First year of production for 16 gauge. 870 Wingmaster, 28" fixed modified choke. The older 870s with the corn cob fore-end had a lighter contour barrel which makes them much livelier than the later production models. Excellent condition for a 72 year old gun, it does have some minor wear and a few small dings. Great quail gun. $585

Just make sure there isn't a rock below you that you might shoot that you may not see in your scope. My buddy did that one year on his coues hunt. He had a buck lined up on a steep downhill and when he shot the rock just below his barrel blew up. Luckily he wasn't hurt. I've always shot low on both steep up and down. here's an article I found that may help. https://www.rifleshootermag.com/editorial/hitting-a-high-or-low-angle-shot/83768

I just dropped my Mule deer off at the Maricopa County Skill Center near downtown Phx. They had the room and price is reasonable as they are a school that train butchers.

I've told the story of my dad and his company (C/1/503/173d Airborne) as part of Task Force Black and their battle on Nov 11, 1967. I've shared his "famous" picture that was taken during his first tour and went AP/UPI world wide. Here are a few other photos from his 18 months in Vietnam. He brought his war home with him for all of us to fight, but he was my hero. Veteran's Day always meant something much different and deeper in our house. I miss him every day of the 19 years he's been gone. Thanks to everyone else for your service.

Hello all.....my name is Jason Von Allman; been a viewing member for a while. Don't contribute much to the forum, because haven't had much to contribute, but do enjoy reading all of the post of others success. Long story short, have been putting my son and daughter in for AZ youth hunts for last 5 years. Have drawn youth cow elk hunts 4 times and took an animal 3 of those times. They are hooked... Daughter was finally drawn for a youth deer hunt in 18B. Have scouted twice in last 2 months, but not finding much for animals since we don't know the area real well. Have came in off of Anvil Rock Road as well as Trout Creek Road.....haven't seen a buck yet. Question is....when hunt comes around, is this the areas we should focus on? If weather hits....are these roads passable with 4x4 pickup? Any insight would be greatly appreciated....DM's work Pic is of Samantha from hunt a couple years ago..

The tubac one is good if you're for lights and such, went last year and it was fun walking around. Going again this year just to find the band that was playing auld lang syne. It’s was the best version I’ve ever heard!

I have a similar 16ga 870 (early 50’s)that’s beat to heck than I’m still actively hunting quail with.

no

Maybe ASU can start to turn things around now that this dumpster fire of an AD is gone. It will definitely take time. https://www.azfamily.com/2023/11/13/ray-anderson-resigns-asus-athletic-director/

You're welcome. Great to meet you and I'll be in touch with the other items soon.

Sure miss hunting with my dad as well. Lot's of great memories and lots of crazy stories too.

Cajun style , griddle”fried” pinto tacos on Mexican tortillas to boot… I hate to keep posting fish, but it’s all I’m really good at!

Here’s a pic of my son. He’s in the middle.

See ya out there!

Fish cops recorded 9 rings, scorer counted 8, this is how I personally counted using the 4th year as the first very pronounced ring, but I’m not experienced at all.

8 laying 9?

Ya Well we went down south finally and got him a coues deer ..... I haven't done a write up in a while but I decided to this time. Well with all of my son's obligations this year for school and sports we were having a hard time figuring out what days, if any we were going to be able to hunt. We planned out to hunt Saturday and Sunday only at first, he is a senior this year but had college classes he couldn't miss on Friday. He also had a cross country event Friday evening that he could not miss, he is the team captain. Right before we left, he got permission from his college teacher that he could actually miss a couple days and he would let Curtis make it up. Day 1 We got there Saturday morning and went straight to hunting, we didn't even set up camp yet.... we found plenty of doe in the area we wanted to start focusing on. Same in the evening. Day 2 We moved to our second area the next day and we saw a bunch more doe until last light. We saw two deer top over the ridge towards us. It was so dark I barely put horns on one of them. Day 3 So ... the next morning rolled around and nothing but does in the morning again. Mid-day my boy said dad I need to get a workout in since I am missing two practices( he runs at the state meet this Saturday) ..so we go back to camp and he goes for a 5 mile run up and down the road by camp ( I kept thinking it would be funny if border patrol was watching him run back and forth and to be able to hear them talk about him). Yes he is crazy and dedicated to his sports and everything he does. We get back out that evening and were able to relocate the same two deer. They were both bucks almost identical in size, No difference that I could tell... Curtis looks him over and says he likes the one on the left. I get him ranged while he gets prone on my pack and gets set up and comfortable. He is able to get on him in the scope and said he is ready. He sent a shoot once the buck stopped to graze. Then dropped the buck right there. We still had a little bit of light to get to him, which was of course at the very top of the mountain. We got to him before dark, but had to do all of the work in the dark and hike out and down in the dark. My son said the buck met his expectations for the time restraints we had on this trip. We are pleased and glad we were able to get him his first coues deer. Sorry for brags, but I'm so proud of the young man he is becoming and the memories we have able to make together. Thanks to everyone over the years and the support from everyone along the way.
