    RIP UP THOSE AZG&F SURVEY CARDS!!!!

    I definetly agree with Terry on this one. The only thing I wanted to add is that there are a few on the commission that are trying to do the right thing and I hate to lump all of them into the bad guy pile.

    Best Choice for Varmint rifle

    .204 hands down. I have shot over 30 coyotes with mine around the farm and have never had one get away that I have hit. Shot a ton of prairie dogs in Springerville last weekend with huge explosions of prairie dog. Leaves the barrel at over 4,000 fps and has enough weight to take out any varmint we deal with. My $.02.

    Video camera's for sale!

    I was wondering if the sony handycam and the canon were still for sale. Does the sony record on a dvd? What does the canon record on?

    Rifle?

    Mine is my 7mm Dakota built off of a mauzer action, douglas barrel and mcmillan stock. Light, flat shooting and an all around great rifle. I have killed a two mule deer, two coues, elk and an eastern whitetail with it. Don't plan on changing it for a while.

    Fishing

    I do not know about Big Lake but Nelson was on fire yesterday morning. We were catching them every other cast for a while. They were very active, all in the 8-12" range.

    group size

    My advise is to do the exact same thing everytime you shoot. Just like a free throw shooter in basketball. Always use the same grip, draw the bow the same, make sure your anchor point is the same, make sure your bow is level with no cant as well on every shot, and always squeeze the trigger. Practice doing the same thing everytime so when you shoot in the field it will be automatic habit to shoot the right way.

    Seating the bullet...

    With the bullet jammed into the lands you can run into a problem unloading the gun. I have loaded a bullet into the gun and decided not to fire the gun. The bullet was jammed into the lands and when I went to take it out of the gun the bullet stuck in the barrel and the casing pulled apart and spilled gun powder all in the action and left the bullet stuck in the barrel. Now if you were in the filed this could be a major problem.

    New Mexico Spring Turkey Smack Down

    That jelly like consistency is pretty common. It is like a slick layer between the skin and feathers. If you skin the bird instead of plucking it you will definetly run into it. I skinned mine this year and soaked it in buttermilk. Then I seasoned it and put it in the crockpot in chicken broth all day. In the evening I shreded it and made fried folded tacos and sonora rolled tacos with beans, rice and salsa. Man it was tasty.

    It CAN Happen!

    I am related to the people you interviewed with the back to back Kiabab tags. They also have both been drawn for desert sheep and have them both full body mounts on a mountain in there house. The mount is awesome. The two deer they killed this year are awesome as well, one being in the 220's. They are going to get a double pedastol mount. The guy's uncle has killed two desert sheep in Arizona. He got drawn one year and then won the raffle tag a few years later. They are a lucky family. It does give hope that it can happen though.
