Dude post some good pictures of the mount!

Ill need phone number and guarantee of atleast one date.

I bought this from the sight a couple years ago. Actually a pretty decent scope for the low price 20-60x65 ( I believe it is 65mm I have the box at home) Scope is in excellant condition with lens caps, and neoprene cover. Glass looks 98+% (looks 100% to me, but ill call it lower) and I am sure the body is in as new condition as the cover has been on the entire time. I have the original box, I would like to get $200 OBO for it shipped but will always listen to trades.

SPF

Yes, two awesome bucks. Congrats!

I guessed him in the 118" range, and your score looks dead on. One of the most impressive 120" class bucks I have seen. Gorgeous deer, hope your taxiderist mounts him up real nice!

From what I've seen were talking like 30-75 FPS which is nothing...

$175

I cant tell for sure if one of the guys is armed or not, but I would shoot the deer and make sure to give plenty of time before I head over.

Good read. I know you have posted the pictures before but you cant post the story without reposting the photos. It is against forum rules.

Gotta love when other hunters go out of their way to help someone else out! Congrats

Ermesto, youre needing some "Just For Men" hair coloring. I see some salt and pepper developing! Nicely done on the dog, I am hoping to get out this weekend!

Way to pop your muzzleloader cherry! nice buck!

Wow that buck is AWSOME! What my dreams are made of!

The scope is a 20-60x70 and here are some pictures:

The swivel Harris is the ONLY way to go. My dad is a little bit of a penny pincher... He bought a Outdoor Ridge (I think) bi-pod trying to save money over the Harris. It literally fell apart in one or two seasons. My bi-pods are both well seasoned and work like champions!

You most certainly dont HAVE to. Dont pay attention to that crap. Have fun, shoot what you want! Its YOUR tag not someone elses! Great job!

I have personally taken game well past 500 with my 257. I had a shot opportunity this past hunt and nearly 700 yards on a nice buck and did not hesitate to take it. Unfortunately, I was just a little low (personal calculation error) but I have 100% in my rifle/bullet combination to ethically and humanly kill game at that distance.

Zendejas voted MVP for ASU. What a bunch of crap. ASU did play a really good game though. Tip of the hat to ASU on that game.

Longer version: I headed out at about 8 am Thanksgiving morning to set up a few pieces of my camp so that I could cut down on set up time Friday when I headed out. When I got home from doing that, I come in and see my dad in tears.. Being only the 3rd or 4th time I've ever seen that, I knew something was wrong. That is when I heard the news. I get to camp at about 11 am Friday morning. Tracy and Angie are there, but out hunting. Right at noon I hear a BOOM and know its them.... Ill let Tracy tell that part, but nothing died. That night we go west of camp. With my lame ankle I couldn't go all that far but we managed to find really good glassing spot. Within 5 minutes of setting up I tell Tracy "I've got a buck and he might be a toad!" It was getting dark, and we both really wanted Angie to get a buck so off they went. They got set up and I had the video camera rolling. Tracy text me said they had him at 250 yards and once he stood the Chupacabra was gonna hammer him. I hear a "pop" and see the buck stand. Once he stands I hear a BOOM! And he runs off. Unsure of a hit or not we back out and go to check in the morning. Tracy wasnt feeling well so Angie and I went out. In the morning, I glassed this buck up again on the same hill within 100 yards of where they shot at him. Unfortunately, he bedded down within 5 mintues of me finding him so we backed out. Unfortunately, we arent able to find another buck and their time is out so they leave. Sunday night my good buddy Matt comes into town and he is there for the remainder of the hunt. Him and I always have a good hunting together and he worked his arse off being able to get there so we got a little carried away that night and didnt get out until the afternoon the next day. It had been windy all morning and it continued to be but we managed to find quite a few deer during the day just none with a racks! The next morning we set up in the same area and within 5 minutes, Matt has the nice buck found feeding but up towards the top of the hill he is on. We leap frog it to the next ridge. With him getting near the top and no way to get closer I set the turrets on my scope to "a country mile". I squeeze a shot off and the buck jumps about 3 feet in the air and walks off. I find him again and fire another one and this one misses just over his back. Matt tells me he thinks that first shot killed him so we give him about an hour before we head over there. After playing the shot over and over in our heads and discussing it we think that buck is laying in the trees dead. When we get over there theres nothing. Clean miss. That night Larry gets into camp and we are all confident were gonna find some deer. Low and behold we do. Again, within 5 minutes Matt finds the buck I killed and another small 3x3 in the same exact spot as the bigger buck the morning before. After a short discussion Larry and I are on the move trying to get to a different rock pile for a little but closer shot. When we get there I find the buck at the top of the hill about to top over. He doesnt appear again. After a while we back out and eat lunch. We discuss a different rock pile that will give us a different angle into the cut that the bucks went into. We get set up on the hill and again, within 5 minutes, I find the two bucks bedded right near a oak tree. We range it at 291 yards. Larry gets his video camera on him and Matt is the spotter. It takes the buck about 30 minutes to stand up. At 5:00 on the dot he stands up. I ask Larry if he is ready with the camera and he says go for it. Off comes the safety, I squeeze the trigger and before I can say anything Matt lets out a very enthusisatic BOOM!! Assuming that means he dropped dead, they inform me he dropped dead in his tracks right where he was bedded. After some high 5's we walk over there and collect the buck! Larry, Matt, Tracy and Angie I cant thank you all enough for coming out. It was a awesome time and I am looking forward to doing it agian! Larry, post up the video and some of your pictures when you get a chance.

replacement tag $4.00 @ G&F

as far as I'm concerned any and all the time in the field can be rewarding , the more time out there the better your chances especilly if you've done your "homework"

This morning, my uncle went to wake up my grandmother, to find she had passed in her sleep. She was 89 years old, and had been miserable since my grandpa died in 2003. She was a great lady and will be missed. Thankfully, she passed peacefully and painlessly, although it was Thanksgiving morning. Grandma Charter, rest in peace. Now you have joined back up with grandpa in Heaven. Rest easy.

The west side of I-19 from south of the Arivaca road to Nogales. All of it holds deer.
