Red Rabbit

Photos of the burn area from the BAER team https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/photographs/6405/?fbclid=IwAR1ozkNyFqIbQJBUgvGhxUdiTEqwzor4bzfCMW5NI56aHc7BKVjO8-GYhAA

I spent last evening and this morning overlooking Mormon Lake. There is still plenty of water, which kept the herds of elk closer to camera range, but still a long way out even at 500mm. There were two large groups of elk and many groups of a few. I did expect to see more calves for the number of cows though.

Nice rifle and price.

It is either 12B late or 6A Oct WT. With only 2 BP, I was not expecting to be drawn

Is that the Weatherby Uber Improved double radius ????

I have been using a FL die to just partially resize and bump the shoulder rather than fully FL resize. I have not have any feeding/chambering issues this way, but one should feed their ammo before a hunt to check for any problems. I have purchased factory ammo with the neck mouth bent back so obviously it would not chamber.

I'll take a pair of good upland brush pants to combat the catclaw. I think the camo pattern of the upper will be determined by the darkness/lightness of the vegetation if you are hunting close for archery or turkey.

Just a little late on closing the barn door. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/tonto/news-events/?cid=FSEPRD638469

I saw this posted on another site and took copious notes.

Late MD hunt for a long shot, and Oct WT for reality.

A lefty Tikka in 270 Win or 270 WSM would be a good consideration.

The 150-600mm has been sold. Only the 24-70 f/2.8 in great condition is available

I saw that a few months ago when reading reports, and was left scratching my head.

Thanks Tony. Rica left a good impression of the GWP breed.

They are starting out great!

Clover is 11 weeks old now. Housebreaking was quick. She's sleeping through most nights in her kennel without needing to be taken out. Working on "come" now, although butterflies are a solid distraction.

Tamron 28-75 has been sold. The 24-70 and 150-600 are still available

All of the pups have found new happy hunting homes.

My friends Mike and Darby Middleton in Chino Valley have two male German Wire-haired Pointer pups for sale. They were whelped March 22, so are 5 weeks old now. They will be good to rehome in another 3 weeks. Both dam and sire are AKC registered. Their dam is "Rizer' and comes from Central basin Kennels in Camp Verde. Eragon is the sire from Flagstaff and is dark colored. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Darby Middleton at DarbyMiddleton(at)gmail(dot)com or nine28four20441five. Darby is asking $750 for the males. "Drive" Pup #1 He is the smallest pup in the litter of 6 and has the best facial markings, imo.

Darby tells me that Drive is the last of the remaining pups. Drive will be 10 weeks old this weekend. He is the GWP pup in the first 5 photos in this thread.

As Casey noted, a scope is not included. Rifle is with bases and rings only.

On my U9 cow elk hunt last October, I saw more feral horses than elk. I hunted the southeast side.
