it is a sako 243. Harvey used it as his go to gun for many years. When he was diagnosed with cancer he gave me the gun. I used it a year after he was gone to kill this deer. thank you Harvey. I will always keep him in mind when I use it.

Yes that rifle was given to me by a good friend just after he found out he had cancer. He passed 6 years ago. this was actually the first time I used it.

Yep and he tastes great. Had a little backstrap tonight.

Sorry been a little busy trying to get my house up for sale.

I haven't hunted in Arizona for 6 years. Working in Texas. My brother calls a couple of months ago. He tells me he has bought my license and put us in for a deer hunt. He wouldn't take no for an answer. So we got drawn for a Coues hunt at the end of November. I talk my boss into 2 weeks off and I drove out the day before the hunt. As you would expect the first few days were spent trying to stay away from other hunters. Then Sunday night all you heard were trucks driving out. Monday mourning we found our selves pretty much alone. My brother shot a spike Monday afternoon and I shot a nice 3X3 on Tuesday. Today we left camp. Always remember trust your brother!

Did the ownership of the Marly ranch change??

Thanks. I know the landowner and he has given permission to hunt his land. I have hunted there for about 20 years myself. After he caught me fixing fences and water leaks several times he gave me the combinations for the locks. So if he hasn't changed them I'm good. If he has I have his number.

My brother and I got drawn for the second hunt in 36A. Not sure where we will be camped. Most likely close to the Black Hills. It will be the first time in 5 years for me to hunt there. Been out of state for awhile. I'm sure things have changed a bit since then. Any suggestions or things I should be aware of? Not looking for honey holes. I know several. Just looking for changes that might effect my hunt. Thanks

I've been out of the state for a year and a half. I will be coming back to hunt from Dec26 to Dec31. I have heard there has been a lot of tags issued the last 2 years. How bad has it hurt the unit?

I think the unit 56 tags are gone. North East part of NM. Call Michael Anthony 214-356-8751 for more info.

A good friend of mine has some tags for sale. I have hunted with him the last 5 years. These are private landowner tags. Self guided hunts. 3 tags in unit 56 $1000 each on 6000 ranch 3 tags in units 41 and 59 $1500 each on 8000 ranch You can contact him at Michael Anthony 214-356-8751

Ok I wasn't sure if you were asking about the scope or the rifle. I believe it is control feed. Here is the picture hoghntr mentioned.

Not sure of what you are asking.
