    Favorite Find

    Nice find...I collect old medicine bottles and would love to find one out in the field. Closest I've found is some oil bottles along abandoned railroad tracks.

    RUT REPORT 2016

    It's on down south, but not sure now with the weather...this buck was with about 10 does pushing them around and lip-curling. Followed the one doe that was checking me out and that cost him...

    SOLD/PLEASE DELETE

    Bump for a nice guy...buy with confidence. Got my Kaibabs from him and he's a straight shooter.
  4. What we call them (3x3, 4x4, 8-pt, whatever) has been beaten to death, so I'm not resurrecting that topic...but wondering how folks report brow tines on the AZGFD hunt survey. I'd assume even though it's usually called a 3x3 out west (I've even gotten used to that...I guess I've become westernized), you'd report as 4 points per side if has brow tines. Muley I killed yesterday I'd call a 3x4 but has a decent brow tine on the 4 side...so I'm thinking I report it as 3x5. Also not resurrecting the topic of whether to honestly report or not...I've always honestly reported and will continue to do so hoping to contribute to better statistics in the hunt reports. This just hasn't come up for me in the past with brow tines...

    How many points to report to AZGFD?

    Not trying to change anything...just asked what I thought was a straightforward question.

    How many points to report to AZGFD?

    Yep...I was thinking if it's scoreable, then report it to AZGFD...but sounds like AZGFD doesn't count it at their checking station. Guess I've got a while to think about it before the 2016 OTC deer survey comes out...

    How many points to report to AZGFD?

    This makes the most sense, and not sure why I didn't think about that except my Kaibab buck didn't have eye guards so didn't occur to me. Unless of course it depends on the opinion/habit of whoever is working the check station that day...

    Help get me hunting. Need advice. Tucson area.

    PSE outdoor range may not be as windy since it's in between buildings...not sure. Tough spot...that range at the fairgrounds is windy even on a calm day. A warehouse or somewhere else indoors would be ideal...even with a sight tape I wouldn't personally want to hunt without actually shooting those distances and knowing that sights are on and I'm capable of the shot. My bow is a lot more accurate than I am.

    If you were scoring one would you also not count them? I didn't think about that until after I posted, but I guess the reporting logic should be the same as the scoring logic...but I know things aren't always logical.
  12. White Toyota pickup at Freddy's Steakburger drive-thru at Houghton/Mary Ann Cleveland Way in Tucson last night...I was behind you. Almost yelled at you in line, but thought better of it.

    New content

    Just noticed that...thanks for un-fixing it. Already found some post-Christmas deals! I do like seeing classifieds in the new content, and if/when I don't I'll filter it appropriately. Thanks again!

    New content

    Ditto on what's been said here. I like seeing classifieds in the new posts feed. If there's a filter available to not include them, then that gives those folks and option...

    "View New Content" button

    It is already there , That is why I did not see any issue with it the way it was ... if people do not want to see classifieds or any forum for that matter they could customize it for the forums they want to update through new content and save it ... leaving out the ones they don't want to see such as classifieds. Nice...so it wasn't broke in the first place. I still don't like the fix. Haven't looked at a classified ad since I posted that comment. I just don't cruise much more than the new topics list.

    "View New Content" button

    I think a way to filter new content would have been a better idea...so that folks who don't want to see classifieds can turn that off. I skim the new content maybe once a day and like seeing whatever's moving on the classifieds. I'm sure I've missed some deals too.

    Javi camps down south?

    Any javelina camps planned for the southern units this spring? Have a couple of newbie friends that might like to go if possible...looking at leftover tags and wanted to steer them in the right direction. I don't see anything in the regs except the CWT Women's HAM camp. Thanks!

    Unit 23!

    Swivelhead is spot on. You could go 3.5" on the 870 and shells if you want to pound your shoulder, but not necessary. Don't count on them talking the 2nd hunt...all depends on lots of factors. I've hunted that hunt and never heard a bird. Or only hear them on the roost and silence once they get down. Or hopefully they'll be talking for you. Good luck and be safe!
