Those coyotes are no joke, I always down them if the opportunity arises. Great buck, and good job helping your buddy!

My 13 year old was lucky enough to get a Antelope Tag in unit 1 this year. I headed up Tuesday without my boy before the hunt to check the rifles at the range and then continuing up to unit 1. I ran into some issues with 2 of the 3 rifles I brought up. On Tuesday evening I found 4 bucks, 1 really nice shooter that I could see pushing 80" plus. These dang things are so hard to judge though, so I could be off. Always remembering what a old timer told me to use the eye ball and the ear to help feild judge them. This buck had good hookers and was definitely a double eared buck. He had about 19 does with him so I knew he had to be king. Wednesday I woke up early and headed out to another spot and spent the morning trying to locate a buck I seen in April. I did not find that buck, but finally turned one up This would be #2 buck and thinking he would push close to 80". He had about 5 does with him and the area had alot more cover for my boy for a stalk. This Wednesday I had located 23 bucks all over the unit. Out of the 23 bucks there was a bachelor herd of about 13 bucks all together. This bachlor herd was in a different area than the other bucks with does. I ran into another hunter that was trying to find a shooter. He had seen lots of bucks but he was wanting something bigger than what he had been seeing. This guy was a super good guy and was willing to show me some areas to help my boy tag out. In turn I let him know I found a decent shooter and could show him the area where this #1 buck was. We had about a 2 hours or so left of light so we headed over there and I ended up locating the buck just before dark. Thursday morning I headed home to pick up my boy after his game. We got back up the area around midnight. With what felt like a few hours of sleep we woke up and headed out Friday morning to #2 buck. With no luck locating him we moved to another area and turned up a heard with a good shooter, super thick but not really tall. We started the pursuit and bumped them over a hill about 500 yards away. We headed up were we last saw them and decided to sit and call with a antelope fawn call to see if the does would come in as I have had success with this before. In turn we called in a coyote at 389 yards. It was at that time to get some more confidence in my boys shooting. We dailed the rifle in and I told the boy to go ahead and let him have it. He shot and dropped the coyote in his tracks. As we went over to check on the shot placement of the coyote we glassed up the heard of Antelope down the hill from us about 1000 yards away. We moved closer and watched the buck from about 800 yards away chasining the does all over the flats. We decided to move in closer for the shot. As we worked our way down we got busted and the herd took off about another 1000 yards off. Again the buck was going crazy chasing the does all over as they settled in thier new spot. We backed out decided to head back to see if there was another angle we could approach them. On the way back we ran into a prairie rattler. We took some pics and let it be. Well the rain came down pretty hard on our hike out so we decided to head back and dry out. So we decided try that herd later on in the evening. After a few hours of getting back rested, we decided to hit that #2 buck spot again. It took a bit to find him but the does gave him away. At 350 yards away the herd was content feeding. We set up for the shot and then a doe started feeding just to the left and another right behind him. I told my boy to hold off on the shot. What seemed like forever the does walked away leaving the buck wide open. I gave the ok to shoot and he let off a shot. The buck and does all ran about 30 yards. The buck stopped while the does kept going another 50 yards stopping wondering why the buck wasn't catching up. It was at that moment he tipped over with high 5's and hugs. What a shot!!!! So proud of this kid!!! Also earlier that afternoon I recieved a text message from the other hunter that was going to after that #1 buck. He was able to locate the buck and was able to get on him. It was a awesome text message with epic picture of the downed buck. He thanked me for helping him finding a good buck. It was well deserved for sure. Rough taped my boys buck at 76". Stud and very pleased with my boys hunt.

Thanks Hawk! The 3rd was actually a back up for my sis-inlaw elk hunt. Just got lucky and took it with me. One of the rifles ejector got stuck, and the other one i thought the scope tracking was off, but figured it out. Thanks Eli, I believe i went to one of your seminars long ago. I still have notes from it.

Thanks guys for the comments. It was a epic hunt for my boy and I!

Wow, what a great buck! Those hooks coming in are saweet!

Awesome buck!!! Nice job.

Anyone want to part with thiers? I see them going for about $150-$200 used. Figure it would check here before buying one. Thanks

Mentally bro, need the support. I get it, but are you talking like backwood like 27, or Strip? Might be good on the rim (no punt intended) but in way remote areas I know of 2 friends that it would not work. But both on Iphones, different models. Both have bought the inreach with no issues. Seems like the mini is 100% solid. Less gear the better so if the iphone was good I see your point. Also good to hear thats its working. But also the mini is so small it's great imo.

Dang, thats a steal. I just bought the one off MM or I would have. Thanks

It does come with a payment plan option SMH. Honestly I just have the inreach incase I break down. Yeah man I heard it works sometimes, but not all the time on the iphone. I sold my mini a while back. Now I just bought one to replace it.

Shout out to coues247, members going the extra mile. I owe you a beer or rootbeer!!! As far as the satellite text from your phone especially the iPhone dont work all the time. I have a buddy that has a horror story. The mini inreach is solid, I've used it in the past.

Price cut to $700

Sounds like just in time to, as it was reported somewhere he was unconscious when they found him. What a blessing for those archery hunters for finding his side by side and reporting it to authorities. It was said he was found about a mile from his SxS.

Looks like they found him and was flown to Flagstaff hospital. Do not know the details.

Up with more stuff and new prices.

Ill give you $250

Yes

They should, but unfortunately we are at the mercery of AZGF, I've seen them update it on the last day,,, Wednesday evening.

To the harvest reporting, sometimes Game and Fish won't update until Wednesday. They may have been reported.

Load develop is everything, if it dont shoot good, that $3,400 gun is a paper weight. $200 more is cheap for load development. I would spend the extra $200 myself. I have more than that into each rifle loading myself figuring out loads, not counting my time.

Thank you! Picked up. He'll put them to good use. His buddy and him have been going quite a bit. I gotta get back up to Lyman, that was a blast

Ill take them for my boy if they are still available, he's getting into baitcasting reels.
