TR0UBLE SH00TER

I use the Thompson/Center Triumph. It's a good budget choice for muzzle loaders. It has a few unique features like a speed breech. Here's mine:

I read about this in the local paper but it said he was last seen on 12/30 and last heard from via text on 1/12 (4 days ago). And that he talked about getting out of town.

I was thinking of applying for a antler-less elk hunt on 10/20 - 10/26, but I don't want to miss my deer hunt in a different unit that is from 10/21 - 10/30ish. Can anyone tell me if they will move the conflicting deer hunts or will they stay the same? Or what's the normal procedure when they have moved the weeks of the elk hunts. Thank you in advance.

Thank you

OK, Thank you guys.

Just a FYI, to be very careful which roads you are traveling on around that entrance to Perrin Ranch. Many hunters drive right past the two G&F (Road Closed To Vehicle Traffic) signs that are just past the check in kiosk. One on the left at K4 tank & one right before the RR underpass. The only two roads! I met two guys that had been charged by G&F for illegal hunting while driving around back there.

How is this possible?

To be clear, the Buck 110 would fall within the law. But I hear what you're getting at.

Yes, thank you for clarifying that too. I just wanted to add that info to the conversation. I read up on the law a few years ago when I was buying my own son his first knife.

It has to be a folding knife for him to legally carry it here in AZ. At least until he's 21.

(Edit): We ended up hunting for 6 days straight, 3 with my little one right by our side. On third day a forky ran right up on us at like 30 yards while we were talking to a game warden. He got spooked and darted off in the bushes and while we were trying to find him, a truck pulled up from the road and the father and son jumped out and shot him right in front of us. On the 4th night we spotted 2 forkies and a doe right at dusk at 460 yards, but we ran out of good shooting light and then they weren't there in the morning. But while looking for them ended up spotting a nice 3 x 3 bedded down on the side of a hill at 315 yards. All we could see was his big head and while attempting to get closer for a better shot he got spooked and ran over the hill. For the next two hours went all the way around the hill, directly through the cat claw bushes trying to find him, but never did. On the 6th morning we conquered just about the biggest hill in the area, to find this beautiful specimen. Ryder shot him in the lungs at 360 yards. All of the hard work payed off and it was a great lesson for Ryder. Hunting teaches so many valuable lessons and that's exactly why I wanted to teach my two sons to do it.

Thank you.

He's doing two mule deer shoulder mounts for me currently. One is my son's...

Really cool looking animal! And tasty too!

Thank you. He hunted pretty hard for 9 days (we took of the middle day off) last season on the unit 10, youth antler-less hunt. And while he did get his scope on one cow, she ducked behind some Juniper and the tag is still in his drawer. That hunt didn't deter him.

My son found one on his hunt:

I've been enjoying this thread for years. And now it's my turn to post some photos. Ryder's first Arizona mule deer, at 11 years old.

Thank you and good luck to you! He's resting up as we speak and we'll try to get him a Javelina tomorrow in 20A.

Yes, my five year old walked up and over one of the biggest mountains in the unit to help us get him. If he wouldn't have agreed to conquer that mountain at 6 am yesterday we would have probably only got a forky like it seems everyone else got. That would have been OK, but this one is pretty special to Ryder. Many valuable lessons learned on this hunt, for all of us.

Special thanks to: Cody Bigelow Johnny Bigelow Brady Poggendorf And, Matt & Mike!

Kid learned some great lessons on this hunt. Hard work payed off this time!

Thank you for the encouragement! My son, 11, will be starting his first ever deer hunt tomorrow. Any antlered in 20C. I might be more excited than he is... Anyway, good luck to all the youth hunters and their mentors. And be safe out there everyone!
