no worries

SPF. Thanks Jim

Thanks Chris. My 12 year old has that hunt.

Nope. Other guy bought my ammo. Meeting him half way. 520 349-2926. Jim

I'm going up to the Casa Grand area this week to meet up with another member.

Just curious, taking both the kids hunting again this year and they are pretty stoked. Lots of pre hunt talk about what they would shoot and what they are going to pass up. Seems like we start the hunt thinking we are passing up anything short of a monster buck and as we come to grips with reality we become less selective. ( Closing time syndrome. ) With kids, it's pretty hard to pass up a small buck and not fill their tag. What approach do you guys take? Has it worked?

I've never had much interest in sheep, but it was really cool to watch a herd today. First time for me. Just outside of Greer this afternoon there was a herd of 16. One decent looking ram in the group. Tried to get pics of him but the IPhone wasn't cooperating, the background was to dark. I sat there for 30 minutes and watched them at 100 yards or so. Great way to spend some time.

Love the funny angle comment. Thanks for flipping it.

Thanks for sharing the great story and pics. Glad you found the lost rangefinders, I've donated a items .

Thanks everyone for the replies. Enjoyed the funny ones too. Both my kids were fortunate last year to tag out on a couple of little coues and get that "first deer" under their belt. Of course they want to top last year, but it's really going to depend on what we are seeing, how much time is left and the weather forecast. I'll leave the choice up to them (and hope the first buck is a shooter).

Bought this last fall from Sportsman and never fired it ( $750 plus tax). Still in the original box. T3 model with 24 inch barrel. Comes with an extra unused magazine ($50 from Tikka). Black synthetic stock. These are great lightweight rifles. I have two other Tikkas and both shoot 3/4 MOA or better with hand loads. I'll post pics in the next couple of days. Thanks, Jim text me at 520 349-2926 (NW Tucson area)

Sold !!!! thanks everyone, Jim

That's a good price for a clean Honda 2000.

sold pending funds thanks, Jim

I have 12 unopened boxes of factory 120 gr SST Hornady 6.8 ammo. Bought these at Midway and paid around $1.20 per round by the time they arrived. Works out to about half price if you purchase all the ammo. Thanks, Jim Located in NW Tucson. text or call 520 349-2926

Weldor, thanks for the interest but the rifle is sold pending funds. Another CWT member is meeting me on Sat. to complete the deal. If it falls thru, I'll pm you. Thanks Jim

Hi Becker My buddy must have removed it. I don't even know who he went with or which exact unit they hunted. Wouldn't mind the gps numbers tho. Lol

MtGoat. Thanks for trying.

My youngest (12 yo) was drawn for the Oct. 7th Youth hunt in 34A. He shot a lil coues last year in 36B and wants to go after a Muley this time. Anyone else have this hunt or 34A mule deer advice ?? Thx Jim

Hi MtGoat Price is $650 including the 2nd magazine. Thx for passing it on to your friend.

Rifle is still available. Here are a few pics.

I really like the Sightron SIII on the two other Tikkas we own. Bigsupplyshop.com has the best pricing I've found. Clear glass and excellent tracking. In your price range there are lots of great scopes out there. Cameraland has some great sales are are easy to deal with as well . Thanks for the purchase BTW. Jim

Big or Bust , you are correct on the length. I misread the 22.4 length on the box as being 24". ( thanks for catching that) Good news is it's SPF to one of our CWT members.

Here are a few pics.

Used spotting scope that I picked up here from another member. Mossy oak camo with full size green protective cover. Body/glass and cover are perfect. Not sure of the model number and I don't see any part numbers on the scope. Decent quality as you would expect from $300 (when new) Nikon product. Cover can be left on while in use and spotter has a built in telescopic sunshade. Located in Tucson and will ship at your expense if needed. Thanks, Jim PS : I will add pics soon or text me at 520 349-2926 for pics or details

SOLD thanks,JIm
