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

ahhhhh... the ol' Arizona feral hog debate. this topic seems to come around about once a year. there are very few scattered around through AZ. i took one about 5 years ago, but was a guided type operation near Mammoth. i don't believe they offer hunts anymore. heard there are a few around camp verde, some on the strip, and maybe a few down south

I'm surprised you were able to stand the company of a Miller for long enough to get an elk. j/k. Chase is good people. congrats on the bull

i agree with this. it turns "me time" into "we time". it's good to get the girls out there, but i made this mistake once. you spend more time chasing arrows and trying to figure out why they can't shoot consistent groups than you spend trying to hone your own skills. maybe I'm selfish, but just my $.02

sweet pics bruh

the good ol' RCBS kit is pretty good as well to get you started. you can spend as little as about $500 to get started and work your way into the higher priced, nicer accessories that make reloading a little nicer. everyone likes to reload a certain way, then build upon how they like to reload and what brands they prefer. RCBS, Lyman, Lee and Hornady all make pretty good, reasonably priced kits that will get your foot in the door. one common misconception is people picking up reloading to save money. it will take a LOT of reloading before you actually save money. my rifle rounds still cost me over $2.00 a round to reload. i could buy a box of core lokt's for a little more than half that price. reload because you want better performing rounds and because it's something you enjoy doing, rather than trying to save money at it

People on here are not usually too excited to give away any advice as to where to hunt, especially when it is post number one. the montana mountain/rogers trough area gets POUNDED 365 days a year, whether by hunters or just people out riding around. check azgfd.com
