It is a rifle tag and I will get assigned a ranch, my buddy told me Unit 13 by Datil but did not tell me the ranch.I guess I figured it doesn't matter which ranch if there are lopes in the unit then they would likely get pushed around. But yes it is a ranch only tag. THX BB

Thanks guys, I drew one of the ranch hunts that I will get assigned. I haven't seen where I find out, all I know is I was told I have a unit 13 tag by Datil. I guess I figured it did not matter too much with a ranch only tag but it sounds like there are some decent lopes in 13 so maybe one will...

I drew the any weapon hunt, so I imagine rifle is the best way to go. THX DAN

I know any antelope tag (in any state)is a good one, because you are huntin speed goats! What can I expect from unit 13? Is a 14 inch goat possible or larger? Not sure what to expect other than I know I will have fun. Just wondering how much fuel and beer to take. Any issues filling a tag near...

Check out the Outdoorsman tripod, pretty much bomb proof and all kinds of accessories that you can buy from bino adapters to gun rests to extension tubes to go taller. I have one for hunting and have never looked back on what I spent for it. They are not inexpensive. BB

check the reg's and do a word search for condor to see for yourself but it is optional but really, really encouraged for hunters to be lead free. If you decide to use lead, it is really, really encouraged that you bury all of the remains from your harvest so the condors are not attracted to the...

If you have the means, hire an outfitter. If it matters to you that someone else plays a heavy hand in harvesting your animal them go DIY. A lot of folks score while going DIY but keep in mind it is once in a lifetime. It is a 2 day hunt (at least it was some 10 years ago when I went) and I...

Brian, I travel up into that area from Phoenix quite a bit. I would definitely travel through Springerville and then up into Alpine and have lunch. Then what you were told about the time to drive down 191 is pretty accurate, very pretty country but 15 MPH curves most of the way down. If you...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-04-14 AT 09:16PM (MST)[p]The only 2 I know that get recommended regularly are Magnum Mikes ----be prepared to wait as real busy American Armory Inc-- I have had some trigger work done and very happy. Both on the west side but I'm sure you can find competent folks on the east...

Get a Montana Decoys Moo cow, it is better. BB

Brian, I use a walking stick almost everywhere I go. I have a couple different ones and finally sprung for the Outdoorsman walking stick. I started with a $20 off Craigslist to see if I would use it and it was very useful and did not get in the way. I screwed on a shooting V for rifle and I...

I use a Kodiak 10X14 canvas flexbow tent, takes maybe 10 minutes to set up. Stake out the floor and then place the end posts and roof bar and stake out the guy lines. I use Cabelas outfitters tarps over the top to make sure I never have any problems. They also make a 10X10 if you want smaller. I...

I've got the tag too Don, you will have a great time if it stops raining up there. Mosquitos are almost as healthy as the elk! There are good head of elk almost anywhere you go in that 27. I mean that with all seriousness. They are not as plentiful in the southern half of the unit but there are...

call 800-222-0118 Leica America or go to www.leicacamerausa.com they should be able to help you BB

Cow tags are under the draw system. There could be some tags left but they are probably all gone. there are areas where you can buy over the counter tags for any elk. Check with game and fish, the over the counter tags are few elk that are not easy to find but people do tag some. They want to...

Badlands Bino case fit perfectly BB

LAST EDITED ON Jul-20-13 AT 12:57PM (MST)[p]Cabelas Meindel AirRevolution, light weight, no insulation and durable. MY feet get hot easily and these are the best I have found for early season hunts. BB

LAST EDITED ON May-05-13 AT 00:56AM (MST)[p]Thanks for the feedback. Ya I know it's a little whining and a little late. Allen, I do attend some of the meetings. at least a couple each year but can't make every one. I don't recall hearing anything about the scent use over the last year. Pretty...

P.S. One more item, if leaving the salt and supplements legal for baiting is better than outlawing scents, that would be 1,000 times more likely to spread CWD than an elk licking my camo. I can pretty much tell you that if an elk comes across a salt lick, they are going to give it a little lick...

Allen, Where do you get your data from on the urine coming from CWD states? Not to argue the point with anyone either, but you cannot transfer CWD without direct contact of exchange of fluids or possible consumption of meat from the infected carrier. The elk would have to lick my camo to come...

