any new news on this one?

congrats on a nice buck

it's teeth are showing, has white crust around it's nose, nose and lips are pushed back against the ground. i am pretty positive it is not a mount

looks like a decent bear. 200 lbs or so is my guess. i'm leaning very heavily towards sow.long, pointy nose, no shoulder hump, not real muscular front end. looks like it has a great coat though

high end, high HP grinders will power through about anything, and most of the sinew you miss will get caught in the grinder head. some big, old, tough animals need to be ground a couple of times. for most animals, we usually run it through coarse, then run it through fine. i have never ground up a javelina. I have cooked them and had to throw away pots, pans etc. because the javelina smell would not come out of them. i have been afraid that the smell would stick to the grinder

I heard that AZGFD.gov, under the hunt unit description, is a great resource for pointing people in the right direction. If i were new to hunting, this would probably be my first place to look. I have also heard that there are unit maps on the website that show what part of the state the units are in?

Have what i have affectionately named a "Ranger Rally" up and down the main roads.

270 is more than enough for cow elk. would not hesitate shooting any big game in arizona with a 130grn 270 bullet, even through the shoulder. keep your shot within your comfort zone and have fun. i recently switched from a long range custom rifle back to a featherweight 270, because i got tired of packing that heavy rifle. now i have a $3500 paper weight that sits in the safe. shot a muley last year that wasn't much smaller than a cow elk at about 300 yards. did not know what hit him. i am comfortable out to about 600 yards with it, and would not hesitate shooting anything

longrangehunting.com should have plenty of info on that subject

He must have died. only logical explanation

that's a good lookin' buck, Shane. congrats

good job Kevin. i was wondering if you had any luck. headed ot 27 this weekend for 2 youth tags. should be a blast

am i missing the cat? nevermind i see it now. sucker blends in

soak them in water for a week or two before you boil them. cuts boiling waaaaay down. dont have to scrape and scrub near as much meat off. gets pretty smelly, but i would rather deal with stink than 10 hours of boiling.

so, will you take $400 or not?

the long hollow closure is going to change a LOT of people's plans

Amanda needs to delete that account

....do tell

looking at it again, i am leaning towards bobcat. looks like it has more pronounced facial markings than a lion? either way though, definitely a feline. i hate it when cameras don't get that follow up picture that they are supposed to

are they some sort of trap possibly?

the top pic below the bucket looks like some kind of bread? if that is the case, it would be a dead giveaway. the bucket and wire though looks more like something someone would use for some type of vegetation study? maybe?

that's a lion

crazy 2 point gene in there. need to thin some of those suckers out!

Quality elk units are a thing of the past? do you live in the same state as us? although i do not agree with the way things are being managed, there have been more huge bulls killed the last couple years than ever before. it all starts with people not shooting young, immature bulls. let them grow and get old. if you just want to hunt elk put in for cow hunts. to me there is no difference in shooting a raghorn or a cow.

I'll go ahead and pull it out
