So frickin' cool, Jarin!!! So. Frickin. Cool!

I hunt Coues in AZ and I have friends that hunt and guide for Coues in Mexico. Everything I'm told is that it's a whole other world down there. You can see more deer on a hillside in one morning than in a 4-day hunt in AZ or NM. Congrats on a great Coues buck! What outfitter did you go with...

I just realized I haven't been on here in a long time and I finally got my Texas Rio on my 3rd spring trip to TX. A good buddy and I took off to Texas chasing turkeys April 6-9. This journey started a little over a year ago. I was chatting with a guy that served with dad in Vietnam about his...

Its time for our annual 31-Day Gun Raffle. All proceeds stay in Arizona to be used by NWTF for habitat conservation, youth hunt camps, disabled hunters programs, scholarships, hunter education, etc. We had our tickets sent out late to us this year. The early bird deadline is November 10th...

I wish I had a 44 Mag to justify this! These are killer prices compared to what we're seeing down here in AZ right now!

There are several great broadheads for elk. I use 100gr Grim Reaper mechanicals and have several friends who love them on elk. G5 mechanicals are popular, too. Rage and, even Shwacker, are used frequently here in AZ. I've seen multiple busted ribs, including off-side ribs from shots beyond...

Been a long time since I've been on here, but its been good interacting with my home roots again. I've been cleaning out more gear that hasn't been used in a while and won't be used in the near future. Might as well offer it up to someone who can use it. The Wyoming Saw is the only thing used...

Forest Service, like BLM is managed as multi-use. I don't have a problem with ranching on Federal lands out here where it is sustainable. I work with both offices and ranchers who get it and those who don't and their only care is about preserving a way of life rather than conserving an...

That looks awesome, Skip! I'm looking forward to some smallmouth action (especially on my fly rod) next time I'm back in Iowa!!

I've been off this site for a long time, but this is a good one to weigh in on. Its a hot topic for sure. As an AZ resident who loves using trail cams to check/inventory areas, but not taking things that seriously about it, I'm on the bubble. The ban will go into effect in 2022 and is...

What outfit are you hunting with? You'll have a blast!

Again, getting caught up after a long hiatus here. Story of my son's first bird from this past April. We spent opening weekend in and out of toms. My daughter should have been done at 6am Friday morning, but her dad, a supposed turkey hunting veteran, made a rookie (ie, excited dad) mistake...

I realized I haven't been on here in a long time, especially when I saw everything has changed. Lots going on in our hunting fishing world during COVID-times. A month ago, I took my son on his third youth deer hunt. He harvested his second Coues buck and is showing no interest in mule deer...

My 12-year old son has been fortunate enough to get two javelina in the last two years on opening weekend. His first year, he used his 7mm-08 and that hunt was filmed by The Mountain Project. Last year, he used my AR. After two successful pig hunts using modern rifles and quality optics, he...

Back when I found out I got drawn for the 12BW late hunt, a buddy of mine, who was going to help me, got drawn for the same hunt. I didn't want to put either of us in a situation of having to decide who got to shoot first, so I reached out to a dear friend who used to guide in that area, before...

I told him we need to go hunt those tame, corn/bean fed deer sometime! ;) He'd definitely love it. And I'd love to get back to it. Its a mix with velvet this time of year for Coues. The younger bucks are a mix of both, while the older bucks are typically rubbed off. I say typically because...

This last weekend was my son's second youth tag in SE Arizona in two years. Last year was a 34A tag and he fell in love with chasing Coues whitetail. He opted for 35A this year because a good friend of ours who took us out last year knows 35A much better and Jacob really likes our friend...

Those have been very popular and it shouldn't be a problem. The stones vary, of course, but she has plenty of that style. I'll let her know and PM you the info. Thanks!!

Our 15 year old daughter is going on a 10-day rafting trip in the Grand Canyon this summer through Grand Canyon Youth. Its a great program that exposes kids to the outdoors in various aspects, including conservation of ecosystems and is a science immersion program. One of the requirements for...

For some crazy fun pike action, get yourself a Savage 3D duckling lure. HOLY CRAP!! Its so surreal watching a pike come roaring out from a weed bed to strike that thing!
