  1. Nobody worth their salt is going to shoot cast bullets in a 7Mag since they are limited to under 2000fps. Waste of powder and lead unless your in the Upper Penninsula in January.
  2. H3ll yeah. I taught my son to drive my truck when he was about 8. Never know when they will have to actually to do it if you can't.

    I know you said she doesn't hunt but is that because she is gun shy?
  4. If he shoots the BT99 well why not get him one of those? Are there any gunsmith/stock builders left out there any more who can fit a stock for eye alignment? I know there used to be some National Shoots up at Ben Avery around this time of year. Lots of world class shooters who are willing to help out a youngster. I wouldn't jump into it buying him a gun just to get him something for Christmas. Good luck to you and your son in finding the right gun. Nothing wrong in shooting a 20ga. If he really gets into it he will want a K80 with tubes in 410. 28, 20 and 12 gauge. Then you need a Ponneses Warren.

    Nikon P-223 3x32 scope

    The BSA did have some decent reviews on SWFA. http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=OS223312X40A

    Nikon P-223 3x32 scope

    I have been looking at them for a while too, just have not gotten around to getting one. http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentId=productDetail&prodId=NK8496&green=7653565A-C523-5A26-AA5A-D78AF613092D
  7. I have one with a 24" barrel I bough back in the early 90's and it shoots most everything under an inch at 100 yards.

    Any chemists or hazmat guys here?

    Good to hear. I know that chemical storage is a real challenge especially for homeowners who are unaware of the dangers of storing things like chlorine, acid and gasoline in the same location.

    Meat Processors

    Millers Southwest has been around forever and they do great work. There is a company that makes sausage for most of the local supermarkets that also will make you up sausage but I don't think they will process a complete animal. Sorry but I can't remember the name but they are on the West Side of Phoenix. Maricopa County Community College District teaches a meat cutter class and also takes in animal but I don't know the price. Just don't be like the guy who brought in a whole animal because they will not field dress it for you.

    Where to buy ammo?

    This is a pretty good resource and about as close to real time as you can get. http://www.gunbot.net/ammo/rimfire/22lr/http://www.gunbot.net/ammo/rimfire/22lr/ I know that Tractor Supply is moving into the state but it will probably be at least late spring 2014 before any of their stores are built. I understand that also carry ammo.

    Any chemists or hazmat guys here?

    Did you search for MSDS on them? You can check with the Fire Department which may be able to help.

    Average Height for Coues

    I tagged out early Saturday morning In Unit 33 on a small 3x3. I'm guessing that I got about 40#'s of meat when I boned him out in the field. He taped out as follows; Chest - Shoulder to Chest 13". Girth 32" Height - Toe to shoulder 30" Length - Chest to Butt 35"

    Any luck?

    I saw half a dozen does on Thursday after I set up camp. Friday I saw about 20 does while glassing. They were in groups of 2-5 and I only saw three fawns. Yesterday morning I managed a small 3x3 and took him at 216 yards at a little after 7am.

    Tag Frustrations....

    Good luck to you and your daughter David. Way to stick with it and hopefully the roads will be a little more dried out by tomorrow. I'll be headed out on the Redington Rd early Thursday morning and hope it isn't going to be too muddy.

    Blinds

    They get stolen quite often and the Forest Service will take them after 72 hours. I don't have or use one but it seems like most of them are now the popup kind and can be set up in a couple of minutes.

    Coyotes with hounds?

    I'm not sure of the legality of it here in AZ but I have seen websites where people post pics all the time. I would thing a couple of Grayhounds would be the ticket. Just make sure your dogs are up on their shots and dust them so they don't get fleas.

    Lost rights to possess firearms.....

    Black Powder is a firearm. Don't even think about it if he can't possess one he probably can't handle one either. But if he feels like it is worth the risk then good luck but like Scooter pointed out, whoever gives him one will be in deep dodo along with him. That also includes BB guns and the like. Have him go and see if he can get his rights restored but he is most definitely not legal to do so. When and if he does get them restored he would be smart to keep some documentation with him.

    Late Riffle Bull

    Chains will get you out of mud if you get into it. But you shouldn't need them on all the time.

    Sold!

    I know. Not a peep out of him. I don't know if he sold it to someone off this site or if I got duped by shurtzgarret. Definitely not cool.

    Unit 30B

    Sorry your hunt was a but but I commend you on making an effort to hunt it. Your situation is one reason I don't sit water.
