I had a long day yesterday, woke up at the parking lot at 2am at 5500’ to start hiking and was expecting to stay up on the mountain most of the week but I never ended up setting up camp. I picked up this guy at first light and bedded him down a long ways away. It took about 6 hours to hike up and around one of the highest peaks in the state at just under 11,000’ and get around into position above him in a series of cliffs. I probably saw 50 or more mountain goats by the end of the day. Within 5 minutes of finally settling in for a wait above him, the wind switched to going down hill, I saw his head jerk, so I drew back, he jumped up and I let it go. He ended up eventually taking the “fast way” down the cliff he was perched on all day. That was followed by a nightmarish hike to get out that had me doubting my sanity, abilities, choice of hobby pursuits, and praying hard. Some of the pics won’t upload but here are some, good luck to everyone this weekend that’s going out!

Those are contributing factors but forest management across the west is the true culprit.

Oh the rez is not done.... anyway you slice it he KNEW he was on the res and committing a crime- sure he may of had remorse and didn't try to cover up his actions- that does help, but Jed is a poacher and law breaker - probably wasn't the first time, but what do I know.

I believe it... The classifieds here should be called Jews whitetail....

What’s funny about the Owens angle on this is how much poaching Blake did just to try and prove he was as good as these A3 guys he hates. All the time “screwing himself” with lies about how it was ok because they did it. Everyone involved with these cases is a self absorbed prick. They literally stole from everyone else; me, you, every resident of AZ and the tribes, just to win a stupid JR high dick measuring contest. Wish they all went to jail, including the enablers who pay their fines instead of holding them accountable.

Normally I've heard bulls and cows well before now. Went outing last weekend and nothing was making a sound. Super dry and dead fall everywhere from the wallow fire. I didn't even recognize some of my spots.

Dude that looks awesome

Ya, temp records being crushed daily, tree huggers burning up their environmentally friendly cars, lightning and a lack of rain have had nothing at all to do with it.

Blame your federal government. Haven’t done proper fire management for years. Go check out the wallow fire in the white mountains. Just waiting to burn again with all the fuel present.

Go get a rock chucker. That last thing you need is a progressive. Do it slowly and learn. It is hard to beat a RC and they aren't that expensive.

Selling this for a buddy. Has only had a box of shells through it. Asking $750 $700 $630 (OBO no trades). Located in East Mesa or can get it to Tucson pretty easy too.

10 GAUGE STILL AVAILABLE . 12 gauge sold pending funds. I am selling two of my vintage side lever hammer guns. I am selling these as wall hangers but they are way better than that. I have shot both of these guns with special order low pressure shells. Both have great bores and have been well cared for for over a 100 years. The first is a 12 gauge 2 3/4” chambers with 30 inch Twist steel barrels marked LONDON FINE TWIST on the top rib and manufactured by W. Richards. This is a side lever pistol grip with inlaid shield, nice engraving on the frame, hammers, lever, butt plate, grip cap, and trigger guard. The other is a 10 gauge with 2 7/8” chambers Twist steel barrels great bores, gun was manufactured by W W FORSYTH LONDON. Nice engraving on hammers, frame, side lever, trigger guard burr plate. Also has inlaid shield in butt stock, pheasant and dog head engraved on frame, ( not sure what kind of dog based on the head LOL). I have posted a few pictures but will be happy send additional pictures if you text me your email address. I don’t you will find anything as nice for the price. Note: The First nine pictures are of the 12 gauge the rest are of the 10. price $475 each or $900 for both I will respond in the order the text or message some sin.

I dont know enough to voice an opinion on that. What do you think is being done wrong? Asking not arguing. Seemed like every time I was on the bab there were controlled burns being done all around Jacob lake. didn't seem to slow the magnum down but I dont know.

You forgot the invasive beetle killing the ponderosa pine trees.

I would say yes, they'll still be in velvet during youth hunts in early October ..

I've got the Tikka T3X in a superlite. It has the fluted stainless barrel. It shoots 1/2 MOA (with reloads) all day long out to 500+ yards. Tikka could be argued to be the best bang for you buck.....pun intended.

Black labs matter

Agree if you’re gonna euro it the head can wait. Heck bury it and come back in a couple months and it will be euro’d already. Just kidding on the part...sort of.

Yes!! Anytime you have a pic of a buddy gutting your animal, it's a great pic!!! 😂 Awesome to see the little guys in there!! S.

Todd makes excellent rifles. It would be hard not to fulfill your tag legally. Even an Owens couldn't find an excuse to poach with this gun. Makes a regular hunt as easy as poaching?😁

The irony here is hard to overlook. For the record, I wish poaching was punished with jail time, for everyone.

Glassed up a coues buck once. My mind almost exploded

I’m stealing this
