Not possible.... If you hit an animal in the foot with a creedmoor they will die instantly

Due to a youth hunt that took way longer than expected this year, I did not make it up to help on a late bull hunt. First time in quite a while I wasn't up there assisting on knocking down some bulls. The guys I know who were up there said it was an absolute shoot show with literally hundreds of pickups stuck, very few roads passable and tons of guys concentrated in the accessible areas. This is in multiple units with the same basic report. Make me wonder if it really is as bad as they are making it sound?

Id pull it earlier than the low range of your desired final temp. If you want 130-135 final, I would pull at 125, wrap in foil, put a hot towel around that and place in an ice chest. As mentioned above, doing it this way, hours later the meat can still be too hot to handle.

Nice! looks like same ram in the video you posted?

Good pass imo. He's ugly... I know some will disagree but imo, sheep score means nothing if I like his "look."

Climate and food arrangements play a huge role in how much water I take. I carry a 32oz. Nalgene for water and a 16 ounce for flavored electrolyte drinks. My bladder in my pack holds 3 liters and is used to fill my nalgenes as needed. I could make it on 4 litres, but would feel way better having 6ish. I make coffee in the am, mountainhouse of some type in the evening and sometimes a dessert. I also tend to pack more food than most. I once count where I can, but food and water usually aren't one I focus on too much. I consider them a necessity and just deal with the weight.

I think everyone should turn their tags in... Elk are gonna be buried over their horns anyway. 😝

Looks like Seizmik

LOL I think the order is up to the seller......

Last season we got 6" to a foot in 7 on the late bull hunt. It was really cold and the animals were everywhere. Can't wait to help out again this year.

Man... Mathews- You really have a way of making people hate you. FFS who gives a shoot if he got some help. It is HIS deer, HIS story and doesn't sound like it involves you in any way. Do yourself and Mathews outfitting a favor and quit pissing in people's wheaties.

South of Squaw is not that rough. Good starting point for sure. Good luck!

Man, I am sorry to hear of that BS! That sucks bad. Like I said above, I would take the tag and worst case scenario, you are out a little gas money. I am pretty confident that landowners would have no problem helping you out.

Didn't you get a deer already in 3A/3C? I thought you had a tag in there earlier this year. Do these depredation hunts count toward your 1 deer a year quota? I have heard that these depredation tags are usually because landowners are complaining about nuissance animals. I would think AZGFD would give you some contacts of people who are complaining about the deer damaging their crops and the landowner would grant access to shoot said deer.

Must of burned all his comp time

Ultralite tarp 6x9 to throw in the pack. I use mine for a wide range of uses. Jimmy tarps makes an affordable one. Helinox chair zero camp chair. Things are amazing Pyro putty- another lighweight fire starter that actually works packable puffy jacket- I use one from eddie bauer. Super light weight and insanely warm

I like the 10$ minimum bid increase. $140

Since we are bidding.. I will go $110

1000 rounds of 9mm is 175$ online at multiple sites.

Yup, I think we need different levels of poaching as well. Some guys honestly make mistakes and shoot the wrong animal. While I still believe they should be punished, it should not be as severe as say someone who shot a deer in the wrong unit, used the wrong weapon and then tried to cover it up. I think aggravated poaching should carry much stiffer penalties.

This will sound weird... Use a map.

Lion.. just right of saguaro.

Someone needs a phone scope....

How do you think Ninilchik did as an operation? I may do this in the next 5 years or so after I check off Moose. After my trip this year, I am now looking at new ways to get back to Alaska ASAP. That place is special and so remote it doesn't even feel real sometimes.

No, worries, let me know. I need a magnum bolt face tikka for my next build. I will buy your 300wsm for $550.00, if you buy my 22-250 for $550.00. 🤣
