Hey all, anybody going to be in 65 for early rifle or muzzy (Sept 9-17)? My buddy, who’s hunted it before, is probably a no-go due to a health issue he found out about this week. Just seeing if anybody else will be up there to link up with, if I’m up there solo, and things go haywire. My tag...

Hey all, need some more experienced perspective. Have an older Savage 110 (flat back receiver from late 90s) I bought second hand that had an accidental discharge this past weekend, luckily while pointing in a safe direction. I was chambering a round with the muzzle straight up, and butt on my...

Hey all, Anybody have a youth tag for 20B pigs this fall? October 8th-14th? It will be my son's first hunt in AZ and want to make sure he has fun, whether filling his tag or messing around camp (hopefully both!!). I should be able to scout a bit these next couple weekends, and be out for the...

Hey all, How do you carry around extra fuel in your truck? I always have a 5 gallon plastic jug in my truck bed for emergencies, generators, etc.; but I'm tired of my whole truck bed smelling like gas...it doesn't leak, but expands/contracts and I just hate smelling up everything that I have...

Shooting in the desert yesterday, eyes and ears on of course. Waiting for my rifle to cool, I was shooting my 9mm at one of those steel spinning targets at about 15 yards. Couple magazines and was shooting well and a sharp sting in my forearm and stomach. Finished the magazine and figured a bee...

Helping with some late hunts these last couple weeks, had me thinking.. Why the hell to people buy these SxS, Razors, Rhinos, etc.? I've grow to despise them. - They're noisy as hell - Riding in one is dusty/muddy/cold/windy/uncomfortable - Expensive as hell - Noisy as hell - NOisy as hell -...

Was shooting at the same field I shot at all summer (though now it's not 115 when I go), and never had an issue. Was about 2 shots into my set and felt the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Something was wrong...wasn't sure what at the exact moment, but started looking around and boom...

Well, thought I'd report back after the last 15 days in the field chasing bulls in eastern AZ. Overall, it was a challenging, enlightening, and humbling experience. I had some great friends up to help from time to time, and could not have done it without them!! Whether helping track, guiding my...

Have a premium bull tag here in AZ starting next week. Probably shot over 3,000 arrows since draw results in April.... Shot 19 last night dead nuts, and shot 20 went waaayyy left...look down and this... 06 Tribute...my baby since it was born.....i'm gonna puke "...I'd rather be tried by...

Helluva deer from Nevada. Say what you think about Randy, but I've had the pleasure to meet him a few times, shoot at his home, and meet his family. Great guy, very generous, and always happy to chat with we knuckle-draggin fanboys. And he's the man, myth and legend when it comes to muleys...

I've been known to rig things up a bit?as an homage to the engineer/tinkerer in my blood??.Alright, it's mostly because I'm cheap? Was tired of lugging around my bulky expedition, internal frame pack on day trips. Though it is comfortable and light (BlacksCreek Barbarian Featherlight), it is a...

I like the idea of having an all-round rifle, which I understand will be a give and take. Considering I bow hunt, I'd like to always have a trusty all-purpose rifle if I have the opportunity to use it. Not really looking for a caliber debate. Below is my current setup, which I know is...

I've had some great work done on deer/elk, but has anybody had any fish mounted and/or restored? My Grandpa just passed away, and he has a huge walleye (from the 1960s) I would like to restore and mount with the walleye I caught when I was a kid. He always said his was bigger, but thought it...

Hey all, my snowbird Dad is coming down from MO for Christmas and we'd both like to see if we can get into some quail. I've seen gambels around when hunting other things, but haven't really concentrated on hunting them much. Any landscape traits I should look for? Elevation? Washes? Water...

All, Had a great time this fall hunting with a few tags filled, but I can't help but starting to think about how to get better at putting animals on the ground in the west. I grew up in Missouri (tree stand hunting) and spring turkey calling. Moved to AZ after college and been trying to learn...

All, Was a tough but good hunt on the North Kaibab (12AW) this year. I've hunted there 3 times in the last 11 years (2 early and 1 late) and each one was a challenge for one reason or another?.as all good hunts are. My brother-in-law and I were both drawn, but he wasn?t able to come up until...

Just swapped my big boy spotter for a set of 15s, which I've loved for hunting so far. Problem is, I've been practicing my longer (for me) rifle shots, and I can't see my shots on target past a couple hundred yards with the 15s on a tripod. I don't want to hike 300 yards out, just to see that I...

