MARV Report post Posted June 28, 2007 Note to readers: this story may or may not be featured in the next issue of Trophy Hunter Magazine... Well, it was a long, hard hunt (10 minutes long) but well worth it (not really)! The weather didn't cooperate & made stalking difficult, but I was able to sneak up on this bruiser & catch him in the draw he was hiding in (he ran across the road). I aimed & squeezed the trigger of my .22cal hand cannon & he tumbled right over... a good clean kill. I choose to use the .22cal for its managable recoil and quick handling. What a beautiful trophy! This is what happens when deer scouting gets slow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azcouesandelk Report post Posted June 28, 2007 You should be carrying something a little larger than a .22 at least a .44 if nota .500 for such large game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The elaborate recipie featured in the article will probably involve a crock pot... my default for all things wild. I'm gonna need a pile of 'em first though... which may take awhile. I may have to enlist some family members & friends to help gather "cotton". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I grew up rabbit hunting back in Ohio when I was growing up. We raised beagles and it was a tradition of ours to have a hunt among all the boys and men in the family before every Thanksgiving dinner while the girls cooked. Since moving to Arizona I haven't shot very many but they all delicious. You might not think there are many but they come in cycles. When they get over populated in an area they die off with ( I forgot the term) and then remultiply again like rabbits. Fact#1...there are many Fact#2...yes they are small and harmless Fact#3...they taste good I for one don't shoot anything I won't eat. I can understand your feelings quite well. They are cute but so is a deer and elk. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
