Thought I'd share this year's bird, as I enjoy reading others posts on here and figured I should contribute. Had to endure some brutal wind on this hunt but was able to find this guy early on his roost. Got set up where I thought he'd go and of course his fly down path was not what I had planned for when I got set up in my spot. Despite that I was able to keep him interested after he flew down with the softest purrs and light yelps I could make on a slate call. He tried his best to convince me that I should go to him, but after about 30 minutes of that game (and thankfully no real hens around), he finally made his way to me. He hung up at about 70 yards, but I changed it up with some yelps from one of Little Creeks mouth calls. That flipped his switch and he came into range. One shot and he was done. Prior to the shot, this bird had some of the most radiant red and blue color in his head that I've ever seen on a turkey. I suspect he had been perched on that tree all night by himself with only one thing on his mind. A big thanks goes to Little Creek as he makes some very good calls and is a member here. Good luck to all those with tags left to fill.

Was an absolutely amazing year for birds - gobblers everywhere this year - I’m not quite sure of why so much success- if the really warm dry year set them off a little earlier or the mild winter wasn’t as hard on them I don’t know - but an abundance of turkeys this year - I’ve had about 2 dozen birds come into my shop this year - way more then in years past and a huge chunk of those were from the youth hunt . lots and lots of sightings and successes .

Ruger Super Wrangler 22 LR/22 Mag: I won this at a Predator management event a couple of years ago. Comes with everything pictured. The pistol has only had about 20 rounds of 22lr through it. It's got custom buffalo nickle grips. There's two handmade knives and leather sheaths/cases for everything. $400 Ruger Carbon Fiber 10/22: I have about 150 rounds through this one. It's pretty much new. It's got 30mm leupold rings and a Vortex Viper 2.5-10x44 with a throw lever. It's really fun to shoot and extremely light weight. Does not come with suppressor. $450 bare rifle. $750 for rifle with scope and rings. Im located in Pima Arizona, but I am willing to meet within reason. I am headed to the valley this weekend and show low/snowflake next weekend. Can bring them along.

They were out May 8th last year and draw opened May 13th. So maybe end of this week.

Buy with confidence guys. Bought a few from him, and all were shipped.

I was in unit 1 the last 3 days and it didn’t seem that hot. I could have shot a couple out the window or stalked them but I really want to call one in. I made some nice setups did what everyone has been telling me to do, but they didn’t come in. yesterday I set up in front of one, he was gobbling on the ground. I setup, call once he immediately cuts me off close. I don’t call again, I see him out on the tree line, he just keeps walking. That’s was brutal tbh.

No bird died, but I had a freaking awesome weekend with a first-time turkey hunter buddy of mine. Good vocal gobbling action and plenty of birds. Didn't close the deal, mainly because I'm mostly a wanna be turkey calling hack but it was a blast.

Can’t go wrong with a tikka

I would like this. Where are you located?

Will My Ex wife work. She's definitely an A$$. You can probably pick her up really cheap

Also, of important note, the $5 a month stand by mode does still give you low speed data. It won't let you stream and move through the internet very well, sort of like old school dial up. But I have found that the low speed will still allow me to send and receive texts and audio phone calls without drops or issues.

Gen 1 Ruger American predator 308 with 18" factory threaded(5/8-24) barrel. It has the flush fit rotary style magazine. It's the standard green Ruger gen 1 stock with rattle can camo job. I opened up the forend a little and filled the voids in the forend with JB Weld to stiffen the forend, reducing the chance of contact with the barel. Shot gold metal match and two hand loads at 3/4 inches. $350 bare rifle. For $200 more it can come with the DNZ two piece rings in the photos and the brand new Bushnell R5 scope I just bumped to the top of the classifieds(unless someoneclaims the scope 1st). Or for $100 more a gently used Burris droptine 3-9x40 BDC scope and the dnz rings.

The 2 boxes of Nosler Ballistic Tips is 22ct. Does that mean there is 18ct brass there? The handloads are all on normal 25-06 brass not made from 30-06 brass correct? Also do you have the head stamp and count of once fired brass?

Sold

My son has a 2006 Dodge Ram that was having issues we thought were catastrophic. We looked for a few days trying to find a repair shop that would diagnose the problem without charging crazy fees. While considering our options I happened across a CWT post mentioning Hunter. With nothing to lose, we decided to give him a call. After about a 5 minute conversation with Hunter, I knew we were talking with the right person. He showed up as promised and quickly diagnosed our problems. New injectors, ac compressor and many other repairs and the old truck is running like new. I really can’t say enough how I appreciate everything Hunter did to get my son back on the road. If you are having trouble with your diesel give him a call. I don’t post very often but I felt I should give Hunter(Copperstate Diesel) a recommendation. Thank you Hunter!!!

My heaviest bird to date…..just under 26 pounds.

Trump didn’t put his hand on the Bible during his second inauguration even though melania was standing there with a Bible. However he did in 2016. It’s appearing to many that trump may have converted. He gets introduced as the first Jewish president and he clearly says “it’s true” https://www.c-span.org/clip/white-house-event/user-clip-mark-levin-calls-trump-the-first-jewish-president/5185307

Since you asked… I’ve got about 10 days sheep hunting and 3 javelina hunts in the Lexus and really like it. The 4runner gets around a little better but the Lexus has more headroom and fits me and my boys better.
