    Hunting Etiquette Question - Should I hunt with this guy again? (long)

    I posted earlier that I was going on my first elk hunt. The trip had great potential but in the end, was a total waste of time, money, and effort. A friend and I put in for an elk hunt together. We went quail and dove hunting several time last year and talk regularly in the gym. I thought he...

    Disappointed with Danish 30-06 ammo

    Dissapointed with Danish 30-06 ammo I bought a case of the surplus Danish 30-06 ammo, I thought it was a good buy for some practice ammo for my Savage bolt action rifle. Boy, was I wrong. I can't get that stuff to extract easily. It chambers fine, shoots fine, but when I go to pull the bolt...

    I just bought my first pistol

    I just bought my first pistol. It's a Star Modelo B 'Super'. I mainly a hunter so all my firearms up till now have been bolt rifles and shotguns. I'm going to be doing some hunting near the Mexican border and with all the stories of drug runners, I thought it might be wise to carry a pistol...

    Cheep 30-06 ammo

    With the CMP out of M2 Ball, I'm looking for a different source of inexpensive '06 ammo. I've found two different types and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with either. One is the newly released Danish ammo in the Garand clips. Has anyone tried the stuff? If so, how did you like it...

    Woohoo!!! AZ draw results are in!

    I just got a call from my hunting buddy. He got our draw results from AZ Game & Fish today. We were drawn for 'Any Elk' in Twin Arrows and for Whitetail in 36B. They only gave out 15 of those 'Any Elk' tags and we got two of them! Talk about a great draw this year. Come Spetember, it will just...

    General semiauto question

    I'm looking at picking up my first pistol. I've been looking around and a lot of different pistols have a lot of different features and I was hoping that someone could explain to me why these features are desirable. I'm looking through the CZ catalog and I see that they have about a million...

    WWII German Pistol Question

    A friend of mine just inhereted a German P-35(p) from her grandfather and I was wondering how much it was worth. She didn't have much info, just that it was a P-35 and all the serial numbers matched. I think her grandfather took it as a war trophy. I can ask her for more info tomorrow Her...

    CZs in AZ

    I'm interested in getting a CZ-75 but I'd like to rent one and try it out before I buy one. None of the ranges in Tucson have one to rent, does anyone know of a range in Phoenix that rents them? Any where else in AZ would be good too. Thanks,

    Opinions on my next hunting gun purchase

    I posted a while ago that I would like a smaller rifle for Javelina hunting. I was discussing it with a hunting buddy of mine, who is of Czech decent, and he convinced me that my next firearm purchase should be a CZ for their excelent quality and good prices. The CZ-527 Lux looks very nice...

    looking for some compact hunting rifle suggestions

    I was out hunting javelina yesterday (unsuccessfully). I was carrying my 30-06, which I know is too much gun, but it's all I got, and my buddy had his SKS. The whole time I was out there I was thinking that I'd really rather have a lighter, more easily carried rifle. It was a several mile hike...

    Javelina question

    I'm going Javelina hunting next month and I'm wondering what kind of ammo I should use. I have a 30-06 and I was wondering if someone could recomend a factory load that would be good for them. Thanks,

    Anything wrong with Remington Core-Lokt bullets?

    I'm going out on my first deer hunt this weekend and I picked up a box of 150 grain Remington Core-Lokt Pointed Soft Point Bullets. Anything wrong with that? I'm hunting in Arizona for Coues Deer. I've read a lot on here about other fancy bullet types and I was wondering what you gained with...

    Sandhill Crane Hunting

    A buddy of mine and I were drawn for sandhill crane out here in AZ. Neither of us have ever taken a crane before and I was wondering if anyone knows what to do with one. Is the meat any good or should I just have it stuffed? Thanks,

    quail

    I was watching a cooking show reciently where they were cooking quail that still had the skin on, similar to a whole chicken that you find at the grocery store. Does anyone know how to clean them like that? I've always just ripped the skin off and kept the leg and breast meat. Thanks,
