Selling my Christensen Mesa long range with a vortex viper pst 5-25x50. Great gun and shoots lights out, Only has 60 rounds fired through it. I do have a RCBS die, shell holder and brass to go with it. Looking to get get $2100 for the setup, I am willing to split the two if someone wants either or. Located north Phoenix.

I received a call from a lady at azgfd yesterday afternoon telling me there was a draw issue and I should have received a tag but did not and that they will issue me a tag next week once it's signed off by the powers that be at game and fish. I am a nonres but have a lifetime license so wondering if somehow I got capped at the 10% when I shouldn't have been. I am extremely excited to be hunting az bulls in the rut with my bow this year.

Very good to excellent condition 38 +p. $625

Will you do $450 for just the rifle?

Theres $2925 in the rifle, a night force rail thats been properly bedded (125) plus you wont have to do any load development so at 2000 I m giving it away.

Why are two different people bumping the thread? That's kinda odd.

I think the AZGFD needs to revaluate the LIfetime license requirements. It is way to easy to live here for 6 months and establish residency and then buy a lifetime license and then move on and then not be in the 10% cap. I think you should have to be a resident for at least 5 years before you're able to buy a lifetime license. Heck in order to qualify for a Pioneer license you have to be 70 years old and live in the state for 25 consecutive years.

Reading through this thread, everyone should remember that the G&F could have just ignored it, so give them credit for doing the right thing. While some may have figured it out concluding they should have drawn a tag, my guess is most probably would not have... Thank you G&F for taking ownership of the mistake & "correcting it!" (my two cents...)

Better yet just get whatever does the job 100 percent when a boomer steps in front of you. Zombies are real.

One doe right behind the blind this morning and a turkey

Also wanted to say, I’m sorry you had to go through that

Maybe.....?

One that should go 80+

Not on topic but I have a San Diego kayak fishing trip booked for me and my 15 daughter in June and I can’t freaking wait

Rent gear. If you want to buy check out Penn Fathom 2 speed 40N for Bluefin. You can catch smaller tunas and yellos on whatever. For top notch look at Accurate, made in USA. Fished with the owner once on a sponsored trip. Dude and his kids were cool. Shaping up to be another great year! Got a trip planned for late August with some friends. Can't wait! About a 75#er from a few years ago. Our boy Swivelhead is the man though. He got one around 2 hundo last year.

So far antelope points

I’ve never spent a dime on hunting that wasn’t a complete waste…. yet here I am at the archery shop…take my money.

Opportunity cost for taking the free online hunter's Ed. They don't have the final class anywhere nearby so they want you to take the other class at a charge. What a waste of time!

+1 on the old school range finder that you had to turn the dial until the two pictures lined up. Worthless, every time you pulled it out of your pack, you had to re-calibrate the stupid thing.

Get a bigger tank attachment? My blackstone 2 burner is the best purchase of my life. No cheeseburger can compare to a blackstone cheeseburger. Look at the chicken sandwhich I fried the other day on that mf’er

Just got back from Texas on a DIY. I was fortunate to smash the speckled trout and was blessed with a 20 inch trout. The redfiish bite was hot and got to tag a 29inch 8lb 14oz red. I did keep 2 other redfish a 22" and a 25" I attached pictures to share. Can't figure out how to rotate them

Yeah thats definitely all screwed up. I've said it for years, our draw system needs audited because this is quite common. Looking further down it looks like it's messed up all through the report. The missing tags are the ones they save for their YouTube crew.

Limpopo Province, on the Limpopo River, May 2019 I received a couple of questions regarding my avatar so I thought I would post a little bit of information about the hunt for anyone planning a hunt in South Africa. I think it is important to mention that the majority of hunting in South Africa is conducted behind what is termed high fences here. The size of the high fenced areas varies greatly from small 4 foot fences to stop cattle and sheep movement to large scale “big 5” fences. This fencing also serves to protect outfitters and land owners from poaching and therefore their viability. You will struggle to find a property in South Africa or Namibia with no fences somewhere along the line, be it a park border, a high fence on a neighboring property, or a barrier to public roads. The land areas are generally very large so you may not even see a fence at all during your visit apart from entering or leaving the area, and the low fences do not hamper animal movements much. There are also a number of different ways in which you can hunt in South Africa - but all of mine has been traditional “Track and walk”. You would typically wake up and have a coffee and small breakfast at the camp before being driven to another part of the property known for the type of animal you are looking for and walk from there. For this hunt, I was at Maswiri safaris’s Beskow camp, a 5,000 hectare parcel of land in the far north of South Africa along the Limpopo river and I was after a nice bull kudu as my wife wanted some “decorative horns” to place on the coffee table. Similar to the Coues deer - a kudu is also referred to as the “Grey Ghost” and can sometimes be a nightmare to find despite their size. My friends knew about my target and as such bought me a couple of books (Peter Flack - Hunting the Spiral Horns) and magazines in attempts to assist. We walked for miles and miles, glassed for hours on the top of “koppies” (small rocky hills) without too much luck for about a week. We didn't even see cows. After another unsuccessful morning we made our way back to camp for a breakfast where I discussed going straight back out in the heat of the day and focussing along water points. We drove to a likely area and were dropped off with our backpacks, professional hunter and a tracker and slowly walked our way along. It wasn't too far from the drop off point (I’d say less than 2 miles) that the tracker started getting excited as he had seen a good bull. The path towards him was pretty open so we backtracked and went around another koppie, inching our way around to spot him again. And there he was with his head deep into a bush and perhaps a 100 shot with his shoulder exposed. We set up the shooting sticks, set up the rifle and turned off the safety. I slowly squeezed the trigger and down he went - my first kudu bull. It was only later when we looked at him that we realized just how great a bull he was - old as the hills, with ground down teeth and beautiful ivory tips. Of course - we now started to find kudu’s everywhere we looked for the remainder of the trip. For those of you interested, horn length for a Kudu measured in it's simplest form is taking the measurement of the longest horn from the base along the spiral ridge to the tip only and can be extremely difficult to judge in the field - factors such as how deep the curls are influence the final score greatly. According to a post on Africahunting.com titled judging Greater Kudu: “In terms of trophy size when it comes to mature Greater Kudu bulls, the holy grail is taking the elusive monster 60 inch plus (152.4 cm) Greater Kudu which is something that does happen to a lucky few, however it is the result of the hunting gods smiling down upon you. I would say that horns above 55 inches (139.7 cm) make for an amazing trophy, horns above 50 inches (127 cm) make for a great trophy, horns above 45 inches (114.3 cm) make for a good trophy and horns below 45 inches (114.3 cm) make for a beautiful trophy and great memories!” Mine doesn't have exceptionally deep curls, but measured 53 inches. Regardless of the measurement - my wife didn't get her decorative horns for the table - but he does sit proudly on my wall.
