Post Thanksgiving birds

I figured I'd share the story of how it went down. It was pretty amazing. I had the opportunity to hunt desert bighorn sheep in the Cabeza Prieta wilderness of AZ. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget. The Cabeza is rugged, austere and dangerously beautiful. The only thing that really exists out there are the iconic desert bighorn. This story is filled so many nuanced connections between amazing people. From the moment the original hunter decided to donate the tag to me because he got Covid the hunt was meant to be. People that I didn't know I came from everywhere to help me make this a reality. I literally could not have done this without them. And for that I am forever grateful. When I hunt, I'm not the person who is always chasing antler length. I always have "the quality of the hunt" in mind. It's about the experience. This experience was among the best. In previous years of hunting I've had hard earned lessons, I've beat my body up and I've learned to deal with the frustration of failure often. On this hunt everything went perfectly. It culminated when I was able to harvest this 10yr old beat up and broken warrior at 220yds off the desert floor. I had prepared myself to climb on my hands and knees up these steep 1000' cliffs to make it happen. Instead it all happened at the bottom. I'm still in disbelief. The original hunter had 29 year's worth of bonus point for sheep in AZ. I've only been hunting for 4 years so I assumed I'd never hunt sheep. 2 days before the hunt he gets covid and donates his tag to me through Outdoor Experience For All. I was floored and quickly accepted only to find out that 46b west is a wilderness walk in unit. I called the preserve and they granted me access to drive in because of my prosthetic legs. I got out to the area a week after opening with some great dudes helping me. We glassed and saw some good rams over the next few days. On the 4th day we went deep into the unit and spooked3 rams that winded us when we got to the glassing knob. The rams went up a mountain and were not huntable for me. We backed out and drove a ways to a valley to glass. We glassed up those same rams a long ways a way from where they originally were. They ran up a mountain and down the other side then ran over 2 miles across the desert floor to a whole new mountain range. They were laying at the bottom in the sand when we saw them. I made a mile long stalk in to 220yds. Wind was perfect and we dropped into a wash bottom to cover movement. When I got there we couldn't see the big one but the second biggest one was in sight. I was considering taking that ram because he was pretty good but a little younger. Then the bigger on stepped into sight and I was able to take him 20" off the bottom of the desert floor. It was absolutely amazing.

Thanks fellers. It was a heck of a hunt and I'm dang lucky to have been able to pull it off. It wouldn't have been possible to do without so many great people helping me.

So after chasing mule deer in Dec/Jan archery my wife decided she wanted to try her luck on a desert mule deer during the general hunt. We’ve chased these deer only during archery and had decided to keep tabs through the years. We finally felt we had a solid plan so off we went. We got to her u it the afternoon before and set up camp then went out to glass. On our way to our glassing spot we came across a groups of 4 bucks hanging out in the area we were goi g to focus on. We got up early Opening morning and my wife and son got ready and headed to the area we had chosen to be at sunrise. I went to the glassing spot. At about 0611 I glasses up a group of 5 bucks, one of which was a definite shooter. Once they had formulated and approach everything just worked out perfect. I was bummed I couldn’t be with her when she shot but having just had hernia surgery a week earlier I was relegated to glass duty. 312 yard offhand shot with her 300WSM and the rest is history. Super proud of her!

I just didn’t know what constituted coming down on hard. 5 years suspended license, I don’t consider a harsh punishment, especially for guides out there cheating for money. Brian fisher got a lifetime ban? I saw a dude few weeks ago posting about hunting with him.

$625 for either the stock Tikka LA or SA, which includes shipping to you - provided you live in AZ. $615 if you want to come pick it up at my place. I live near 101 Loop and 56th Street.

Some pre rut tonight in 35a. Saw a buck moving with intention

I will be using mesquite and oak. The mesquite for flavor and oak for coals. It is a stick burner though. Pellet grill will be for the sides.

That's a matter of preference but I like hickory.

Lye does a good job taking rust off after soaking a few days

Just picked up the rifle from Axis Works and OMG AMAZING!!! Big Big thanks to Axis Works for the donation of the muzzlebreak and the time to re- cut the threads and crown.This will ensure that even the youngest of the kids will have no trouble with recoil. THANKS AGAIN AXIS WORKS !!!

Thanks to couescrazy33 for the pistol case and ammo for the shotgun and pistol

Just want to say thank you to all of you guys and let you see what I was able to harvest in 46a East. Special thanks to @wish2hunt who was with me and spotted my sheep. And @codyhuntsaz, Len, Clay, @1uglydude, @trphyhntr and the rest of you guys for helping judge some sheep I had found and sharing ideas on where to go. Was a grind of a hunt for most of the time but in the blink of an eye completely changed and I was able to harvest my ram. Game and fish aged him at 8 years old which is class 4, and scored him at 168 4/8. Super grateful for the way it turned out and appreciate the guys on cwt that are generous with time and information. Couldn’t be happier.

I’ve had it for two weeks and have about 10 hours on it. Not really a gripe, more of a realization of growing older in a modern technologically advanced world.

We've got rifle cases that were donated by firstcoueswas80 for the kids .Also thanks to Outdoorlife602 for picking them up in Tucson and bringing them up to the valley. I'll have pictures up later today .Thanks everyone.

This guy was with does during an elk hunt.
