    Let's See Your Dirtbagmobiles!

    Here's a two-fer. '86 Toy with a '07 Kwackalackey in the back. I'd call it a three-fer, but you can't see the little Honda 50 buried under all of the other crap.

    Arizona - Worth the wait/cost?

    For another $15, you should think about a pronghorn point, too. It might come in handy down the line.

    Arizona - Worth the wait/cost?

    I'm not sure where you're getting your numbers. Non-resident bonus points are $15 per species, and your son would need a $5 non-resident youth license. Maybe there is a different charge for non-resident aliens? I've never seen that category in the regs, but maybe it's a thing. To me...

    Barnes copper bullets?

    This fall, my girlfriend shot a coyote with a 120gr. TTSX out of my 260 Remington. The bullet punched through the ribs, leaving a classic half-dollar sized exit hole, with some internal organs hanging out. While I don't think that the size of the exit hole is a very scientific way to judge...

    AZ Unit 8 January Archery Deer

    January is my favorite time to hunt deer in AZ. It's definitely not a waste of time. As mentioned, you will need the NR combo and an OTC archery deer tag. The tag is good for the calendar year and is not unit specific, so you can go anywhere with an open hunt. If you don't tag out in January...

    AZ Fall Draw

    Yes, you can get two points per year. And yes, you do have a chance. That being said, I don't think that there is much use in collecting points for bison. I don't think that you'll ever hit the bonus pass. I'd just put in for the tag and hope to get lucky.

    257 Roberts loads

    Congrats on the new rifle. You picked a great little cartridge. Good advice so far on the 4350s. The 4831s and RL-19 work well for that 100+ grain bullet range as well. My personal favorite powders for the heavier bullets are Hybrid 100V, and RL-17. Both have given me great accuracy, and as...

    Making the switch to Copper, Advice Needed

    That 160 Interlock is a round-nosed design, which will make it short for its' weight. A better comparison would be the 160 Protected Point from Woodleigh. It is a spire point, flat based bullet that goes 1.381". The 130 TSX from Barnes is also flat based, and goes 1.331". Not much difference...

    Making the switch to Copper, Advice Needed

    MinnesotaHunter, Curious where you got 1300 fps minimum for the LRX. For some reason I thought it was 1600 fps. Do you have a link? I can't find it on Barnes website.

    Making the switch to Copper, Advice Needed

    Do you know what the twist rate on your rifle is? That 127 LRX would be sweet, but Barnes recommends a 1:8 twist, and a lot of the older 6.5mms use 1:9, so it might not stabilize in your rifle. As far as the 120s go, I use the 120 TTSX in my 260 Rem, and am happy with it. I would have tried...

    26 Nosler

    You should wildcat that Howa. A 6.5-06 AI will get right up there with the 26 Nosler with 140s, but use 20+ grains less powder to do it. That's a lot less recoil, and probably a lot more barrel life as well.

    AZ Draw, Should I Do It?

    As far as buying groceries go, we could use Costco for an example. There, they don't force you to buy milk, but you have to buy a membership to even walk in the door. But people pay it because in the end membership is a good deal-- if you show up to use it. Really though, buying groceries at...

    AZ Draw, Should I Do It?

    Funny. I don't think I've ever heard of a hunting and fishing license referred to as a hostage fee. Sorry, but I'm not sorry that NRs can't just buy their points at $15 a pop.

    Arizona Goulds

    Goulds tags are crazy hard to get. Even for residents draw odds are in the low single digits. Things get way, way worse for NRs. There are only 70 or so Goulds tags, so best case, with the 10% NR cap, you have a chance at 7 of those. But, in reality you probably only have a chance at 2 of...

    Beautiful rifle. Looking forward to the range report.
