hate going into harbor freight - would rather just send my donation to china's "Destroy America Fund"... although I dont mind buying Chi-com second hand. Thx! GiG 602-524-2332

bump - this is a great bow, just too nice to hold only for back up.

bump for a great reliable and wicked accurate rifle! I keep one in my truck for coyote-control.

bump for a very fun weapon! I have an iridium laser site and surpressor on mine --- naughty, naughty fun!!!

I built a retaining wall and stone staircase outside my cabin - checked with forest service and they sent me to a rock place in chino valley - a few hours away to purchase stones that didnt match the area where my cabin is located... DUH! They told me though I could lawfully relocate stones from my own property - so that is what I did. More or less we are now trying to finish a wood burning stone area inside the cabin with a traditional river rock look. I found a builders surplus warehouse here in Phx that sells overstock, surplus, scatch an dent building materials of every kind - including tons of fake stone. I found a full crate of river rock for $200. WAY worth the hassle of "relocating" all the rock I needed for the retaining wall and staircase. Dont know if you have such a place in Tucson? good luck! I am sure it will be beautiful!

technically wouldnt they have to call them SUSPECTS or POTENTIAL POACHERS until they have been arrested and convicted? If the show doesnt bastardize and vilify what they are doing - then some might get the notion that it would be fun to try... rather than terrified of the consequence. Either way all suspects are innocent until found guilty - which in the peoples republic of California could be another series all together. Why not just air a few episodes of "PAYBACK - ANIMALS HAD ENOUGH" ... where preditors gang up and maul would-be poachers on camera??? Id watch that!

I KNOW that the med-weed is a hoax and babystep to legalize the weed... I know this because I have a few pot-head friends who are SOOooooo excited about the law passing. They arent using for med reasons, but have already figured out how to scam the system to smoke it legally. it stinks worse that the weed smoke!

bump for a bad_ss rifle at a sweat_ss price! I keep one of these in my trunk - just in case I would have rather had the folding stock - than the one I bought! Hey 200 million chinamen cant be wrong!

Right now it lives in our cabin in Crown King -waiting to be disassembled and brought down to Phoenix-metro area... perhaps even trucked to Picrotcho Peak to meet a committed buyer? Sorry no plasma trades - appreciate the interest, cant afford nuther hobby [other than guns and hunting]

Abel Talbo of Full Draw Archery will be conducting a 3-d event in Crown King in March. Crown King is only 40 nautical miles from Deer Valley Airport, about a ninety minute drive north of Phoenix... yes, the last 26 miles are county-maintained roads that can be dusty, bumpy and a fairly steep grade towards the end... but it is well worth climb! At 6000' the shoot will be held in beautiful pines with courses set up for kids and some handicap accessibility. the town itself has lodging and cabins for rent, there is plenty of good tent/pop-up camping - but it is not an RV friendly place. The restuarants, saloons and stores there will have lots of activities to make the trip fun and comfortable, there will be at least one live band on Friday and Saturday nite. Full Draw Archery will be advertising the event and you can follow them on FaceBook.

