Bump

Where we placed him wasn't working out, I really want to find him a good home as soon as possible. FREE to good home. 1 1/2 year old chocolate lab. Male. Neutered. Very energetic. Great with kids. He has always been an outside dog, so he is not house trained. I have been working a lot and haven't been able to walk and run him like I have been. Also, we are going to be moving and won't be able to have dogs where we are going, that is the only reason we are looking for someone to take him. You can also have his dog carrier/kennel. His name is Dollar. He needs someone with the time to exercise him and love him. Again, he is a great dog and needs a great home. FREE. send me and email, txt or call Jared at jsorgan@gmail.com or 480-204-2342 Thanks, Jared

Wouldn't you know it. I just purchased a yellow lab the other day but was leaning towards chocolate. I've always been a day late and a dollar short. TJ Oh! Bummer...

Found a home guys thanks. I'll keep you updated on the puppies,

Yes I will be selling the pups, that was more of a heads up on them,...just trying to find a home for Dollar right now

Young Buck, you are right for sure. Since I was 10 we had a video camera in our pack and said that we would get the shot, etc on video. We never did, we always video taped walking up to the kill and so on but we never even remembered most of the time that we had the video camera at the time of the shot. Just this last Oct. we got the spike I shot on video.After 13 years of hauling the camera around but never using it. We set it up on the tripod, and we captured it! It is not very professional looking but you can see the vapor trail and the hit. We were pretty excited. We plan in the future to have someone on the hunts that their only job is maning the camera and the tripod.

Good Luck Josh! Can't wait to hear about your hunt. I plan to have the funds for a mexico trip next year so keep me in mind. Again, good luck and keep us updated!

awesome buck! congrats and way to make it happen.

In Loving Memory of SKYLAR W. STOCK February 3, 1982- December 7, 2009 Skylar, 27, passed away on December 7, 2009. He was a Tempe firefighter, loving son, brother, husband, father and friend. Survived by his wife Kari (daughter of Paul and Jane Barnes), son Slade , daughters Daisy and Maylee, parents Dennis and Cheryl Stock, siblings Erin Phelps (Shane), Lyndsay Winters (Derek), Marlesa Stock and Beau Stock, Grandparents Dallas and Ginny Stock. Skylar served an LDS mission in Guatemala, was a hard worker and great example to all. In addition, Skylar's father shared the story of their first elk hunt together when Skylar was 13 in unit 6a. Skylar harvested a bull at 25 yards and was hooked. Skylar died in unit 6a helping a friend on his first ever elk hunt. Thanks again, in behalf of the family, for the prayers and support.

ROFLMAO! Relax dude.............dang..........this is just a forum. From this..........you really have no idea what I'm made of.........particularly my hunting ability. I now have my entertainment for tonite..............and for the next few months.............holy cow......... I wasn't knocking your hunting abilities... just the lack of your integrity. If you write stuff like this about someone who has just died just for your entertainment... well I don't think I need to go on about what kind of person you are. How lonely a life you must have. By the way, I haven't been in junior high for a long time, what does ROFLMAO mean? I also knew Skylar Stock personally and second the comments made of his integrity and faith. Skylar's wife is doing very well considering and she has a ton of support. Thanks for all the prayers in their behalf. I also second that his membership be revoked. His comments don't deserve any further commenting. -Jared

My brothers and I killed these 3 bucks that were glassed up from the same point 100 yards from not only a road but the highway. The first 2 were killed in 2008 and the last one just this oct. Oh yeah, unit 22.

I am posting this for my dad and my brother. This is what my dad wrote about the hunt: Late season bulls filled our tags and freezers. My bull was shot right at 500 yards with 165 gr. Scirocco out of a Remington 300 Ultra mag. Justin’s bull was right at 600 hundred yards with the same load and rifle. We didn’t go on this hunt with expectations of shooting trophy bulls. We had seen for two days a nice bull that would probably go around 320 or so. We put him to bed Thursday night but on Friday he was know where to be found. So the 5x6 showed up Fri. at 4:15pm and I decided to fill the tag. On Sat. morning the small bull showed up and Justin had decided Fri. night he would take what ever opportunity might come his way. The small bull walked through the saddle behind a cow and Justin proned out with a rock steady rest and good long distance shooting conditions (no wind) and dropped the bull with one shot at 600 yards. We had a great time!

On my dads bull it was a steep downhill shot and the bullet entered just in front of the shoulder blade and exited down through the heart on the far side, no bullet to recover as it was a pass through. On my brothers bull, the bullet went through the shoulder blade and broke the shoulder. they didn't think about looking for the bullet and didn't come across it while skinning the bull. Last year on the 2nd late 22N hunt, I shot a bull at 575 yards with the same bullet but out of my winchester model 70. I recovered both bullets from that bull, the had mushroomed perfectly and did a fantastic job on that bull. I also recovered the bullet from my coues this year at 450 yds. The buck was quartering almost all the way away and the bullet entered just in front of the hind quarter, all the way through the guts and far lung, broke the far shoulder and I found it just under the hide almost passing all the way through. Josh, thanks, it is a tough hunt with lots of hunters. I wasn't able to go with to help, but they said they only ran into one other guy where they were at. Congrats to your brother.

welcome to the site! san tan valley huh? I am at bella vista and gantzel but am not yet accustomed to calling it san tan valley instead of just queen creek.

Thanks for the replies so far guys. My brother hasn't had a chance to get on here yet and read the replies and if he tags out its his meat and his choice. I think the reason he is looking for someone to take the fresh meat is so he doesn't have to pay processing fees. With the way economy is now he is lucky to afford the hunt itself. I'll pm any of you when he lets me know what he wants to do. Thanks again guys. Jared

My brother asked me to post this and see if anyone has ideas. He has the first hunt in Unit 22N the rifle tag. He has a freezer full of meat still from deer, antelope and elk. He doesn't have anymore room if he kills a bull on his hunt. He wants to know if anybody knows the phone number to any of the non profit type organizations in the valley that accept game meat like the homeless shelters or what not. Or if there is anyone on here that would want the meat. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks

So to purchase an otc metro tag I just need to go to walmart or the like?

I shoot a 165 gr. swift scirroco, 98.2gr of reloader 25, 3550 fps everytime. I have also recovered several bullets from deer and elk I've killed. the bullet has been a perfect mushroom and 98% weight retention. I love them. All that being said, this is the load that my gun seems to like the most.

+1 I think doing it this way gives the skull a nice clean natural white look instead of blindingly bleach white. It is very easy to do.

Awesome post! Great story and pics. Congrats on a nice buck.

Awesome! thanks for sharing. For sure it is the best getting to hunt with our Fathers. I was just talking to mine today planning some backpacking scouting trips to get a head start on next year. Thanks again and congrats on some great bucks!

"After seeing the size of the hole it left in the poor little deer " The size of the hole will depend largely on the bullet used and not the caliber of the rifle. I shot my first coues at 217 yards with a .243 using a 90gr. nosler ballistic tip and the exit whole was bigger than my fist. My dad has shot a coues at 200 yds with a 7mm and a 130gr. ballistic tip resulting in a large exit hole. I have shot deer and elk now at 450 plus yards with a 300 ultra mag using a 165 gr. swift scirocco with no large exit wounds. However, just a week or so ago I shot a coues at 450 yds with the 300 ultra mag 165 gr scirocco and the entrance hole was massive (he was quarting away). Anyhow, ballistic tip, bonded core, or hollow point bullets are all going to do different damage and different distances wether from a .243 or a 7mm. I am not claiming to know a lot, just what I have observed in my experiences.
