Big or Bust

Not necessarily looking for info just love the tidbits if you have any. Crazy you say the lack of aggression. I'm talking blacktails not AZ blacks. I have a training hike I do twice a week behind my house on some rocky hills. Over the years I've likely encountered at least 15 blacktails on or near the trails I have made. Every single one has basically come at me and rattled profusely. Nasty nasty agressive....

I love tidbits like this. Keep them coming. Any blacktail info? My local ranges are loaded and they are the meanest freaking snakes I've ever encountered....

1.1" in far southwest Tucson area. It has been a celebration day for sure.

4 racks of these....

4 racks of ribs here as well going on in a couple hours....

Sometimes I love the sporadic stuff. I'd eat it...

Had that last night. Hardest thing is remembering to take a pic....

Elk onion smashburgers. And yes it's a very well used cookie sheet. I have 10 of them and they all look the same. And I don't make cookies. Lol

Killer deals.... Location?

4th choice coues muzzie tag..

Crappie is epic good. Best fresh cooked fish there is, fried or otherwise...

Homemade pizza all the way through. Pesto for the base sauce, leftover strip steak, caramelized onion, good parm, moz, etc.

Good guy bump....

Agree...

Harlows in Tucson did mine and did a phenomenal job. 165 pound southern AZ tom...

Sarcasm, copy that....

Curious which state is your top and for what reason if you care to share. I've got my eyes open always as well but we all have different priorities.

Great job all around and great field photo. One day I'll draw that tag, maybe...

Pork loin over mesquite, mango salsa....

Yes.

The 23's are special for sure, especially during the rut. Both rut hunts I've been on in there in the past few years it seems the bulls under 340" just hide when the dinosaurs come out to rut. Take as much time as you can to hunt and shoot a big boy. The bull to cow ratio makes for epic rut hunts with monsters possible. I had the early rifle hunt a few years back in 23S, an extremely lucky draw and hunted the border of North and South. I passed 370's multiple times opening day. It's a special hunt, I'd argue one of the top 3 rut hunts for giants in the country.... Good luck and post up your results here.....

I have the exact same rifle. As good as it gets in a hunting rifle IMO. Free bump....

Old school Arroz con Pollo from scratch. Epic...

Model C557 I have a very lightly used scope for sale as described above. Purchased in fall of 2023. Mounted on 1 rifle and has been on 1 hunt. I simply have too many scopes. Light ring marks on bottom of tube that are not visible when mounted (see pics). Otherwise not a mark on it. Works perfectly. Will ship in original box. I'll cover shipping to lower 48. We can split insurance. $1,050 shipped. Face to face will reduce this a bit. Tucson area. https://www.eurooptic.com/C557-NF-Nightforce-SHV-4-14x50-F1-1-MIL--illuminated-Mil-R-r.aspx

Reduced to $1,000....
