We used the little buddy heater on a late December hunt in an 8x12 tent. One night was -5 and we ran it all night with one window open about 6in. It stayed warm enough to sleep with your bag unzipped. I would also recommend an extra carbon monoxide detector.

I think this is the one you were talking about.

G$F stopped him, asked what he was doing. The guy got sited for illegally hunting in the wrong unit designated on his tag!
That would never hold up in court. There had to be more to the story.

My buddy just got his CA back after sending it in for many issues. They sent him a new barreled action and its still a huge POS. I wouldn't ever buy a rifle from that company. It still wont't shoot 1 moa.

I know a few people that have done it for elk. Game warden told them they were fine as long as the animal was clearly in the unit the tag was good for.

Very cool. I shot one in 19a that was 21lbs. By far the biggest I have ever killed. I am still trying to decide on a rug or lifesize mount.
-
That's a great looking rug. What did that cat weigh?

That's a lot of turkey fans!

Anyone know if he drove a white Dodge Dakota 4x4?
I have seen him around Williams the last couple of years on the late hunt. First time I saw him I knew he looked familiar but I couldn't place him. Then I read his shirt. It was his guide service shirt with his name on it. That was the 2017 season and he had clearly been out helping/hunting. Not really sure what unit.

I would buy the xbolt and never look back. I did a lot of reading on some forums awhile back trying to help a friend pick a new rifle. I saw more bad reviews on the CA than many other guns priced much less. He ended up with a CA and it had to go back for multiple issues. I have setup 6 xbolts now, and every one has worked and shot very well. I would spend the extra money on optics and ammo. Good luck!

I got a muley hunt next week but going to be on the far far west side
The smoke shouldn't be an issue by then. We are on the west side and don't even see it here.
-
Just a heads up to anyone with this hunt. The fire is causing lots of smoke on the east side of the unit. Good luck!

The Cashbox in Tucson use to be great. I haven't been in a few years, but I use to always find a good deal. Several years back I bought a S&W 15-3 out the door for $100

He is one of those guys that waits untill the last second and now he's having gun issues. I plan on pulling my Tikka barrelled action out of a chassis and putting it in there hunting stock I have if I can locate the bottom metal and magazine.
This drives me nuts. Hope you find what you need.

If it was me, I would spend money on a good tripod and head. I really don't see much of a difference in binos in the $150-$500 range. I would look through as many as you can and pick the ones you like the best. Then start saving for high end optics if that is what you want. I killed a plenty of deer with a pair of $100 nikon binos on a good tripod. I wasted hundreds of dollars "upgrading" with mid grade optics. I wish I would have been patient and just saved until I got what I really wanted.

19 minutes ago, trphyhntr said:well obviously searching for it the day after the season is the right thing to do. and if you found it alive and had to put it out of it misery thats also the right thing to do. talking about it on the internet, wrong thing to do.
That is sound advice

Its slowing down, but I am sure you will hear a few.

Stuffed mine in a flat rate box. Then I got rid of it. Just like vortex, great warranty, too many issues.

Another vote for Ventana Canyon. My wife loves that place. Get a balcony with a view of the mountains and it is almost tolerable.

We had a good day considering we are not real duck hunters. We got 9 ducks and 2 geese. Took a lot of walking and a lot of paddling the canoe, but it was fun how did everyone else do?

They were going great during the hunt.

They are really going crazy in 8 and 7w right now.

Shooting from one unit into another????
in The Campfire

That doesn't say the hunter has to be in that unit. If the animal he is hunting/pursuing/shooting is in the correct unit, where does it state the hunter has to be? I have never done this, nor do I plan to, but I know it happens and I think it is still a gray area.
