Thanks TJ, let me know and we will definitely get with you to pick it up.

I've had good experiences with their warranty. Sent in a pair of pants one time that ripped. They put a patch on them and I was disappointed with the workmanship of the patch so I called them back. Received a brand new pair in the mail a few days later.

I researched the Stoeger M3500 (Stoeger is a subsidiary of Benelli) this past year based upon a recommendation from Big Browns and ended up getting one. I have been extremely impressed. It has shot and cycled everything I have put through it from 2.75" to 3.5" without fail. I think it would be very hard to beat it in a semi auto for under $1000 (it retails for around $600-$700). I have let a couple friends/family member in the market try mine. They all ended up getting one http://www.cabelas.com/product/Stoeger-Model-Semiautomatic-Shotguns/1229634.uts

Wouldn't work on turkey, but if a bear were traveling back and fourth to a kill site, you identified the route, and killed it on route, you would not be hunting over bait.

That sounds pretty awesome. All the craziness makes for good stories and memories. Congratulations again!

Remember, AZGFD will no be making calls for declined credit cards this year. They even state it on the receipt page of your online application (see picture below). Credit cards must be updated by 11:59 PM on Thursday 3/16/17. MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Based upon the last couple of draw cycles, I would assume the following: There will probably not be an email reminder to update credit cards. The process has gone very smoothly as of late, and the charging had started in the AM hours the next day after the deadline date to update credit cards. There will be a lot of people coming in here complaining about how unfair the process was.

Beautiful bird! Congratulations.

I'll have Draysen give you some pointers.

6 seats remaining? please explain are you selling seats and what do I get if I purchase a seat?Just get one and come hang out with the rest of us.

Will be there tomorrow.

Picked up the wife's card this year from Vortex. I think she'll love it.

Do you know what time the dinner and main activities will be starting? We just found out our son, who is coming with us, also has a Boy Scout camporee the night before and will probably be getting home late Saturday afternoon.

I'd put money on the card charging staring before 8:00 AM on Friday the 17th.

Also, your problem might be because you are trying to go in through your port hole instead of the portal. Sorry man, I couldn't help myself.

You dating each other? Seems suspicious that you both are responding to each other in a Valentines way? Am i missing something? What happens in the backwoods, stays in the backwoods.

Price? I have a buddy that has been looking.

Great deal on those 12x50s. Someone will be very happy with those.

I also have a Badlands harness. I really like it for the most part. It does great for my top two criteria. Keeps my bino completely covered and quick easy access. I've also heard really good things about AGC and may pick one of those up to try out. I really want something that isn't to bulky, but will hold my binos, range finder, and a few small items. From what I have seen, the AGC should fit that bill.

For some crazy unknown reason, I had never had a lot of desire or interest in javelina hunting until my oldest son was old enough to start hunting. We decided to give it a go together a few seasons back and failed miserably without so much a seeing a pig. Since that hunt, javelina has become something of an obsession. Unlike most other species I have hunted in my past, where I had friends to go with and coach me (I was not raised in a hunting family), most of this we learned on our own. My son has had four additional javelina tags/hunts. Each time we hunted them, we noticed we were improving slightly and our knowledge was growing. The second hunt resulted in plenty of fresh sign, but no pigs. On his third hunt we finally found a group of pigs, but blew them out as we tried to close the distance. It was about this time that we awarded ourselves the title of "Worst Pig Hunters in Arizona". On our fourth try we got into pigs again, but I didn't get him set up on a very good rest, and he missed his shot(s). This past youth season provided us with our fifth try, and first success. Dang it sure felt good to finally break through. We were able to spot this herd a couple of ridges over within the first 30 minutes of our first day. We closed the gap to 300 yards, and Draysen made a great shot. We had to pack it out of some steep and nasty terrain, but the long awaited victory made it well worth it. These unsuccessful and finally successful hunts were a priceless reminder to me about why I love hunting so much. It was my son and I out spending time together in beautiful country, studying a new animal (to us), learning it's habitats, patterns, etc., growing as hunters, and seeing lots of deer, coyotes, botcats, etc. A big thanks to many on here who have helped us out with coaching and tips along the way. I think (for now) we may actually retire the title of "Worst Pig Hunters in Arizona". We will see, my turn is coming up in a couple of weeks... A dead pig lay on the hill in the background. A few more pounds on his bones, and he will be packing out all his own animals AND MINE! The faces of VICTORY!

I spread it out over different credit and debit cards to not only avoid this, but by keeping track of who is on which card, I know who drew. You should be able to contact your bank or credit card company in advance of the draw and approve multiple charges of the same amount, as well as from specific organizations (AZGFD).

Yeah, I'm trying to not be jealous. Not yet 12 and a half, and he has more big game kills (7) than I do. I'm lucky to have such a great kid that loves hunting as much, if not more, than I do.

Couldn't agree more! As long as they start charging immediately after the deadline, there is no reason to call other than applicant irresponsibility. Where AZGFD runs into trouble is if the process is delayed after the cc update deadline, and people's credit card info changes between the deadline and the charging (cards stolen, lost, etc.).

Congratulations! Some great smiles there.

Most brass tumbling media (corn cob, walnut shell, etc. would be a good option. Moldable and very light.

Gotcha. If you are already carrying a tripod, it is hard to beat a triclawps in the situations you suggest. I keep one of these in my pack as well. http://www.triclawps.com/product-category/triclawps/
