Don't make fun of people's grammar. Now watch me put a stock on this buck. Kidding aside, I use talk to text all the time and I swear my phone is a woman because it hears something way different then I actually said all the time.

My boy did great in the draw this year drawing elk, deer, javelina, crane. He was on fall break, and I had the time off so we loaded up and headed to camp on Wednesday. My buddies parents were there so we hung out, enjoyed the weather and waited for the rest of the crew. Everyone got there and we waited..... for the rain. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. We stayed in my buddies dad's tent and got absolutely soaked. I was legit worried about my son. We ran the wood stove all day and night and eventually got stuff decently dry. With some borrowed bags, we survived. Threw a tarp over the tent and all was good. The mud was absolutely insane. We got atleast 4 inches and the roads were insane. We didnt hunt much the first couple days, but did help a friend's son pack one out. Sunday morning heading out, the voltage regulator got caked in mud in my rzr and absolutely fried. No luck Sunday morning but had to tow it back to camp. Sunday evening we walked from camp (truck batteries are dead too). Walked out from camp, the wind was bad but was hoping we could see something on either side get the wind right and circle. We got to as far was we were going to go then circled with the wind in our faces to slowly hunt back to camp. Glassing as we went, I immediately found a cow. As I was carrying the rifle, I extended the bipod legs and jacked one in. Levi asked me "dad what are you doing?" "There are elk up here buddy, and atleast one is a cow!" We got behind cover and snuck up about 100 yards. Peaked around a bush and saw the bull, a really nice 6x6 let out a bugle. Put eyes on his cows and got back behind cover and closed another 40-50 yards. We peek out and there is a lone cow, broadside shining in the sun. I range her, 281 yards. Turn the dial on the scope and tell Levi to get on her. Hes on her. Im ready. "Let her have it buddy, squeeze that trigger." He lets one rip. THUMP. "Good shot buddy, you hit her. Reload hit her again." My boy racks another round like a seasoned vet and lets it rip. "You rushed that shot, reload hit her again." THUMP. Great shot buddy! I put two more in his gun. She steps out. "She's still standing, hit her again!" THUMP. She lays down right there. I can hear her labored breaths. "Reload buddy, stay on her but dont shoot unless she gets up!" Needless to say she doesn't. She made it about 10 yards. Three shots in the boiler room. The supressor absolutely made the difference as they had no idea where we were or what was going on. Money well spent. I can not put in to words how proud I am of this kid. Hes persevered hunts with no luck. Lots of rain. Being cold. Not seeing much (these were the first elk we had seen). And then, during crunch time he handled his rifle like an experienced hunter. Not to mention trying to control blood sugar through all this. Writing this up and reflecting brings tears to my eyes. Rifle info: Bergara B14 in 7/08 shooting 120 TTSX, all 3 rounds blew through.

my FFT Mesa 6.5 PRC 3 shot group to confirm zero. Between me and my buddy we have 3 CA rifles. All 3 are sub MOA shooters. I took a coues at 550 yds in 2023 with it. But I might get rid of it now seeing that social media post from a random gun dealer.

His dad is a bad dude and an AZ sheep slam holder!

“For sell”

Speaking of grammar, when people say seen instead of saw.

Hoo R u two tel others how to spel? Sum sort uf poolice de’part’mnt?

True. I have two very close friends I have known for over 30 years who chose to not have kids. They don't know what they are missing.

I’m listing for sale a like new Ruger made marlin sbl in 45-70. Has 30 rounds through it, and worked flawlessly. It also has a muzzle brake. Original box and paperwork included. Asking $1175 located in Tucson.

To funny, my 6.5 Creed Mesa shoots lights out. I bought it used from bass pro.

These things rock! I absolutely love mine. Plus Dustin is good to deal with!

Comes with one modified choke tube and choke wrench. 26 inch barrel. Chandler/Sun Lakes.

Stock instead of Stalk.

Writing "alot" as one word when it is two words. 😁 Eddie

Break and brake.

No one seems to know how to type "no one". People type "noone" all the time on the Internet. I saw a new one today "knowone". Smh

Congratulations to both of you. Few things in life are better than hunting with your son. Well done.

$3500 I think for Cow or Yearling. Doable.

Made from elk antler burrs shipped $90 One has a silver slide the other a bronze slide.

Plenty of flooding all around town even a couple of rescues but luckily no one hurt or no major damage. The gauge at the Peridot bridge below bashas peaked at 16,000 cfs. DAN

Well guys it’s over. Had one chance when I missed. Worst rut I ever been one. 1 bugle in last 6 days. Was all glass and spot and stalk. Thx for following. But just didn’t happen.

I have alot of pet peeves but i did see a post here somewhere. When someone has to remark on every single classified post basically. Gets old

You’re behind a semi on a mountain road? Get over it… too many head ons on the 260 due to hot heads passing in unsafe manners.

My ca shoots long range extremely well. And I’ve helped set up and reload for several other with the same results.
