    Maybe because the classifieds gets most of the traffic on this site. Why do you post on the classifieds to add your unwanted opinion and rarely buy anything?

    Congrats you must be well liked. This declaration takes merit out of the equation (next in line) and allows for this type of speculation if the tag was earned or given.

    Over the last 20 years I have drawn a lot of limited opportunity tags. Always 5th choice and every year I say never again. I call it the M effer hunt. Filled a couple rifle cow tags and killed a rag bull on the achery hunt. . This year I had to miss the first three weeks while I was away working out of state and thought I wouldn't even make it out for the last couple weeks of the hunt. Was able to make it out this weekend for three days and had a great time . Spent all day Friday sitting water and had three elk come in at around 430 pm. At the same time I hear a vehicle coming closer and closer when finally a green van with a Jurassic Park sign on the side pulls up through my scope.. off road and drives halfway around the tank. So I switch my safety off and the hippie steps out of his van and proceeded to start preparing to urinate in front of me. I informed him of my presence at that time. Not wanting to get in a fight and having elk in my sight I grabbed my gear and took off after the elk. Never cought up with them. So the hippie decided to camp 10 yards away from the tank all weekend. Test of my old self not wanting to be confrontatinal I decided to build a blind up the trail from the tank and have another family member make a report to fish and game about the hippie violating the quarter mile rule. Two days later 6 elk come in shooting range of my blind and hippie gets a rude awakening with rifle fire.elk down. Had an amazing time and got the biggest cow elk to date. Plus size is on the way out I passed the game warden headed in to give hippie a ticket for stupidity. It was a good day.

    I could have not have scripted this hunt for my buddy from Texas any better. Opening morning I dug up 3 great bulls in a nasty canyon. After running out of real estate we settled in for a shot my buddy makes pretty consistently at 736 yards on the best bull, a 6 point probably around 300-310”. After cutting hairs on his back twice the bull had enough and moved into thick timber. We never could pick them back up that day. He was heartbroken. Fast forward to day 3…..I locate 2 giants in some cedars and we sneak in to 50 yards and he hammers the biggest a 6 by 7 with devil point!!! His first elk! What a dream hunt for him and this is a bull of a lifetime! Only 4” broke off him, beams just under 55”, and mass all the way up 😬😬😬

    The story is short….. I was so busy trying to finish up my cabin before our friends arrived from Texas that I only got out 4 times. Was on bulls every time but just never had the shot opportunity I liked. Day before season ended I decided this “trophy Spike 😂” would do. 58 yard shot and the track job was short. Awesome to have my boy with me on it and our friends arrived just in time to hang the first elk at the cabin!

    My daughter after a dozen years, decided to start hunting again. Her fiance passed last year and has moved back home at our request. Her sadness has been apparent. First time putting in, in that time and she gets the coveted 37a late season bull tag. Fortunately, for her, there are few people that know late season elk as well as me. 🤣 Scouting was difficult, my usual spot on had 10 broken bulls in it, so I decided to check other areas that I know. Wednesday, I find a spot with a herd of about 25 bulls, but a guy in a gray single cab Toyota pulled behind and these elk acted very skittish. I wasn't comfortable focusing on them. Yesterday, I decide to go to my original spot and 15 bulls are off in the distance. One weird one with a double main beam I wanted her to take. This was the final dress rehearsal. I had everything timed from house to shooting position, including pee stops and circle k shopping at two hours and two minutes. Everything, for once, goes perfectly. Then the unexpected happened. A newer Ford started following us down a two track with very limited access points. I speed up and he speeds up. This causes me to go way closer to our hunting spot than anticipated. My brother took off his jacket and asked to be let out too discuss hunter etiquette. We get to a spot where a tacoma is better than a full size ford and leave him behind but very close to the hunting spot. We get to our spot and I see a silhouette of a man a few hundred yards from us. I curse out loud(very loud) then glass the field and find 15 elk bodies to our left and 850 yards into the field. The silhouette was 90 degrees to our right. I go through options in my head and for a brief time my daughter was not my daughter she was a hunter. I tell her 'let's c'block the m'fer'. The terrain and visibility was in our favor with him having a slope in front of him. I tell her let's cut across the open field into the little valley keeping the hill between the hunter and us and getting closer in the progress. We set up 3 different times before I dare not get any closer in the wide open. I'm anxious and texted Flatlander this Pic. He knows this spot in 37a Then I started texting ranges when they get to 500ish yards a fog bank rolls in and my rangefinder reads 7 yards. Last night my daughter said in a stern voice "I am shooting the first bull i see. I am not a trophy hunter". As we are in front of 15 bull elk, she says I like the gray one and the one way in the back. I am going to shoot the last one. I tell her weirdo is in the middle, a 4x6 with a split main beam, and there is a giant in the way back in the herd to the right. The fog lifts a little and the ones up front are under 400. The first ones cross at 307. Some broken small bulls. She let's them pass. She's set up and ready. I am thinking she is going to shoot weirdo as i swing the binoculars to the front of the herd. Boom! I ask her which one did she shoot at. Then Grey falls, not taking a step. After a few seconds it trys getting up and she puts a second round into his neck. Then he'll breaks loose. The elk just next to Grey make it look like Grey ran off. We stand there in disbelief. Then we look where she shot and see antlers sticking off the ground. Elk are running in every direction with this batch looking at its leader just lying there as we get closer i see this. as she walks up to it. My brother comes and we pose for a pic. this fat old 7x7 was shot at 705 am and we got the last piece out at 230pm. She did the majority of the field dressing

    The problem isn't about it being fair chase or not. The problem is that they are taking away one more little bit of our hunting privileges. And then they will go after the next low hanging fruit on the tree. And there will be a few that don't agree with that type of hunting so they will not have a problem with that being banned. And so on until they have all our hunting rights taken away. How fair is it to sit in a tree stand and shoot the first animal that unknowingly walks under you? Or doing a deer push? We are stressing the deer out and they are "scared for their lives". Should we ban them types of hunting also?

    Selling or trading a Winchester Model 70 in .243. I don't know much about the history of the rifle but it's in beautiful condition and doesn't appear to have seen much use. It has a Weaver Marksman 3x-9x mounted but will probably need to be sighted. Happy to answer any questions or provide additional pictures. I have several other Winchesters, so I'd like to diversify/downsize. $900 - Located in North Phoenix. Trade for a Henry Big Boy, Marlin 1894, other levers. Would also be interested in trading for another scope/rifles setup, open to all calibers but a slight preference towards .223, 308, and 6.5cm ‪623-738-536five Thank you

    Bragging about how many rams you have killed is the equivalent of bragging about golf courses you have played at. Just an old rich dude trying to flex about being old and rich. When you do draw that rocky tag please bring your friend with the walking sticks. Please make a video. Please kill a giant. And be sure to sell it to all of Randy’s loyal Midwest subscribers and remind them to send their donations every May. In the mean time they can keep chasing quail and eating jackrabbits. Then you can slap each other on the back and rub each other in the front while you pretend it’s all for conservation. No hair off my back.
