I get the latest news from AZDFG. This morning I read about the new and improved shift of the department to “ conservation”. They have listed 300 species as needing conservation, a lot of rodents and bats. Pretty much anywhere you find a mouse, bat, frog or fish will be fair game for “...

I saw a wolf just south of Parkfield CA a few years ago. Thought it odd he was a lone wolf. he was in a head to head stand-off with an elk, he was braced to attack. I have seen many wolves in AK, even filmed them. This was a wolf.

5 million in Phoenix! After what I saw last week for the whitetail early rifle, looked to me like those 5 million people moved into tents and trailers in the mitchel peak and grey peak area.

Thanks for the response, made the decision to lace up the boots and get the backpack out, heading to the ”Blue” to hike in for the duration.

Any other areas where there are Coues in 28 other than Mule Creek Pass? Peloncillo Mtn or Fishook Wilderness? Any other options ….not too excited about 500 hunters overwhelming init 27 on opening day. I’ll hunt 28 if its a viable option.

That’s a “me too” the Helinox Zero” has been a game changer allow me to backpack. No way could I tolerate a sit pad or 3 legged stool.

Tried different brands, MH by far the best, not bad at all.

Go to your brokerage account buy ticker symbol LAND. Do things the easy way, let the most efficient organizations do the work. Nothing but a very bright future owning LAND.

…... I just received the Meopta 15x56, I think they will do just fine. Too bad Zeiss dropped the ball on the quality control for the eyecups in the Conquest line, Zeiss has lost me until I become a movie star and can afford the Victory line of products.

You guys think a 4x12 is too little magnification? Unit 27 has a lot of canyons those deer are small and hard to see. ( thinking out loud here). I can’t see myself attempting a shot over 450 yards, I think a quality 4x12 should perform. Reluctant to get into the bigger scopes. I can find a good...

I should probably upgrade my scope. I was drawn for the early rifle hunt unit 27, my first hunt of this kind. Wondering what you experienced Coues hunters use for rifle scope. Don’t think my fixed power 6x42 is going to perform as needed.

Haven’t used a chair for glassing yet as I am new to this style of hunting. That being said I have used the Helinox zero on backpacking trips where weight was a consideration, the comfort to weight ratio is well worth every ounce. (1lb) that chair is at the very top of my gear list.

Kinda doubt we will see a lot of NR hunters racing to hunt CA.
