    Calling in lions.

    If it's that simple, how many have you called and killed? Any pics?

    Looking for Chicken Coop

    We live west of Flagstaff about 20 miles. Our coop is an old gutted aluminum trailer with a 20x30 run attached. I covered the top of the run to keep the critters out. Temps get down to as low as -9 and we have never heated the coop. We have 15 hens of several different breeds and one rooster. We do run a heated water bucket, but that is all we do. In 4 years we have never lost a chicken. They do slow down with laying during the shorter days of winter, but even right now with temps in the teens at night, we are getting 8-10 eggs a day. We started with a cheap coop from Tractor Supply and 6 hens but realized right away it was too small. Good luck finding a coop!

    Tell us about your elk rifle, and cartridge?

    Not like I had hoped. The bullet blew up on the shoulder blade on a close shot. With the big .338's we have had the best luck with barns so I guess I will go to the 270gr barnes for my next hunt.

    wanted: Taxidermist with freeze dryer for velvet

    I've done this too. I have a buck that's 8yrs out of the freezer and still looks great.

    Crappie

    What is a good size perch? I took my boy out last fall and we caught a bunch that were about 8-10 long. I released them all because I thought they were too small to cook.

    Who’s got a custom muzzleloader

    I was looking into a smoke less build a few years back but I thought it wasnt legal in Az.

    Using salt and cameras to locate a specific buck

    I saw a buck in 2016 and wanted pics of him. I set up 3 salts and 4 cameras in that area. I got him 2 times on a trail leading to water, never on the salt. I have seen him a few other times. He is still there but never has gone to the salt.

    wolves

    Please tell me you don't actually believe that... Give me enough funding and I can get you a study to prove anything you want. I also don't trust the public school to actually educate my kid, so I doubt you and I could every find common ground for a fact based discussion. Facts are not "science", they are just reality.

    71 yrs old with 19 bonus points, what unit for a Bull

    I would pick a guide that can give you some good references and let them help you decide.

    I know it’s a long shot...

    Pretty sure there was a deer on the hunting Arizona group on Facebook. Pretty sure it was a mulie.

    Chicken killers revenge

    Bummer. Our neighbors lost 18 in one night to a family of coons. We haven't lost any yet, but we have a couple hounds in the back yard too.

    Help from NC

    I would really consider 33 if you are flying out and renting a car. Its very easy to get to good areas in a car in that unit.

    turned in Bull tags

    so a bunch of guys decided not to hunt because of a little snow and you guys are mad? Who cares.....

    2020 regs

    Pretty sure those are the kinds of numbers the g&f uses when setting hunt guidelines.

    2020 regs

    Its about time. I had a tag in 2012 and the numbers were down then.

    Carrying Rifle w/Chambered Round?

    It depends on the action. Lots of guns only have trigger block safeties anyway.
