My hunting partner and I hiked over 100 miles in 10 days to finally find a ram I really liked. We were backpacked in when I spotted this guy at the top of the mountain doing what rams do. A lengthy and tricky stalk put me on my 6.5 creedmoor at 400yds waiting for him to stand. I rested my head...

If you enjoy chasing elk, mule deer, antelope and coues deer in Arizona you need to pay attention to this one. Take note of the new bill, HB2210, that just cropped up in our AZ state legislation -

Would that not be in violation of FB terms of use?
I'm selling my Mystery Ranch Metcalf Gen1 (bag only) along with the Lid and I'm tossing in a free DIY meat shelf (I used to pack my wife's elk out with last year using my long bow bag).
Note: Mystery Ranch is no longer selling the individual bags and you now have to buy the entire pack w/frame...
Let me preface this in that I've reloaded 10's of thousands of pistol rounds but never got into reloading rifle cartridges. Time to change that.
So I'm looking to start collecting components and need to find out if there is a powder that would work with both a 7mm mag and a .308, or do I need...
After a quick search I didn't see this posted but apologize if it's redundant.
With the talks of a Grand Canyon Watershed Natl Monument on the line this is something Az Strip/Kaibab hunters might want to look at.

Who's bright idea was it to turn public trust animals over to a private ranch in the first place? What setup the state for such an ordeal. I'm guessing I'm missing a lot of the history behind this but I'm baffled how the original idea of the transfer was dreamed up and put in place.

I was able to tag along with two buddies on their archery javelina hunt even if all I could was ride around in the jeep and sit in the chair next to it and glass due to I'm still recovering from knee surgery. I have to brag though as think of the three groups of pigs we spotted that day I can...
A few buddies and I are heading to CO this year to chase deer with our bows. Well we hope once we draw some tags but we have built up some points and should be golden to draw some tags.
