    AZ archery 6B

    There is nothing "easy" about hunting the northern part of the unit. The hunt can be very tough, especially the late hunt. People everywhere, and not just hunters. Big bulls are there, but hard to come by. Gets very cold. I've hunted in numerous times and know others who have hunted it and have...

    Another moving question.......

    Anybody from or around Ketchikan, Alaska? I know it's an island, but how is the hunting, if any? How hard (and expensive) is it to get to other hunting in the state? Considering a job up there and want to know if that part of it is worth it.

    Ram Pickup CTD 6.7 vs Hemi 6.4

    I have a '22 F250 with the 7.3 gas. It's a beast. Tow a 33' 5th wheel every month around the state. All roads leading away from home require going up a 6-7% grade and have never had an issue. Can pull at speed and have power left. Before I bought it I considered a diesel. This was the better...

    New F-350 motor options?

    I have a ‘22 with the 7.3, off road package and skid plates. Not sure why it wouldnt let you do it. Its a great truck, strong motor. But yes, it is thirsty. I didn’t buy it for mileage, and never understood why people think a big heavy truck and good mileage go together. Let the “my diesel...

    Unicorn Tacoma- toyota pros

    I have the exact same truck. Picked it up in '13 with 52k on it. Now has 136k on it. Great truck. Would not hesitate to take it anywhere. Sure, everything made more recent has more power, but I didn't buy it for that. It gets me where I need to go. I've never had the ball joint issue, however, I...

    Looking for a gun safe for my hunting rifle!

    Congrats. But be careful buying big box store safes. They are not what they seem. Can be broken into and stolen easier than people think. You get what you pay for with safes. I would go to a local safe or gun store. Champions are good.

    When do you eat your "big meal" of the day

    Breakfast/brunch after the morning hunt. Will usually have something light on the way out, whether it be some sort of granola bar, fruit, etc. Once back at camp we will do up a big breakfast; eggs, meat, potatoes, muffins, burritos, etc. Skip lunch or have a light snack before going out in the...

    Short Notice, Long Trip to AZ

    Been there plenty of times, and never a positive experience. The place is dirty, people are not friendly, too hot, and just has an unsettling feeling.

    Short Notice, Long Trip to AZ

    Tucson is a sh--hole. But, there are opportunities to get away and enjoy the outdoors. Lot's of good quail hunting down that way.

    Arizona OTC for Nonresident

    Extremely tough hunts. Unless you’re a local or have local knowledge, its a crap shoot. Though you may get lucky. You can get a tag at any license dealer that has them, but not online. The numbers of elk in each area are extremely low. Maps of the areas are on the G&F website. Since they are...

    Palmetto State not shipping mags I paid for?

    Always have to blame someone else. It's always their fault, and not yours. Sad that it's typical in this country these days. You knew it, you bought it, now you cry about it. Buy from the store that doesn't do that. I doubt PSA will lose any sleep over it, which maybe can't be said for you.
