  6. Went out on opening day Friday to look for a bruiser out in Redington to my secret spot 😆. Turned up 16 does and 1 decent 2x, it was 600 yds out, complete opposite direction of truck. He will live another day!!! Saturday had family obligations so I got some good rest for Sunday. Headed out this morning to the front side of Mt Lemmon to my other secret spot😅. The hill was straight up and full of shin daggers…..I absolute hate those things!!!! Found multiple doe right from the get go. Started glassing across this canyon and found 5 bucks right away. Ranged them at just under 800 yds. Where I was positioned on the down slope of this hill I couldn’t use my bipod, so I hurried down hill to a more level spot and a flat rock. They were milling around and ranged them again at 750 yds. As I extend my bipod and position the rifle I keep looking through the big binos and I thought let’s try and see my rifle is up for the challenge. I’ve shot rocks out to 800, but never a deer. 1st shot was just above the deer, I see dirt/dust fly. Reload and send another one. Same spot, more dust. I back the clicks down 2 and send the 3rd round….. bam deer down. As I get some landmarks as to where the deer fell I start walking. 8:10 was shot, I didn’t find the deer till 9:23. The mountain was so steep and so thick of vegetation I couldn’t find the rock formation it fell by. Finally found it…..wheeew. Took some pics and started the long drag out, dropped it off at the butcher and now back at home relaxing. Looking forward to my daughters WT hunt Nov 7.

    WT Personal best for distance

    Well the Zeiss 15x60 didn’t let me down on determining what they were and my 3x18-50 scope allowed me to send lead with confidence. With that being said, the binos will be in the classifieds within 1-2 weeks. Need to pay for for the (4) elk and this deer processing. Any interest please PM me. $875.00 for binos with Tricer bino adapter.

    They shoot lights out, feel really good in your hand. I absolutely love them, have a lot of guns that I just don’t shoot and just need the $$ for other stuff that I probably don’t need😅🤣

    Some of your best memories about the outdoors?

    When I was 14, my dad, my best friend Tony and his dad which he and my dad got along great went archery deer and javelina hunting in January in 36B down off of Ruby Rd near Nogales. We get to our destination to set up camp and realize we lost a sleeping bag on the drive out. We set up our tents and decided to drive to Nogales and pick one up. After we purchase one, the weather starts to turn, rain and wind and the dads decide it’s no use to go back to camp and want to cross the border into Nogales, Mex. They both decide to give me and Tony an educational experience. We drive a little way in and park. Well we wind up on Canal Street, which yes did have water running down the middle of it and walk into some seedy building the right. Unbeknownst to us 14yr olds, it was a whorehouse. We all pack into a booth, a server walks up, our dads allow to buy a Mexican beer (wasn’t my first, just my first with my dad) Then 2 very old (at least to me) and very ugly women came up to us asking if we wanted any thing…. My buddy and I were in total shock while our dads were laughing their butts off looking at us. Both dads kindly declined, we finished our beers and left. We ended going back to camp, no one tagged out that weekend but this memory will outlive any tag filled!!!

    5BN limited hunt part II

    These limited hunts really should be called limit out hunts😂😆😁 My youngest and I hunted opening day, lots of sign, no elk and didn’t hear any shots anywhere…. Thought uh oh, a week later after my daughters hunt things have changed up a bit. Going to have to step up my guiding skills for my boys and me. Well my oldest showed up late Friday evening and we discussed Saturday’s game plan. We woke up a bit late and high tailed it out to where my daughter shot hers. Glassed and walked our butts off…..nothing!!! Got back to the truck and told them we are going to climb a bitty mountain and glass. As we near the top both boys here a bugle around 10:30, I looked at them and said are you sure? My youngest booked it up to the top and instantly looked down at us and raised 3 fingers. He said elk!! As we get up there, 1 massive 6x and at least 10 cows walking between the junipers. I range them, 165 yds. My oldest sends lead, he misses and racks another. Bam…elk down!! My youngest, sends lead and misses, the elk move closer to about 100yds. My oldest hands me the gun he using so I could shoot. My youngest shoots again, misses again. He racks another and drops his. A cow freezes just behind where my youngest shot his, I squeeze off a round and it drops. The rest of the herd runs off. We are all excited and high 5’s, but deep down I’m crying knowing 1 elk is great, 2 elk is going to suck, 3 elk will absolute frigging kill me. We got all 3 elk gutted and I grab both guns and head toward the truck to drive around to a closer spot. My two kids drag one elk down…. It kicked their butts. I met them with water, but we needed Gatorade. I drove back to camp to grab some as well a chainsaw. We walked up to the other one, cut it in half. Dragged the 2 pieces back. Then walked up to the 3rd one, did the same. 662yds from the truck and basically up hill, (3) times. This dad is so proud but so pooped!!! With my daughters elk last week and the (3) today, I think we are set for a bit. I do have my WT hunt next week in 33, I’m going to be very picky as to what I shoot. pics coming shortly

    The pics don’t do justice, the biggest was 337 and smallest was 318. The 3rd pic doesn’t want to download.

    We have and contemplated, but the 1/2 mile up hill and then back down multiple times for 2 separate elk didn’t seem appealing.

    5BN Limited hunt success

    My daughter was lucky enough to draw a 5B North Limited Twin Arrows cow elk and was able to fill her tag opening day at 10 AM. It rained quite a bit Thursday and then start sprinkling Friday morning, then let up and we were able to locate a small herd and she was able to fill her tag, but then sky opened up and it was just an absolute nightmare, rain storm…..mud up to your ankles, water drenched multiple trips to and from the kill site to the vehicle stuck vehicles, just an absolute mess, but a complete success. Me and my two boys have the same hunt starting this weekend. Looking forward to fill three more tags.
