On the way home after seeing nothing all morning, something told me to pullover and check a thicket out before calling it a season. About 200 yards off the road and the other side of the thicket, was a grassy flat with yuccas and about 10 grazing pigs. After not being able to close the distance due to the swirling wind likely giving me away, I called em in too about 40 yards. They came running in from about 150 or so yards out. I nailed this sow with the Ruger GP100 357 from two that came in on a dead run. What a blast!

Well we got about 6" in Payson the last 2 days but starting Thursday thru Friday looks Like Payson may be getting 17"-23" of snow. Everyone coming up to play and hunt be safe a .courteous to all.. Love it just the good old days, tracking pigs in the snow

Good times on this hunt, weather was against us, managed to drop two on the 7th stalk.

cancel all ebt and access programs for a year and crack down on e-verify which is easy to fool. This will also force all white,brown,black system suckers to get off their butt and get a job. Would also pay off the national debt at the same time.

They have Forest Lakes painted black with 36”+ Looks like they’re gonna get hammered!

There were 5 in our group, only 4 hunters. A friend bought his son this hunt as a college graduation gift. We Saw lots of bucks, mostly 90-95", some 100" plus and a couple of giants that we caught glimpses of. Brian shot first, but his gun was off, so he had to sight it in again later. We spotted a nice buck on the next ridge, 500 yards away, so I got as close as I could from the ridge we were on, which closed the gap to 300 yards. We watched them for a couple of hours, either feeding behind shrubs, or they'd bed down in the thick stuff. That gave me time to find the best way to setup for the shot. Ended up using a nice V-notch in an Oak tree. There were two other bucks with the one I was after, so we really had to keep an eye on them. They got up again and started feeding, the bigger buck disappeared behind a large bush. Watched it for about 40 more minutes on and off through my scope. I could only see the Bush in the scope at 16x, so I radioed Brian, who was still at the top of the ridge, to tell me if he saw it step out. My eye was starting to twitch from looking through the scope so much, lol. After a while more, I looked over my scope and saw a deer behind the Bush walking away. Quickly getting back into the scope, I saw it was my deer, and about to disappear over the top! Figuring it was now 350 yards, I put the second crosshairs on the TDC reticle behind the front shoulder, as it began going behind another bush. After firing I heard the "whack", then I hoped I had a good hit. Wondering what happened to my radio spotter, I took the radio out of my pocket to check. I somehow had turned it off! I turned it back on and was told I dropped him in his tracks. After climbing up to him, he wasn't as big as I thought, or wanted, but it's a cool looking buck. Hit him right where I aimed, bullet lodged under the Hyde opposite side, in front of that shoulder. Later, I recovered the Nozzler accubond bullet and the yellow polymer tip! The rest of the hunt went well, everyone got a nice buck, but all under 100 inches, in fact mine turned out to be the biggest at 96 1/8. Frank the grad also shot a huge female mountain lion! Weird thing, when we looked in its mouth to see the teeth, there was a whole, unchewed eyeball in there! Smaller than our bucks' eyes, could have been a fawns or a javelina. Nice crested saguaros we saw. Frank holding the eyeball. The eye that was in its mouth. Big paw and claws. My buck had a white nose. Oak tree I used for the shot. My deer was on that far ridge top.

Azlance is looking for one l believe

Spend the money on the scope then put a Remington 700 under it and customize as the budget allows.

South of Camp Verde getting 12 inches Thursday night. I bet Payson gets hammered.

Next Friday you will have enough to snow mobile

Had about 4” on my driveway in Prescott this morning. Still enough left to go sledding with the kiddos after work this evening. Good times!

That is one sexy b...

I shoot 300 grain MZ Expanders and 100 grains of 209. I have found with my Optima that the heavier bullet gives me more accuracy. Also have found in my setup a solvent cleaner every 5-7 shots gives me an accuracy improvement too. One thing to keep in mind is that it seems every gun seems to like a particular load. I have owned 2 Knights, the Optima and a 700M. What shot well in one gun didn't mean it was going to shoot well in the others. This is a 300 grain MZ Expander pulled from a deer I shot at 150 yds quartering away. It went through the hip and lodged under the shoulder skin on the opposite side

Here is my set up so far. I still need a funnel and a brass powder measuring device. Anything else you guys recommend?

I had 4 friends join me on this hunt, it truly was a group effort. I received some very helpful info on what to expect from Dirtbag (thanks Greg) and a few others that have experience in the unit. The Cabeza Prieta is as advertised.....It will humble you. I took this 9 year old class IV ram.

Remington 1903A3 30-06 Sporterized. Made in 1942 and carried through Whiskey Whiskey Deuce (European Theatre). This rifle has Nazi's, deer, and elk under its belt. My latest harvest was a 19A Cow. I used 180gr Remington Core Lokt. Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14x50mm scope.
