Does the ban include salt?

Darn it, Tony! You owe me a new keyboard!!! Mine's full of coffee now.

I've got six on backorder from Midway. I doubt they'll ever ship. Luckily I bought a few drawers full (not Magpul) from Natchez before they ran out.

They are using the recent tragedies to target YOU and I. And they have no intentions of letting "due process" into the picture. Biden met with the gun control groups, then he met with the NRA. Now, he will propose to the President, that we must have: Background checks on all firearm sales (I'm not opposed to this) Ban on "assault weapons" (I'm very opposed to this) Ban on high capacity magazines ( again, very opposed) Registration of all "grandfathered assault weapons" (illegal under ObamaCare - great irony there - they should have read it before they passed it). I try not to get into the political discussions on this site, because they are always ugly and I like to keep this site all about hunting. In this case, I'll make an exception. Obama PROMISED not to go after gun rights. After Sandy Hook, he's gone 180 degrees in the opposite direction. He has now indicated that he will bypass Congress and use Executive Order to support whatever Biden recommends. What does that mean for us? In the next months, you will see the most corrupt administration this country has ever seen use the most legally and politically, controversial tactics to usurp the constitution that our armed forces, our police, our president have sworn to defend. In the end, they want us all to become tax-paying sheep. That's all. I'll give up my AR15 and AK47 when I'm dead or out of bullets - period. But if I stand alone, I won't matter. If I stand next to 5 or 10 or 500 or 5000 people who think like me, maybe my children will get the chance to live in the America that so many people have fought to defend.

Man, that is SUPER awesome!!! Great job. I've hunted the San Carlos twice. The first time, I totally blew a shot on a great buck. The second time, I never pulled the trigger. But IMO, hunting coues on the San Carlos is almost like hunting the strip. You might not find a buck for days on end, but when you do find one, it's likely to be the trophy of a lifetime. That hunt is hard, no way around it. The bucks are there, but it's a huge area, and much of it is very hard to glass. Mix in the lions, etc. I'm gonna hunt the SC again, but next time it won't be in November. I've gotta see it in the rut. Congrats again on a great buck.

Nice Job, that is a great buck! Way to get it done!!!

Thanks Chef, that was my favorite part of the hunt.

Hey, thanks guys. I'll post some pix of the boar I shot. I misplaced my camera. I am SOOO kicking myself for not getting a picture of Matt's Javi. We were following the herd and he literally would not let me stop long enough for pix. We GPS'd the coordinates to his pig and came back to it in as it was getting dark after losing the rest of the herd several drainages over. I'm glad you like the stories - sometimes they get a little long-winded. But, hey, I'm always recording the story mentally, as it happens, so I can remember what to type when I get home.

That's NICE! Great job!

Thanks Brian, Huge congrats again on your coues buck. Very nicely done. I assure you, there are still plenty of those little buggers out there. They don't move that far, you guys will find them. If you get a chance to scout, Joshy has 24A/24B and I'm at a loss of where to start. Nick has 23 at the same time and my 24A spots are at least an hour away in the wrong direction. I've never hunted 24B, so I'll be going in blind.

I sure hope you find him. He's got to be there close to where you last saw him. Best wishes on a recovery.

Awesome buck, and even better job finding him. That is outstanding!

Nice Job - well placed shot!

Man, I saw the title of this thread and my heart sunk. I'm so glad he is safe with his family.

My oldest son went out chasing quail and he brought back the "shared" 870 pump with no front sight. Actually, he had the sight in his pocket. I've got taps and dies, but I cant re-thread something this shallow.I'm in the Show Low/Lakeside area, and need to get the front site replaced. Any help is much appreciated.

Just curious how many will be out chasing these little buggers opening day. I'll be out with my oldest son trying to get his first with a bow. He wanted nothing more last year than to get one with a bow, but his tag was in the youth hunt, and we just had too many other kids to spend the time needed to make it happen. This year, he's been shooting like crazy and he and I have the same tag for the first time. I won't even try to fill my tag until he's got his down. Should be a great time. Take your cameras, be safe and good luck to all you archery javi hunters.

Any news on the roads between Show Low ang Globe? I don't want to miss the opener but I heard the roads are wet and icy through the canyon.

Get another buck 119. For one thing, it's just a great knife. But it's also iconic.

Yeah, G&F is upping the tags - I'm not a fan of this move.

Awesome Brian, you guys both have my number. Looking at the weather, sleet and snow for a couple days, clearing up Tuesday morning - should be a lot of activity. Don't want to get greedy, but I'm guessing the coues and muley bucks will be out of their beds too. Best wishes to all out chasing pigs and deer at the start of the new year.

Super buck! Great job!

Wow - what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Huge congrats to the hunter and everyone involved. I sure hope he's able to do a full body mount.

Nice Job!!! Those are some great looking bucks!

Nice cat!!! You just saved a lot of deer. I really like that idea for a mount - is that an actual picture or a photoshop? Either way, it's super cool.

I have an order in for 4 AR lowers through a good freind. PMags at $50 each is close to 4x what they normally go for. It's kind of funny how right now in the wake of tragedy, anyone who ever even considered buying an AR ro AK platform, rushed out and bought EVERYTHING available. The ammo prices will fall, as will the lower parts kits. It's the currently registered lowers and hi-cap mags that willl keep bringing in huge $$. I wish I would have bought $10,000 worth of Pmags at $12 each. I could sell them all day at $70 each.
