  2. The hurt of not drawing elk or lope yet again was eased by my son getting his mount back the same week.

    Electric smoker

    I have a Cookshack. Top of the Line but also expensive. I love it. Max T is 300F so just smoking. Traegers can do grilling too.

    Garage doors insulated / non insulated? Gauge ? Etc .

    We have an East facing door and the insulated version helped to keep our garage MUCH cooler. We went with A1.

    Is 13" LOP ok for your kid? Seems a big long.
  11. Actually for state lands, it's your hunting and fishing license. No target practice, Questionable stand on camping. If it were managed properly, control would be closer to home but the state has a poorer track record compared to the feds, which have themselves been bad lately.

  15. I have a friend who found a Rem 870 (20 yrs ago) and turned it into the DPS/cops. After a substantial waiting period, he was given the gun. Omotose: check with all the law enforcement that may be involved.

    870 express shotguns.

    Mine is not an express but it does not like the aluminum based shells.
  17. I really don't think this is bad for hunters in general but it does nail the bad guys, Sonoran Outfitters.

    Hunting license

    NOT IF YOU BUY IT TODAY!
  20. Sportsman's was out of all factory loads for 6.5 Creedmoor except for the new Remington which have soft points -- I suspect you lose the balistic coefficient with it.
  21. My son got drawn for antelope. He ended up hiring a guide up by Prescott realizing that this may only happen once in a lifetime (dual income - no kids doesn't hurt either). Great hunt, albeit short, FORTUNATELY. We were in a basin with one road in and same way out. We bedded a huge herd of antelope with at least 5 bucks in there, two pretty decent. We were there at dawn and making a move on them. After 4 or 5 stalking attempts without blowing the herd out, he was able to down the one he wanted about 9am. Shortly afterward, this white Ram truck drives in past our truck and goes all the way to the bottom. This is a small area. Walking back to our truck to move it closer to pick up the antelope, I run into another group of guys, this time on a Ranger. I mention I thought it was pretty tacky for the first guys to drive into a small area we were hunting. What do they do? Drive in also! If either one of these groups had come in 15 minutes earlier, we would have been hosed. Neither group actually saw the huge herd we just chased over above them at the top of the basin. While walking into the kill site, I have the herd run above me about 200 yards as the first group apparently boogered them back my way, running right by the tree where I had originally been watching the hunt unfold at the top of the basin. And then coming out with the quartered animal, one of the White Ram guys is sitting underneath the only tree in the neighborhood about 100 yrds from us. He looked pretty silly, as I imagined him saying "where did those guys come from?". And then driving out, the guys in the Ranger are now up there trying to decoy the herd with a Montana decoy. Probably not really effective with a herd with 5 bucks. Stupidity aside as it is hard to become proficient only drawing one or two tags a lifetime, their brash disregard for hunting etiquette and not turning around at our truck is the part I am having trouble with. Comments?
