PM sent regarding the rifle

Only met him one time. I met him at his house to pick up some ammo I bought from him about a month ago. Kids toys and stuff were on the porch. My “good guy O-meter” went off when I was there. I will pray for his family that they find peace and comfort.

Where are you located?

Does the ammo come with it for the $550? thanks

Lost one north of Wupatki National Monument a few years ago

since 1979 (I think there was one year about 1982 I couldn't afford to apply): elk: 1986 rifle bull tag in 5BN 1993 rifle bull tag in 5BN 2000 archery bull tag in 10 2007 rifle bull tag in 9 2009 rifle bull tag in 9 2013 archery bull tag in 11M antelope: 2009 rifle antelope in 7

Now I know who got my tag. Good luck, David Sorry David. Living here in Flagstaff, I know the area well. I hope to do you proud.

11M archery bull September 13-26. 5 bonus points.

I can hit a volleyball sized target at 100 yards say 8/10 times if I don't shoot in rapid succession. I am told you can have work done on the gun and bring it down to a softball size with the same 8/10 shots. Fun gun to own, that is for sure.

I saw a dead cow elk on I-10 between Wilcox and Bowie. Couldn't believe it was an elk, so stpped to look at it and sure enough it was. That was back in 1993.

I have spent quite a bunch of time in 6A. Quite a bunch. Lots of elk in the unit. Haven't seen that many 350" bulls compared to the amount of bulls I have seen (meaning percentage wise, the percentage of 350" bulls compared to the number of bulls is low). It is not a trpohy managed hunt unit like there are in some other units in this State (say for instance Unit 10). I would hope for a 350" bull, but I would be realistic with my expectations. If the right opportunity presents itself with a bull you would you would be satisfied with, I would wouldn't hesitate to shoot. There is much much more to having a "successful" hunt than the score of the animal. On some of my most "successful" hunts, I didn't come home with a score at all because I didn't take an animal. It is all about the enjoyment and memories and not the score. Hunt the entire hunt hoping for a 350" bull but enjoy and savor your hunt. It may be years before you draw another tag. Just my opinion.

I am going to be hunting TROPHY QUAIL!!!! Woohooo.......

Used to live in Tucson back 15-20 years ago.and hunted 35B quite a bit. Shot a 97" coues in the canyons southeast of Harshaw. Mearns were fun to hunt too - ore to the east of Harshaw. Haven't been down there in 15 years. I heard the illegal immigrant problem has worsened. Looked at buying property in Duschene (sp?) - liked the area but was worried about vandalism being I couldn't live there and the illegal problem (I lived and worked in Tucson).

for budget numbers for $1000 bucks: $200 on a rifle scope (maybe look at Burris - decent quailty without spending big bucks) $100 on a tripod $400 on binos (maybe look at Nikon, Pentax, Burris or Minox - get around a 10 power) $300 on a spotting scope if you really think you need a spotting scope (I wouldn't - not for a cow hunt - you are not judging antlers or something) You'll spend 80% of your time looking through binoculars mounted on a tripod - spend your money there (again, maybe even spend the spotting scope budget on really good binos) Look at Ebay - lot of people selling their stuff because of the poor economy (I just bought a pair of Swarovki 7X42 SLC for $620 delivered) Just my 2 cents

354

I about pissed my pants - after almost 27 years of applying, I finally drew an antelope tag here in Unit 7. Maximum bonus points down the shi___er, but I finally made it!!! Going out scouting again tomorrow - already been out several times these last few weeks. I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight....... And to top it off, I drew a Unit 9 general season bull tag too - 3 points well wasted. I was blessed. Sorry some of you weren't drawn - been there, done that, and it sucks.

18B? 10?

I have seen whitetails does this same thing to other does. It was like they were playing tag or something. I didn't see anything disturbing them. And they did it for several minutes. Standing fairly still one moment, then chasing each other faster than heck seconds later. I am thinking it has been a long time since the last rut

A tripod for a 15X power is about a must.

I stay out all day.

Of the ones you list, I beleive Minox are the best. I have a pair of the 20X60 Pentax I no longer use if you are interested.

just got back from the north side of the Peaks - spotted 7 bulls in a bachelor group - no cows. Biggest bull was in the 360 range.

Used to use the Leupold that did all you mantioned. I now use a Swarovski. I can't imagine ever needing a better one even if they invent one.
