What s/a caliber did this come off of?

Where are you located? Flo-town = Florence?

Congrats!!! Read the post below this; "Hunter 1st Javelina" You will have some more fun taking a daughter hunting too. I have proof! Again, Congrats and enjoy the years to come.....

TJ, Take a look at the youth entry, we'll up there the 6,7,8th of December. Thanks!!

Thanks TJ, She drew the December 6.7.8 hunt. I considered the weather, wanting it to be cold as possible. I'll have to buy less ice I hope, and we don't get a freak heat wave or overly mild winter. Andy

After a few days of extensive glassing, seeing a lot of bucks and no Javelina, my daughter Hunter was ready to put the smack down on something. The third day of the hunt, before we decided to head back to the truck, we decided to do some afternoon varmint calling. Within five minutes we had a double set of coyotes heading in at 350 yards to an old circe wood call. They were working their way to a saddle across the draw from us, ranged at 190 yards. I told Hunter to set up for the saddle and hold on the area. She chose not to use the shooting sticks and set up, seated, elbow on her knee. A couple minutes passed and one of the dogs poked his body through the cactus and stopped in the saddle to try and locate the source of the dying jack rabbit sounds. BLAM! Before I could direct her to the dog, she put down her 1st coyote and blew a little wax out of my ear as I was planning to give her a landmark when she shot. DOG DOWN! On the 4th day, we saw two nice bucks in the mid-90's and glassed up a lone pig two miles away in a grass filled canyon. We made our way to the Javi we saw earlier. As we topped a small hill below the landmark where we saw the Javi, we found a heard of 9 working their way out of a draw at 177 yards, rooting and feeding. She wanted to make a one-shot kill, saying she was only going to need one round, like she did for the coyote. She set up, resting her rifle on my tripod. We looked for an older class javi with a larger head and calloused front knees. We selected one and I put in my ear plugs. She took her time on the trigger and put down her 1st Javelina at 11 years old. A great follow up to shooting an excellent coues buck last year, (page 25 Jr hunt regs, lower right). A proud dad had to share the story............

I forgot to mention, Hunter also drew a Jr's cow elk tag for 6A. She is stoked to say the least!!! It's gonna be a busy fall.....

Congrats on the sheep tag, what unit did you draw? Best of luck on your hunt!

And the story gets better.......After checking the the on-line draw results.....I had to make a double take on Hunter's results. Bighorn Sheep= Not Drawn Jr. Deer/36B= Sucessful, Great!! Buffalo/Cow/Raymond Ranch= Sucessful, HOLY MAN!!!! And with only 4 points! And then come to find that my wife drew a Dec. Whitetail tag. And I got skunked! But I guess getting skunked some times ain't so bad....

Make sure they are '99 or newer when you find some. '97 or older, although still 8 lug, the pattern is off a javelina hair and will not fit. My 2 cents, as i found out on a trip, my spare did not fit.

Thanks, My daughter is eye balling the M-1, thinks it would make a good addition to her collection. Good meeting you, see you at the elk banquet. Andy

PM sent on the M-1.

I'll take the tripod head if you still have it. I'm in Tucson and will pay shipping. Andy

Very nice Jake, Congrats on a fine elk!

KILLER deal! Just paid $800.00 for the same set up in 7mm-08 with a VXIII. That's a $600.00 deal all day long....

What would your price be on the 3 boxes of Federal 140's?

Sportsmans warehouse in Tucson has thermold AR Magazines for $7.99 each. FYI

Congrats, great lookin' bunch! Cigars?

Cory, what's with the shoes bro? Did you borrow them from Arturo? HA!

Try savation army, used clothing stores near a military base of some kind. I'v been finding several stores will occasionally have military digital camo in several sizes to outfit the kids for $5.00-$15.00 for light button up jackets and pants. Some are and can be pretty worn, but they do the trick for the price. I sell this to the kids as; 'It's already broken in'. Works for me in these ecenomic times. My $ .02. Give it a shot.
