I'll be going solo, was hoping my son would tag a long. I'll be somewhere in the northern part of 22, chasing squirrels too. Good Luck to everyone else out there.

So is that a CJ3? Do you know what gears it has?

Looking for a Remington 770 in 243 for a youth hunter

Good job making it fun. -
That's great, he is really coming along as a hunter. Probably because he has such a good role model.

Got to camp and set it up just before dark. It was eerily quiet all. No Elk or Yotes. I left camp at sunrise and hunted my way north for half a mile to a tank and sat it until about 1 o'clock. Only saw a elk and her calf, one note and lots of woodpeckers and a few squirrels so I walked back to camp to get my 22 and drove back. As I was getting the 22 loaded and husband and wife were walking up and we talked for a bit. She had a tag so they were going to go up and sit the trick tank. I told them I had not seen any turkeys, or tracks all morning and wished them luck. Well all the squirrels I had seen earlier were nowhere to be found so I went back to camp and decided to drive a few miles to another area. When I got back out onto Houston Mesa Rd I had only gone about a 1/4 mile and came up on four hens in the road. I stopped and grabbed the shotgun and a shell and ran into the forest and took a shot but missed. Back up and to the truck to get another shell and I notice the last hen still on the other side of the road getting to make a beeline across it to catch up with the others. Knowing where she was headed I ignored her and ran into the woods to intercept her, meanwhile my truck is idling on the side of the road with the doors open. I managed to get off a shot that put her down as lady luck would have it. Sure had my adrenalin going. I got back to camp and took a few pictures and the couple from earlier came by and she got to see her first turkey up close. After I plucked and cleaned it a young couple from Pine drove by and saw me put it in the cooler and stopped to chat. I got up early and broke camp and headed out at 7:30 and met another husband and wife who were walking in and stopped to talk and tell them what I knew about the area then headed out. It was refreshing to see three married couples who hunted together as that was something I could never get my wife to do. Two of the couples the wife was the one with the tag and all were genuinely nice people. That's my old Mossberg 500 I hand painted back in about 1985.

24B suggestions for Oct rifle hunt
PRDATR replied to curtimus's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Is that an Any Antlerd tag? -
Good Luck. It has been a few years since I was in 33 but just might be my fav unit for deer. I was getting rambunctious on my way home from work seeing everyone headed out.

Felt like I was there right along with you. Big Congrats. Neither of my brothers hunt so it was very special when my brother from NY came out for a few days and went camping and turkey hunting with me in 27. Be was the one who heard a gobble that I set up on and called him in and took him with my brother beside me. It was great.

Fantastic pics, thanks for sharing.

I will be passing through Payson on Friday on my way to go turkey hunting from Mesa and can bring it back to the valley for the buyer if need be.
-
I live in Mesa and have a construction/remodel going on at KRMC and will be up there either the end of next week or the week after so I can pick it up and bring it back to the valley.

You all worked your tails off for that one. Great job. Did you recover the bullet?
-
Very nice, congrats. I love seeing all the pictures from Wyoming.
-
Happy Birthday Bill and thanks for sharing your wisdom and stories with us.
-
Which ones? The bull or the ones with you and the midget? B4555059-B66D-477E-84AC-1FF42698420D.jpeg She's outta your league.

Well that's not funny, congrats though.

I have hunted that area and only saw one Coues. Not saying the're not in there but if you do decide to go buy a lion tag.

Check Pawn shops and ask Healys to keep an eye out. My nephew lucked into one for 6 Bills back in NY that wasn't shot much.

So if the action is pillar beaded why do anything more?
-
Is that compound used for bedding the action?

If it's the road I'm thinking of you won't be able to get a trailer up it.
