Dealing with TSA after Alaska
Never use TSA approved locks on firearms cases. Per Alaska Airlines they are not required. I stood there/watched while they checked my gun and made sure everything went back in. Firearms checklist You may transport firearms as checked baggage only. You must be 18 years of age or over to...- cfree

Low/mid grade over under
Lots of Weatherby Orion's on Gunbroker for well under $1000. That's what I would get if my Weatherby Regency were to be retired. -

AZ auction tags going away
My guess is AZSFW was making another behind the scenes end run on a Utah style expo/auction event with increased tags and AZGFD needed to head it off as best they could.- cfree

Retire the switchback?
I was in the same boat as you several years ago. My Switchback LD just felt old and I was losing confidence with it. Tried new rest, sights, stabilizer, arrows, etc but couldn't get the "feel" back. Bought an Elite Impulse 34. Didn't like it. Tried a Hoyt Carbon. Didn't feel right after a... -

Pretty Fly for a Nilgai
Really cool story, thanks for sharing. Did a hunt on one of the nearby units a few years ago and it was an awesome experience. Its a part of Texas I never knew existed but fell in love with it. Nilgai are incredible animals and tasty too! Thanks again!- cfree

Not From Texas
Can get 2 points a year for each of those. The javelina guys must be some funny dudes. The 3 bison residents with 56 must be scared of the kaibab shit show, 27 years is a long time to wait. -

Arizona 3B North HAM Elk
Most of that area is OTC from March 1 to July 31. There are a ton of little ranchettes everywhere. White Mtn Estates is the crystal meth capital of eastern AZ, you can go from hunting to being the hunted very quick if you cross private. Not a prime area, but it's still elk hunting. August is... -

Is the Montefeltro played? What's the most core trap gun?
Growing up my good friend had a Franchi semi-auto. Can't remember the model but it was way too nice for a teenager to shoot. Mostly field, some trap/skeet, but a very nice shooting gun. The new Affinity Elite and Sporting might be something to check out... -

NM draw is open.
Very good points about NM draw odds and units over the years. However, NM has double the elk population of AZ. NM was really fun and much easier to draw 10+ years ago. Now its lottery odds.- cfree