Hey all, Had a late cow elk hunt this past weekend where it was pretty dang cold...as in 2 degrees in the morning. I had left my ammo and rifle out in my car (enclosed) over night. When out in the field, I tried to work the action to chamber a round and the bolt was reeeeeaaalllly hard to...

All, Found a big bull kill this past weekend here in AZ on the second day of the archery hunt. Was hiking out of a canyon and found the skull/rack, bones scattered, along with some hide, etc. Stunk to high heaven. I know there's always the chance he was hurt and the predators got him; but...

Just bought my first home, so I wanna make sure I don't blow it up! The bedrooms aren't wired for ceiling fans/lights, and the only switch controls an outlet. Sooooo.... I put in another switch, ran a new line up through the wall to the fan, and installed the fan. Here's how I did it...

Calm down mods...and Feleno...I'm talking about Christmas Trees! So, I just bought my very first house, and the wifey and I are all moved in. With Christmas around the corner, what are you guys putting up? Arguments for or against? Real: Smells better. Is obviously natural and homey feeling...

Well, my Dad and I just got back from the Kilbuck Mountains in Alaska for 2 weeks of black/brown bear hunting. It was an awesome trip, and we both filled our tags! Check out the Alaska forum for the writeup. I had alot of recommendations from alot of people, regarding gear, so here is what...

I just got back from my Alaska black (me)/brown bear (Dad) hunt with my Dad. Wow, what an experience! We had a great time, and it was definitely a challenge we won't soon forget. Packed and ready to go (thanks to all for the gear recommendations!), my wife took me to the Phoenix airport early...

27 days till my Dad and my first hunt in SW Alaska for Brown and Black Bear! Game: Brown Bear (Dad) and Black Bear (Me). Possibly wolf and wolverine. Where: SW Alaska When: September 1-15 Setup: Guided with small shack or canvas tent basecamp. No weight restrictions specified; but there could...

So my dad and my AK combo hunt is within our sights, and I'm getting towards the end of my "things to buy" list. I have a good shell set, and good base layers. I don't intend to wear my shell set unless it gets nasty, so these pants would have to handle the typical activity as well as kneeling...

I have a brand new Rem 700 Stainless in .300 WinMag. I've put probably 140 rounds through it so far, and have some trouble loading 3 rounds in the magazine. It's the spring magazine, not the detachable. I would say it loads 3 in the magazine every 6 or 7 tries. I can push the rounds down, so I...

LAST EDITED ON May-16-10 AT 06:00PM (MST)[p]Soooo, here's my typical hunting situation. I'd like to get your guys input on a pack recommendation...hope it hasn't been beat to death already!: Hunt type: Usually day trips. Spot and stalk. Exertion: Lots of hiking Weapon: Bow Equipment: Full...

My Dad and I are going on the trip of a lifetime this fall, up in AK for brown bear, black bear, and caribou. His 60th birthday is coming up, so I'd like to get him a really nice hunting album to remember our trip by. I'd like something really nice, leatherbound or the like, and allows lots of...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-14-10 AT 08:07AM (MST)[p]I'm in the process of selling my 01 Ford Ranger, since it's too small for my use (family and hauling) and getting high in miles. So, in the reading i've been doing, I'm looking at a 97-02 F250 with a 7.3L Powerstroke. I don't tow all that much (a...

After 6 searches and 10 pages, I can't find much of anything on new rifle break in procedures. I've heard a couple different schools of thought on break in; but i'm up for suggestions! Thanks! "...I'd rather be tried by twelve than carried by six..."

I just bought some Leica BRF 8x42s from CameralandNY (great deal, thanks Doug!!), and needed a harness for them. I was tired of all the bouncing of the regular elastic strap harnesses, so I swung up to Outdoorsmans to pick up the Alaska Guide Creations Bino Pouch. The product was made with...

In my continuation to my 15x56 vs Spotter thread, I've been thinking about my current setup, or rather what I am saving for my setup to be? Currently I have Cabela?s Euro 10x42s. I love the glass (especially for the $); but in my trips this fall, I've noticed the standard 10x42s, power vs...

After 9 years, my buddy Jim finally got drawn for 17b Archery Antelope hunt here in AZ. We shot our bows all summer (I only shot mine for OTC deer tags..), and were ready to go. We headed up to our spot the night before opening day, and got ready. We decided that I would sit up on one of the...