I've had 2 different Polaris Sportsman 500's and I still have a 2005 Ranger 500 all with over 4K miles on each of them and never had so called trouble with any of them. I never even replaced any belts on them. The only thing on the Ranger is the oil tank under the seat broke at the mounting...

Did any of you notice that we can no longer use urine based lures or cover scents any more in AZ? Check out the new regulations that were just released R12-4 -303. 2. An individual shall not use or possess any of the the following while taking wildlife: c. Any lure, attractant or cover scent...

Just to clarify, if you backpack in most of the time you are going to want to buy a smaller spotting scope like a 60MM to 65MM and none of those scopes are going to be 60X magnification. They will have a 20-60X eyepiece but the true magnification will be something like 16-48X due to the size of...

Yukon, You blew your NR cover when you called them Dept of Wildlife, they are AZ Game and Fish Dept :-) Good luck in the draw. We didn't get to meet on your Kaibab hunt but I was up there the same time as you. BB

Yukon, I second the balcom, there is nothing better. It is a small arm with a ball on it that mounts on your bow (usually the cable guard)and it comes with a shoulder strap that the arm hooks onto. I pitched the shoulder strap and tied a parachute cord loop onto my pack shoulder strap and hang...

Integral designs if you don"t mind spending a little money. If I remember the specs on mine it is 8X10 and only 14 Ounces. I got mine used on ebay for $60 or $70. Packs up like a small softball. BB

Nice pics smoketem, I really like the small 4pt that is walking away from you, sweet shot and all are great pics. I am jealous as work has me swamped and I still haven't gotten out for any pics with T3i yet. Keep em coming! BB

Lot's of bad people on here to but ignore them and welcome aboard! BB

Funny you gent's should bring this up, I need to dig through my gear because I seem to recall purchasing one of those long adapter tubes that converts to 1000MM F/13 for my Leica 77 APO spotting scope some years back. I need to see if I can find it and try out the digiscoping with it for the...

Try out the Solio chargers, they are small sized like a computer mouse and have 3 solar blades that fan out. I think they were called the classic, universal and magnesium edition. The have some different models also but I liked these small ones. You just leave it set up by your tent while out...

I like Canon, and have never had a problem with any Canon;s I have bought and I have 10+. I use a SD800 and an SX210 quite often and they take great pics. The SX210 is a few years old and the SD800 is most likely 10 years old so I don't know by today's standards what is comparable. The SD800...

I use the Storm front jacket and pants with two different under layers, the Kelvin jacket and pants for cold weather and the 90% jacket and pants for moderate climate. If it's really cold like it was on my sheep hunt I wore both underneath the storm front. I sat all day in 15-20 degrees...

RE: DSLR Virgin Need Helper Never mind Pete, I found out that all of my lenses from the T1i will work on both of the cameras. My decision got made for me too as i got the T3i for Xmas. I couldn't be happier, I had to take a picture of breakfast before I ate it. Merry Xmas to all! BB

Congrats to one and all, great job putting a smile on that hunters face! Sheep backstraps for Xmas dinner, yum! BB

RE: DSLR Virgin Need Helper Pete, I'm assuming they will but wanted to make sure, Are all of the lenses I have for my T1i going to connect to both the T3i or T4i no problems? I appreciateif you know for sure, I'm still tossing around which one to get. Cameraland has some pretty good prices...

RE: DSLR Virgin Need Helper Pete, I just saw some video from a Canon T4i and and you're right it was pretty awesome but i talked with the guy and he said the same thing as you mentioned and that I alluded to, stay with the video cameras if you want to catch your videos on the fly. As you...

Smoke--If you want to take videos stay with a video camera, if you want to take photos then go with a DSLR. The video camera will take better video and is made for taking videos and is easier to operate for movies. If you want to go for photos go with the DSLR for way better photos than the HF21...

I love mine but you sacrafice a little to have 1 pair of binos with you. I have Leica 10X42's and Swaro 15X56 and the 10-15 Duovids and both pair of bino's have a slightly better crispness out near the edges of the field of view over the Duovids but I'm sure most people would not be able to...

Joel, Do you have any Xmas specials coming up for the T4i? THX BB

Wondering if anyone has tried out Hercules tires yet? I see they are priced considerably less than the brand names we are used to but not sure I want to test the waters on them without some feedback from those that have tries them. Any input is appreciated! THX BB
