From this weeks fishing report. A pair of anglers who fished on Thursday and Friday, repspectively, sent in the following success stories from Riggs Flat Lake near Safford: Kevin Q: Fishing was excellent this past week. Both my son (above) and I got our limit within two hours. All rainbow in the 11-13-inch range on PowerBait floated about 18 inches off the bottom. The pH must still be off as there is a ton of growth in the water just off shore. But there are several spots by the dam where the drop off is significant and you can get your line in without snags. Daniel W.: The fishing at Riggs Flat Lake is outstanding. Brightly colored PowerBait like lime green or hot pink. We were catching about 10-15 an hour even in midday. (Riggs Flat Lake is located on the top of the Pinaleño Mountains, 40 miles southwest of Safford. Directions: From Safford, drive south 8 miles on US 191 to AZ 366. Turn right (southwest) onto 366 and drive 29 miles to the Columbine Work Center. Continue along Forest Roads 803 and 287 about 5 miles to the campground. The last 12 miles of this road are narrow and winding. See more information on Riggs Flat Lake from the Coronado National Forest website.)

I posted that Bergdahl was a traitor, and should be tried for treason, and put to death by a firing squad. POOF. post was gone in no time. The dude must be sitting behind his FB page 24/7 monitoring us trolls. Bashing the Lib's on blogs is great entertainment. It's amazing how many of them still have a hard on for Bush. (pardon the pun) In all of the video's I have seen of him it looks like nobody's home. The Mom looked like she was in LaLa Land when she and her hubby were on Nat TV with Obama and his comments in Arabic were very disturbing. You would think if you were going before cameras you would wear a tie and clean yourself up.

Jeff look at getting a scope specifically for rimfire or muzzleloader as the parallex is set to 50 yards. And is you can find something with 3-4" of eye relief that will be ideal as kids tend to creep up on the stock and turn their head on an angle.

Not for game but we did this all the time back in the day. I would go into a wash and dig a hole, then put a 5 gallon bucket into it to catch reptiles, insects and such. Never a big deal back then as most hunters could still walk and chew gum at the same time.

I have always had my 700 in 7 Mag sighted in 3" high at 100 yards using a VXll in 4-12 and this has worked very well for 20 years. Last year however Camerland had sale on the Zeiss Conquest with the Rapid Zee reticle so after looking through the same scope for over two decades I decided it was time to upgrade. The first crosshair is 200 yards and I sighted it in to be 1" high at 200 which worked well on my Coues last year which I shot at 216 yards. This rifle stays in the safe all year and only gets used for hunting. I take it out the week before the hunt a shoot one or two rounds through it to check zero and that's it. The rifle is fairly heavy so this year my goal is to see if I can lighten it up a bit.

It's all fun and games until the PH bails as the Dugga Boy charges the old fat guy pissin in his drawers trying to figure out if his safety is on. Get's even more interesting when the intended yellow eyed quarry has a dark mane.

hey thanks for the reply, but my idiot friend just got the 15x56 vortex Vultures ....... he wont glass anything up On the bright side he probably won't loose too much money when he sells them.

Patrick, Does it come with the bipod and if so what make is it? Tell me about the stock? What about the recoil pad? Is it Cerro Coated (sp)? Who did the bolt work and fitted/chambered the barrel? What velocities is that barrel putting out and what is the weight of the rifle? Do you have any targets you can post?

I have heard similar from a friend who worked in S Korea.

I was going to drop it off last night on the way home from work but with the boss on vacation I felt it would be better to spend some extra time in the office just in case something came up and ended up doing it online in the morning. It went very smoother and only took a few minutes. I see now that the system crashed, for whatever reason, so it has been extended another 24 hours.

I read it was sold in 2012. I'd say contact G&F and they should be able to put you in touch with the owner if you're looking to get permission to hunt it.

Go see if Sprauges or Walmart will price match. Then there is always Buds Guns and Gunbroker.

IBTL.

Totalist wins. CC was 5th.

It is 4:53 and the horses are going to the gate. I used to go and walk around the track when I lived on Long Island. It going to be a heck of a race.

Sign up for an Early Ballot and mail it in.

I have rented from them twice without any problems. They ship fast and include a return pre-paid label. Both times I rented Swarvoski 15's and they came in a pelican case with the adapter. You can call and talk to them and they are very easy going. I live in the east valley so renting from them saved me the gas money and drive time to Ross so it was just a matter of convenience for me but I have also rented Rangefinders from Ross and had a great experience.

You can google them.

There will be plenty of time for that. Monsoons usually roll in about the 4th of July.

I don't think doing the course online was an alternative back in 1998 when my kids went through it. I really feel that kids will get a 1000X more out of the course if they can go to one where there are other people there. They will meet other people and kids who also learning the in's and out's of shooting which is the basis of hunting. When they are in a classroom environment with a bunch of other people it really takes the pressure off and people open up and ask questions that some people may want to ask but don't because they don't want to be perceived as someone that doesn't know everything. These instructors are well trained and while we as parents have a lot of knowledge, we have a tendency to put too much pressure on our kids and it can be a big problem for them because they just want to live up to our expectations of success which can really ruin a hunt and turn them off. One positive thing of going to a class is they get to meet and see other people that are just like them.

Yup, seen that photo quite a few times. It didn't go over so well in France though.
