I thought this was about the raffle bull, not about someone slipping in about a unit the know absolutly nothing about, get off your butt and do the work

Only because all the cows in 23 destroyed the habitat and pushed all the elk north...

Meth destroys lots of nice places.

When I first began writing in the late 1960s, I was doing monthly articles for a magazine called Arizona Outdoors. One weekend, I was shooting in a metallic silhouette match at the Tucson Rod & Gun Club range and met a guy that was part of a group that was akin to the Bill Williams Mountain men. Difference was these guys really enjoyed playing their roles. Anyway, he invited me to spend a weekend with them atop Mt. Graham. I decided to go along to get photos and do an article on them for the magazine. It was a fun time. They all dressed the part with homemade buckskins and such, slept in teepees, cooked over open fires and had the usual turkey shoots and hatchet throwing contests. When I got back, I decided to do a bit of research for the article by reading several books on mountain men from the library. In one, there was a journal story about a guy who was mauled by a grizz and left to die by two of his companions. His name was Hugh Glass and he survived. A year or two later, the movie Man in the Wilderness with Richard Harris came out. I immediately recognized the plot as the tale about Glass. And then more recently Leonardo DiCaprio reprised the role of Glass in the Revenant. Of course, parts of the films were Hollywoodized from the original true story for consumer consumption, but they followed the tale close enough to recognize the origin of the screen play.

Not great quality....but off my deck this am at daybreak.

Out hiking years ago I came across this antique tooth harrow that had been uncovered in a wash by a 100 year flood. Came across it again recently and retrieved it. Next will be the ore cart half buried on my claim in the Bradshaws. Can't get any vehicle within 1/4 mile of that so building a sled and hooking up a harness to my boy...he just doesn't know it yet.lol Share your yard art

Just a few clips from the hours of video we have from hunting and scouting in our beautiful state of Arizona! So blessed are we to live where we do and do what we do! Lots of extra points in this batch!View the full article

Browning A-Bolt rifle. Caliber 300 Win Mag. Rocky Mountain Elf Foundation version. Raffle winner at their Phoenix banquet two years ago. $550.00

FYI this seller does not respond. I made an offer to pay selling price through several pms 4 months ago and never received a response.

Pre-fab turret + factory loads + stock rifle isn’t a good recipe for 1000+ yards. Way too many variables when you get that far. If you get set up with a legit ranging system (sig kilo abs or similar) can find a load (or find someone to find a load for you) that groups 1/2-3/4 Moa and then shoot the heck out of it it’s possible, but “custom” turrets and a sighted in rifle aren’t the answer in this case.

a lot of the stuff went to ASU not sure if the bear was one of them

wonder whatever happened to the az grizz hide they had at Buckhorn mineral baths in mesa for 75 years or more. lee a funny aside in the early '90's i was pulled off beside the hiway past Arivaca in my 73 ford glassing for coues when this other old ford pulled up. strange rig-they were ;pulling a boat and trailer with no engine or seats but it was stuffed full of hatch chilis. they introduced themselves but all they wanted to talk about were the pronghorn hanging on down there.. later realized it was rick bass the the real grizzly man doug peacock. ran itno babe winkleman down there once also.

Growing up in Morenci and working with a grandson of 30+ years, I had heard a different story: https://truewestmagazine.com/fred-fritz-and-the-grizzly/

1979 Whiteman sow Grizz in the South san juans' in So. Colorado. Last Arizona Cinnebar were cubs killed on Mount Baldy in 1937. i burned alot of gasoline and lamp oil and phone lines- what we do have-remaining- is Jag. lee

I read somewhere it was in the late 30's, but who knows. I do know this...reintroduction of that Species here is a fools errand, and will bring only trouble to both people and wildlife. May as well reintroduce the Sabertoothed Tiger.

I've used Van Horn. He is OK. I wouldn't use him again. I have heard good things about Phoenix Custom.

Tom is awesome and does great work for vets. If you would like a child to be considered, Eddie Corona from Outdoor Experience 4 All is another option they provide experiences for both vets and kids with permanent disabilities or terminal illnesses. My son has been on the receiving end of his work and I can tell you that what these organizations do makes a huge difference.

Eh, the whole thing burned now, who cares.

That foundation is what's left of the Ruby Jail. It's a little west of the town. My buddy's Dad used to hit the sauce then have to sleep it off in the can, then he would take him something to eat. I guess the mine at Ruby had it's heyday in the 1920's and 30's.

The worst hunter is better then the best poacher

It was a tough hunt.6 days out there, shot the only buck I saw. Habitat is different over there, some awesome looking Coues area we were in produced not one whitetail. I think one of the mistakes I made was I was heck bent on hunting the way I do here in az, glassing and stalking, and i think in that unit they’re in the thick, un glassable stuff. Feel free to pm any questions you have, I’ll be out there again this year giving that unit one more shot, but if I can’t figure out a better area, I’ll be putting in elsewhere next year... did see plenty of elk, bears, and mulies but the Coues were almost nowhere to be found where I was

Agreed.

It was in unit 27. I forget where the thread you are talking about is, but I think it was a 'where am I' topic. I believe the old ranch where it happened is called XXX. I'm sure the ranch got its name before the Adult Film industry took it.
