Big or Bust

Up for Buster... Care to comment?

Absense of apex predators is the absolute cause of damage to riparian areas? Oh this could be rich....

No. Fake news. That crash was in Afghanistan.... Dudes on the ground couldn't see Kobe's chopper above them. Way too foggy. It hit hard but that video ain't it. Been debunked already....

Howdy guys - I'm looking for a beater Remington 700 SA, only .473 bolt face (.243, .260, 7-08, .308)..... Any outsized youth rifles or safe queens are perfect. Factory everything is fine. Shoot me a PM please - thanks!

Super bucks. Congrats.

Not trying to say you were gonna upgrade bro. Just brainstorming on your lack of info for folks to try to find your deer and the motivations behind it. One of which is covering up your hunting area. I get it. But just be clear. Sorry for insinuating.

I am cool bro. I'm not an asshole as I don't think you are even though likely tons of folks on here think you are. You tell it like it is. Like I am right now. I really hope you find him or someone does. Sincerely.

I'll back away from this thread now. Goodness. Have fun. Hope you find him, sincerely.....

Don't be a victim now, come on. Especially you.

I'm not trying to be rude bro. I'm just saying I would get out and not be on this forum if you really wanted to find him. Bro, with all due respect, you post significantly more dickish things on this forum almost weekly than what I just did which is pretty common sensical. If you wanted him truly found you'd post a lot more info or at least I would. If you want to save your hunting spot I get it but I don't wanna impose my ethics on you as you said earlier....

If you want someone to find a random deer in the state of Arizona, I'd suggest giving a bit more info on where you were so the 200 people that see your post can have a bit of a clue on helping you find your deer unless you don't want him found so you can have a chance to do better this fall. Not trying to impose my ethics on you earlier. Everyone views things differently....

Amen ...I didn't know what the buck was until I walked up to him. What I get for hunting solo. I only passed 5 bucks bigger than him that day...😯😬

All good. I glassed that shed up and had to go back for it as I was busy packing this guy out.

I'd keep hunting for the deer hit in the face with a broken head in him and hope I find him. Personally, I'd punch my AZ 2020 regardless.... Good luck finding him trphyhntr. Stuff like that happens in the archery game...

Ok bud - thanks for the input. I'm simply sharing what I found and the reasoning behind my suspicions. Believe it or not. I could give a shoot.

That was my first thought. However I think the deer did it. It was middle of nowhere so would have been an illegal that did it. It had other scrapes on the cactus at that area that had healed. If a person did it I'm not sure I would see that. Lastly, the match was within eyesight. So, the person could have done it twice. I'm leaning toward the buck shed one, had an unbalanced head, and solved the problem immediately. But who knows.

When in public in summer I pocket carry a Ruger LCP. It's an 8-10 yard gun but that's fine for what I would use it for. In winter it's an IWB Kahr CW40. The LCP is a great concealed little bugger that I likely carry the most.....

I was fortunate to have had a chance at this buck with the AZ heat last week and the moon. Extremely poor movement during the day and it was a grind. Scouting him in the summer and he was the #2 buck. Found this guy up and feeding in the evening in the heat for the first time in 3 days. Got set up, he fed my way, and I made a poke. 6.5 PRC, 130 Berger VLD. He's 1/4" shy of 30" wide...

I didn't know Savages came with McGowen barrels, punched Ackley, and with complimentary Lapua brass.... Keep it classy as usual...

I have some excess powder for sale that I don't plan on using at this point. I unsealed them all just to make sure everything looked right before listing. Powder Valley has 5 pounders for $113 prior to shipping and hazmat. I have two unused 5 pounders of RL -15 for a total of 10 pounds - $100 each. Buy both for $190. I have one unused 5 pounder of RL-19 - $100 I have a partially used 5 pound canister of RL-17 which contains about 3 pounds and 2 ounces of powder (canisters weigh about 7-8 ounces) - $50 I am in the Tucson area and can do FTF in the adjacent areas to save shipping, etc. Weight of RL -17

All that is left is the RL-19...

Lance, I'm south of Tucson but you are welcome to come try my Kifaru, with a Reckoning bag out anytime you are around....

Heckuva buck bud...

RL -17 sold...
