Got out for the opener on Friday. The morning was good with a few smaller bucks found. All day long I kept watching some does get up and reposition in the little draw next to me. I told my buddy that I was gonna sneak up to the edge and peak in the bottom to see if anything else was in there. I even joked and said "I am going to leave my gun here just to make sure there is a big buck in there." Snuck up to the edge and found the bedded does again then looked down to the right about 250 yds and found this guy up on his feet at 3pm. I snuck out, ran back and grabbed the gun. My buddy came up with me and spotted for the shot. One shot, buck down. We hunted the next few days and were able to fill his tag too. Another great trip with a great friend!

My 13 year old son get his first buck opening morning!

Ya Well we went down south finally and got him a coues deer ..... I haven't done a write up in a while but I decided to this time. Well with all of my son's obligations this year for school and sports we were having a hard time figuring out what days, if any we were going to be able to hunt. We planned out to hunt Saturday and Sunday only at first, he is a senior this year but had college classes he couldn't miss on Friday. He also had a cross country event Friday evening that he could not miss, he is the team captain. Right before we left, he got permission from his college teacher that he could actually miss a couple days and he would let Curtis make it up. Day 1 We got there Saturday morning and went straight to hunting, we didn't even set up camp yet.... we found plenty of doe in the area we wanted to start focusing on. Same in the evening. Day 2 We moved to our second area the next day and we saw a bunch more doe until last light. We saw two deer top over the ridge towards us. It was so dark I barely put horns on one of them. Day 3 So ... the next morning rolled around and nothing but does in the morning again. Mid-day my boy said dad I need to get a workout in since I am missing two practices( he runs at the state meet this Saturday) ..so we go back to camp and he goes for a 5 mile run up and down the road by camp ( I kept thinking it would be funny if border patrol was watching him run back and forth and to be able to hear them talk about him). Yes he is crazy and dedicated to his sports and everything he does. We get back out that evening and were able to relocate the same two deer. They were both bucks almost identical in size, No difference that I could tell... Curtis looks him over and says he likes the one on the left. I get him ranged while he gets prone on my pack and gets set up and comfortable. He is able to get on him in the scope and said he is ready. He sent a shoot once the buck stopped to graze. Then dropped the buck right there. We still had a little bit of light to get to him, which was of course at the very top of the mountain. We got to him before dark, but had to do all of the work in the dark and hike out and down in the dark. My son said the buck met his expectations for the time restraints we had on this trip. We are pleased and glad we were able to get him his first coues deer. Sorry for brags, but I'm so proud of the young man he is becoming and the memories we have able to make together. Thanks to everyone over the years and the support from everyone along the way.

If they sell out that fast they need to raise the price!

Just measured my sons buck. 88 3/8 gross 85 even net. not bad.

Healy arms I've shipped a few guns to different states and have a few suppressors waiting for atf get outa jail cards .

Make it a lottery for nonresidents. Get the tag money and the application fee. It seems easily justifiable at this point. Same statewide tag.

Diamondbacks ran out of magic, but sweeping the Dodgers was almost as good as winning the World Series

After his first deer hunt last year (unsuccessful) I put my grandson in for the youth hunt. He drew a cow tag in 4A. We scouted a couple of times and he was excited to see them up close. We got there on Wed before the hunt and drove some roads and saw elk. Thursday am I woke him up and there were elk 75 yds. from camp- he was shocked. That evening drove around and saw more elk. Friday- opening morning we left camp and were into elk but too far away for a shot. We tried following them but couldn't catch up with their quick walk. That evening hunt we didn't see anything. Saturday - AM hunt was uneventful but we did help another group with some tracking but trail was lost. PM hunt driving to where we were going to sit a herd ran across the road about 200 yds ahead of us and dropped into a steep draw area. I told him that's where we were going to sit for the evening as I figured they would come back up there to graze and hit water. After sitting there we heard some cow yelps and moved 250 yds towards the sound. after a few minutes I spotted a cow starting thru a small clearing. It went thru too quickly. The next one by was a spike. Another cow stepped into the clearing and stopped - he was steady and drawn as I waited for the shot- didn't happen. I think we had a slight case of buck fever- that was all we saw of that small group. A few minutes later we heard bugling and cows where we were initially and headed back over there. The herd was moving back across the road where they had first crossed and dropped into another draw. I told him we probably wouldn't catch up but he was insistent to follow. We ended up a ways from the road and they had stopped in another meadow area. We slow footed towards them and ended up about 100 yds from the herd. We waited for a cow to enter a clearing and the rest is history - except for the quartering and pack out. Congrats Mason Burns

My wife and I got tags together this year for the same hunt for the first time. We were real excited for this hunt, more than usual. Opening day I spotted her buck 2100 yards out and figured he was a mid 80’s buck. We kept an eye on him every 5 minutes to see where he beds down. While keeping tabs on him we saw 10 other bucks but nothing worth chasing after. Once her buck bedded down under a tree, we marked the spot and started the stalk. We snuck into 330 yards and the rest is history. The buck had a bigger body than we thought and scored right at 90. We had a long pack-out back to the ranger and feeling the aches and soreness today. Over the next few days we looked over 30 bucks or so. I was looking for a 4+ year old buck (secretly trying to beat my wifes buck!) I didn’t have any luck. Monday morning came and I spotted a big 2x2 buck that we have seen maybe 8 times and never gave chase to him. He bedded down during grey light and the wife and I took off. We snuck into 380 yards and waited about an hour for him to stand up and the hunt was done. My buddy Christian showed up to help out with the morning Monday hunt, he carried out some weight which was nice! Thanks amigo! Overall deer movement was phenomenal even with the full moon. The freezer is full with our bucks and my sons junior buck. We’ll definitely put in together again next year.

+ 1 for Healy Arms. I've always had good experiences there whether buying from their stock or using them for FFL purposes for online purchases. (Plus, they are a CWT.com sponsor) https://www.healyarms.com/

Go on Gunbroker. There is an area where you can put in your zip code and a list of dealers will be shown and what they charge.

There are more Californians on the Buenos Aires in January than there are in California.

Pioneer Pawn in Mesa has been solid. Lowest fee around that I've seen.

I’ve always liked you! This is the first time that you’ve had correct grammar for the most part. Also your idea is really good! Keep on keeping on bud.

"Clays and Quotes ", protecting your company on and of the range. Yeti is great, maybe a couple shot Guns, if more , not much then a yeti. Some door prizes, and contest in the shout. Could probably fill it up right here. Let us know what you come up with.

a friend of mine is an ffl dealer but he is in europe for another week other wise you can look up on gunbroker.com and there is a section with the ffl guys, just type zip code. hope it helps if you wait a week pm me and i send you my body phone#

Unfortunately don’t know when I’ll be in Phx, my sons club soccer has stopped due to HS soccer. Just received about 7-8 extra chains for these units. Just want to clarify, cost is $120 total for both, not $120 each

Congrats

Two Old Pacifics missing parts, a Lee Single, and a Lee Speed loader. I wonder if the sizer is a Mec? RCBS powder measure. Most looks like a project. If one of the Pacifics is a 20 gauge, I may be interested in it for parts.

Call them. I completed money 30 years ago and had to have them look mine up and get a new card.

7 no hitters. Last one at age 44.

Hard to say the most strikeouts of all time is over rated.. walks? Yep, lots of them too. But his longevity and K's set him apart from every other pitcher, ever.

That’s an interesting random purchase!
