    Petition to ban hound hunting - AZ Game and Fish Commission

    Heard this was coming and here it is. Not sure if they (Mountain Lion Foundation, Sierra Club, etc.) or other groups have submitted similar petitions in previous years. Petition Aims to Ban Dog Pack Hunting in Arizona

    CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

    Denver Post editorial board came out against Prop 127. Not sure it matters to most voters but it may sway some. https://www.denverpost.com/2024/10/29/proposition-127-mountain-lion-hunting-lynx-bobcats/

    Current CPW commissioners promoting proposition 127 with lies.

    Not lost yet but it’s getting close. The Commissioners who came out to publicly support the ban must know they are taking a serious risk but they’ll certainly be protected by the Governor. Seems like this could be a desperate, last ditch move to stop our momentum? Probably wishful thinking on...

    Current CPW commissioners promoting proposition 127 with lies.

    Thank you, sir. I’m an AZ resident, any chance out of state letters, emails, etc. are warranted? Not sure how that would be received by Commissioners. If not I’ll stick with monetary support and outreach to friends in CO.

    CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

    Not so fast I guess. Sounds like the editorial board has issued an apology to the local Durango groups supporting 127. Don’t be surprised if they recant their stated position and now support 127.

    Do you feel the edge?

    Ha! Keep throwing the edge their way. I live in unnamed town in Northern AZ that gets absolutely inundated with these yahoos. I'd say 90+% of them are from Phoenix and they think they own the place. Used to be only a month or two out of the year. Now it starts the second the FS roads open...

    Colorado Hunters Must Vote to Prevent "Ballot Box Biology"

    I'm an Arizonan but have a few contacts still in Colorado and have been very engaged with them on this issue. They have told me they are slowly seeing the anti-hunting and anti-predator management messaging loosing some steam. Not sure if it's the publicized wolf reintroduction issues, CRWM...

    Day hunt vs backpack hunt

    I'm normally prefer day hunts or overnights with a camp on my back. Water availability is an issue in most of the country I hunt. Hauling in substantial water gets heavy really quick.

    Coues deer optics

    I still primarily use 10x50 Leica Ultravids on a tripod for 90% of my bino spotting for coues. I always liked the field of view over the higher power binos. If you're packing in, one of the new compact spotters would be great but not needed in my opinion. Have fun chasing those coues...it's...

    Tripod head recommendations

    I’m partial to the Jim White head. Still have 2 that I bought from Jim around 2007. Not sure they are made anymore after Jim’s passing. Might find a used one with some extra plates come through the classifieds.

    7 SAUM bullet recommendations

    Current load is Norma brass, Fed 210M and 59.5gr H4831SC although I'm shooting a 24" barrel. Original load was the same charge weight but with CCI250s. I found I had more consistent groups with the 210Ms with no significant change in velocity.

    7 SAUM bullet recommendations

    Have not found another 7SAUM combo that kills or shoots as well as for me than the 175 Elite Hunter and H4831SC. I don’t push them particularly hard (2858fps) out of my gun.

    CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

    Been watching this pretty close and have donated a few hundred dollars from Arizona to CRWM. Was up in Golden for my daughter's college visit to Mines the week of July 4th and ran across a few signature gatherers. I was shocked at the level of vitriol and flat out lies that they were spewing...

    FNG from the great state of Arizona

    Hello, all! Been bouncing around the Southwest for 30 years chasing elk and coues deer. This site has some great info from like minded folks so I figured I'd participate when I can. Also interested in getting more involved in the greater hunting community and staying informed as we see...
