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

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?
thegunsmith2506 replied to Stray Horse's topic in Elk Hunting
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
thegunsmith2506 replied to ZJARCHER's topic in Classified Ads
I've done this too. I have a buck that's 8yrs out of the freezer and still looks great. -
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.

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
thegunsmith2506 replied to LonePineOutdoors_AZ's topic in Coues Biology
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. -
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
thegunsmith2506 replied to GoldToyBox's topic in Elk Hunting
I would pick a guide that can give you some good references and let them help you decide. -
Pretty sure there was a deer on the hunting Arizona group on Facebook. Pretty sure it was a mulie.

Chicken killers revenge
thegunsmith2506 replied to Explorer's topic in Predator Hunting and Trapping
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. -
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.
-
so a bunch of guys decided not to hunt because of a little snow and you guys are mad? Who cares.....
-
Pretty sure those are the kinds of numbers the g&f uses when setting hunt guidelines.
-
Its about time. I had a tag in 2012 and the numbers were down then.
-
It depends on the action. Lots of guns only have trigger block safeties anyway.
