    ISIS and a Dirty Bomb is a very real threat. The next coordinated attack will be an all or nothing attack and is going to make 911 look like a kids birthday party.

    DOVE SEASON

    It started off slow but as it got closer to sunrise the birds started showing up. My son had to work and I had the day off so I made the best of it. After two hours I used up the 60 or so shells I brought which were a mish marsh of old shells I had collected over the years. I even had one Active shell, but I didn't shoot it. All in all I came up with 34 doves, 2 White Wings, 11 Mourning Doves and 21 Collard Doves. There were lots of pigeons but I didn't have any #6 shot.

  4. That looks like some sort of Horn Worm Catapillar and the spider looks like a female. Excellent picture.

    Havasu last weekend

    Big fish. What rod is that Calcutta on?

    forest road 201

    Never hunted it myself but since it is so visible I would think it gets quite a bit of action.

    My therapeutic deer hunt

    That is pretty awesome. Just being in the woods with family makes it all worth it somehow.

    Flatline Maps - CW Folks Asked for Them

    Good news for the east valley. I'm waiting for the Unit 32 one to come out.

    Uzi Tragedy

    I know exactly what you mean as my son did that very thing, once. Completely caught me off guard but I never let it happen again. Don't mind saying it scared the crap out of me at the time even though it was a single six 22 and I was standing 6" behind him with my hands almost toughing his elbows.

    Nice. What size line are you using on that Calcutta 30?

    300+ yard Range?

    Adam, Rio shut down foot access to the 300 yard range a couple of years ago after an incident. There are gongs there to shoot at but at the main public range you can only run targets out to the 200 yard distance.

    Can you park there and hike in to hunt?

    Video of AZ Super Raffle Bull

    The video is nice and sharp but I'm not a fan of heavy metal music and couldn't get past 4:19 without turning it off.

    Poltergeist Ford

    The more I think about it my thoughts are it is in the ignition switch. If the solenoid was faulty it would just engage the starter. The coil needs to be hot in order for it to remain running and for both the solenoid and coil to get voltage it has to eminate back at the ignition switch. If you can get an owners manual from Haynes they usually have the wiring diagrams in the back of the book. I don't believe those old trucks had any computers on them yet.

    Poltergeist Ford

    Ford made life easier for mechanics when they installed the solenoid relay on the fender wall and not on the starter. So it is easy, and cheap to replace. I've done my fair share of mechanic work and would be happy to take a look at it. I had a 76 with a 390 so I know a little about these trucks. If it sat for a long time and you smelt burnt wires I'd be suspecting mice have been nibbling away on the wires but you never know.
  16. Sherman, You will need a $5 Migratory/Waterfowl Stamp to hunt Dove which you can get at any G&F Retailer. You also need to plug your shotgun.
  17. Who owns one? Do they need constant attention? They seem to be smart as a whip, and maybe smarter than some people I know. I looking for more of a companion then a working dog.

    26 Nosler

    Make a pot of coffee and read this. http://forum.snipershide.com/snipers-hide-bolt-action-rifles/221658-26-nosler.html
  20. Earlier this year I looked through a pair alongside Swarovski's at Ben Avery and could tell a difference. 10's are great, 12's are better, 15's are even better to say 12's are better that 15's is like saying 400 Horsepower is better than 450 Horsepower or three sticks of dynamite is better than five. Makes zero sense, but to each their own.

    cleaning deer - need help please 6A

    Yup, that's about what it looked like. I had two choices, go to Desert Sam, sit there all night and pay through the nose or stitch it up myself.

    Crossbow Hunting?

    I don;t have one but Barnet seems to be the gold standard.

    Hodgdon 223 Powder

    I had not heard about so I had to look it up. I know H335 has been popular but I liked H322 (both much faster burning)as in my 14" Contender it did not leave little pieces of unburnt powder like the H335 did.

    cleaning deer - need help please 6A

    I have a pair I use around the kitchen on occasion after chopping the top of my finger off one Saturday night a few years ago. Toughest part was trying to keep my son from freaking out as I stitched it back together.
