There are no ‘wild’ horses……they’re all feral and invasive.

Well possibly AZG&F could wean the 14 poachers off of deer meat and on to the Mustang diet.

For a good tamale that’s about the right price. Before my dad passed, our family tradition in the fall was to make real green corn tamales. Homemade ground white corn masa, roasted, skinned and seeded green chile and cheese. For the work involved, I’d have to get $60 a dozen. I mean just to grind and make the masa was a ton of work!

Winchester Model 23 Pigeon Grade in excellent condition with light handling marks with a lined Winchester case, 28" barrels Mod. and Full fixed chokes 3" chambers. This is a beautiful shotgun and would make a great addition to your herd. $2500 PM/text or call Yancy 602-751-2616 Would trade for a Ruger Red Label in 12, 20 or28 ga. depending on configuration, Ruger Hawkeye 256 pistol or 3 Screw Ruger's depending on what you have. High end optics such as Nightforce scopes or Swaro bino's Any trades must be in like new condition and original boxes are a plus. Colt Python, lever guns or a combination. Let me know what you have.

I was lucky enough to have drawn the first hunt in the Picacho Mountains (37A east) six years after the reintroduction of sheep to the area. Because the area is so close to my home I chose to go about the hunt self guided. First call was to AZG&F to figure out what I had gotten myself into. Officer Smallwood, the manager for 37A, kept me on the phone for well over an hour during my first phone call to him. He gave me areas to access the mountains and information on where they had been seeing sheep. This was huge. In all, I spent at least one day almost each weekend from beginning of September until the hunt in the area looking for sheep. I managed to wear out a set of tires on my Jeep on that road. Hunted seven days. It was physically and mentally strenuous. At one point, we found ourselves up on the mountain as the sun was setting. Coming down in the dark with headlamps on, moving from cliff to cliff was no picnic. I vowed that if I was ever in that situation again, I'd sleep on top of the mountain and come down in the daylight. I had several friends help out. I was never alone. My hunting partner, Jeff was with me every day of the hunt. Made two new friends from this website. Luis (Lucafu1) and Patrick (PatrickJr) each accompanied me for a day. Solid guys. Helpful to a fault. In fact Patrick glassed up the Ram that I ended up killing, he prepped the cape/head and hauled the meat off the mountain for me! I hope to repay the favor someday. I am including pics from scouting as I had as much fun looking at lambs as I did looking for mature rams! I did not kill the biggest ram in those mountains, nor the oldest. That said, I am super happy with him and he is going to look great on my wall! G&F determined it to be a 6 year old ram (probably born in the Picachos the year they were introduced) He nets 164 inches. An amazing once in a lifetime experience! I totally understand the fascination and addiction to finding sheep in the mountains. I hope to be a helper on somebody's hunt in the future!

The whole feral horses thing got me thinking. This kid killed a healthcare executive and suddenly the whole world is talking about how mest up our healthcare system is. To be clear I'm not condoning gunning down folks but I do wonder if a bunch of feral animals were liquidated would this topic get sent to the front lines on the news and force game and fish and the forest service to actually do something about what we and they all know is a problem? Or would the individual get hung out to dry. Thinking out loud here. My guess, hung out to dry even though game and fish should be backing up science. But if that was really the case would predator contest hunts be banned and would we even be talking about hound hunting?

It was only moved about 10’ from where it was buried. Couldn’t find any discernible tracks but assuming coyotes got to it. Neat learning experience

Huh?

Got up late, scrambled to get my stuff loaded and was able to park the truck at 0900. 1st bird down at 0905, 15th bird dropped and picked up at 1145. The birds (very large coveys) were absolutely everywhere and they were talking up a storm till 1130. Not a single dove, but I’m ok with that.

How much for just rifle no scope? And how much for just the stock?

messaged you

Never had these before but just saw this come across my feed. I have bought meat and chorizo from here before and its good. Located in Superior

Un- bearable..

Thanks for letting me tag along. I wish i didn't have to got back to flagstaff to pick up my elk meat or I would have been there. I can't believe how many hours we watched this guy not move from his spot. It was funny after about 3 hours. Not for you I am sure. Congrats again!

Vouch for this guy. Great seller

Here's a Coues Whitetail tail from a buck I just shot in Mexico. Red on his chest too. Ed F

I’ll have to try Mi Pueblito next time! 1/2 the reason I go to La Casita is for the personal nostalgia. Growing up in Kearny a LONG time ago, that was one of the few places my parents would drive to for the rare family dinner out. 😉

Well it’s a couple days before the last day but I’m interested to know how it went! This dreaded nonresident is finally allowing himself to get excited. Plan A, B, and C is figured out with lots of other plans and ideas waiting in the wings if need be. I just need December 15th to get here… Thank you to those who have reached out to me. It’s been a lot of fun just talking hunting!

We used to hunt around Bellota Ranch about 40 years ago. Got into some decent bucks. I have no idea what it's like now. I'm thinking they converted it into a "dude ranch" type operation. Watch out for the shin daggers!

Wife killed this stud this past weekend, made a perfect shot at 550 yrds. What do you guys think he scores? This bruiser finally came home from Mogollon Taxidermy, unfortunately we didn't make the 110" mark, if he had longer eye guards we would have been there. 104 2/8 was the net score. Thanks to everyone and their kind words, going to be a tough one for the wife to beat!!! Thanks Clay for another beautiful mount.
