    NEWB Rifle Hunter Help

    Thanks! Most of the time I was going from standing w/ the binos to a sitting position behind the rifle mounted on a tripod w/ a triclawps. This means there's really no bringing the rifle up, it's moving it over basically. I think the landmark piece can definitely help in situations where...

    NEWB Rifle Hunter Help

    I have an Accustock and I've adjusted the comb height for what I need. I've also verified I'm right-eye dominant. I have been trying to do this with only one eye open, so I'll try with both open to see if it helps.

    How to Find a Real Person in AZGFD

    I didn't realize the regional offices could help. I called one and actually talked to somebody who said they e-mailed the person responsible and told me if they don't fix it, call back Thursday and she would. Thanks all!!

    NEWB Rifle Hunter Help

    Last October was the first time I harvested an animal with rifle and I had a hard time transitioning from being behind binos and then finding the animal in my scope behind the rifle. Does anyone have any pointers? I zoomed my scope (VX5-HD) all the way out to try to find them, but I guess I...

    How to Find a Real Person in AZGFD

    Anyone know how to get in touch with a real person @ AZGFD? My bonus points are wrong. I e-mailed them 2 June and they responded saying they fixed it, but it would take a couple days. I gave it 4 weeks and they're still not fixed. I e-mailed them again 10 July and still no response. I tried...

    That’s just crazy. I’m sure if it was a crazy AOC or PETA type person, FB would be all over it...

    Axis Deer - Hawaii

    Following up on this thread to see if there’s anyone who knows of an area with trespass fees on Maui or a decent guide for a 1-day hunt (seems to be all one needs based on what I’m seeing). Seems the state wants to be able to better handle the 100k axis on the island and I’d love to help out! ;)

    Open invitation to hunt Maui, Hawaii

    Was going through some posts and found this one. We’re actually hanging out in our room in the Kaanapali Beach Hotel getting ready for dinner. Is this invitation still open?? We’re here until the 16th.

    Episode 156: Hunters as Political Advocates

    Great podcast! Is it possible to have an offshoot of a 503.c into a 504.c (not sure if that nomenclature is correct) for lobbying purposes? I know you said places like RMEF unable to go and lobby on hunters behalf. However, could there be something like RMEF-L (for lobbying) that's not a...

    6.5-300 RMEF Weatherby - Sell or Keep It?

    I was thinking .270 or 6.5 Creedmoor. This way, I could use it for smaller game myself as well as my daughter using it. I know RMEF sells these for $799 to Life members. Make me an offer.

    Ideas for a antelope, deer and elk rifle for wife and daughter.

    Thanks for your insight! She's 12 and is right on the edge of youth/adult sizes for rifles. As I want something she can use for a longer period of time, I'm going with an adult rifle. As for the Weatherby, it doesn't have the adjustable cheek height like the Savage and they also don't have a...

    Ideas for a antelope, deer and elk rifle for wife and daughter.

    Following this thread as I’m also looking for a rifle for my daughter. What has the least kick, 7mm-08, 6.5PRC or 6.5 Creedmoor? Unlike my son, she’s a petite thing, and I need something that doesn’t make her flinch/cry. I’m considering a Savage w/ AccuStock so I can adjust the length of pull...

    6.5-300 RMEF Weatherby - Sell or Keep It?

    Well thought out response, thank you!! I don’t really need a “hot rod.” My .300WM will do the job just fine out to 600+ yards. I just need to remember to turn my scope turret back to its zero after I don’t take a shot so I don’t miss an elk again (long story)!

    I didn’t know they had once fired brass, thank you for the info as I’ll definitely check it out if I decide to keep the gun.
