    Archery Hunting within 1/4 mile of a building

    For some, yes. For others its about food on the table. Theres no wrong way to eat an elk roast. Urban hunts enhance your wilderness experience. All the meat hunters will be in the green belts.

    Archery Hunting within 1/4 mile of a building

    When i showed up to our regional meeting and argued about this, i was told that our "demographic" was changing and we needed to be mindful and respectful of people who don' like hunting, and that was the reason for this ruling. I was also told that people were shooting deer in pine and prescott from the road in other peoples yards (which is already illegal) and this also contributed to the law. This is pure foolishness. Our mountain towns are so congested with wildlife it's ridiculous. Most states have an urban hunting program of some sort, yet our commissioners, are playing for the raw vegans more and more often. Arizona needs urban hunting like no other right now. Elk are in my yard nearly every night tearing things up, and we live in an area that 30 years ago didn't have elk. When i spoke to one field officer, he complained of having to chase down trespassers who were hunting on private property and liked the law. In essence, he was complaining that he had to work when he got to work. Trespassing is already illegal, i don't think the 1/4 mile rule is going to stop drunk phoenix college kids from shooting deer in people's yards in pine. It's already illegal. And to hear a g&f officer gripe about having to cite them. What did he sign up for? to sit in his truck and drink starbucks and listen to keke all day? get ready for more fun stuff like this.

    Ruidoso NM?

    I had lunch there after riding my bicycle last spring. Beautiful area. Every vehicle was an Escalade with Texas plates. Lots of good places to eat.

    Hitting Cards

    We got 22 or 23 youth.
  7. Rodney Rudd is your contact name for correct info on this topic. It was Rodney I talked to. Maybe I shouldnt have been to hard on them, I dont know. Their bows have awesome reviews. I just thought their marketing ploy was a little cheesy. Rodney didnt know me from my great aunt Ethel, and his first reply to me was to sign me on as a pro staffer, for $150 off a bow and a t-shirt. Maybe I missed my opportunity...lol
  8. I was bow shopping a year or two ago and shot them an email to see if there was a local dealer where I could test drive one. I was looking for a side gig at the time and offered to be a sales rep. They emailed back and offered me a $150 off a bow and said I could be a pro staffer. I thought that was kind of cheesy. $150 off makes me pro staff. If Im pro staff, I want a lot more than a coupon. Maybe Im too skeptical, I dont know. Something didnt seem legit. So, not being able to shoot one, I went with Pse. I would have liked to shoot one, though.

    Synthetics vs wool

    Wool underlayer, synthetic outer layers. Im a huge fan of smart wool, and I have some nice wool sweaters too. I just ordered a Pendleton wool shirt too. But I like synthetic for jackets and pants.

    Flatlander for the new committee.

    Thanks for clearing that up. I misunderstood the nature of this thread.

    Flatlander for the new committee.

    I have no doubt there is some corruption in the system. However, I simply refuse to give up and not try because of it. I just sent an e-mail to all of the commissioners recommending Andrew . I don't know that it will make a difference but I will know that I tried. To me that makes a difference.Ive been told Gougenhour from Payson has been up for commission twice, but never got a single vote simply because hes not an insider. The guy is legit and will listen to reason, but thats not what they want. I Hope its not true.

    Flatlander for the new committee.

    from what i understand, we have no chance of getting an honest commissioner. i've been told, the commission recommends the candidates, and it's a 100 percent hand picked inside job. Nobody who does not have ties to big time ranches and guides has any chance of getting the job. anybody want to chime in on this?

    Payson Realtors

    Oh, last week there was a hud in beaver valley for 110k. I didnt have time to mess with it. It needed work, including septic.

    Payson Realtors

    I probably know 75% of the realtors up here on a first name basis. Id get strung up if I recommended just one. Nothing is cheap right now. Check our Star valley, Mesa del, and Gisela for price point. Shoot me a pm and Ill recommend one or three. Just dont make it public...

    Carpet cleaner guy?

    -funny this should come up, i sold my carpet cleaning company a month ago to Sunshine Cleaning Systems, who is in Payson and Fountain Hills. 928-474-2521 If you are out of their area, i used Golden Touch Carpet Cleaning, and/or Joel Riggs for referrals in the metro area. Sounds like the guy above may be a good catch; carpet cleaning is a lost art, most valley companies are nothing but "splash and dash" type operations. Also, buying nylon carpet helps.
  17. Anyone have experience with the browning x-bolt hells canyon long range hunter? Thinking about one in 28 Nosler, and is the Mcmillan stock a worthy $600 upgrade?

    SOLD!

    You know the old joke, I got a bass boat for my wife, best trade Ive ever made!! Ive never in my life heard anyone be offended at that, or even take that the wrong way. Im sorry you were offended, Ill delete it if you want.
  19. bojangles

    SOLD!

    Yes, its a joke. You can laugh too!! I really didnt think you would get rid of your wife for a tripod. Its not a dirty joke, either, not by any means. Im poking fun of the way you worded your ad. Its funny. Do you expect me never to laugh because Im a believer and love my kids? Loosen up, and good luck with the sale.

    SOLD!

    What am I doing with a late archery tag?

    Well, you wont be sitting on the couch. A bad day hunting is better than a good day watching football.
  22. I have. not sure 280ai packs enough punch for the purpose of this gun. I'm looking for something that i may take to alaska someday. the savage comes in 338 lapua, and that is on the table, but ammo is expen$ive.... 28 nosler hits as hard as the lapua at 1000 yards. decisions, decisions. my gunsmith said and recommended that changing a '06 to a 280ai is a matter of a barrel swap. seems legit, but '06 ammo is cheap and falling out of the trees. hard to give that up.

    YETI drops NRA

    lol, i ain't buyin' it.
  24. Thanks. Not too many production pieces in 28 Nosler. But for the price I got lured into a Ruger American magnum in 300 win mag. Supposedly a tack driver too. We will see.
