With the elk/antelope deadline upon us I figured it would be a good time to make a post about my September elk hunt. Long story short I wanted to hold out for a better bull than I killed in 2017 so I was being a little picky. After a week of passing on a few bulls and not really seeing anything I was willing to shoot I decided to try some different areas. Blake had seen a straight 6x6 he guessed to be 350+ so I went into the area to try and turn him up. He also mentioned there was a big 5x6 in the area and to be on the lookout. We were able to find the 5x6 and after a couple blown attempts he made a mistake. We slipped in behind him pushing his cows out into the burn to feed and when he doubled back to chase off a smaller bull, we happened to be in between them. It was a chip shot at 43 yards and my arrow center punched him and he took off running. We trailed him for a little over a hundred yards and when we didn't find any blood we opted to back out to return the next morning. Not how I wanted it to go but that's just how it sometimes is. By far my best bull and I'm not sure I'll ever harvest a better one, but it won't be for lack of trying...

My son is in the middle of his first year of big game hunting. We were going to try to get him onto some pigs and have him take the first shot. Friday morning, the first spot didnt produce anything but deer and cattle. We changed locations and caught some pigs moving into a cut out of the wind. We made a big circle and found the pigs bedded down for the afternoon. We snuck into 45 yards and started our waiting game. No shots due to the pig pile. Shortly after 3 pigs came to our left, we had no clue they were there and got busted. All the pigs scattered, my son located a lone pig and took him down. Turns out it was a pretty tiny one 😂. All jokes aside, he was proud of his first muzzleloader harvest. Saturday we spent the day chasing pigs but kept getting busted or they would disappear as we got closer. The winds kept the pigs down low and out of sight. Sunday morning at 9, a herd was located far out in rough country. My pops is unable to do those kind of hikes these days so my son and I took off. We were able to get to 124 yards and take this older boar down and had a brutal pack out. We'll head out next week to hopefully locate pigs in a spot that my pops can hike in.

Will this affect the guys who pretend they’re using a handgun on the javelina hunts

AZAV8ER 3 post Newbie because this is the first forum I have ever joined - so the posting process is foreign to me.... I don't have a single social media account either - which I can assume is not the case for you. I have better things to do. But a buddy suggested CouseWhitetail as a place to sell a gun or 3. Just got back from Sonora and after shooting my buddies McWhorter - I'm selling off some of what I got to hopefully build my own eventually. As a long-range shooting enthusiast, perhaps you can appreciate...Likely 7PRC or SAUM. As an N. AZ resident my entire life - you welcome to leave the concrete jungle of the N. Valley and cruise up to the tall pines, sit on my porch, drink a beer and talk long range shooting and hunting...

Based on What Curtis said if they don't have a brace just a buffer tube and no foregrip it would still be a pistol unless I misunderstood

Actually, the ATF has ruled that all braced pistols are now SBRs and, consequently, they would not be eligible for the HAM hunt.

Not if they pay the tax and register it.

Anyone that applies and keeps a "brace" on is a bigger fool... A brace was simply a way to comply. They are uncomfortable and worthless compared to a real rifle stock. The whole reason they were made was to comply with federal law.. If you want an SBR, do it right with a nice comfortable stock to shoot.

Sportsmans north Phoenix had a ruger American in 6.5 creedmoor the other day if you dont find something here.

Anyone that applies for this totally not a trap "free" tax stamp is a fool

Congratulations on an outstanding bull!

Awesome.

The rifle has a 24" barrel and I am pretty sure it is a 1:10 twist barrel since it is from the factory. I will throw in set of rcbs full length dies if the buyer is interested and possibly some brass as well.

Awesome! Congrat to your son!

Yes to all of that. Now where you have to be careful is with something called "constructive intent". Meaning, you cannot just remove the brace from a pistol and store them both in your safe or even the same room. How far do they both have to be from each other? Great question lol With the ruling you have multiple options. Remove the brace entirely, keep the brace on and put 16"+ barrel, register as an SBR, destroy the firearm or give up the firearm to ATF. Don't shoot the messenger I am just feeding the garbage that came straight from the donkeys mouth.

Story following.

Well, some of my best elk spots came up empty this year. I did a lot of scouting, and they really moved around. But I did eventually find some decent bulls. It was a tough call, but I settled on a place that I thought wouldn't have a lot of pressure, and had a couple of legit shooters hanging around. Opening day did not disappoint, as the bulls were on schedule and in place. But by the time we had dropped down the canyon, and back up to a knob to shoot from, they disappeared. We sat there till 4 looking for them, but to no avail. My buddy went back up high to look some more for them, and found another 6x6. It took us an hour to get out of that canyon, and by the time we got up there, the 6x had moved on and we could not relocate him. On saturday, we went back in there, and could only find some smaller bulls that didn't slow down for a shot. By the end of the day Saturday, I was pretty beat up. I decided to take Sunday off completely and recover. After church, my son begged me, " let's drive down forrest road **** and just see if we can glass something up. I reluctantly agreed. And sure enough, we did. With my son standing there, excited, I couldn't help but shoot this bull. My son ranged him at 487, i touched off my tikka 300 win mag, and he dropped in his tracks. He struggled, and got back up, but fell over again. It took us a minute to find him, but we did, and thanked the Lord, who is always good. it was a great hunt. Good time spent with friends and family.
