    This will be one heck of a year! If shedhunteraz is offering, you'd be wise to accept his/her assistance. They know 23 very well and are genuinely nice folks. both statements are true.

    Getting started elk hunting with Unit 23

    I had this tag last year. My secret was the scout any time to learn the roads and the best glassing points that way you can find them in the dark. Then arrive 3 days early and glass from said glassing points. Find one you like. Sit on him till opening morning. Opening morning kill him and hope your friends are as awesome and as strong as mine were. After the rut bulls scatter. So untill after the rut don't scout bulls, scout glassing points.
  8. Selling my fox pro wildfire with fox jack2 and a carry case. Used in perfect working order. This set up has made me a very effective predator hunter. Though I have decided to give up predator hunting. $200
  9. Kinda hard to put into words. But its starting to feel like i m killing an animal just for fun. As opposed to killing an animal to eat it. Its a little deeper than that but thats the jist.
  10. Check your lease. I'd guess you'd want most over night guess to leave early the next day any way.

    Interpreting Groups

    Haven't shot off a vice. If you mean a led sled? I used one a long time ago but never felt that confident shooting from it. a vice or lead sled is a good way to seperated a poor load from a user/equipment issue. It will never make good practice but its help full to verify the loads strait before regular practicing.

    Have you tested this load off a vice??
  13. Its pretty obvious the dept/state/fed could careless What any detractors have to say about the repopulation of wolfs in Arizona. Speaking your mind at a meeting to a bunch of blow hards who already have their mind made up will do little good. The only real way to stop the wolf program is to shoot wolfs on sight. Then shoot any one who comes around asking questions about dead wolfs. This is not somthing I recommended we/any one do. But other wise we are in for an increased population of wolfs in Arizona.

    CORRECTION to Free Turkey Hunting Seminar

    I was there. I though it was informative.
  16. N me too . But at my work I'm not a wild life expert who killed an endangered animal. Up to now I've been some what supportive of the dept. But my opinions will be shaped by the punishment handed out. If I accidentally shot a wolf tomorrow and there's a different punishment I think we can all agree that's crap. What if you had been tasked with eliminating another species of wolf that looked very similar and made an honest mistake? He was told to shoot other squirrels on site. It's not like he was out shooting whatever moved for fun. Incidental take as part if a larger recovery effort is not the same as intentional take or take as a result of unrelated activities...nor should it be. There is a reason "incidental take" is a defined term under section 7 of the ESA. who gets to decide what species gets eliminated and what species gets to live?It's outlined in the recovery plan approved by USFW and administered by either the federal or state agency, whichever is assigned to that particular population. Here, the elimination of competing squirrels is sanctioned as part of the recovery plan. The accidental take of the target species as part of official the official recovery plan is designated as an "incidental take." If the take meets the legal definition of an incidental take (which it appears was likely the case here) then there will not be any individual punishment. What's the difference between an agent doing it and you or me? Well, we don't have the authority under the ESA to take the actions that could potentially result in this type of incidental take. The shooting of a red squirrel that's not related to a sanctioned recovery action would be per se actionable. I'll bow out of the conversation because I'll never be convinced the while attempting to wipe out one animal from an area its acceptable to accidentally kill the animal your trying to protect.

  19. i wouldnt hold your breath "While the accidental taking of any endangered species is, of course, regrettable, our wildlife manager in the field self-reported his actions as early and as ethically as possible," ive heard of people "self reporting" and get the whole library thrown at them.
  20. If its a recoil problem. I have m77mk2 in 300wm. All the women in my family prefer it over all my bolt guns. Its got a hogue rifle stock on it. Its very tame. Just a thought
