CouesPursuit

I have one in hand so matching it up at Ace is appearing to be the option. Thanks.

Shooters World is a bit of a drive but thank you for the idea. Lenharts (Ace) bolt room in Mesa was an afternoon stop if no one had the factory set.

+1 Meopta B1 > Non-HD Swaro imo.

Pretty easy. I've done 4 Savages that included a Bell and Carlson stock with an aluminum block, Boyds wood, and one higher-end Savage tupperware. I used blue painters tape for the recoil lug and stock edges and Play-Doh to fill in everything I didn't want compound getting into but it dries out if you are doing the project beyond a days work, modeling clay is better. Devcon 10110 is the best compound, especially $-wise for 4 stocks. I really liked using several layers of Hornady One Shot as a release agent. No mess or fuss. I used action screws covered in red bearing grease and gently set them to 15 lbs. Food for thought and especially if you don't have a smooth barrel nut, even a small amount of compound in a ridge of the nut (or anywhere) will lock the action to the stock. Fill any nut ridges or edges on the action not facing down with Play-Doh/clay. Triple check before you marry the action/stock and clean out any overflowing compound immediately with qtips, etc. In addition to roughing everything up with a dremel on any stock, I drilled some shallow holes in my plastic stock project and it worked really well for me.

His instict to not shoot when he had the fever and to pursue when he felt it was right sounds like he has many successful hunts in his future, near and far. Great job, Phil and Mason!

Fantastic work to the whole family and pup. Great job and great buck. I'd shoot him over a mule deer any day!

Congrats boys, looks like you scared 'em to death.

They're all white on the inside.

Archery Headquarters regained my business this year. I can't speak poorly enough about the others.

Have these same maps worked before? Bad geolocation potentially in those maps if others work.

I recognize most of them critters, excellent work as always!

The #1 fish worth frying in Arizona. Actual livewell of dinner fish tbh, turbid Roosy in April.

Camp setup, that looks like a .22 shooting gallery setup! Sweet.

The elk hunt planning team had a Friday fish fry. We decided in bringing ground deer for a homemade meat sauce so chili got some nice cuts for a pleasant change.

May I ask, were the tigers in Willow Springs but not Black Canyon?

Not much of a sports fan and I can appreciate that too. Nice!

It's been crappie/fishing season and I have my first early archery bull hunt coming up next week. I haven't been into my rifles this year but I'll report back later this fall.

If you ever come through Mesa I have 2 lbs of H1000 for 2lbs of H4895.

Who is normally in Clints Well and any feedback? Are they there every year? Thx.

I'm not too surprised but it is certainly interesting discussion. Mule are easier to kill than coues deer. Deer are easier to kill when it's dry. I suspect more 1-2 year-old deer were killed near a road or water than any other situation. I believe mule deer are in trouble for a variety of reasons and unchecked OTC harvest hasn't been helping. If units can't stay open for a week, they cannot stay OTC. Perhaps coues stay OTC and mule deer go all draw in years to come? Unfortunately many people's suspicions were true. I'm glad heads are no longer in the sand and the numbers are here.

To help answer one question, refer to and meet the legal definition "Bull elk means an antlered elk. Antlered means having an antler fully erupted through the skin and capable of being shed. Antlerless means any elk, any age, without antlers." Keep the antlerless head or bull antlers with some form of flesh and a tag on it in one of the proper places illustrated on the tag itself. Not sure about E Tags yet.

If someone buys this and wants an even trade toward the upgraded version, let me know. Basically brand new replacement that I don't use often and preferred this model for the bottom zipper access when I do. Amazingly light pack for carrying small-medium loads. GLWS.

Agreed and to which I think the wet monsoon played a role. Tough for most archers to kill a coues deer without sitting water or using cameras. This year should be different.

Well done guys. Good luck!

"Recognizing the critical role that sportsmen and sportswomen have played, and continue to play, in wildlife restoration and conservation in the area, the proclamation requires that a monument advisory committee include representation from both the sportsmen and sportswomen community, as well as representation from the Arizona Game and Fish Department. It also directs the monument advisory committee to include representation from the ranching community. The proclamation respects existing livestock grazing permits on lands within the monument. The national monument designation recognizes and respects valid existing rights." They make it sound good.
