I have a full Tethrd set up and I am north of 1K. The tree saddle is quick and easy. It is great for areas that require a legit hike into the spot.. However, my simple, Summit climber is much more comfortable for a long sit. It’s right at about 20 lbs. It’s not terrible to hike with, and I...
Sorry I missed your intro. I have always had great luck finding elk two different ways.
First is looking at at map and trying to find places that are at least 1 mile from the nearest open road. Having lived in Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, and Colorado, I have found the universal truth that most...
Great pictures! I miss my pointing lab. He was a pheasant machine. Now I have glorified couch cushions (two chocolate labs). One did just go dove hunting and she did amazing!
I had the similar situation in WY. I called the game and fish and was told it was legal. I also called the game warden in the unit and talked with him. He also said I was legal and to enjoy the hunt.
Every informant I have ever worked with was searched before the deal. How many informant have you worked with..not the ones you watched on TV? The ones I worked with were absolutely not armed. Good story though. Sorry you got a ticket for trespassing and were stopped by Rooster Cogburn with...
Having worked in federal law enforcement for a number of years…I am just over three years from retirement. I have never had or heard of an informant who can lawfully carry a gun. Everyone I have cultivated, used or heard of was a felon who could provide useful information about criminal...
I have owned cellphone trail cameras. Satellite trail cameras must be really cool.
This is obviously written by a person who does not know firearms or the outdoors. Try not to trespass and I bet this type of stuff stops happening. I keep picturing Rooster Cogburn.
The .45 will give you better ballistics if the barrel is 1-20 or better. I have both and prefer my .45. However I have a sizing die and skip the Sabot. Good luck with whichever choice you go with.
AZ elk is really a great hunt in many units. I would look at late rifle. Some of the easier draw units have limited elk and access to small pockets of private property make a world of difference for success. There are very few real hidden hunts in AZ.
I have a little more than three years left. I can’t retire fast enough. I find my self wishing I could be hunting/fishing all year. I will have 31 years in LE and my wife and I are ready for the next adventure.
