    Unit 13B Archery Mule Deer

    Thank you everyone! For those interested he tapped at 210" with 48 and 6/8th inches of mass and 11 inches in extras.
  2. I was lucky enough to shoot this old boy on the second week of the hunt. My dad and I both drew tags and spent 7 days going after big strip bucks. After sitting water the first day with nothing coming in and me going nuts in the blind we opted for a more entertaining option of driving and glassing. I'm a little guilty of not realizing how the strip really is. I imagined it as being like Kaibab and expected to see 200 inch bucks all over the place. There were a couple times I had to fight the urge to shoot a smaller deer because we weren't seeing that many and am sure glad I didn't. Thankfully I had the encouragement of my good buddy Bryan (Camofreak) to stick it out and I'm glad I listened. I shot this buck at last light and rather rushed as he was getting ready to boogie. He was with a small forked horn and was bedded ( I didn't know my deer was there), I knocked an arrow and started to position myself for a shot in case the young forked horn had a friend with him, well sure enough this guy stood up and started to get on out of dodge, I drew back without the time range as I could tell the forked horn was only a couple seconds from blowing the whistle and taking big boy with him. I shot him at 43 yards and am now completely ruined on mule deer hunting. Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy the pictures. I'd also like to thank David Pereda of Arizona Strip Guides for all that he did in making my hunt successful. Randy and Matt I'd like to thank you guys too for adding to the experience.

    Hey United Airlines...

    They know exactly how many they have sold. They are counting on several people to not show up. This is part of their business model, all airlines do it. If they didn't, flights would be more expensive. Some airlines overbook much more than their rival carriers. Delta flew a quarter of a trillion passenger miles in 2015, ranking the company #2. But only had to bump 300 passengers all year. And when doing so, offered a far more generous compensation package that does United. When you book a flight get an assigned seat. Those without or bargain flyers are bumped first. When I flew them a couple of weeks ago I had my seat changed three times after I booked the flight. Same thing about 7 years ago going to Hawaii. That one was worse as we were moved from window seats, twice, to the first row in the middle and stared at the wall for five hours. Al least the flights were on time. The whole bumping passengers things is just horrible practice by United and all the other air lines.. I get it, the Dr. should have just swallowed his pride and accept the offer but United handled it horribly so they deserve what they get and good for the doctor for lawyering up. This is standard policy for all carriers not just United. It is a pain in the butt but that is the way it works. Airlines operate on very tight margins of profit, usually single digit margins of profitability. Flight crews are not to blame and we want to get everybody where they need to go but you have to keep in mind our options to do so are limited sometimes.

    Hey United Airlines...

    The funny thing is that United Airlines was not the party that drug him out, it was Airport security. We have strict protocols to involve airport security and the man is in violation of federal law by not listening to the gate agent or flight crew. When you go beyond the gate agent you are in a secured area and security measures aren't taken lightly. Overbooking is prominent with all airlines as there is usually quite a few people that don't show up for their fights.

    What bullet\round types are illegal to use in AZ

    no give it a month to recoup from the frenzie and it will be back to normal (hopefully) .270 and 22-250 shouldn't be that hard to get.

    Cabelas employee pricing

    Sam we (employees) wouldnt have gotten the discount either since it was already lower than our price.

    Cabelas employee pricing

    Employee pricing varies from 5 to 35 percent I believe. Cabelas branded items will be the cheapest. You get 20 percent off bargain cave items.

    Cabelas and Dick's did what????

    This is a complete rumor. Cabelas did not pull "assault weapons" off of the shelf. They just sold out. As far as Sportsmans supporting you, good luck getting much support from the inventory they can hold.
