Yes, hunt it. It is a good unit. I am sure that some on here will be able to help. I have not hunted 7W personally for elk, but know it is a good opportunity. I have hunted 7E several times which is just across the highway. That area holds a fair amount of elk. There are road restrictions, but if you down an elk you are allowed to go offroad to get closer to it in that unit from what I remember from hunting 7E.

What about this?

Timney is here bn in North Phoenix. You can walk right in and buy a trigger direct. I bought one for a weatherby Vanguard. It was actually cheaper than all the online prices. Take cash as they give you a little better price.

Sportsmans north Phoenix has had them pretty regularly.

Yes, I am ok with mandatory reporting.

Can more people please email AZGFD about getting more hunters safety course field days on the calendar for Maricopa County. If we all reach out maybe we will be heard. I just finished sending them a politely frustrated email about not having any courses locally and having to drive to Tucson or farther to get my son in a class before his Javelina hunt and elk draw are due. Tucson has 3 courses available online, but Maricopa county only has 2... Come on, we need better. Maybe they need to explore the idea of letting a 3rd party entity put on the course for a fee. I would gladly pay $50 or $100 to have my son do the class locally instead of having to drive to Tucson or farther to get a course. I will spend $100 in diesel fuel to get to the Tucson course plus spend 4-5 hours in the truck driving there an back... Here is the email address if you need it. azhuntereducation@azgfd.gov

Ya, they told me that also. I really would like him to have his bonus point for hunters ed for the elk draw though. They won't give it to them until they take the field day.

We had a late hunt a few years ago in the cold in 7E. Temps at night in the teens and highs in the 30-40s like you are talking about. We had water in the trailer for 5 days. The tanks are below the trailer and exposed with no insulation. We bought a roll of duct wrap insulation before we left. When we got camp setup we used the duct wrap to skirt the trailer and block the gap from the trailer to the ground. We kept the heat in the trailer set to the lowest of 55* inside during the day, and a little warmer at night. The water never froze. The year after we were in Kaibab and temps were below freezing at night and the water never froze with no skirting at all. It was just open. It wasn't windy though.

My son drew his 1st Turkey tag, he is 10. It will be my second hunt, so neither of us really know alot about Turkey hunting. Any pointers would be appreciated. We drew the May 5th tag in 23.

My son drew his first javelina tag and Turkey tag which is cool. He is 10 going on 11. I have the hubts too. Not sure of units yet.

I personally use a set of Gen1 Vortex Diamondback 8x42s on my chest for general purpose glassing, and keep a set of 15s in my pack for the distance and glassing sessions.

Vortex Diamondbacks

I bought a new truck with these on it recently, and changed to larger tires. These tires appear to be very new and have lots of tread. I out about 1000 miles on the tires, and they were probably put on at the dealer before I bought the truck. They are Pathfinder 265/70/17 E rated tires. They retail at Discount for $207 each. I would like to get $500 for the set of 4 tires.

I have a 2wd TH400 for BOP pattern bellhousing I would like out of my garage. $200 obo. Supposedly it came from a running car, but you know that song story so I am selling as a core. $200 obo. Was bolted to a 472 Cadillac

Top. $400 obo.

I went the ruger American predator left hand for my son, and put a large self timing brake on it. It is in 7mm-08 and my 7yr old was shooting it last weekend without issue. I think someone on here had a Ruger American Predator in 6.5cm first sale recently on here. Lefty.

If he doesn't take the mavens please let me know.

I have a few from Alien Gear and like them.

308, 260 rem, 6.5cm, 6cm, 243, 22-250. The cheapest and most plentiful ammo wise is 308. 6.5cm is good for alot of different ammo options. If you want a .243 caliber I would consider a 6cm. If you want something funky 25cm or something else oddball.

Sportsmans north Phoenix had 3030 on the shelf today.

I have some I think. How many do you need? I don't think I have a full box.

I am seriously considering getting a can or two. I have a 9 year old that will hopefully start hunting soon and was thinking about this for him, and also for my hunts. I know this is a regulated item so I have to send in the form 4 I believe. If I decide to get a 2nd suppressor do I have to do the same super long process to get that one approved too? I am assuming the govt takes tour money for every can, not just the original form you submit? Should I just put this thing in a trust with my wife? What is the best process?

I am hearing about 7 months is average right now.

Primary arms has some good low power stuff I am told.
