verdehunter

Was able to recently find my daughter a 7mm-08 youth gun to get her started hunting. I have two boxes of ammo, but would like to find more. Anybody have any they'd like to sell at a reasonable price? Verde Valley/N. Arizona preferred. Thanks.

It took me two months to find a Tikka T3 compact in 7mm-08, and it was random dumb luck of being in the right place at the right time. That caliber is hard to find right now across all makes in a compact/youth model. The ones I did see available frequently were the Savage Axis and some Remingtons. Ammo is even harder to find.

It was Dylans buck from the early 2000’s, scored 95. It was killed on the west side, before the railroad tracks.

I drew my second choice unit 9 goat tag. I've hunted elk up there many times, deer a few times, and antelope years ago when my buddy shot what became the world record in the early 2000's. My question isn't about where to go, rather, what others have seen for quality of goats up there the past several years? I'll be up there after turkey season, all summer to see what I can find, just wondering what others have seen.

I was going to make a similar post regarding the unit I drew, but you beat me to it for your unit!! I'll do it anyways, but don't think I'm just a copy cat!!

Turns out it's my tag, second choice unit 9, 26 points.

I recieved a call back in September that I was next in line for a rifle tag in 9. I turned it down since it was only 2 weeks before the hunt. Got hit with an antelope charge today, 26 points. Slim to none chance it could be for my daughter though, she has 0 points.

I got the call for that tag yesterday from whoever surrendered it. I declined it today. I have 26 points and can’t do the tag the justice I want. I’ve heard nothing but negative for antelope this year and the lack of water, including in 9. Hopefully you find what you’re after!!

Nice bucks. You got those in 8 right? I'm assuming by the pic of the two on the ground you got them up top? My wife got a real nice 3x3 on opening morning down low in the cedars. Not sure how to post pics here or I'd put one up.

I'm not sure what the hospitals charge to give the anti-venom shots, but I can get a dose for $500 from my wife at work. She's a vet and that is their cost on it. I'm sure hospitals charge 10x that much. I've thought about getting some to carry, but I don't run into snakes very often. Of course, now that I say that, I'll probably see one next weekend!!!

My wife and father in law has that muley tag. Went out yesterday evening in the cedars near Drake. Glassed up 5 real good bucks a long ways off. They will be hard to get to but hopefully they'll be there. It is our first time hunting that unit as well. From what I've heard there will be a lot of people in the lower areas, but mostly driving around. I guess we'll see what happens.

I don't think a honey hole exists in 6B. My wife has had that tag 3 out of 5 years. You may want to consider the lower country between Sedona and Cottonwood. It is easy to glass.

Ammo is hard to find and very expensive. A local gun shop where I live can order it but it takes a little time to get it.

Wish I had the cash. I'd buy it.

Pretty sure G&F cannot and will not enforce these road rules.
