  4. Thanks for the suggestions. I am going to stick with the IMR4350. We've been shooting Nosler Ballistic Tips with it and have had some great results (sub-minute). I wanted to use a sturdier bullet for his elk hunt, so we are trying the Barnes. Thanks again!

    $50 Charge by Game and Fish

    Not sure where to post this, but my Credit Card was charged $50.00 by AZ G&F on the 22nd of this month. I can't figure out what I put myself or my son in that would result in a $50 charge. Any ideas? Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. I looked it up in the regs and I assumed the $63 dollar Jr. Elk tag was in addition to the $13 application fee.

    Noah's Javalina

    Last year my oldest boy Noah (12) drew his first javalina tag. We spent a few weekends scouting and found two large herds. Unfortunately, once the season started we never saw hide nor hair of a javalina.... This year the story reversed itself. Noah drew a rifle tag in Unit 33. We spent two weekends hiking and glassing areas where we had seen javalinas in years past. In the two weekends we never saw a javalina. Noah was pretty bummed out and wasn't very excited about his hunt. Saturday morning, we go up early and walked into a spot we didn't get to scout this year. We glassed for a couple of hours and found some nice whitetail bucks and a half-dozen does. We started walking further into the Rincon Mountains and found a broken tipped three-point shed. After several hours we decided that the next hill top would be the last one that we would glass from and then make our way back to the truck. As soon as we started glassing I found one javalina on a ridge about 1/2 a mile from us. We quickly packed our gear and walked to an area that put us about 220 yards from the javalina. Noah was shooting a Kimber Montana chambered in 300 WSM with a Leupold 4.5-14 x 40. He has spent a lot of time and my $ practicing with the rifle. Both he and i were confident that a 200 yard shot was reasonable. Once we set up at 220 yards we saw an additional two javalinas for a total of three. The javalinas were working there way down the ridge towards us. Due to all of the brush Noah was having a hard time finding the animals in his scope and getting set up before they would move. After a few minutes we lost sight of the three javalinas. We sat still for several minutes and I told Noah that i thought they had bedded down because we would have seen them in any direction they traveled had they done so. Noah and i very carefully began to stalk into the area where we had last seen them. Noah was on the crest of the ridge and i was about 15 yards to his left military cresting the ridge. As we closed in on the location where we had last seen the javalina, we could hear them huffing and snorting. In an instant the javalinas had caught our scent and began to scurry through the mesquite and ocotillo covered ridge top. The three javalinas we had seen earlier were part of a heard of about 10+. Noah stood still on the ridge and a javalina crossed the ridge line about ten yards in front of him, when it decided to stop. That's all Noah needed. One round from the 300WSM at ten yards clearly did the trick. Another great day in the field with my son!
  10. We jumped 11 tanks 4 of which had ducks. The good news was the four tanks had probably 50+ ducks all together.
  11. My son and i spent the day jumping ponds in southern AZ. Results- from left to right in the photo, female Northern Shoveler, female Mallard, two Male Ring necks. Not a bad way to spend a morning!
  12. For sale: Mossberg 510 youth 20 gauge shotgun. THe shotgun is four years old and has been used by both of my boys, but it looks like they have outgrown it. Gun is in good shape. Synthetic black stock with spacers. Barrel is a little over 18 inches. First $200 takes it. I am in Vail. Will post pictures soon.

    Noah's Buck

    My 12-year old Noah took his first buck this weekend. Noah shot his buck opening morning in unit 33. We were up long before sunrise and hiked to our glassing spot in the dark. As the sun came up we saw plenty of deer including a large three point that we tried to stalk. After many miles and no opportunities, we found this young spike on the side of a hill at three hundred yards. Noah had been practicing all summer with his rifle and is rock solid to 450 yds, so this was an easy decision for him. He took the shot at 300 yds and the deer went down in his tracks. Noah was shooting his Remington 700 youth chambered in 7mm-08 with his hand loaded 140 grain Sierra Game King bullets. The scope is a Burris 4.5-14.

    Camping Trip

    I want to take my boys (7,4) camping north of Snowbowl this weekend. We would like to be in the aspens / pines. I haven't been up their in years and was wondering if anyone could recommend a nice spot to camp. We will be "truck" camping so hiking in and out of a site won't work. Any directions you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
