Another good one is the Bighorn III from Cabela's, it is 12x14 and doesn't have the center pole, has a hole for a stove pipe and you can get a heat shield to attach to it that covers a little more of the tent to keep sparks from making holes, it weighs about 75 lbs with poles & stakes. I also have the 12x12 Outback Lodge, sets up the same as the Alaknak but only weighs 25 lbs, I use it for the most part, and when it gets cold I use the Bighorn II (can't attach the additional heat shield like the III). It sure is nice not having the pole in the middle, I would use it more if it didn't weigh so much. Both tents are great 1 or 2 man camps because I can have everything in them - stove, lantern, heater, cots, etc. If you want to run your gas stuff you need to get the 2 piece propane tree to use in the Alaknak & Outback Lodge, the walls/ceiling are too close otherwise.

I like the first and last hunts best, either get on em before they know the game is on or after things have calmed down and not as many people in the field.

Couple young men, young compared to me anyway, backpack in and take a goodie that scores over 110, how much over - more than 2....... Really nice buck with a lot of character that would make it well worth the sweat expended.

Nice story, great Dad!

Hate to disagree with you but I have a hide from a 3 legged lion - and she raised 3 cubs. Came from Wy in 2001, a friend caught her the previous year in a trap is how she lost the right front foot. My cousin and I killed her and one of the cubs, he was about 18 months old as a guess as it was about the same size, and we watched the other 2 run off.

fist fight, footrace or spittin contest - your choice buddy.........

I mailed mine in on the 18th, Any Antlered in the Dec muzzle loader hun west of Phxt. I know, there are only mule deer in the units but if I don't draw I can probably pick up a left-over for the Oct hunts in one of the border units. If not that's fine too, I get to guide for Coues so either way I get to hunt them.

The lawsuits were threatened by people that had heads that failed, in some cases miserably, and they didn't like have the results posted with pictures for all to see.

I've been to quite a few ruins around the state, unfortunately my pics were all taken with a 35mm. Haven't been to those in the Matazals but have hit them by Aztec Peak, Sierra Ancha's, Turkey Creek, Coon Creek, S Fork Cooper's Creek, West Clear Creek, couple different spots along the Verde, Agua Fria, Cherry Creek and several different petroglyph sites. When I am out hunting game goes free for a while if I stumble across an arrowhead.

Good for you Amanda! You are a great person no matter what Linda says about you. Cheri and I both qualify, she did 8 years and I did 7 but rather than try and get the tickets I would like see you give them to some kids that haven't been out as long, been over 20 years for both of us. If you get a bunch of requests I would suggest you have a hierarchy giving the tickets from the earliest to the latest concerning separation dates. Let the kids that have had bullets launched at them recently go the the head of the line.

Not near the elk in Jellystone as there used to be.

We teach 'first come first served' in Hunter Ed classes. I agree with afternoon drinks too, have seen happen on a few occasions.

I was just wondering what the heck he was talking about.........

Then dump water on it and get the salt to start melting into the ground, may need to make a couple trips with water depending on how much salt you put down.

Okay, now I know what you are talking about. Good for you for signing up for the NG and taking steps for joining the BP. You are to be commended for your initiative. As I stated earlier, it is not only the message but how it is presented that will get results - positive or negative.

WardsOutfitters - if you would like to get a larger audience to view your broadheads and be tested in real world situations look into Archers Edge website. Kris has been testing broadheads for many years and gives a good test. Due to lawsuits from some manufacturers he changed it so he doesn't perform the tests anymore, but has guys around the country do them and he posts the results. The head will be tested for flight, strength, edge retention, through bone and on game animals, usually a couple of them since most of the testers are in states that allow multiple deer.

How the message is delivered will have as much or more impact as the message. And what exactly is it that we should do? Many of us have voted for many years, been active in organizations and put out information face to face. What is it you would have us do? Go beat people up, take after them with guns, that is totally ridiculous and can only harm the issue - whatever it may be- rather than help it. And since you brought it up maybe you can tell us what you have done to further efforts on whatever you are talking about.

I have been teaching Hunter Ed for over 10 years. I always tout local business in my classes, sharing names of local businesses for various endeavors that treat people right. And I give the businesses an opportunity also, for example for the last class Steve at the Outdoorsman gave me a handful of mags, so I made sure each family received one along with a business card. I try to hit up my favorite shops and grab a handful of cards to pass out at a minimum. I suggest local business, they deserve it as they have been around longer than the big stores that have gone up recently - altho I still shop at the big stores too.

Thought you would like to know you are getting word of mouth advertising on arizonahuntingtoday.com BB. http://www.arizonahuntingtoday.com/forum/s...read.php?t=6351

I can just picture those guys trying to take care of that old cow. Our country is in a mess and it seems like no politician cares beyond what it will do for their voting base.

that is great Amanda........ :lol:

If you haven't turned it in yet you may want to make a couple corrections. You use "weigh" wrong - twice. Yours is a direction not a weight. Concerning the circles around eyes/mouth it should be "their", same with poaching and your conclusion, you have the wrong one. And on the final sentence I would say "predators are" instead of were. Not trying to bust your chops, just improve your grade - English teachers are pretty picky. Spell check is nice but it doesn't always point out syntax errors.

No, it's not like good ice or even lake ice, but it is about the best you can do in Az if you don't live next to the rink. And if you get good blades and find a street where the pavers knew their business you can flat fly. At one point for several years I was doing 50 to 100 miles a week on blades - my knees can't handle running anymore.

No need, water is the key ingredient. The hard part will be hiding your camera so some pinhead doesn't steal it.
