Sky Island junkie

Take your kids out this weekend and do some driving around down there. Fort Grant road west off of 191. A few miles in and you’re in whitetail country. The hills both side of the road hold deer. Find a hill, hike to the top and start glassing.

My tire story above was apples to oranges to what you’re doing. I don’t consider anyone lazy for getting help sighting their rifle in. I was fortunate to have a father who taught me at a very early age the basics. Not just firearms but automotive, construction etc. So while I don’t need that help, there are plenty who do. I’m sure it’s a good time as well!

Awesome story and congrats! Thanks for sharing!

Pulled next to a guy the other day Houghton and Broadway who was riding on his rim in a pretty new SUV. Got his attention and told him something I thought he didn’t know. He said he knew and was going to take it to Discount close to I10 (probably 10 miles). Tire was trashed and the rim too by the time he got there. The world is lazy!

Nothing to write home about, when I get bored and want a workout I tie one. Or I tie one on!😂

Yeah definitely not a crankbait for old wrists!

I lost a DD22 the other day to a rocky point! Kinda hurt!

Great to hear that the guy is going to the trouble to find the owner! Little different scenario but a few years back, I was watching a buck with my wife about a mile off. I decided to go after him so while I was packing up my pack I told her to keep her eyes on him. Got all packed up and took off, got about 500 yards out when I realized forgot my gun! We still laugh about that one. I told her she better not tell anyone but didn’t take but a week and we were both telling on me! Guess a little time dulls the embarrassment! So yeah crap happens out there!

Awesome! Really old school! I’ve often wanted to take my granddads open sighted rifle and hunt them the way he did! Some day

Didn’t mean that the way it came out! Actually most of the bucks I’ve killed were smaller than these two for sure so no stud head hunter here! But as you and I might think these are real trophies, there are a few guys out there that would go home empty handed before killing one of these!

😂 drive by the A almost daily. Guess I should’ve said don’t know the sierritas that we’ll, only hunted a couple times

not familiar with this unit but not sure sitting water would be best. I think most of southern az got a lot of precip so there could be a lot of pockets of water so the deer, especially bucks don’t have to go as far to drink. Just my 2 cents

Agreed! I’ve killed a lot of bucks and while these are definitely not toads, probably 95% of coues hunters wouldn’t let either one of these walk! But yeah in 33, a guy could hold out for better for sure!

I’d say IDGAF and send it!🤣 Oh heck yeah!!

Forget all this BS and take your girl out and have a ball!! Good luck this morning!

Much respect for this man and his family! I felt for him when he lost his wife! Not many left like him! Thanks for posting and I’ll watch tonight!

Son of a buck! How’d you get dragged into this drama??!!🤣

Awesome! Most frightening sight in the world!!! A spooked wife in camp, all by herself with a gun!! Man that’s a whole other topic!!😂

Could be some stupid teenagers. Shed hunting has become so competitive even among the young ones. Regardless just sucks that what’s its come to. Having to hide our stuff!

I always figured the reason Ive never had anything ripped off from camp is that no one in their right mind would walk into a hunting camp, not knowing how many guns might be on em. Guess I’m just one of the lucky ones!

Man! What stones that puke has to come into any hunting camp and do that! So sorry you and your daughter had to have that happen to you on such a special outing! Maybe if you contact the ranch manager he can poke around a bit? They certainly don’t want those kinds of asshats running around on their ranch!

I love that show! I think Lizzy would be a blast to go wheeling with! Yes I think I’ve see a couple episodes where he lost his seal. Of course he puts a lot of stress on those tires!

I too have a Tacoma. I haven’t let the air out too many times but when I did, I took it down to 25 psi. I was concerned about the possibility of breaking the bead if I went lower than that. I’m a bit of a nervous nelly messing with my 4x4s tires while in the field

Hey man, a line was crossed today and you didn’t deserve that! That said, when hunters are asked to possibly give up spots that they’ve taken years or decades to figure out, they can get a little edgy, especially with our hunting areas shrinking due to more hunters. Game and Fish regs do give good general starting points and with a couple scouting trips, you should be able to figure it out. Good luck to you and your dad!

Holy Smokes! Brutal!!🤣 I think he’ll find it easier to go find the deer himself than to escout on this site again!😂
