The ten yard method works good. Another method I use on longer distances: Observe the total distance, pick a halfway point. Scrutinize the distance to the halfway point. Double the result.

IIRC, in past draws cards seem to get hit hard Tuesday, Wednesday then trail off Thursday & Friday. Me, I thought they'd start today. Have not checked mine at this point. Usually wait till the "non-BS'ers" on this site confirm it's happening then I begin checking in earnest.

Looks like it'd be cool at a frat house.

Congrats to the Cats. Hope they go all the way.

I agree. Woodcutters in 5BN have opened up a lot of formerly pristine areas. Sickening.

Radios offer a lot of convenience in areas without reliable cell service. Whether or not they are used to guide a hunter to game is that persons business. As a safety tool, IMO they are indispensable.

Assuming the charges have merit, I find it disturbing that having dominion over 600K acres is not enough.

Having had a couple cameras kindly removed by the overly ethical, I now go through great effort to make mine difficult to find. They can neither mark territory nor offend the delicate little flowers out wandering the woods (copy of regs in hand no doubt) if they're never seen to begin with. It is never ethical to mess with other peoples stuff. When I encounter cams I always try to make sure my picture is on the card.

Sea of Cortez has restrictions on spearfishing. Don't think you can do it on reefs & islands. IIRC, can only be done in open water.

Too bad some of you cannot calmly discuss an issue. Fact is, leaving stuff in the forest is a "claiming" behavior. Stand, blinds, cams............. Why is it when someone places, salt, stands, cams etc. on public lands (usually water) AND another hunter happens to be there, the meltdown starts. Hunting is recreation, I don't need an altercation which could bankrupt me (or worse). The whole thing stinks. "Claimers" will often not hunt a spot although their stuff is there. People who see the claimers junk won't either wanting to avoid confrontation. "Stuff" left on public land affects others hunt strategy. Legally it does not but reality is a different animal.

Spirited debate of issues relating to land use, hunting, etc. is good. It's what this site is all about. This is the Campfire right? I've got a lot of respect for many members here that I vehemently disagree with on certain issues. I believe they are good ethical people who just don't see things the way I do. It's OK. Unfortunately, there are posters who make uncivilized remarks about others i.e. personal attacks, sexual innuendo, etc. Fortunately, Amanda has given us the ability to put these posters on "ignore". Currently, I don't have an ignore list BUT that will likely change soon. There are a few posters here that I've just about given up on.

Thought about caching water in the desert. My concern was that if not done correctly it could be fatal.

I'd recommend contacting Phoenix Fishing, ask for Ted. He usually knows what's going on in San Diego.

Can't wait to go roving. Have not done it in a VERY long time.

Urban trailcams.

Broke out a Howat Coronado recurve I got for my 12th birthday. It's 40# @ 28". Makes 43# at my draw length. Been having a blast out in the back yard. Shooting 500 spine carbons with 175 grain field points. Seem to come off the bow real nice. Have not seriously shot a recurve since 1972. Got a lot of work to do.

I'd say that photo represents a LOT of boot leather.

Thanks for posting. I may be nostalgic but nothing screams "old west" like horses, dogs & cats. Very cool.

Not very often do I see a Gila Monster, lived here all my life and have seen less than 20 (a guess). Yesterday while out scouting for javelina, went on a 5 mile hike and saw two. Amazing how different the markings are when you look closely. These two were found about 3/4 mile apart.

Traditional archery is FUN!. Just started shooting a recurve a few weeks back. Thinking my compounds can gather dust for a change.

Found the review, rather vague IMO. http://www.outdoorlife.com/blogs/hunting/new-15x-monster-binos

Saw most of them while riding dirt bikes on remote trails. Covered a lot of ground while doing it. Saw a lot of buzz worms too.

Epic! Congrats to all involved.

Could you post a link to the review you read?

God bless king snakes!
