  1. I started my son with a .410 because I had the one I started hunting with. Ammo was expensive and hard to find. He was mostly hunting squirrels and even 3in #4 shot was marginal and he complained about recoil. For Christmas I bought him a semi auto 20ga and he loves it. Ammo is much cheaper with a ton of options and he says it kicks less. With the .410 he would stop shooting after about 10 rounds but now with the 20ga he will shoot 2 boxes with no problem. This is the one I bought him.

    My favorite is 270wsm for whatever I'm shooting at, except for a bull elk.

    We killed 2 elk with it last year. They didn't take a step. My brother in law killed his sheep at 400yds and he tipped over and never moved. I agree not my go to elk round but its pretty good.

    They need to start making kayaks, and paddle boards be registered, like boats and canoes. Just me

    More government regulation so they make more money and it won't change anything?

    One of the issues that hasn't been discussed in the last few, is 30 dudes on a mountain have a negative impact on other people's hunts, and I dont think that's OK. A spotter sitting on a hill that another hunter with a tag wants to hunt is BS. Now another 29 dudes taking away "spots" from dudes with tags is major BS.

    That's a good point! On the late elk hunts I have run into guys several times just sitting at a glassing spot drinking coffee in case the hunter wants to go there.

    I would be very surprised if any trout were caught, it hasn't been stocked with trout in years. AZGFD is managing it as a warm water fishery now.

    I forgot about that. Funny thing is last time I took my boy there he was catching bluegill on a worm and bobber. After a few he caught a fish he caught a trout. But yeah it isn't stocked. We hardly every fish it because of how popular it is.

    Does he still do glassing lessons? I'm trying to get better and I also wanna see if he can teach my buddy how to glass too for his first hunt

    Just dump out a bag of corn and have him glass it

    Headed to Whitehorse next week with a 21’ trailer and two grandsons. I haven’t been there in years. 
    Anyone offer information about the road condition and is there a location in Williams to buy mealworms?

    thx 

    Bucks on Grand Canyon Blvd should have meal worms. Green Power Bait for trout is good right now. Roads are pretty good right now. I would take the 141rd in from the north its shorter than White Horse Lake Rd. Crawfishing is great now too. If the fishing is slow try Dogtown for trout. Its been really good .
