I have a nice older model 70 that sits in the safe and needs a new home. S/N indicates a 1952 date of manufacture Very good shape, intact rifle. Bluing is good. Stock still has steel buttplate. It does look like sling swivels were added somewhere along the line. I only took this rifle to the range once and it shot moderate165 gr handloads right at an inch at 100 for me. $850 in Catalina, North of Tucson.

Made a gumbo today. Shrimp, chicken and andouille sausage with red, green and yellow bell peppers, white onion, shallots, celery, garlic, cajon seasoning, cayenne pepper, old bay, diced tomatoes, dry basil, chicken stock and rice!

I guess at this point a forum sponsor is out of the question ?

What kind of a self-respecting Hunter hires any guide???

Muletape on the tree. Someone left it in the tree and the elks horns got snagged.

God that’s hard to watch. I’m not sure if their guide didn’t tell them or if they chose not to listen, but they weren’t even in the ballpark of being hid well enough. I’ve killed hundreds of cranes, and you need some type of barrier between you and them, rock pile, fence line, or a blind of some sort. I got a kick out of him saying how they were coming right at them and then decided to turn at 500 yards. They were 100% flaring off them, and will easily do it at 500 yards. Pass shooting isn’t a bad way to go, but you need to hide, and let them get to you. Those first cranes they were shooting at were honestly probably low enough to kill if they came directly over the top of you, but those never made it even close to their line as they saw them way before they were close enough. Cranes are super easy to kill. They have thin feathers compared to ducks and geese and are all head, neck and wing so there’s a big target. I could see where there’d be frustration with the guide if it was sold as a decoy hunt, but ended up being a pass shoot. That being said, despite having $4000 worth of full body crane decoys in my trailer, I pass shooting them a fair bit, it can be an extremely effective way to kill them. You aren’t going to get cranes to commit right into a spread of silhouette decoys, they will as a rule flair about 100-120 yards out, even if you’re hid well, so I don’t think it’s even a real great option unless you’ve got great decoys.

For the purpose of accuracy and to correct several misstatements, the following facts are provided for the record: 1. Client Count A total of eight (8) clients participated in the hunt, inclusive of you and your companion. 2. Lodging and Meals Ward’s Outfitters covered the cost of your hotel accommodations. Meals, including dinner, were not included in your hunt package. This is expressly stated in your signed contract, which governs the terms of service. 3. Hunting Setup and Conduct During the morning hunt, your position was oriented facing north. Additionally, statements made regarding a 12-year-old hunter allegedly interfering with your hunt are inaccurate and inappropriate. Youth hunters are legally permitted to participate and were in full compliance with all applicable regulations. 4. Blind Configuration and Hunting Method Placing six to eight hunters in a single blind significantly increases the likelihood of confusion regarding harvested birds. For this reason, Ward’s Outfitters exercised professional discretion to hunt using an alternative method that morning. 5. Duration of Hunt On the second day of the hunt, nine (9) sandhill cranes were harvested. You voluntarily elected to book a one-day hunt, thereby limiting your field opportunity. 6. Nature of Sandhill Crane Hunting Sandhill crane movement and behavior are highly variable and unpredictable. Clients are routinely advised to book multiple hunting days to increase success. 7. Season Results During the current season, Ward’s Outfitters clients harvested a total of sixty-eight (68) sandhill cranes. As is customary in guided hunts of this nature, harvest success is not guaranteed, and some clients did not harvest their full legal limit. 8. Communication of Concerns Ward’s Outfitters encourages clients to communicate concerns directly and promptly so they may be addressed in real time. Public complaints made without prior contact do not accurately reflect the opportunity provided. 9. Good-Faith Resolution While Ward’s Outfitters maintains that services were rendered in accordance with the contract, we regret your dissatisfaction. As a good-faith gesture, should you draw again next season, we are willing to provide a complimentary three-day hunt, during which you would have increased opportunity consistent with the nature of sandhill crane hunting. This response is provided to clarify the factual record. Ward’s Outfitters fulfilled all contractual obligations associated with your hunt.
