Triple barreled double scoped heat seaking shotgun

Maybe they didnt raise the fees that much on antelope. They raised the elk fee a bunch. Special elk tag is $1300!!!

Is this HD?

Looks great! My wife just made the same last night with moose!!

Awesome buck! Those tight curlers hide their length well. I bet he outscores some of the tall bucks you scouted! Any antelope with a bow is a heck of an accomplishment let alone a buck like that!

Just make sure he buys a lifetime hunting license.

How was the hunting? You kill any elk?

My dad is in the air right now flying back from his elk hunt and tried to carry on his elk cape and I guess they confiscated it from him and threw it away. He didn't give me any notice other then a text so I tried calling down there. The lady at the desk knew what I was talking about but said TSA had it. So they transferred me up there, they said Allegiant air had it, so I called back down there and they don't answer now since its after business. If anyone is near there and would be willing to run up there I'll mail you a $50 check whether you can get the cape or not. If you do get it and run it to ups for me sometime and shop it up here ill give ya $200. Sorry this is disparate, this is a once in a lifetime elk and I guess I am disparate. Call me on me cell ASAP if you can help out. 701-527-5747. My names Ben

I know this thread is over 3 years old but I wanted to put up a picture of the mount in its (nearly) final resting place. This is the bull that my dad killed and BigBrowns rescued the cape from years ago! My taxidermist was backed up so it took two years to get back then it spent a year in my heated shop until I got a spot picked out to hang it. Anyhow it turned out awesome and puts all my bulls to shame. This was a 10.5yr old dinosaur of a bull and the mount would not have been the same without the original cape. Again I cant thank Adam enough for what he did to get that cape back!! The CWT community is pretty dang cool!!

I cant beliece this gun has lasted this long. If I werent in ND Id buy it just to shoot skunks from the tractor!!

Might be worth trying it anyhow. I drew unit 61 last year with 7 points in the random draw. Also with the huge tag fee increase you may find some guys will drop out of the special tag draw.

They dont shed completely like a deer or elk. If youve ever found a skull youll see the big bone projections sticking out of their head, they just start a new growth of tightly packed hair under there and that pushes the old sheath off, usually in late oct to November. So youll never see them without horns and some of the nicer bucks will look pretty good even after shedding but will grow significantly more horn as the year goes by.

You always have such cool stuff.

Are any of the 3-27 PF2s second focal plane?

Its rebranded Atkins. The guy who designed Atkins died from it so they needed a new name.

Put in for both as youll never reach bonus pass in antelope in AZ so you are wasting your money buying a bonus point. I put in for antelope in North Dakota, South Dakota, NM, NV, UT, MT and AZ. I will likely only draw a tag or two in my life in some of those states and will draw many in others. If I have enough points to draw one for sure then I put in for super hard tags in the others as I can plan on one hunt for sure. AZ has the biggest antelope in the world. Keep putting in for a quality hunt and someday youll get it. In the meantime shoot a bunch of bucks elsewhere so when you get the tag in AZ you can get a buck of a lifetime. You can shoot 70-78 antelope literally every year in multiple states for $200-500. An AZ tag is a gem and is a $10,000-$20000 tag if you were able to buy one. Dont waste your chance there on a marginal tag in one of the few marginal units.

If youre looking for good draw odds just go to Wyoming. Its a short drive and nearly if not certainly guaranteed tags. Save your AZ points and shoot a giant someday.

That was the most ridiculous video I have ever watched. I am now dumber for watching it.

+1. I shot an elk through the spine of the shoulder blade and it went clear through and stopped at the fletching.

Its physically impossible for a rage not to open. Even if it did a well placed rage with the blades welded shut will kill a deer in seconds. I work in customer service as well and sometimes its easier just to offer a refund and avoid an argument and bad PR.

I really like the 17 hornet just because I have a hard on for hornets for some reason (my first centerfire as a kid was a 77/22 hornet). That being said the WSM is close ballistically and being a rimfire it is cheaper to buy ammo for by far so if I had to pick one it would be that one. I love the HMR and Mach 2 but they really arent any cheaper ammo wise then the WSM and they dont have the knock down power the WSM does. Theyre my favorite for little striped gophers and black bird patrol though.

I have a 77/17 in 17 Mach m2, 17 HMR, 17 WSM, and 17 hornet. Its like a golf bag when Im shooting gophers, wedge, iron, wood or driver! Love those guns and they quit making them so they are getting pretty valuable.

Didnt you score that sweet model 43 a year or so back?

^ cool story but they cant write you a ticket for not having a license if you have one. They can only write you for failure to have it on you. Non criminal so its like a parking ticket. Pay it an move on.

So what exactly do you think a poacher is? Do they wear all black and a ski mask and poke around with a sign saying I willfully intend to break game laws? A poacher is anyone who breaks the law. Shooting two turkeys with one tag is poaching. I applaud you for turning yourself in but also believe that this was self induced by trying a little to hard to get two birds out of one flock. You fd up and hopefully learned from it. IF you actually get charged with a felony I would be in your court fighting, but you wont and you werent so Im not gonna worry about that end of the argument.
