My daughter stopped hunting 10 or so years ago. She couldn't get a tag and stopped trying. Fast forward to last year. I told her I was going to start putting her in so her son could pull a decent tag when he turns 10. Last year with no points she got late unit 1. This year she got antelope. I was stoked antelope are my favorite. I live in 3c and have seen maybe 4 antelope ever. See other post. I started Scouting immediately. I checked all of the g&f areas and saw only a couple of mid bucks. Kept checking and found a couple of spots. Last weekend the OHVs wrecked one of my spots. I wish they would stay on the trails. I decided to concentrate Scouting on one spot. G&f was doing a helicopter survey and those bucks disappeared as well. Sitting and thinking "you know antelope as good as they know themselves, where would they go" last night i saw a couple off in a basin to the far east and decided to take a closer look. About 200 yards from where I parked i ran into the buck I named the pimp. My first thought was that tricky m'fer. They spooked a little and I got out of there early. This morning rolls around and my brother took the morning off to high point for us. We go into the mountains looking for the giant. My brother sees a herd half a mile or so from our starting point in the wrong direction. After checking the small steep area we were in. I get a call saying there are 6 bucks in the herd he is watching and one is huge. We go to his vantage point and take a quick look. I recognize the pimp immediately. We make a quick plan and head that way. They were all bedded for a bit. As we approached the rut kicked in and bucks chasing does everywhere. The pimp chases a smaller buck over the Ridgeline. We move closer. My only pic of the pimp with the chaos the pimp was anywhere from 300 yards to over 500 and out of sight. She has them at 442 in the tripod and ready. I dial the scope and she shoots. Each round hitting just over his back. I guess the angle was steeper than I thought. My brother has to leave to work (around 900) we go to where i think they went. Not expecting much. I see a bunch of tracks change direction slightly and catch what I thought was the pimp at 135 yards. I left the scoope at 450. 20250905_085200.mp4 I make the adjustment back to default and this happens. Doesn't look it but the shot was close to perfect VID_20250905_192846.mp4 One more shot and then it gets western. 20250905_085407.mp4 Thinking hes down for good I give her a hug. She starts going over there and the buck gets up and struggles up the hill. We bump him two more times before the top of the hill with no shot opportunities. I text my brother and a nephew to help track. My daughter is mad and the only person she can take it on is me. I say he went this way and she said he went that way. We split up. I catch up to him 150 yards from where we part ways. I call her and text. No answer. She's really mad. A few moments later she calls me. We catch up to him walking away. I tell her just put it between his buttcheeks and end this. Boom and he drops. After a few seconds gets back up and starts crawling on front two legs up the next hill. F bombs are flying out of her mouth. The last one was F that tripod crap. Grabs her rifle and runs to position. Off handed she puts the final round in his neck. We didn't get the giant one but this one isn't too bad.

Story to follow

Don’t post much anymore but wanted to share. Was able to fill my OTC tag this morning on this 4 point muley.

I recently purchased 500 cases of Popcorn . 400 cases,were for a vendor out of Tucson. Well He was a no show. So now I have 400 cases at 24 bags per case of popcorn. I have Candy Corn which is a mix of flavors. Similar to a popcorn ball. Carmel corn, Salted corn,Buttered corn, Cheddar corn and Kettle corn and also 14 cases of Cotton candy. Which is strawberry and blueberry mix. The bags are marked at 1.89 per bag . Or 3.00 for two bags. . They are all fresh and sealed. With a shelf life until, May of 2027. I am selling them at .60 cents per bag . Or 15.00 per case. I will post pictures of the bags tomorrow. I will deliver to the Phoenix metro area for free For purchases of 10 case or more. This Popcorn has 17 percent of flovoring per bag. Where other varieties only have 6-8 percent. Making it very flavorful. If interested Pm Me or call Billy at 480-697 79 one eight. Amanda and Anyone else who may be affiliated with CWT. I will Donate 20 cases to CWT. To do whatever You choose to do with them. And after the sell of all 400 cases I will Donate 250.00 dollars to CWT. To go to the kids gun drawing. I also have buttered .that's not pictured. I can mix cases to your desired flavor mix.

Idiots that see that you are hunting/glassing an area and they still come and hike and sit a few yards from you to hunt that same area you are hunting.

Sounds like you have a lot of popcorn to eat

I may have 243 brass to trade, will check when im home

Wheww. . I can sleep better tonight knowing those paralyzed CHAMP hunters can't put a magnifying scope on their crossbow. At least they can use a bipod though since they are missing an arm too.

Everyone

Pa Dutch potatoe soup. Childhood fave. Taters, eggs, parsley onion, crean milk based broth but mommas version has a bunch of bacon and is cheese topped. Also recommend.

Just happened to us. 2 guys walked right up with tripod and binos and set up and then asked if we had seen anything.

I sold my semi 12g last season and bought a cz 20 sxs. I dont regret that decision. I wish I had the 20g sxs my dad started me on.

My aunt is trying to sell some of my uncles guns. He recently passed. There's a few shotguns. Ill end you a pm

H&R nef single shot 20g.

Learned to hunt with a little Stoeger 20ga Coach gun. Best thing that ever happened to me for wing shooting. 20” side by side really makes you learn shot placement haha. Still have mine and plan to pass it down to my young boys fairly inexpensive if you can find one

A monthly membership is $7. Cancel anytime. It is slightly annoying to cancel, but not a huge deal. I did this a few times when they started a fee based plan. I miss the good old days of free armslist, but the fee does help keep the rift raft out. You know, like cheap CWT members. 🤣 Eddie

I heard one in 8 last Monday morning

That sounds dreamy! I need a place like yours

Flat brimmed hat over your ears. Stupidest -fing thing ever.

Lifted Chevy's with horn porn stickers are pulling over all over the valley salivating to give you their recommendation... stand by!

I saw this on social media and didn’t see it posted here. Thought I would share. Stud ram. Pretty cool story that the tag ended up being donated to a veteran. 👏🏻

Ban it all dude. Catch me at the next sierra club meeting

I’m not taking the time to dice up a tomatoe
