Headed to Wilcox, hunting today and tomorrow. Will post updates

I love seeing crockers hunt. Great dogs.

Those dead elk feed the coyotes, foxes birds and bugs in Az, so are they truly lost? Sweating the small stuff is what game and fish is all about. Lost revenue is lost revenue.

great shot!

one of the pictures of her whole sibling group.

send me the location you were hunting and I will take my dog down and look for it. She is a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, aka The Gun Dog, she should be able to find it. Sorry for your loss.

Having just finished Hunter's Safety for the 5 time. (my 10yo just finished) I get the whole "for the good of the country.." thing. But what keeps coming back to me is the "These are your animals, you pay for the opportunity to hunt them, don't let others that aren't paying for them steal them." I know they mean poachers, but we still lost the opportunity to hunt them and their offspring. Fair market value might be more palatable. but if you If they would have said, the Harvest goal is 60 elk, and to harvest 60 elk we sell 300 tags plus licenses for 2000 people.(give them the resident rate and base it off of % draw and % harvest) 300*148= 44,400 2000*56= 112,000 1700*13= 22,100 $ 178,500.00 loss to our state. If we charged out of state fees 300*665= 199,500. 2000*160= 320,000. 1700* 13= 22,100. 541,600.00 If we want to hunt our elk in West Virginia, we will have to pay out of state rates.

The wait time differs if you buy it as an individual or with a trust or Corp. Individual are 4 to 5 months, trusts and Corp 8 to 11 months. Still worth doing the trust, imo

Yes. 140dB is OSHA's cutoff for impulse noise exposure in the employment setting, which is why 140dB has been chosen by silencer companies as the "hearing safe" ...

The suppressor will probably be more valuable on the exhaust, not as important on the intake....after that double double

Exposure time also factors in. If your rifle/suppressor combo is hearing safe, you don't need ears while hunting

Decibels are not on a linear scale, they are on a logarithmic scale. On a ruler, a distance of 20cm is twice as long as a distance of 10cm and 30cm is three times as long. But the logarithmic decibel scale goes up in powers of ten: every increase of 10dB on the scale is equivalent to a 10-fold increase in sound intensity (which broadly corresponds with a doubling in loudness) Normal conversation is about 60 dB, a lawn mower is about 90 dB, and a loud rock concert is about 120 dB. In general, sounds above 85 are harmful, depending on how long and how often you are exposed to them and whether you wear hearing protection, such as earplugs or earmuffs. 120db is painful, and about 32 times as loud as 70db. A high powered rifle (300winmag, 243.....) is about 155db.. add a muzzle-brake and it goes up to 165db. I either have my kids shoot suppressed or with plugs and sometimes muffs too. I dont want them hearing crickets 24/7 like I do. Mine is from jet engines.

My 2 daughters killed cow elk last fall with suppressed rifles. 3 of my nephews killed deer and elk the year before. Shooting suppressed is the way to go. Recoil reduction like a muzzle brake plus you get 25-35dbl sound reduction. Accuracy improves, and improves situational awareness over wearing plugs.

Up for sale, a gently used Swarovski Habicht 6-24x50 with one sun shade and the see-through scope caps. I do not have the box or paperwork, I got the scope on a custom rifle. It is Second Focal Plane with the TDS-4 reticle with a 30mm tube I found this data for the The TDS-4 on www.swarovskioptik.com I put in my info for a 7mm Rem Mag with 140gr Winchester Silver Ballistic Tips and here is the reticle with it at 24power. 1st bar = 100 2nd bar =225 3rd bar = 355 4th bar = 477 5th bar = 616 It was mounted but I dont see any ring marks. The optics are pristine. 1000.00 obo no trades at this time.

I have taken 2 of these beauties that were sporterized and converted them to .45ACP. Sort of like the De Lisle Carbine. 1 is a SBR with a suppressor and the other has an integral suppressor built on to it. They both are stupid quiet, with the integral being much quieter then the SBR.

its a Glock. All firearms are Glocks

you could have said, "Oh, I watch you sleep." Stalker alert.

It's preferable however I have a Tacoma and many times all 5 seats are full. Mule tape and cargo nets and tarps serve me well

yikes. The word of the day is Cargo nets! Pass it on.

are those 10rd magazines?

How much? Interested for my daughter
