    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,

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

     

    Wouldn't you know it. :o 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. :( ;)

    ps- I also have a female chocolate lab that just had 11 puppies, they are only 8 days old so won't be ready to go for a while...after they are placed my female will need a new home as well.

     

     

    Thanks guys, let me know.

    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.

    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.

    I will go ahead and write this one for every one here, hey muley man, why don't you go back to Wyoming... or did they kick you out too cause your an ignorant jerk? When the good lord wants to call someone home who are you to judge how he does it? I knew Skylar personally, and I guarantee you he had more integrity, smarts, and was more of a man than you could ever dream to be. Amanda, I move that we get rid of this guy from the website. I don't want to be associated with a guy like this. I am quite offended. And I don't get offended easily. This guy is scum and a sorry excuse for a hunter.

     

     

     

    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.

    In your opinion what's the best road hunting unit in the state? Not talking about shooting out of trucks road hunting. I'm talking about parking the truck and hiking no more than 100 yards or so to a good glassing location. Don't care about size just want the best chance to glass up the most bucks close to a road.

     

     

    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.

    Congrats to your dad and brother.

     

    Were they able to recover the 165 Sciroccos to see bullet performance considering shot placement?

     

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    You can do that bleaching product OR you can do something simpler by just buying some 3% peroxide in the brown bottles at the dollar store or grocery store. Once the skull is cleaned, just soak it overnight in the peroxide. It's much safer than bleach on a skull. Visit Taxidermy.net for more info on cleaning skulls. Great resource. One trick on the peroxide so you don't have to use so much is that once you empty a bottle, fill it with water and then place it in your soaking bucket to displace some peroxide so it covers your skull easier. Use as many bottles as you need so that your skull is completely covered but you don't have to use so much peroxide.

     

    You can use aluminum foil to protect the bases of the antlers so they don't fade during soaking.

    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.

    "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.
