This is a Sako .223 Vixxen L461. Originally chambered in .222. Does not come with scope but will include the leupold rings. 1 in 14 barrel twist works really well for the light fast varmint rounds. It is very used but very smooth action and nice trigger. 602-430-7509 prefer text and I will get back with you. I am an hour north of phoenix but work in Verde and I am in North Phoenix every Sunday.

These boots are still in great shape I used them for one season of Wildland fires and then very few times after that. I paid almost 500 for them new they are awesome boots but not for walking on concrete floors all day which is what I do now. I believe they are 11's I wear an 11 in meindl and danner boots. I live in Mayer but work in Camp Verde and I'm in North Phoenix most weekends.

I never get much nerves during the shot, this time a little because of how close and quick it all happened, but I get the adrenaline dump after I think I stared at my phone trying to remember how to make a phone call for a good two minutes afterwards haha. Thank you all for the congratulations

This was my first hunt during the rut. I had a blast bulls weren't bugling like crazy but definitely heard some the first 3 mornings. Then they were silent for the next 3. I had several opportunities the first 4 days on very small bulls but chose to hold out since I had a couple close calls on a 350-360 bull. He disappeared though . I arrowed this bull at 36yds the arrow dead centered a rib but the arrow and rage broadheads still did a good job I hit a few inches higher than what would of been perfect so most of the bleeding was internal and the blood trail ran dry. Came back the next morning and found him 75 yds from where we stopped looking the night before. My hunt was almost ruined this night by another hunter driving during prime time I finally heard a bugle for the first time in 3 days while sitting water. Not two minutes later someone drives past my vehicle and parks 75 yds from the water and started to walk in. Eventually he sees me and walks back to his vehicle I thought he was leaving but he chose to hunt just on the other side of me leaving his vehicle there. The elk started to come to water but got spooked by the other hunters vehicle parked within sight of the water. They began to run straight through not stopping to drink. I started to blow some soft cow calls under my arm and got them to stop. I blew a couple more and the lead cow circled back in, the bull followed her in I took a quick range drew my bow and let one go. Then sat there for the next 5 minutes wondering if it all actually happened haha.
Don't mean to complain about another hunter but that was very disappointing to see especially after sitting on water for almost 4 hours waiting for that prime time of day. Either it all worked out. This hunt was an absolute blast and wouldn't trade the experience.I thank God for the opportunity and ability to be able to hunt these animals. Look out for each other out there. A huge thanks to my friend Bubba in the last picture for the tips and helping retrieve this bull as well, finally got the picture to cooperate.
