I'd also take into consideration what you've already told him. If you said no grades no hunting but then back down, you might have a hard time getting him to take you seriously next time.

Tough call! It would be terrible to waste a tag, but him missing out on this might be the one thing that makes him realize you are serious. I'd stick with your grades stand and if he doesn't make the grade, donate the tags.

Pretty awesome! I love to see other states producing quality bulls. Hopefully it will keep them hunting at home.

I've heard stories where the state took the bull but the hunter was later able to buy it back at some sort of sale/auction.

Mesa store.

Nicely done and great story!

Of the two I'd go 7mm mag. I like the ballistics a lot better.

The noise is actually a lot better/quiter than I had expected. I wouldn't recommend a lot of shooting without earplugs, but I fired it a couple of times without earplugs to see if it was going to bother my wife or son in hunting situations. I've shot a lot of other big caliber rifles without brakes that were worse. That my fairly skinny 9 year old will shoot it over and over without fearing the recoil makes it worth it.

Here is a picture of the brake I had put on the Tikka t3 7-08 I mentioned above. After seeing brakes put on several barrels by a number of different gunsmiths, I've come to the opinion that my guy does the cleanest brakes in the business. I've actually had several guys try to argue with me that this isn't a brake added to the end of the barrel, but holes drilled into the barrel itself. I'd have a hard time arguing with them had I not watched the brake go on the barrel. It has made this gun super easy for my 9 year old son to fire.

I picked up a tikka t3 lite in 7mm-08 for my wife and son. Haven't had a chance to hunt with it yet, but so far so good. The rifle is super light so I put a brake on it to lighten the recoil for them. One of my hunting buddies bought a tikka t3 light stainless in 7mm mag. With the load we have worked up, it is shooting awesome groupings. 100 yards, 3 rounds

Who cares......?!+1 wait till the latest story comes out. Its very good.Why? Did the hunter actually have to get out of his truck to shoot this time?

I've used Hoppe's 9 for years followed up by Hoppe's lubricating oil for my general gun cleaning purposes. Recently I have started using Breakfree CLP more and more. I also recently had M-Pro 7 recommended to me over Hoppe's 9, followed up by Slip 2000 oil. Is getting into the expensive cleaners and oils overkill? I was curious to see what some of you guys who know much more than me think and like to use. Thanks

That is awesome! Congratulation!

Hey twowindy, I know a great taxidermist if you need one.

I ordered a bunch on backorder a few months ago. I was just notified that that part of my order is in. I still have h335 on back order, but if it doesn't come in the next week or so I am going to have them go ahead and ship the rest. If you can wait a week or two I should have several extra 1 pound canisters that I'll let go.

Help us out and spend the time you would shooting more than one deer by hunting and killing our lions and coyotes!

My buddy has the same rifle and shoots outstanding groups with 4831sc at 62 grains. Bullet (Barnes ttsx 150 grain) seated to mag length. Here is a picture of his 3 shot group at 100 yards:

Nice job Will and Cody! Is this the one Cody mentioned you might have to backpack it in for?

As someone who has put in for that hunt for several consecutive years but has not drawn, please do not waste the tag, I might cry. It is a great unit and you could have a great hunt.

Sweet bulls and amazing job by all. Congratulations!

Graham's ridiculously conservative play calling in the first half didn't help. Seemed like he was continuing with the same plan ASU used on ther final possession last week.

https://apps.supremecourt.az.gov/PublicAccess/caselookup.aspx Hmmmm.... this definitely adds a new perspective.

I was told a couple ears ago by someone at game and fish that you could tag the animal; however you can't have a weapon. The Steve Chappell shot and lost a bull that was later recovered by game and fish and he had to by it back at the auction. I honestly don't think game and fish knows what's the right thing to do is. "I honestly don't think game and fish knows what's the right thing to do is." Shocking!

Pretty cool! I hope we get some more pictures!

Wow, that is awesome! Congratulations!
