    Quail Covey forecast for 2013?

    While drinking my first cup of coffee this morning I had four different quail coveys come into my backyard pond. Each covey had young chicks, oldest were nearly full grown and youngest were size of golfballs. Highest number of chicks was 24 with a set of parents and the smallest group was 3. Even with this drought it could be a good year for quail! We'll have to see how many chicks actually survive though.

    .50 BEOWULF for sale.

    Go easy on this guy before you flame him as a scammer. I dont know him from Adam but if this guy is legit its a good deal on a nice firearm. The potential buyer has the ability to work with the OP and then let us know if the deal stinks or feels fishy. What is up with this site lately? Is everyone antsy for hunting season and therefore edgy and nasty as a bunch of teenage girls...Jeez! ParkerIowa, welcome to the site. GLWS, hopefully you can work out a deal or arrangement with a buyer that makes them feel comfortable. Im just curious as I dont see an issue with shipping ammo, but thats just me.

    'Simplified' Fees by AZGFD

    In my humble opinion, 9 out of 10 hunters who hunt in Az would scream bloody murder at a proposed $2.00 tag fee increase per species. It is also my opinion that most of us are arm chair qb's or satellite bulls that scream their heads off online but never step up to challenge the herd bull and that when the time comes simply dont put their money where their mouth is and voice their opinion. If the Azgfd is going to use any information about tag fee increases, it would be best to give them constructive information that they can use about what you think is reasonable fee increase or not instead of 'you money grubbing jerks' . It is also my humble opinion that its a user play user pay system. Yah need to pay for it if you want to hunt it or buy a point for it or complain about it. I have yet to decide what I like or dislike about the current proposed fee structure, you can be sure I'll share my opinion with the azgfd in a clear, constructive manner that provides them information they can use when I do make up my mind.

    Locked up pair

    So the Youtube video of the Coues deer that were thought to be in Mexico (fairly recent post) made me think that a few other folks might like to see what I picked up this last spring. I have yet to pick up a brown Coues shed; though I was pretty excited to find this pair and think it's a step in the right direction. How I found them: After I cleaned them up: The larger buck had a chipped point and both his left and right beams were busted up. Not sure if he was the last one standing or broke them off sometime during the rut before the fatal lockup. Anyways, just thought some of you might appreciate this. -C

    Stray Cats

    I am generally not a fan of cats (or any free loading pet) especially stray cats, however I once watched a dog -not mine just a stray- die from antifreeze poisoning. It was the most brutal, long suffering thing to witness. I think every critter, domestic or wild deserves a humane or quick death. Gamo makes a nice whisper pellet gun. A little more quiet than the cheap crossmans and perfect for scaring off unwanted pests.. 'Sides everyone needs a good pellet gun.

    Gould's Hunt Giveaway and Free Spring Turkey Seminar

    Lets just say that TJ will have to share that news! Seminar was good; it wasnt just about which calls to use. Everything from tactics for scouting, roosting and setups. Thanks Jay and Darr for putting this together.

    8mm Mauser price reduced

    Im interested, sent you a PM Thx
  11. Still available...not sure if these lenses are compatible with newer digi cams but might be worth lookin into if someone is interested.
  12. Items are located in North Phoenix. Will ship on your dime or meet FTF. For sale is a Canon EOS Rebel X 35mm Camera. Condition is excellent, I've had this camera for over a decade and just do not use it any longer and thought someone else might have some use for it. This camera is ready to use. Included in sale are the following: 1 Sigma Zoom 35-80mm with UV filter 1 Tamron AF 80-210mm with UV filter 1 Telesor Flash (Model #TR22TD). Plus I have all the original manuals, cleaning kit and a Quantaray Camera Bag I would like 120.00 OBO, or possible trade for ammo or guns. Also for sale is K&N Cold Air Intake plus cleaning kit. I had this on my truck for a few years. I took it off a couple of years ago as I wasn't driving on dirt roads as much. It has sat in my garage since I remove it and I want to clear some space. The intake probably increased my gas mileage around 1.5-2 mpg, gave the Tacoma a little more of a throatier sound. Didn't notice an increase in RPM's (wasn't really paying attention) but K&N claims that it does. Best thing about this intake is that when I was driving almost entirely on dirt roads I didn't need to clean the filter the same as if it were an OEM filter. This kit is complete and ready for install, only item missing are two zip ties for seating the intake tube in the holder. I was not to locate the instruction manual but install directions are available on the web, or I'd be happy to help on the install. New this intake retails over $200, plus cleaning kit is 12.00. I'll take $150.00 OBO cash or trade of ammo or guns. thanks for looking, please PM me for offers, additional information or photos

    Javelina or Snipe????

    My first two years pig hunting felt like a snipe hunt, then the learning curve kicked in and its a different story now. You were in the right places if you were finding sign, its just matter of timing and search image. Parts of 20b get a lot of pressure but it also has some good areas with zero pressure and fat happy pigs.

    Small tomato looking fruits

    Those are Silver leaf night shade, also called White horse thistle or tomato weed. It is not an edible plant. It is a pretty common weed throughout the west. Now when you find some blackberries or raspberries be sure to let us know the location too!

    --SOLD--

    For sale is a Model 95 Carpati .380. These are Walther PPK look alikes made in Romania by Romarm and imported by CAI. Serial numbers match and gun comes with two magazines and synthetic holster, plus whatever JHP rounds I have left (likely ~25 or so). This gun was given to me by a family member a few years ago. Overall it is in good condition, some wear on grip. Action, cycling and tube are smooth. I've probably shot a few dozen rounds and this gun is fairly accurate, I'm consistent out to 25-30 yards. Biggest complaint about this model is the thumb groove on the left size of grip. Manual safety is ambidextrious but the thumb groove makes it more comfortable for right handed folks. After market grips available and some folks shave off the groove. Reviews on this gun also discuss the trigger break on single action being very tough; however double action is an easy break on trigger. In full disclosure; I'm not sure if it is just this gun or this model but when the safety is engaged (prior to being loaded) a round can still be chambered and hammer does NOT stay locked and will drop, hitting the firing pin. I personally don't have an issue with this, however if other people are shooting it with me it is one more thing I have to be concerned about. This would be an excellent back up or pack gun that isn't expensive. Located in North Phoenix area, face to face only. Although I would prefer cash, I am open to trades of ammo, or guns (plus cash from me) as well as anything that might catch my eye. Please PM me if you want to discuss or for additional pictures. Thanks
