Norteno

The bloodlines are a smaller diameter which means it starts out pointing down on my drop away rest. I bet that is a lot of the reason right there! I'll continue shooting both, but from day 1 looks like the bloodlines group better. I'll also start over and do walk back tuning when I have the range to myself. Hopefully I'll get out tomorrow

Saturday 6am! Maybe when it's 115 out. 530pm after work is fine for me right now. I'm really liking those carpet targets. Really easy to pull arrows out of.

Is it true Dicks makes you fill out some sort of background check to buy ammo?

My Dad's rifle is impacted by this recall. What does it cost to put in a Timney trigger? I filled out the online form and it said they were sending out all the shipping supplies and labels.

I think you're talking about Chalos. Love their chips and salsa.

Oh wow that is a great find! I can imagine how big he'll be this next year!

Where are you located?

Hard to miss that one in the woods. Since it was on the San Carlos can you keep it? I doubt it.

I HATE EVERYBODY RIGHT NOW. LEAVE ME ALONE

After hunting hard and not seeing anything for HAM season I got a second chance and took out a friend for his first hunt. Him with 30-06 and me with my bow. I should have expected it, but the area we went to was filled with hunters and loud quads everywhere. Gave up on spot A in about 20 minutes and went to planned day 2 spot. Luckily it was nice and quiet. Got to see a nice wide muley on the way in. Hiked, glassed, repeat, nothing. Hunted a wash back to the road and heard two shots which was promising. Ran into the hunters and turns out they just shot a rattlesnake. Since I didn't pack my target I didn't shoot my bow that day. I see a jackrabbit so I decide to practice. Snuck into 40 yds, draw, yellow pin, nailed him! Bad news I couldn't find my arrow after so now I was down to 3 broadheads. Turns out my extra pack of Wac'ems got left at home. That afternoon we moved to hunting washes going into Gila. At the end of the day we are exhausted and decide to drive home and look for promising spots for day 2. I drive past some Private/Posted land that looked really promising. Not 1/4 mile after the private land we see two piggies running a wash next to the main road. Hit brakes, grab gun and bow from back and jump into wash. We go over the first ridge and spot them at the top of the next ridge. I range them, say 175 and Bam Pig down. My buddy made a great off hand shot. With my ears ringing I say I'm headed for the second one which had gone over the ridge. The brush was thick and tore me up but I didn't care. I called with my J13 and look up and the 2nd Javi cam back over ridge, looked at his friend and just stood there. 40 yds but he was skylined so I couldn't take shot. I give one more squeal and he starts walking towards me! There is now a bush between me and him. I range the bush next to him at 20yds. I peak around the left, he peaks around the left, I peak around the right, he peaks around the right. It was pretty funny. I figure he is going to make a move so I draw back. Sure enough he moves quickly to the left and I let it fly. He was moving so I hit him far back. The thwack and squeal was awesome though! He is dragging himself downhill so I fling another arrow-miss over his back! Luckily he drags himself under a bush and stops. I watch him for a few seconds, range him at 40 and put my last arrow in him for good measure and nail him in the vitals - no meat wasted. He expires, arrow sticking out his side. After a couple high fives and trek back to truck and it was pitch dark. Although I marked my pig with an orange safety vest it took us forever to find him. Finally 3 hrs later we had two field dressed skinned pigs in the cooler. Dropped them off this morning at Miller's SW. A couple of observations from my Javi success: **The strangest thing was these Javelina didn't smell at all! Even when I opened them up it wasn't bad. I've had deer that were way worse. **Although the Havelon was nice and sharp it took 3 blades for 2 pigs. I also used my regular knife for the tougher parts. I also stabbed my self twice. **After seeing these fresh Javi tracks it was easy to distinguish. None of the track we had seen prior was fresh at all. **Someone needs to make Kevlar faced pants. This AZ desert hurts! 1st pic - Javi shot by 30-06 2nd pic - pitch dark when we found mine again

I just had 8 tons of rock dropped off in my front yard this morning that I am going to be loading in the wheel barrow and taking to back yard on Saturday. You are welcome to help 😜

Yeah, those Monarch 5's are a great deal in the Classified section for $200. It looks like you can get Vortex Diamondback for $199 online right now! Can't go wrong for that price.

Nothing this morning. I say Tuesday 4/1/13 just so that the April Fools jokes can get used up.

308Nut, what do you recommend in 308? The app I have is Winchester and the only options in that bullet were 150 or 168gr.

To me it looks like .308 is a ways off.

Made it to the Salt this morning. Water was really low above the verde and really murky. Only gave it about 1hr then a group of kayakers invaded the river. Actually saw some huge carp in one of the pools, that was a first for me. Some punks also tagged up the rocks pretty good which sucks. Great scenery though especially with the horses and birds in the river.

Does anyone have any fishing reports from the Lower Salt? I usually get out there during the winter months during the stocking season, but didn't make it this year. I'm itching to get up to the rim but was going to give Phon D a shot one day this week after work. I usually do pretty good drifting worms after they stock, but looks like the last stocking was last week. If anything maybe I'll see some Eagles.

Did anybody get hit today? I'm thinking it's over.

What happens on the Rez stays on the Rez.

What? I just flew SWA with a double ski bag and didn't get charged a thing.

Nice Bow

Monday is the day for me!

Will you break it up? How much for everything minus the binos?

I'd be interested if it was in my draw length range. If it's 29" then I think this range is 28-30.

My good friend is the software engineer that did the NMGF page and draw process. It is years ahead of where AZ is at. Your friend is smart....must not work for the Government! HAHA! He actually just left NMGF because he said the place was run horribly and he hated working there. Now he works at NM DOT, not much better.