My son Grant is 12 and loves the outdoors and hunting! After a disappointing hunt last year, I made arrangements to ensure a memorable hunt with Mullins Outfitters. This may come to sound like a Mullins commercial, but I am a HUGE fan Jim [COOSEFAN], his dad Jim Sr, and the outstanding service we received from Mullin's team members Glen, Brian [bUTTERS] and Mullins friends like Brian "lucky" Hurley - who actually glassed up Grant's cow on Sunday afternoon. If you ask yourself why would anyone hire an outfitter for a youth cow hunt instead of a trophy antler hunt of some kind - you need only look at the expressions on our faces... it felt every bit like my hunt, even though my boy was the shooter. We arrived to find a very comfortable camp and hot grub all set up for us. It was rather cold opening day and that rotten weather that clobbered the valley was complicating matters for predicting elk behavior. We were into and on elk all weekend, but sitting tanks was not very productive and was not the hunting experience that the Mullins wanted for us. Besides we seemed to attract only bulls, which was exciting and good exposure for Grant, but Jim said he wouldn't allow us to saw the bull's horns off. We had friends who had scored at/near tanks, others were successful with spot n stalk... our secret weapon was Mullins experience and 'help from above'. Jim Sr, Glen, Brian 'Butters" and Hurley each took turns glassing from high points and calling instructions to us based on small herd movement. To our surprise, bulls were still with cows - so Grant got to hear bugling and witnessed, up-close-and-personal, Jim Jr. called-in a 3-peticle drop tine bull that gave us a show from about 20yrds while Jim talked dirty to keep him interested. Brian and Glen glassed-up a few cows in a wicked canyon on Saturday morning and cow gave Grant his taste of long range disappointment - which was a blessing in disguise because even with Brian's dad Dennis and their horses nearby offering to help any hunters in the area - it would have been a huge task to get the cow out without losing meat due to rising temps. Glen cautioned us that after 2days, Jim will ratchet up the intensity - even though were already wildly successful in seeing elk and getting a shot across that canyon at about 350yrds. By day 3 Jim warned us things could get a "a little nutty" - which they did. The elk had been pushed and chased for a few days - and Jim had kept us well away from any of the high traffic areas - in fact we didnt see one hunter in our hunting areas during our 3 days... sure we saw some fellas in Rhinos and trucks - but the Mullins wanted us to have a man-venture, unmolested and safe hunt... they delivered in spades! We had walked our butts off and my knees were SHOT... but I kept my mouth shut and took lots of Advil. Our spotters had noticed a sanctuary of sorts where the elk seemed to be hiding, and would only appear in late afternoon. Jim decided that despite how thick the cover was - we could at least get into some action with help from our spotters. Sunday afternoon Hurley spotted the elk, right where they had been hiding before and we hauled butt to get into position. Although Mullins had filmed his entire hunt, Jim Jr. told Jim Sr and me that we would have to sit-this-stalk-out. It was a long shot to sneak up on a herd of about 15 and he didnt want the exposure of 2 extra fellas. I was texting my wife that Grant was on an unlikely stalk when I heard from the spotters that the group of elk had run into the flats and the stalk was over. Little did I know that Jim Jr. and Grant had made 2-3 attempts to talk their way into the thick stuff - then backed out. Having heard the stalk was fubar I grabbed Jim's pack and headed towards the truck as I was told to do if we weren't successful. As I got into the thick stuff I 'bout soiled myself as I busted an elk at close range - not sure if it was a cow or bull, not sure if I had ruined my boy's stalk... I hit the deck as I heard Jim cow-calling. What I didnt know was there was one last cow that didnt bail with the herd... Jim and Grant had been trying to coax her into the open so he could get a shot. In my accidental way, I helped get that cow into the open long enough for Jim to get her attention with a cow call. When she came out and hesitated for a moment, Jim told Grant that if he had a clear shot to take it! With so much cover the only option Grant had was a head-shot - which he took at about 75yrds from Jim's tripod using his Grandpa's 25-06. The spotters said the heard both the report of the rifle and the SMACK of the impact to her head from a mile and half away! Jim and G told me the concussion shook her melon so hard that her head snapped back and dust flew everywhere! Then strangely enough she turned and pogo-stick hopped on her hind legs a few times - perhaps instinct told her she was in a fight with another cow?? She didnt drop right away which really scared me - Jim Sr said successful head shots usually drop them where they were struck - or you often didn't recover the animal. Clearly Grant had hit her hard. She left a blood trail the likes of which I wish I had had on critters I had shot in the past... Grants shot had severed her jugular vein and she managed to run about 200yrds with her throat shot out... before she coughed out a HUGE puddle of blood and expired a few yards away. Of course he's gotta call his mom and tell her all about his man-venture!!! I cant say enough about the professional service and kindness we received from the Mullins Team! They made us feel like kings in camp and in the field! We were successful and satisfied long before my son harvested his first big game animal - they saw to every detail and delivered a memorable hunt - that we will never forget. THANK YOU JIM, JIM, GLEN, BRIAN, and HURLEY! We will never forget the experience y'all delivered. I am thankful most especially to the Good Lord for keeping us safe and allowing us to humanely harvesting one of His beautiful creatures.

ditto - great buck! As for looking pissed - he probably took offense to being ventilated sith an arrow then having his head cut-off and mounted.... just guessing.

The Crown King Chamber of Commerce is working with a respected 3-D services provider to plan an event during the weekend of March 5th or 12th - which seems to be a good "tweener" time for hunting seasons. Crown King is about an hour and a half from my home in north Phoenix, hidden in the south end of the Bradshaw Mtns in mining community rich with history. At 6500' elevation, March will be cool days and brisk nights, but lots of camping spots are available close to the proposed shooting area. The Chamber thought it would be a good way to bring families up to CK to enjoy the scenery and amenities. In addition to being comparatively close to metro-Phoenix area, it has elevation for pines, lots of deviations in terrain and vegetation as well as a couple great restaurants to take your family for a sit-down meal, hotels, cottages and B&B's to stay over with no hassle, stores to pickup what you forgot to bring, one of the oldest saloons in the state, and at least one live band for entertainment. THE CHAMBER IS COMMITTED TO HOSTING AN EXCELLENT EVENT - So they are very interested in hearing from sportsmen about what things they have liked or been disappointed by at other 3-D shoots. I have only been to one - so I dont have a lot to compare to... but it was about a 3hr drive for me up by Kelly Canyon Rd off I-17. I thought being a LOT closer to town with a few easy options to stay over nite and closer facilities would have made it even more enjoyable. WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK

I also bought a second-hand pack that had some stiching issues - normal wear for the beating it took. I called and got repair ticket number and sent them the pack - it came back repaired and reinforced in a very reasonable amount of time. of course this was a few yrs ago.

bring a good insulated thermos with boiled water. If you are concerned about scent control be careful of the contents - tea is a good choice. But what better way to raise your core body temp by ingesting hot/warm liquid that your bod disburses. That trick has helped in some wicked-cold treestands

FYI - saw a similar ad on AZ Shooting indicating SPF

Go ahead, rain on my 2 second parade of hope! Mark PS: Remember, "gay" really means happy, not homosexual. The word "gay" was hijacked by the homosexual agenda to attempt to normalize the abnormal. At least we have Jan Brewer - who already said we will line up the lawyers to fight the 9th Thircuit Court of Degenerates. Where are the quakes and fires that SF deserves???

My son just harvested his first cow elk with 25-06 built on an old FN Mauser action AND a Shepard scope matched to the 25-06 ballistics. I LOVE the rifle... actually had it re-barrelled a few years ago from a wildcat 25-270. Call me some time if you want to see it or possibly meet up at Ben Avery to shoot it.

was there a website for the nipple clips?
