortunately it is part of public land hunting. I have bumped guys unknowingly and did what I thought was the right thing and either apologized, backed off or both. The "it's all about me" attitude is a sign of the condition of our society today. Not many people out there that care about what they are doing to others as long as they are doing what they want. Run in's with others are going to happen. It is how we handle it that matters. And remember that no matter what kind of jerk the other guy is if he is not breaking the law there is not much that can be done about it. Whip his arse and you are the one in trouble, not him.

Javelina costs us over $20K in damages and lost yield in one field alone. I begged bowhunters to thin out the herd. The unit manager even had us in his unit description of where to hunt javelina. I hated them.

42 and 44A are tough pig units unless you know a local farmer that will give you access to hunt the ag areas, you get plain lucky or are one of those that have a good pig spot located from hard work. Not many pigs in either. 39 has a ton of pigs along the Gila River. We counted over a hundred coming out of the salt cedars into an alfalfa field one evening several years ago. I would suggest trying to get access from local farmers in the areas along the Gila. Pigs are a pain in the arse to farmers and getting access to hunt shouldn't be too difficult from most of them. You will run into a guy once in awhile that won't allow you in but many will. Good luck.

I've been to several places trying to buy a 2014 OTC deer tag. Same story every place I have been......can't sell them until Jan.1, 2014. Called the Phoenix G&F office and the lady in the license department said if I wanted to come into the office they could generate one off of the computer but they aren't available any other way right now. She said it was due to the restructuring of the licenses. I have a hunt scheduled for Jan. 1 and don't want to be standing in line to buy a freakin' deer tag so I guess I will drive to the Carefree office Monday. There has to be a better way of managing things than this.

I don't think it is a matter of them selling them anymore. The way I understand it it is because of their restructuring of the license system that has everything screwed up. Hopefully this will be a one time problem. I wish you could buy them online.
