Steve,
I googled Mearns Quail and read some older postings about hunts around Patagonia, AZ. I drove forest roads and paid attention to parked trucks with dog kennels. I later went to those locations and only bumped a single covey at each. I think the quail are pressured by guides and out of...
As a resident, I do not have a problem with increasing the fees for my hunting licenses and or tags.
What I don't think is fair, is the archery hunters. If they do not harvest during archery season, they hunt again during general season with a rifle. End that - make them chose their weapon...
I see turkeys on private land in MT. The landowners say they don't like them, yet they don't allow non family members to hunt turkeys on their land.
If you get more hunting locations then you can hunt, send me a PM.
After wanting to hunt these quail the last couple of years, I went this year and found a few. Found them without a dog. Once I located their habitat, finding them was not too difficult. The road trip there and back was excellent, no snow on the roads either way.
I have hunted 700 for many years. I saw a nice average buck the first day. Did not see antelope many places where we normally see them. The bands we saw were small compared to years past, when we would see 12+ in a band. We were seeing bands of 6-9 does without bucks. On the fourth day I decided...
I sold 5 guns on GB. I gave them my bank account so they could deposit 0.02 cents into it to see if I was legit. They removed the 0.02 cents later to verify I was legit.
They asked for my CC info, which is where they took their fees out of the guns sold. One person was a non-paying bidder, and...
I found my deer mount at a 2nd hand store that my X sold at her yard sale. The owner asked if I could prove it was mine. I brought photos of me holding it in the field along with photos of the plaques I had in the garage that matched the buck's plaque perfectly. He said I could have it back for...
Thanks for letting us see that rare and awesome condition rifle. Amazing that it is in excellent condition after so many years.
I have a Winchester Model 71, which I believe the .348 Win case was designed from the 50-100.
In the 1980's and 1990's there were many more antelope on the eastern plains of MT. I shot quite a few under 100yards then. Since the winter of 2008, the numbers have been getting less every year and their range is getting smaller. Now I see more hunters and less antelope in the areas I hunt. I...
