Now wait a minute boys, let’s not jump to conclusions. Rumor has it he invested $10,000 5 years ago with world renowned investment genius, Ilhan Omar.

We couldn't make it out on opening day due to school and sports. After practice on Friday we loaded up the jumping jack and headed out into the rain for the weekend. We got about 3/4 inch of rain on Friday so the drive in to camp was sloppy and a whole ball of fun for the tacoma. Saturday we covered a lot of country with no luck in the prime glassing time. The morning had no sun and the rain was coming and going. The temperature was warm and that kept the javelina in the flats. We changed strategy and went where we can glass a large flat area. We quickly found a herd feeding but no way to landmark the spot. I tried a new trick, I marked where I was on ONx maps and then I marked a mountain that was 5 miles away, the herd was somewhere along that line I marked on the app. We parked and started walking in, only took bout 30 minutes til we found their digs. The wind was wrong and the herd was 60 yards away, couldn't get a shot and they boogied out. That afternoon my son said he enjoyed tracking javelina in the mud and it was more exciting than glassing. I went to another spot in the flats and we followed fresh tracks for several hours but couldn't catch up to the herd. Sunday morning was clear and sunny and we had high hopes. I started glassing early before the sun rise to see what coues bucks were rutting in the area. It took less than 1 minute of glassing and a herd was spotted on the move. We made the mile stalk to where they were, took our time and picked out the largest looking male and Colby made a great shot. All in all we got 1.5 inches of rain during the hunt which was great to see.

dang you have been killing more dogs than Parvo.

My biggest buck an Az archery otc

Sounds exciting. I've got capable rifles but no money or time. LOL

6.5 PRC projectiles. $55 a box. Located in Williams, AZ but in the east valley about every other weekend.

Purchased to use on a hunt and now I don't see us having a need for it anymore. We loaded the gun with tripple seven loose powder, and hornady eld x bore driver bullets. This thing absolutely shoots. Moa at 100 yards was no issue at all. Comes with everything shown. The muzzleloader, scope ( Arken 4-16 sh4 gen 2), all the standard accessories that cva sends ( black horn break plug, standard break plug, breach plug tool, funnel, muzzle break, thread protector, feild rod, range rod, etc) Also selling all of the loading supplies: tripple seven loose powder, lots of hornady bullets eld x, sst, a max, sabbots, primers, a cleaning kit. This thing is ready for its new onwer and you have everything that you need to get started! $900 firm. Or trade for .300 blackout pistol, r700, ... let me know! Thank you.

I think he owns the Big 9 Outfitting concession in BC as well. I can tell you he’s making WAY more then $1mil a year, or atleast was. Seems like an awful lot of charges for it to be a small mischart or accidental billing issue so I’m gonna assume things haven’t been on the up and up on the billing end of things along the way, but who knows. It’ll be interesting to see where it leads. If it was a mistake I hope they get it cleared up and if it wasn’t I hope they stick em with why they deserve.

Nothing big, Handful of 70-90 inchers. Saw a bunch of broken up mule bucks too

WAIT !!! That is the kid of the kid we called elkhunter? Man, I'm feeling old! CONGRATS, but now I need to go take a nap.

Way to go Ernesto, thats a superb buck!

Killin yotes is more productive!

Both GunBroker and True Gun Value support the conclusion, depending on condition. I use both when trying to decide for any purchase or sales price. Anybody use any other sources?

Can we get back to the classified adds please....?

I can confirm that as false as I was able to put my son in for the draw for deer when he was 9, turning 10 in mid July. As someone else mentioned, you cannot buy them a bonus point before they turn 10, but you can apply for a tag at 9 as long as they’ll be 10 before the hunt. Luckily you still have time to get him in for the elk draw.

I miss those hunts. I used to look forward to those than any of my own tags.

Shitt I thought you were selling weed or something.. 😁

236 and 224 NT. 224 has over 6 inch bases and a 203 mainframe. Same hunt 1992 thumbnail (2).jfif thumbnail (1).jfif

I am not sure we can ever return to the quality from 40 years ago. Mother nature will win out in the end. Even if G&F shut down desert units, the drought has a larger affect than any hunting can have on a population of animals. I am of the opinion that moving all the OTC hunts to a draw or modified/separate draw, would not necessarily increase quality significantly in comparison to the drought conditions. The quota systems have largely dampened the amount of deer being killed that is for sure. Who knows how many archery deer were taken pre-quota system, it had to have been a lot. I see a lot of people on the archery hunts, but that does not necessarily detract from my experience. Most people I see don't put in much effort to hike 1000 yards off the road.

I’ll take any Kaibab hunt anytime…however, I quit putting in for it as it takes too flipping long to draw even an early tag anymore. I can’t leave bonus points in my will, so I’m using them as fast as I can get them , lol

ill take the early hunt anytime.
