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.

Thanks guys, getting same reports elsewhere. Got my AZ Coues tag, Meopta it is.

Trying to decide which to buy. I have the 8x32 Cabelas/ Meopta and that is a serious piece of work, no doubt top tier glass. I have the zeiss conquest 10x42 and the glass is A+ as well, but the Meoptas far exceed the zeiss mechanically. I have had a lot of problems with the Zeiss eye cups. I...

I am stoked, my CC just got hit for $300 so I got a NR deer tag. I selected 5 choices on the application I’d be real happy with any of them. real luck for me zero points NR. Really hope I got unit 27, hunted that area as a kid in the 60s. So this would be a bucket list hunt for me.

Never hunted bears in CA, any suggestions for a place to start?

I missed the opener, planning on hunting midweek next week. Any reports from D16?

These guys do a good job. https://www.backcountryhunters.org/

Is that section of BLM West of Thoeny worth a scout for next year deer seasons?

another BLM land grab, please sign the petition, protect access to this area in MT https://www.change.org/p/jamie-connell-state-director-blm-montana-save-our-durfee-hills-public-lands

agree^^^^ gleninaz Shotgun Joe satisfies the centrist voters and EW makes the farther left and banker haters happy. I personally do not think HC will suvive what will come out of emailgate and the movie about Benghazi coming in 2016. I read "13 Hours in Benghazi" the book the movie is...

I will use this spotting scope for deer and elk hunting Western states, combined w/ 8x binos. I would rather go with the XW20 (19x) for the wider view if I can get the same detail resolution, yet everyone raves about the XW14 (29x). I will also use this for rifle range max 300 yards. Anyone use...

Guys, I am looking for an OTC cow elk tag for this fall, Colorado, Idaho, or Wyoming, just wanting to get some good meat in the freezer, trophies not required. Any suggestions on a feasible hunt / zone?

rules say legal bow must cast a legal hunting arrow 130 yards horizontally. I am coming off an arm and back injury, I would think a 35# bow would be legal.

thanks

What do you guys think is the optimal time to hunt the burns and clear cuts, how many years after event?

Thanks Jester, PM sent

I am trying to determine the best OTC tag, backpack rifle hunt if my draws don't make it. I can take 2 weeks to get away, I have a jeep and am capable of backpacking 4-5 miles a day no problem (like to keep things comfortable). What tag would you guys take considering the described...

anyone know a source for high quality wood arrow shafts, I want to give trad a try

My only experience is with 8x binos and see the need for a higher magnification top quality tripod bino, I'm always wanting to see the details on the next ridge over! The 8x just can't do it. The 12x50 Euros are on sale now at 799, I will be using these in the Southwest US on deer, antelope and...

for the hunting I do I can't imagine anything better than the 3x9x40 zeiss conquest scope I have. MY maximum range is 300 yards and legal hunting hours, this scope can do all that and from the looks of it after 6 years and never needing to touch the turrets it's been zeroed for 6 years now I may...
