Coues Deer
That's a pretty good plan, coues deer hunting is all about glassing — you have to find the little buggers first. A solid tripod and a glassing pad make a huge difference for long sessions. Most guys run 15x56s, but they aren’t mandatory. What is mandatory is good‑quality glass you can look... -
Arizona Draw Results 2026
The best chance to get into any pre‑rut Coues activity is at the end of December. If I had to pick one stretch of days, I’d hunt the last week of the season over any other week. That’s when you start seeing the classic pre‑rut stuff — bucks checking does, more daylight movement, and younger...- .270

Flagstaff
It's a 2hr drive from Phoenix, when the valley is 115 everyday those resourceful tweakers get the 40 bucks for a greyhound to Flag. Don't want to leave after that.- .270

And Utah says, Hold my Beer!
This will have to make me think more about keep entering in the Utah draw, I already just view it as a lottery ticket. I don't really plan on drawing anything but you cant win if you don't play. Might just use that money on raffle tickets here in AZ. -
Big Bullets for Big Animals?
Similar to the 8mm Rem Mag, I have used a 325 wsm with 200 gr partition for an elk hunt, brown bear and multiple deer hunts. That round has always been good to me. I am dabbling with a 340 wby this year and will probably take it on an elk hunt in the fall. I have a control feed M70 gathering... -
Arizona fall draw 2024
Should be a fun hunt. Mule deer populations are down but they will be rutting towards the end of the hunt. Younger coues might be chasing but dont count on rutting activity with them. If you have a limited time available, the later part of the hunt will have a better chance of seeing some rut...- .270

In Defense of Mountain House -- a Treatise
Sweet and sour pork is my all time favorite. I use my limited supply as a reward while fishing on the stocked city pond. While there are 3 bags for sale on ebay for 75 bucks, I restrain myself.- .270

Need slim trim scope ideas for new 7mag
Have you looked into the Swaro Z3 line? They have a 4-12x50, since you want a little more power. I am not familiar with your colt light rifle but my Z3 has no problem with bolt throw on a kimber hunter and talley lows. I see SFC beat me to it. -
What's the longest distance you would hike for an elk?
I have done 4 miles with 2K feet elevation gain. Took me 2.5 days solo, probably the farthest I will go. Unless I see a bull just over the ridge. -

Muzzle break, do you cover while hunting??
I have seen no difference in groups at the range with untaped and electrical taped muzzle brakes. I have read arguments about the pros and cons of muzzle brakes but the point about animals have ears also is a first. Sits right up there with pumping your own gas is dangerous, better let a... -
