Anyone know about burros? BLM were doing an adoptiong thing 2 weeks ago where these burros bout 4-5 ft tall were being given out for $25 each, they were 5-8 years old and being burros they can handle the lack of water/feed in the desert.

obviously you'll have to stay away from the syc canyon. Best place you can possibly go is hunt along the canyon at the top, the first 100-300 yards at the top of the canyon has quite a few wildlife and it's pretty flat which makes for easy hiking. Sorry to hear about your legs, I've broken a femur and tibia before, same leg different days and recovery takes quite a while. Can't imagine breaking both legs at the same time.

Less recoil and lighter rifle and shorter barrel. Those 26 inch barrels have kicked my butt a time or two and cause my father to get smacked in the face with ocotillo and mesquites ha. my dad won a 300 wsm and we have worked up some amazing loads with the 300 wsm that we were not able to do with the 300 win mag probably due to recoil, and from that point on I have decided to start a little project, I just need a remmy 300 wsm to start out with! My son and I went through cochlear implant surgeries, just about 400k worth of medical stuff but we didn't pay out of pocket, paying a hefty bill for platinum insurance, don't really have the extra 500 dollars laying around

Never been a baiter, never plan on baiting, sure the heck don't wanna see my fellow friends lose their rights to any method of hunting wheather it increase or decrease odds. heck I bought swarovskis to increase my success rate, sure don't want to see game and fish take away anything to reduce success rates

Hypothetical Bear Questions????
elkhunter replied to azcouesfanatic's topic in Black Bear or Grizzly Bear hunts
Yes I do pull that one with my students, Let's just say if a bear was being chased by hounds, I would have no idea If you can hear then it would be a different story for you As for bear hunters being a different breed from majority of hunters, I agree with you, I have met bear hunters and had noting in common with them, they have a huge passion for the chase while I have the passion for putting animals down for a dirt nap -
Cows move every year, I am guessing the hunt u had years ago you were smack dab in the middle of them and the recent one you had was a normal hunt where you had to get after them. Try to locate the majority of elk before the hunt, check tanks Lower country is easier to glass up elk but often times less elk than the pines

Try both of em out, some people prefer kiabab over swaros, personally I dont like the kiababs only cuz they don't fit my face, See what suits u better

Do what I do, shoot and then explain that you are a deaf person -
Knowing where your going opening day?
elkhunter replied to AzVTR's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
Some of the larger bucks I have taken happened while I was in college and had all the free time in the world to scout. Those bucks fed on the same hill and bedded down on a different hill but always bedded on the same hill. Come December or January there would be absolutely no bucks in the area, love takes them elsewhere. 90% of the hunt is done preseason. The other 9% of the hunt is packing up gears and 1% of the hunt is finding the deer and shooting him -
I just camped out a few miles. North of the border, camp in a spot that has no trees nearby, they don't like sneaking up on campgrounds with no cover

elkhunter replied to AzVTR's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
Careful, a lot of the older bucks roam under half square mile all summer and fall and then they book outta there for the rut Often time you will see those 3 year old and older bucks bed down under the same tree 2 or 3 times a week -

elkhunter replied to AzVTR's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
If I scouted and find a few bucks, I tell myself that big boys aren't showing themselves and thengo and focus. On the bucks I found for thehunt. It's happened to be before and then I just focused on the largest buck I found during scouting, a little83 inch buck, shot him 30 minutes into opening day -
Saw you driving by lawley ford, never seen you here before, must be scouting
