Here are a few pictures of the call I am entering into the national call making contest this year. Just finished making it last week and feel it turned out great. It's a slate call in a Arizona Walnut pot with a Mesquite striker.

Just returned from my first Javelina Hunt... let me just say you guys that live in Arizona, I’m a little jealous everywhere I’ve been in your state has been really enjoyable... Anyhow back to the hunt, day one my first 20 minutes and I passed 2 pigs at 60yds... I didn’t want it to end that soon... well little did I know that could have been the wrong decision... Saturday morning comes around and we spot 3 more fighting and chasing each other up and down a hillside... well I miss them 3 times at ranges from 220-330yds... I wouldn’t see anything else until Monday morning... Monday we wake up to a little snow on the ground with high hopes for some good tracking... well the snow didn’t provide anything fresh as far as tracks go and the wind was terrible... I just about called it quits for the morning when I glasses up two Javies about 1500yds out... so off I went and got into 120yds and the rest is history... i had a great time as always...

Dick's sucked!!

With all the stuff going on I had to take my time and figure it out. 😊

3 month old post and you just decided that you don't like dicks?😄

I don't like dicks

As much as I love baseball how do you people find time in your lives to do this? 😀 I am very jealous of how much time you have!

Draysen (my son) and I spent every weekend and day off since January 1st chasing deer and javelina with our bows. We had more heartbreaking close calls than I want to think about, but never quite could close the deal. By the time the youth javelina hunt rolled around, we felt pretty dialed in on a few herds and just needed the piggies to cooperate. Kembria's first javelina hunt this past November was a new type of hunting "experience" for me, and tested my patience in ways I had not yet experienced. We had her lined up on so many pigs, so many times at close range, but it didn't work out. I took a lot away from that hunt about what my daughter needed from me to best help her, and about patience. We didn't make it out for the opener Friday morning, but were on road before 4:30AM Saturday morning. We got to the top of the mountain just as it was getting light and were treated to watch multiple groups of whitetail, including some solid bucks, as the sun rose. A little before 9:00 the herd of javelina showed up right about where I was expecting them. Kembria made a great shot from long distance. This particular area was not conducive to close shots. After hiking down to her pig, we took some pictures and I sent Draysen back up the mountain to another ridge to look for another herd. It was his turn, and I knew we would be a few hours field dressing and packing Kembria's pig out. The pack out was ridiculous! By the time Kembria and I got back to the truck with her javelina, it was around 2:00. We got her pig in the cooler and called Draysen to check on him. He had seen deer, but no javelina. So we came up with a new plan. It took him about 30 minutes to hike back to the truck. We jumped in and headed about 45 miles north to check on another herd. As we approached the area, Draysen jumped out with his rifle and pack to head up a ridge. Kembria and I headed about 1500 yards down the road to check out another ridge. We hiked up our ridge and proceeded to glass the area. The afternoon started to grow late and the sun was on the verge of dropping below the mountain. I then heard the gun shot and spun my binos back to the opposite ridge, about a mile away. I looked just in time to see my son holding his arms in the air victoriously. He had found a herd with his ears and had "woofed" them in. By the time he got a visual, this old boar, with teeth ground down to nubs, was at 36 yards for a quick shot. Kembria and I made our way to him, reaching him at the last bit of light. It was a great (and exhausting) day that didn't have us back to the truck with field dressed boar until a couple hours after dark. What a great day, but we are all three feeling the effects of it today! "The Crew" hadn't stopped all day to eat, so a late pit-stop at Taco Bell on the way home was definitely in order.

If this kid can cut the starting lineup I see multiple trips to Gunnison in the future! Excited to seem him chase a dream and have the opportunity to give it a try! Go Mountaineers!

Bear is downright hilarious. Love the shadow image on that hard horned buck.

Id love to but Its hard to justify the expense. 6 hour trip for a bird is like "meh". If i lived up there it would be a completely different story.

Hopefully he never liked dicks😆

Since I don’t have the rifle or pics. Just contact him directly by text. JS Arms. Jim Sparks 520 904-7175

I'm really sorry about your dad man, lost mine a few years ago. My post wasn't meant to be taken too seriously, I just like to joke around a lot. Go take that stuff and take your family for a weekend outing. Time in the woods is great medicine.

Looking like snow in the high country starting tomorrow thru next Thursday. Can't wait to see all the broken sleds and trash coming our way..

Tonto creek and the Verde river are cranking out some runoff!

This is an unusual Winchester model 94. It was made about 1942 and is chambered in 32 WS. It has a Lyman 66a receiver sight. It is unusual in that it looks like a Winchester model 64 front on a model 94 receiver/stock. But, the model number on the barrel has had a 9 stamped over the 6 in 64. There is some debate among collectors on who did the remarking. A lot of collectors says that since the model 94 sporting rifle had been discontinued much earlier, that Winchester would restamp the barrel for a customer who wanted a model 94 rifle. The 9 looks just like a factory Winchester 9. Some collectors believe it is not factory work. But, there is little reason for a gunsmith to restamp the model number. There are a lot of guns that have model 64 fronts on 94 receivers but very few that have the remarked model number. $600 located in south Tempe area

That's awesome, congrats

All challengers welcome. Last year was too easy.

I picked the same set up up for 275 yesterday. But mine is stainless

Um, aren’t they Blackfaces! The nerve! Lmao!!! Good looking dogs!!

Won't give those people a dime of my money. They are anti 2A and anti small business. Some of the games they play and things they do to vendors they should be ashamed of.
