Who owns the silver ford with a matching shell who lives on the south east side, near Golf Links and Kolb? I was right behind you! I live one street north.

I have seen a few cams that are running on a GSM network, you will need to get a SIM card for your service provider.

I bought the Irish Setters four years ago. i have hiked and hunted 33, 34A & B, 37A, 35A B & C, 35A the Kaibab, and even had to work in them. They are still going!!!!! I think I will need to replace them before Aug. but FOUR YEARS!!!!!!!! Comfortable, quiet, and really good traction! CAN'T go wrong with them. I paid $129 GREAT DEAL

I use those, however I use Swhackers. I can tell you my groups tightened up after going to the Max Hunters.

My son and I had a great time fishing, he caught three cats, first fish other than some Bluegill. Although I didn't catch any had fun helping him with the big ones.

For his first time really fishing for cats he cleaned house!!

OK guys here is MY interpretation of a bow station you can take on your hunting/camping trip. It folds and collapses for easy transport. I will have two models, one shooter and a two shooter stations. There will also be a cup holder accessory. This is the one shooter model! What do you guys think? What improvements would you look for in a station?
-
I am talking with Bull Basin in Tucson about that, For there to be breathing room for me and any distributors the cost will be $79.99
-
I stand corrected, I was told by an official that the youth license was not valid for big game, I just read the regs again and am lead to believe it DOES cover big game as long as a tag is in hand.
-
No sir you are NOT wrong, a kids license is only five dollars for age ten to seventeen for fishing and small game only, big game needs a regular license now.
-
Already got it in my head and going to put it to steel!
-
Here are two photos of the accessory cup holder some guys were asking for. It is completely detachable! It will sell for $9.95
-
Yes that particular one has the longer slide arm so it could be shorter by 7 inches and I am working on a two shooter set up.
-
Here are additional pics and it collapses down to 37 inches high and 5 inches deep when laying flat.

Our smallest one doesn't bay that much but has a mean growl and raspy bark!

Rhett Butler!!! Cool looking flower! Chowing down! -
I wouldn't put your poundage up to high as to NOT be able to hold it back very long, you might find yourself needing to hold longer than you think possible. I would practice holding for at least two minutes maybe more.

I love hunting don't get me wrong, but there is just something about guiding some one on their first or second Big Game hunt. I can also say the same about taking my dad out hunting. Back in 09 my brother and I took our dad out for the first Coues hunt. My dad and I started the hunt out spending all night Thursday tearing my truck apart to replace the CV boots as I discovered the right side torn that afternoon while out scouting for the hunt. Opening morning was spent putting it back together. That afternoon's hunt was uneventful with only does coming to the party. As the sun rose on day two my dad and I found our selves on a ridge top where my oldest brother Rick killed his first Coues Deer. As I was glassing the bottom of the canyon I could see several piles of bear scat (big piles). After awhile I decided to move to another glassing point as soon as I sat down I spotted a reddish animal on the other ridge. I couldn't believe my eyes as I focused my 20x60's on the spot and a huge bear moved. I ranged her at 930 yards. After not seeing the prey we were after I returned to my dad, soon after she and her mini me cub walked over the point right in front of us at 115 yards. Day two ended as uneventful as the first. Day three my brother is able to join us and soon after day light he spots several bucks off in the Ocotillo's. While watching them and devising a plan a Coyote decides to play and pushes the bucks up the side of the hill making it easier to get a shot. After moving into position I range the bigger buck bedded behind a Yucca at 410 yards, my dad settles the riffle on a branch of the Palo Verde tree we are under and the waiting game begins. Several ties my brother and I say "get ready he's getting up", only to see him re-position his front legs like a dog. Several hours later we find the wind is picking up and not getting better, dad decides to take the shot with a crosswind around 10 from the right. Bang the shot rings out and no report, no dust, no flopping buck, WTF? Dad reloads and the buck stands up and BANG, the buck runs down the hill about 50 yards and piles up! Guided my dad on his 2012 Coues hunt, same hill almost the same ridge as his 09 buck. Again the buck is bedded, as we wait the buck is spooked by a couple ranchers as the buck is running up the ridge my dad shoots four rounds, all over him. The buck stopped and I quickly ranged him at 405 yards, Bang and the buck dropped, "dad, you Kennedy shot him, you head shot him!" The round hit him right between his ears. Seeing the joy and smiles on his face and seeing how excited he still gets after all the game he has taken is just pure joy for me. The 2013 season finds me guiding my buddy John Shaw on the first hunt. Before we even get to our glassing spot I pick up movement in the early morning darkness, a doe at 75 yards. The day is starting out good. From the glassing spot John and I spot three different groups of Coues, all does totaling 17. As we glass a voice in my head keeps telling me to look down below our rock outcrop. After about fifteen minutes of this voice rattling in my head I look down and there is 5 Coues 115 yards below. "Buck, John there's one right below us! He's just a spike, do you want him?" I tell John to slowly peak over the rock and decide if he wants him. I glance over at John and he has his riffle up, I just get my binos up and he shoots, buck down! John has his second Az. Coues Deer. The following Wednesday another Buddy Daniel Boyle and I head out into another unit after his First big game kill. We get to one of my spots and head out up the hill, then start down to a point we can glass the entire canyon from. I stop and look down and right there in the saddle he stands looking up at us! Daniel drops his shooting sticks and fires off hand twice. We take the time to check the area and find NO blood, confident he is not wounded I assure Daniel I know where he is going as I have hunted this buck with my bow the last two Decembers. After moving down the ridge further I ready my tripod and get out my 20X60's and my sitting pad. I look down the hill to scan the bottom before I start glassing and there he is standing in the open in front of a Mesquite tree. After getting Daniel on the buck, I range him at 305. I tell Daniel to take his time as the buck doesn't know what happened and can't decide what his next move is. 20 Minutes after re sighting the buck Daniel lets his 25-06 bark.....buck down! 2014 My good Buddy Bradley Bishop gets the Mule Deer tag of a lifetime "Kaibab" I take four days off and Daniel and I accompany Brad of this epic hunt. After passing on several small bucks Brad decides to take the same buck he passed the day before under a questionable shot, and makes a perfect shot. Bradley took his first deer in 20 years. We had a blast up there the three days hunting and cooking different game meat. Both Daniel and Brad had Javelina for the first time prepared and cooked my way along with Deer spaghetti. This deer camp ranks up there with my last Elk camp. All of these hunts will forever hold a place in my heart. Being able to witness the joy and excitement of the hunt and what it means to the hunter simply multiplies the joy I feel getting to just be there. My own hunts are always full joy, sorrow, disappointment, excitement and yes pain, but it pales in comparison to these hunts. This is my joy, excitement, and passion!

I formally invite every one to take part in this fun shoot, with all proceeds going to cancer research and treatment. There is a ton of door and raffle prizes, two bows, Vortex Optics, and even a fully guided Mule Deer hunt in Utah. https://www.facebook.../bbshootforhope
