Unfortunately I can only give this to one person. Lol.

I’m for not taking your truck off road. Get an atv or a side by side for that. How bad do you want to beat up your truck? The sxs just takes it with ease. i drive an lbz duramax, no issues. Plenty of power if you need it. Solid Allison transmission. I just can’t afford the mechanic’s bill for a Ford.

It’s a dating app for narcissists and busybodies. duh.

Yeah but 97% of scientists say.... funny how In the northern hemisphere summer they always show pictures of the arctic melting and in the southern hemisphere summer they always show the pictures of the Antarctic ice melting. But they never show it during the climate winter. that, and little things, like the ice roads still freeze and melt at the same time each year.

Would be awesome for your elk or deer camp.

I hear ya, but not sure this is any where near the biggest in 100 years. I’ve heard locals say we got 6 feet in ‘67. I’ve lived here 22 years, and recall a couple of dumps that were at least close to this one. I remembered one year, around 01ish, sunrise was purported to have the deepest base in the lower 48, I think it was 108”.

https://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/blogs/dan-schmidt-deer-blog-whitetail-wisdom/cwd-researcher-state-urine-bans-are-illogical https://www.themeateater.com/listen/wired-to-hunt/ep-267-bowhunting-urban-deer-with-taylor-chamberlin Seems like we've lost some ground in recent times via AZGFD's hunting laws. While at our regional meeting, i was told by an AZGFD official that hunting laws must become more restrictive to accommodate the new "California" demographic that now inhabits our state. He was referring to the new 1/4 mile bowhunting law. While much of the country enjoys urban bowhunting zones, even in libtard Washington DC; we here in AZ possibly may no longer enjoy urban hunting. It's bunk. It's lazy management, caving into pressure from the anti's. While i've never used cervid urine to attract animals, and probably never will, i know a lot of guys who are believers. But now it's illegal, based on junk science. I'm often surprised how there's not more of an uproar in the hunting community over these new restrictive laws. In blue states, hunters would torch the capitol over some of these laws. It's a shame. I will fight it tooth and nail. Join the fight.

Today, no urban hunting, tomorrow hounds, then cats, then bears, then archery, then all hunting. Do you think sport hunting will exist in 40 years? i know a lot of guys that don’t hunt in urban areas, but then I know a lot that do. Honestly, I could see a 100 yard rule. That makes sense, a little comfort for neighbors. But a 1/4 mile seems excessive in today’s developed landscape. Also, it’s nice to have urban zones, like a lot of states. It’s kind of like catch and release waters for trout. Something reserved for the bow hunters, where the rifle guys haven’t blasted things to smitherines. Whats more, you’d be surprised how many people literally want me to shoot elk in their yards. Watch the video above, I think there’s a lot of unwarranted paranoia about urban hunting, but many people wholeheartedly accept it. And, it’s a lot harder than what you think, a lot of people think of your near a house it’s like shooting fish in a barrel. Let me tell you, it’s not. -

Yeah, but should we just roll over? I know an old dude that bow hunts off his back porch, cause that’s all he can muster. Now he’s got to ask his neighbor for permission. Frustrating. -

The rule is against cervid deer urine, I believe. But, as noted by the biologists, the whole thing is a misrepresentation of science. -

Supposedly just passed. We will see when the deer regs come out. -

only for rifle hunts. Urban bowhunting has been legal in Arizona until April 6, 2019, as i've been told. Now it's illegal, "because of our changing demographic", as i was told by our unit manager. Urban hunting is a staple in our hunting economy, that's why we have crossbows. (not legal in archery season, of course) But to say that this is now wrong, is ridiculous. One of the case points was that a homeowner found an arrow in the side of his house in pine. This was used in argument for the rule change. However, just because someone has an arrow in the side of their house, doesn't mean urban hunting should be banned. What it means is, their neighbor needs a better backstop when he's sighting in his broad heads. -

cervid urine was banned a few years ago. 1/4 mile just passed, as i've been told. i haven't seen it in the regs yet. we will see. It has passed already in certain hunt units, not sure if it's statewide yet. I know it was up for vote as a statewide rule, can't find confirmation if it passed or not. I will edit the "can" to "may" cause i'm not sure yet. -
i've run into a slight surplus of 12 gauge waterfowl ammo, and a slight deficit of 20 gauge waterfowl ammo. I've got some kent fast steel #1 in 12, and a few older boxes of remington and federal waterfowl ammo, and i'd like to trade a couple of boxes of 12 for a couple of boxes of 20, looking for #1 or similar. i'm in the payson area. if you are local, or happen to be passing through, and would like 20 for 12 in a trade, let me know.

I had a bittersweet archery hunt. In december i hunted muleys, but the bucks didn't show themselves until 26th. I put on a couple of good stalks, but without a spotter, it was a shot in the dark. Every time i dropped off the edge on a buck, i was in the wrong spot and got busted. I stalked a decent 4x4, but got bested. I had a forked horn at 30 yards, then 10 yards on a couple different occasions, but i was reluctant to draw. So January rolled around, and i headed high for whitetail. First week or so was slow, then i found i had a coyote problem. After they moved on, the deer started showing themselves. I ranged a large buck, near 100' at 78 yards, behind me. The doe he was dogging came in to 60 yards. If he had followed her, i'd be buying another bonus point. Instead he started to walk away from me. I held for 80, and missed a smidge low. It was along poke, but it felt good when i let it fly. I've practiced extensively at 80, and shoot pretty well. Unfortunately, the buck was closer to 86-88 yards. Frustrating. I was able to get out for a few hours, a week later, and a smaller buck came in. He was probably a 3 1/2 year old. but i was cold, and hungry, and he wouldn't sit still. I drew, but every time he stopped, i didn't have a shot. I held as long as i could, but i was shaking like crazy when he finally stepped out at 45 and gave me a shot. I couldn't get the pin locked on his vitals, so i just let down. I was hoping he would present another shot, but he played cat and mouse with me for another 15-20 minutes and never presented another shot. That was it for me.
