He knew how to spell valedictorian correctly, but failed physics. Probably from Gilbert.

I have a couple of his books that he signed from the 1980's. His articles were the highlight of Bowhunter magazine for a couple decades. I still have one of his nylon framed three piece packs. Carried out quite a few bucks with it. Sad to hear of his passing.

Beautiful heavy antlered buck! Nice pictures also.

One and the same.

How much does load development cost as that is included in the price of a Western Precision rifle? Guaranteed 1/4 MOA before it leaves the shop? I don't own a WPR but I know a lot of guys who do and they generally only sell them to buy another one.

Thanks for the great write up and pictures. Fantastic that you are helping others and the excitement sure shows in their smiles. Just a great performance all around.

I bought a single axle for my side by side from D and S trailers in Mesa. They build them with whatever options you choose. 14 foot single axle. I had a double axle but hooking it up to the back of my fifth wheel was difficult. This single axle I just lift up the tongue and drag it to where I need it. Paint is a little thin but the overall quality is good. Tool box, really good numerous tie downs, spare tire carrier.

Coach is selling a lefty compatible option.

120 grain Sierra Pro Hunter and whatever the same bullet was called 40 years ago out of a 6.5x55 on Coues, mule deer and antelope. Accounted for at least a combined 50 kills. Sometimes perfect mushrooms, sometimes fragmented, from 50 to 400 yards. But always seemed to kill very well. 115 grain NBT out of a .257 Roberts out to 390 yards has been a great killer on Coues for my wife. They swell up like a ballon on impact and go nowhere. The recovered bullets have actually mushroomed nicely. I would have to say the recovery distance on average has been much less than similar hits with NBT's, SST's and Bergers out of my 7mm Rem. Mag. 162 grain SST on Elk out of a 7mm Remington magnum. Two one shot kills at over 430 yards. Less than stellar hits on both but the bullets penetrated and performed flawlessly.

Not really buying into this statement. My wife's family ranches in upper Eagle Creek unit 27. My mother in law was born on the ranch almost 80 years ago. At that time most of the neighboring ranches were small leases and over the years were purchased to create one fairly large ranch. 400 acres of deeded, around 12,000 acres leased. Over the years we were able to get a few grants and donations from various wildlife groups to help establish better water on the ranch. At this time their are around 26 troughs that hold water due to a very elaborate and costly solar pump and underground water line. The brunt of the expense was paid out of pocket, anything that is erected or established on Federal land becomes Federal property if the lease is revoked. We have a small fortune at risk. Like I said, some of this work was paid for through grants and wildlife groups but the AZGFD was the smallest contributor. No contributed money is used on the private portion which only makes sense. During last years drought because of the extensive work we had the only permanent water for miles and the wildlife prospers. If it wasn't for the daily maintenance this water would not exist. Get rid of the rancher and who is going to maintain all of those troughs and catchments? NOBODY NOBODY NOBODY PERIOD. All hunters will suffer the consequences. I posted pics titled " The power of water ". These pics were taken on un posted private land, the wildlife on the lease was amazing during this same period. I fully agree with the interviewee stating that hunters have gotten more respectful as of late. Vandals with firearms can nearly bankrupt an operation overnight. As a hunter myself I also suffer from five acres of private locking out forest access. I hate it. But because of all the enviro morons the AZGFD can't just push a new road around the outskirts. What is REALLY BS is the private land owner selling access to outfitters through their locked gates to forest service. Running all the ranchers out is a death sentence for hunting.

I live in Safford, can pick up tonite. Whats your best price?

I think your talking about Datil New Mexico

$60.000 reward to re-coup $7500.00 in fines. I have always said that nobody has that good of friends. Over 40 shot and this is the first conviction. Be interesting if the snitch gets a payout.

I was intrigued by the Kimber ascent until I handled one for a few minutes. Personally it felt plasticy and toyish. Ended up opting for a slightly heavier rifle, a Fierce Fury and taking a pounds worth of unnecessary gear out of my pack.

I own several two stroke products made by Echo. Weed eater, blower and a chainsaw. Mix my own gas, they sit for months sometimes but always start. My chainsaw is 13 years old as is the blower. I don't cut a lot of wood probably 2 - 3 cords per year and I really can't complain about the saw. I have replaced a couple bars, and the clutch and spring assembly. It hasn't been started in months but I know right now in a half dozen pulls it would be revving.

Great looking buck .... and rifle.

Beautiful rifle!

Suzy my wife, and my daughter Sarah drew unit 1 antelope tags this year. We chose to camp about an hour away from where we planned on hunting to be amongst bugling bulls and much cooler temps. They were able to tag out the first weekend which left us with a week to enjoy camp and the mountains.

Bought my first shotgun from JC Penney in Safford in 1975. Ithaca 12 gauge side by side. Still have it.

We raised chocolate labs for quite a few years. Had two females and bred them once a year each. They were family dogs and we took good care of them, but you can get two litters a year if you wanted to. They were AKC with all the bells and whistles and people came from as far as Salt Lake to buy one. That was quite a few years ago and we always sold out. People who didn't have cash I was always willing to take a Home Depot gift card. My full time schedule is four ten hour days and I have had an automation consulting gig on my days off for 12 years now. One contract with the local municipality. Started building control panels in my living room and it's grown into a large control system. 35 ethernet radios and RTU several PLC's and SCADA nodes. Bought and flipped two homes in the past and made out OK doing all the work myself. My advice is learn to live on what you make and go hunting and have fun while you can. Can't follow your dreams when your body's shot.

Trees burn and you can't see anything if you build in the middle of them. Pine needles add up to a lot of work at times. wanted a view and actually thats about a hundred trees. mature ones.

Right here! Building on the blue dot. The names have changed as of yesterday.

That's one of the good ones.

That's a good buy for somebody out there. Versatile, solid setup.
