If that's the same Lone Hill we hunted last year on the back side of Reddington, that area was covered with hunters and only saw does and a spike. I'd recommend getting further into the canyons and away from roads. There are some good areas near there and good camping areas too.

Nice buck and definitely a nice shot at that distance with 30-06! Congrats!

Performance of solid copper ammo or lack of
bigorange replied to apache12's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Just an update here...killed my mulie at 290 yds with the 130gr TTSX. Through and through double lung shot. .270 entrance wound and half-dollar exit wound. Lung looked like a 4-blade broadhead went through it thanks to the "petal" expansion. Very pleased. -
First deer for a great friend...

Bumping this one up for the memories...Daniel and I will be on this same ridge tomorrow morning looking for his second coues buck. -
Awesome first hunt and first buck...agree with the sentiment of teaching him proper ethics in that situation. We could all learn from that.
-
Nice post of the facts and great explanation. I didn't even see the other thread until after your son had removed his original post, but definitely didn't like the way it went down.

Awesome bucks...congrats! I score him as SHOOT!

bigorange replied to billrquimby's topic in The Campfire
I actually have issues with my PC (actually I think it's internet explorer causin the issue) and have to use my wife's Mac if I want to post without problems. -
Saw a text that David killed a buck and was still working on getting his dad a buck. That was Wed I think.

REDUCED Brand New Badlands 2200 W/water bladder

Location? After this hunt, I was jealous of my buddy's 2200 and wanting to upgrade my Superday... -
My first archery stalk in AZ...in 36a in August a couple years back. Spotted a nice buck and my buddy and I dropped down into the wash to make our move. We both froze at one point because we heard voices nearby in the thick stuff near the wash. Not knowing what we would find and having 2 bows and a .45 between us, we backed out and went around the long way. Never saw anyone or the buck. Last yr during HAM hunt in 35b we spotted a group of illegals. No big packs or weapons, just water jugs so we assume not smugglers. Impressive how fast they covered ground and climbed some really steep stuff, especially once a BP truck entered the area. Our kids were with us, so it was a good educational opportunity for them.

SOLO Wyoming Antelope hunt "long story, picture heavy"
bigorange replied to Big Browns's topic in Antelope Hunting
Man what a story! Glad you got it done Adam. Congrats! -
one more bump before I shift these over to Craigslist...good truck tires if you don't need offroad tires.
-
Set of 4 Kelly Safari ATR 265/70/17 with maybe 20k miles. Plenty of tread left and overall good shape. One tire has a chunk of tread missing, see pic for detail. In Tucson, but may be in Phoenix twice over the next 2 weeks. $250 or might work a trade for .22 pistol if you have one. One tire with minor tread chunking.
-
Good luck...you're in good hands with that crew. I'll be up there DIY.
-
Nice read...enjoyed the Desert Mulies post too. One of my buddies hunted the Eagletails last year and I think he saw as many bucks as you.

No joke on the prices of new camo for kids...I've resorted to having my parents keep an eye on the local Wal-Mart in TN and pick up stuff for my kids when it goes on sale. Much cheaper even when not on sale. My daughter is wearing my son's hand-me-down camo right now so none to offer yet...
