    Mexico 2020

    Had a great trip to Mexico and killed some great bucks. I should have killed this buck. I found him bedded in the shade tending a doe and had my brother shoot his biggest buck. I'm happy for him I made a great stalk on a cool buck and literally missed him 2 times at 20 yards. My plan was if I didn't find a good buck than I wanted to shoot one with my bow. Last morning I actually found a buck that I wanted. After a little rodeo and him soaking up 3 bullets he was done. Killed a good Tom as bonus One of my favorite things about Mexico

    Anyone use My Pillows or Toppers?

    I've never used the topper but I actually really like my pillow, but I also had to try a few to get the right one...

    Their foot is in the door!

    Its because you have a job, some of us are mostly unemployed right now. Personally I'll be fine for a few months but it really hurts some of my employees that are single parents etc.. I think it would surprise most people how much a small business owner actually thinks about and cares about his/her employees. They are our lifeblood and right now our hands are tied. Its tough to be told I can't go to work.

    Actually every day LEO decided whether to arrest, give a ticket or warning or downgrade penalties etc...

    Effects of the virus scare?

    I just finished a CE webinar and a few people project AZ will be by far the least effected. I sure hope that is right.
  7. Haha that is definitely not around Fool Hollow

    100” velvet Coues mount $250

    You most likely will not be able to get what it cost to mount it. Just the way it is. Cool buck, blasphemy ornaments.

    Yeah I wish doomsdayers would stop buying all of the masks. Pretty soon we wont be able to use TP either Idea stolen from my friend Ronnie thought it was quite funny.

    Elk Tomahawks!!!

    I did a beef tomahawk for my son last summer...man oh man. They are good.

    Elk Tomahawks!!!

    That is legit! looks great.
  12. yeah you did and then went back and edited it. Many people saw it myself included. But no worries. If you ever want to meet up and maybe talk about the unit give me a call. Houston
  13. I live between Pinedale and Clay Springs and so i live in the middle of the unit. Any Idea how much money I spent on gas alone last year scouting??? I'll give you a hint it was real close to $3500. Everything I know about the units which is less than some and quite a bit more than others has taken me 30+ years to accumulate. I stand by my advice. start driving the roads, learn the unit and talk to people. More than likely you will run into me at some point and I'll be happy to talk to you. I drive an 2010 Tundra that has dents, and dings and always has mud/dirt on it. It has been well used. Most of us will help if a person puts in a little effort, not just asking for handouts.
  14. Lol...3c in Sept will do absolutely nothing for you for the Nov hunts, unless you just want to hear and see elk. Bulls except yearlings will be far away. Better idea is since you live up here start driving learning the unit and meeting people. It can be a miserably difficult hunt most years. We dont usually know how it will be until 2 or 3 weeks before.

    Favorite Elk Bullet? Average shot distance in AZ?

    FWIW I talked with a guy last weekend that said he has almost exclusively used Berger bullets when they first came out. He was/is a rifle builder and guide in Mexico and elsewhere and stated that when the Berger bullet was "bought" or started to be produced by Lapua the quality decreased significantly, (IDK) they had to stop using them due to stories just like yours. I have all of my bullets from 2008 so that may be a reason that my results have been different. just more thoughts.

    Credit Card Hit

    What units did you put in for? I have 16 and didn't get drawn but I also knew that I wasn't going to get in the bonus pass and so my chances were almost nil I've only put in for archery the last 5 years but I've been picky which archery tag I want to draw, I know I could draw some of the units for sure.

    131gr Blackjack vs Game

    Pronghorn, deer and coyotes so far. I wouldn't hesitate to use them on elk at reasonable distances

    Teamwork and spotting/guiding a shooter in on a buck

    I hunt with a friend that is 82 and I use a radio every time he is spotting for me. Even then it is very tough. I rarely if ever carry radios, I sure wished I had radios in AK this year when my buddy saw a giant Kodiak brown bear sow and cub walking down the ridge from me. As it was it wasn't until they were 25-30 yards unarmed (well I did have a fixed broadhead lol) that I saw her and I about lost my bowels.

    Suppressor-Where to start

    I'm fairly new into it. I have one .22 can and I'm waiting for my "everything" can. At least for your first suppressor I would get one that you can use on multiple weapons, I wish I would have done it that way the first time. I'm right at 11 1/2 months right now. Contact me if you have any other questions.

    To Fragment, or not to Fragment..

    In order to cause as much damage as possible and kill quickly I like the idea of fragmenting, that being said I too hate looking for little pieces of fragmented bullets in my animals as I process them.
