All the powder is sold

I am only going to make 1 post on this subject and that is it. It is really sad that sportsmen are so obsessed with losing 1 tag from a hunt that would go to raffle or auction in order to help prolong the sport of hunting in this great state. For example if we take 1 tag out of unit 10 for the early archery hunt there would be 199 tags available for draw instead of 200. Now we auction that tag off and bring in $5000 for the tag, all that money is going right back to keep hunting alive and opening up more land for us to hunt. We need groups like the AZSFW to not only fight legislation that goes through that most sportsmen will never hear about, but to also keep the sport alive. This bill was not only going to help out the sport in the long run, it was also in place to help open up more private property for the average joe hunter who cannot afford to go up to the high dollar ranches in some of the best antelope units and now some of the best elk units. These changes may not have been scene in the first 5 years, but as everybody preaches on here we need to think about the future for the kids. This bill was going to be one of the best things that could have happened for the future generations in this state. There has also been talk about how this will be the first step to having landowner tags. How is it possible that will happen when it is stated that the proceeds of these tag sales will go fourth to help open up for private land for public access. I know that BPJ has taken a beating from just about everybody who has posted on here and he has done nothing but responded to all of the questions and criticism. BPJ I hope you know there are people out there that do care about this state and support a lot of your opinions. Keep up the great work

Great job on a great buck Ben! I know you worked hard on the hunt and you came out on top with a buck anybody would be proud of! Keep up the good work buddy

Another outstanding buck Jeremy. I think he is going to go in the mid to high 120's!!!

You are correct on the new strings on the hoyts not having the floating yoke now. That was my bad on the misinformation

Great job Troy!!! Wish I could have been there but work obligations kept me away. Like stated before it has been great seeing you grow up through all of your stories that you post on here. Keep it up!!!

Factory string from hoyt will be the fuse strings and they are decent. The do have a floating yolk so you will never be able to keep cam lean away completely but they should last you through at least a season.

I drew mine last year with 9 points and donated the tag to OE4A... my dad still has not drawn and is now up to 12 points I believe.

A 20" outside spread on a typical frame buck is going to be a buck that has a 16 to 17 inch inside spread depending on how massive he beams are and how his tine configuration is. I would love to see pictures of the buck you are talking about. If you look at the space between the antlers from base to base on the inside is normally around 2 to 2 1/2 inches depending on the buck.

Way to go Allen on yet another great buck!!!

No back to back for me and the ol' man is up to 11 points for turkey now

Hey guys and gals I am wanting to start working up a good load for my .280 and was wondering if anybody could help me out. I am looking to use 160 grain Nosler Accubonds with either IMR-4350 or Alliant Reloader 22 and was curious if anybody could help me out with the max loads and starting points for these. Also if anybody has worked up loads for there .280 what worked for them. Thanks guys and gals.

Here is the story of my first coues buck from 2006 on the 36b November hunt. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4505#entry48852

Well after spending 6 months in Nebraska I have come to the conclusion that AZ is where I belong. I will be moving back in the middle of October and cannot wait to get back out to chase some coues bucks around.

Stanley I wish I could but I will be unpacking still most likely. I do have a 36c early November tag so I am hoping to smoke a big buck this season.

Less than 3 weeks now!!! Cant wait to get back to AZ and start glassing up some coues bucks and seeing all my friends back home!

Congrats on a once in a lifetime bull Josh!

There is no better feeling than spending quality time in the field with your dad! Hope you and your dad have many more years ahead.

Way to go Conner!!! That is a great looking buck!

My buddy smoked a decent buck in 4b Saturday morning. Good luck on your hunt and post pics when you can.

Maybe we will see you down there again Doug. I will let you know where we will be camped and holpefully you could swing by for a beer.

It can be a pain to adjust especially if you come up over a rise and you have your pin set for 40 yards thinking that is going to be how far he is and he ends up being 20. You can look at some site companies like sureloc, spott hogg or even copper john and get a multiple pin sliding sight, that way you can have your 20 through 40, 50 or 60 and use your bottome pin for any longer shots with the slide.

I was thinking the same thing... has to be the same person.

I would reccomend going to a shop and asking them to let you shoot a bow set up at 29 and 29.5 inch draw. With your wingspan measurement I would normally set someone up with a 29 inch draw so you can shoot with a slight bent arm. This will be alot more comfortable and you will probably be more consistant. You do not want to be stretched out to much since that will cause poor form and you would be more likely to catch your arm when shooting especially when shooting with a jacket on.
