This was not unexpected. This has been known information for close to 9 months.

Saw this on a trapping form and thought it was pretty cool. Would love to know the story.

I’m on the opposite side of your thinking. When will they stop with the entitlement. Everyone has a crossbow permit now, you can use airbow rifle things even on those hunts now. guys use ar15 on handgun hunts. And yes muzzleloader are shooting farther and more accurately than guys were with their 30-06 in 1995 were. We already slipped off that slope. Im sure he was trolling but I saw a guy talking g about wanting champ tags during the deer rut lmao. Time to reign it in

Like Adam previously stated not a coues but it was harvested with a specialty pistol. With 30 BP I finally drew an AZ desert bighorn sheep permit. I used a custom Remington XP-100 in 284 Winchester to harvest my ram at 157 yards.

I saw a post made on HuntAz’s Instagram page. I am not trying to steal anyone’s thunder and I apologize if the hunter did not want any publicity but I think this is just bad butt that he shot this in a super tough unit and did not allow his disabilities prevent him from getting it done. Congratulations to him.

I have 3 400's and 1 500. They are really great reels. I put the 500 on a Phenix Blackdiamond PSW909XHJ, throwing surface irons, poppers, colt snipers and the like. back with 80lb braid, and 100 yds of 50 lb mono. I just picked up an IROD SWK824BR pair it with the 500 for YT, YFT, Calico Bass etc... will throw like the above as well. Even do bait too. 100 yds of 50 lb mono. Another rod I like but use the 400's on is the Phenix M1 Inshore SMX-82H, throw smaller/lighter irons, snipers etc... good for bait too. 65 lb braid and 40 lb mono.

Slippery slope argument is so tiresome... Cellular trail cams, arrows with trackers in them, bows that are shot with air @over 450' a second, Mler's using smokeless powder, drones, night vision, thermal vision, the list goes on. So much new tech that was either regulated or needs to be. Crazy that some guys can not see a need for some type of regulation as Technology continues advancing forward.

EXO makes great equipment, on my 2nd K2. Buy a frame to fit you and all set!

Super easy to get a stuck case removed rcbs makes a tool for it.Me being a machinest I made my own on a Sunday while I was making double time .Probably the most expensive ever ! Made outa stainless steel took a few hours. Rcbs are about 19 bucks last I looked.Try the hornady one shot spray lube .

Plenty of videos on You Tube on how to remove a stuck case. What kind of lube were you using? Imperial Sizing Wax works very well. The best was the Dillon spray lube in an aerosol can but it only lasted a couple of years and they went to a pump bottle, which was not as good.

Sportsmans has had it most of the time when I was in there. Ince fired stuff in a bag i believe.

I like mesquite but you have to be careful. Its strong and can get bitter real fast if you over do it.

Have you gotten a lot of counterfeit bills that you have a verification pin?

Speaking of, has anyone been following the clay newcomb bear grease podcast on poaching stings? It’s fascinating. They also interviewed one of the poachers, who is now complete reformed.

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.

It can be both. Give me a late season archery tag over a September archery tag any day.

Today I completed a goal of getting a Coues Deer with my pistol. It was a lot of fun and challenging. Thanks to everyone who assisted. FYI, its a Savage Striker with a custom Break and Barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor.

I know it's not a Coues, but wanted to share my Wyoming Antelope I got with my pistol. Super fun hunt with my best friend. This was my 6th trip to Wyoming. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it!!!!! We saw hundreds of Bucks!!!! 642 yard shot with my Savage Striker in 6.5 Creedmoor.
