Pictures and Stories of our hunts with Springers/Gas-Ram Rifles.

That is some very beautiful country that you are hunting in, I wouldn't last five minutes there, I'm a flatlander! 
Rough country takes a lot of stamina.
When I was younger and in better condition I did hunt quite a bit with springers. I do still have a .177 Beeman R1 but rarely do any hunting with it.

Thank you, Zeke. Arizona is lovely, too.
Nice setup you got there, what do you do with a .30 cal beast like that? Target, Hunt?

Thanks, I appreciate that.
I personally love rugged highlands, but we also have ultra-flat lands between mountain ranges like this:
Which is perfect for bikes or just running around.

Target and hunt. Mainly rabbits and rock squirrels but gonna start actively going for coyote. I've been shooting a Daystate Pulsar .177 a lot lately just because it's so nice to shoot but missed a couple chances to get a coyote because I didn't have the .30 cal Vulcan 3 with me so mainly take out the .30 now when I go just in case. Here's my area, similar to yours. Vid is 90 yard headshot on rock squirrel with the .30 and 53yd headshot on rabbit with the Pulsar HP 177.
Love shooting both but the Pulsar is fun, I've taken rabbits over 80 yds with it and just am amazed by it.
Also hunt quail and dove with both, obviously with the .30 I'm only taking headshots or else nothing of the meat is left

I'm wondering what kind of herbs and roots I could find there. I would call this land the rabbit heaven, also great for porkpines, tons of roots to devour.
How is the water situation? Any streams? or only wet patches of dirt and wet rocks that the wildlife licks the water off of.
Two nice headshots as well.
Thank you for taking the time to share some of your nature and experience.

This photo is for the beginning of spring(our new year), I think it lands somewhere in the month of March.
But right now in the summer, it's quite deadly.

I live in a small town of about 2,000 people, about an hour and a half east of Phoenix.. small mountain mining town but there is actually a river just south of town within walking distance. Thing with the river is the vegetation around it is so dense you really can't see anything so if you're going to hunt around the river you got to find a ridge and just glass and catch them moving towards the water. As far as roots and stuff I'm new to the desert I'm still learning.I'm wondering what kind of herbs and roots I could find there.

It surprised me, so you have a lot of water going around, that's good news for everybody in that area.
Check around the river at night, I think you'll find many games. Night takes less energy for the desert creatures to graze and walk around.
The interesting thing is, I'm pretty sure we have the same tree in the desert here, look:

Well, around the Gila river you're not gonna die of thirst but it's pretty dry elsewhere around here. I was actually surprised when I moved out here that there are some large lakes less than 2 hours away but if you were on foot trying to reach that lake, yeah you'd probably not make it lol. Here's my little town of Kearny with the Gila River just south of it.
