It's the same every year I have hunted Arizona since 76. Colorado has been about the same. It's all about the girls and when they go into estrus. You can't set your watch by it. I see as much of the rut when I squirrel hunt in some years. The rut whether deer or elk changes every year and nobody has figured it out.

I never heard of Charlie Kirk until his death. I don't see how being killed by friendly fire has anything to do with it. I don't know, was Kirk the first civilian to ever receive military honors? I've know a few veterans. Some talk about it (combat) others won't. Maybe because I wasn't one. Registered (mandatory) for the draft in 69. heck of a lot of turmoil back then. Body counts were the norm, footage too, on the six o'clock news. Saw newsreel of a helo landing in a field, picking up wounded. VC ran up and tossed a grenade into it. Back then they gave the names of the casualties. That day it was an 18 yo man from my high school. Nicest guy you ever met. State wrestling champ. Loved by everyone. I was angry for a very very long time. I had enlisted too. On my induction day the doctor in charge looked at the psoriasis on my arms and booted me. Neither my buddies dad who was a 20 year Navy Net or the NY State Senator could waive it. Walk of shame. I hope you can get some solace out of all of this. We're all in it together and share a common love for our country even though we travel different paths.

Many such as Pat Tillman do but why muddy the waters? Sounds like you have an axe to grind.

She has been catching some flack lately.

Looks sweet. How much does it weigh as is?

Great movies. Everytime I watch one I want a knife.

Very Very Sad. So young with their whole life ahead of them. Prayers for their families.

I'd be looking more at energy than drop since at that range you are most likely using a rangefinder and dialing turrets.

You will get replies from A-Z. With that said remember that this is a site comprised of hunters.

I have not shot either but for a bench gun and game at or under 300 yards the ARC would be my choice. Less recoil and cheaper factory ammo. No idea on whether one is more accurate than the other. Here is a comparison from OL. https://www.outdoorlife.com/guns/22-arc-vs-22-creedmoor/

I read it was an 06 on a Mauser action so it may not ever have been registered.

Pheasant in Yuma (40B)
PRDATR replied to Yuma Outdoorsman's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
My son and I drew back in 2012 and went down and chased them as you described but in two days we were never close enough to get a shot off. The only other time I have seen them in AZ was back in the late 70's when one flew across the road into a citrus grove in Mesa. -
More drama then a 8th grade girls locker room.

I wouldn't go all Freud trying figure him out. You're more likely to count the grains of sand on a beach opposed to blame it on him being a gender bender. It's not like a precursor to being a whack job.

Yup. Yotes don't care, the metro ones are a bit more wary. Don't psych yourself out. I park and usually walk 100 to 200 yards and call. For me it's all about shooting lanes and terrain that gives me the upper hand. Just when you think, ok I've got them figured out. Boom you get schooled which is why it each stand is a new hunt.

So, were his parents divorced and his mother raised him?

Salmon yesterday, Halibut, Ling and Black Cod today and Albacore tomorrow.

Live anchovy freeline accounted 80% of the fish.

We had to scratch and grind today for Albacore. Left at 3am and went 50 miles south. 10 people on the charter. We each ended up with 3. Some broken lines and a few pulls hooks. 14 hour day on the water.

2 were kings. That run is basically over.

Great Job.
