    cleaning deer - need help please 6A

    You'll never learn anything on the sidelines holding a leg. You just gotta get in there and do it. The more practice you have the more comfortable you get. Don't be scared of messing it up, Everyone's popped a gut at some point and it happens.
  2. I've stepped over plenty to have someone behind me ask "didn't you like this shed?"

    leftover deer tags gone

    They sent my buddy's money order back that's already been made out to game and fish. Are those refundable?

    Cool bobcat with elk picture

    Very cool! I haven't seen a lot of bob cats but that seems like a good sized cat.

    Danner Pronghorns Good or Bad?!

    " Coues " Pronunciation

    I've always stuck to coos! Sounds so much better!
  10. I tried a pair of under armour boots a couple years ago. They were worn out in 6 months or less and my feet always seemed to be cold. Not sure if I bought the cheap under armour brand but I won't buy another to find out.

    Desert Recluse

    Sounds like you are one lucky man! Those recluse bites are no joke! I got a good laugh from your message since I am the same age as you and pretty bull headed but you got me thinking.

    12a West October junior hunt

    Just spend time at the range until the hunt. Show up and you'll have opportunity as long as you don't spend the whole time in camp. That's how it was when I had the junior hunt anyways.

    Let's Talk Shot Selection

    Wasn't trying to knock your post. Just throwing it out there that I know a few people that sling way too many arrows no matter how much i tell them it's a bad idea. Completely agree it's a great thread for people to look at shot opportunities that haven't seen many in the field and judge the good shots from the bad.

    Let's Talk Shot Selection

    I think that is a shot you would take at that range if you subtract the point that it is dark and I can't see what is behind it. I feel like this one is a trick because it seems like an easy shot.

    #2 Record Book Elk

    Of course he will be in the magazine! Sitting next to his daughter and her monster bull. Wouldn't you?

    Let's Talk Shot Selection

    I like the idea but I feel stupid people will take stupid shots no matter how much you pound it into their head. Also agree with sometimes just don't go as planned as written above. Can't wait to see more pictures tho!

    Helicopter rental?

    I thought the rule was you just can't hunt for 48 or 72 hours after flying? I don't see why it's such a big deal if you aren't hunting from the aircraft? I've always wanted to have a fly over the unit I always hunt. I think it would be cool to see the area I stomp around from above. I have always been curious how it would go with marking waypoints on my GPS.

    Internet service

    I won't use century link ever again. I finally broke down and was going to get an internet service last year when I received a flyer from century link advertising 15 Mbps for $19.99. I called them up, mentioned the flyer and ordered it. I happen to be home when the technician came to hook up the cable outside and I asked him about the Mbps and he said my neighborhood was only getting 1.2 Mbps. I let him finish hooking up, went inside and cancelled the service the same day. I was Told when I ordered that I had 30 days to decide If I was going to keep it without being charged. They sent me a $70 bill for 1 days service. Switched to cox for $49.99 a month. Seems outrageous to pay $50 a month on internet to me but I don't have cable tv so I save there.

    over the counter tags

    No problem! Sounds like you're getting it. I would definitely try for the left over rifle tags first because the OTC tags aren't as easy as it sounds. Not saying a rifle tag is either but if you are new to Arizona all together then it will most likely take you some time to learn an area well enough to take an OTC deer and bear regularly. I buy that bear tag every year along with the other OTC tags and have yet to take a bear and I'm a native. It all depends on how much time you have to put into it though. The OTC tags do give you an extra incentive to be out there learning new areas and having a good time tho

    over the counter tags

    I think you are mixing up some of the different options available right now. This link will show you what was left over from the original draw that they just posted the results for. You will have to mail in a written application with a check or money order I believe this Friday and they will have the drawing on Monday. You would need an application for deer and turkey if you choose to do both and i believe in a separate envelope. These tags are considered "left overs" not "over the counter" and they will specify which method of take you may use. After this draw is complete, if there are any tags still left over they will be sold as a first come, first serve basis at the game and fish office but they are still not considered OTC tags. http://www.azgfd.gov/eservices/documents/leftovers-fall.pdf Any tags that are available through walmart only need to be purchased once a year if you decide and will be good for any method of take according to the regs. Yes deer and turkey OTC tags from walmart are always archery but the other OTC tags you can buy at walmart would specify your method of take in the regs. Bear is your biggest one. There is an archery OTC season and a rifle OTC season for bear. You only need to buy the OTC bear tag once and use the correct method of take in the regs for the season you wish to hunt. Or hunt all the OTC seasons and just follow the method of take for the time you're going. Hopefully this clears things up somewhat. I'm starting to confuse myself now.

    over the counter tags

    If you have a bow already and plan to hunt the archery deer hunt you can also pick up an archery turkey tag OTC. It will be the same dates as the August/September deer hunt son you'll have two archery tags in your pocket at the same time. Not worth it if you plan to hunt the desert units during that time though.
