Found a picture of the rifle on one of my old phones it now has a sling a Redfield 3x-9x scope and a bipod for shooting from the prone or sitting position.

I definitely didnt expect to be sitting a tank on this hunt but we had the bulls coming to it during the day so I decided to give it a try and it worked out, an older guy I've known my whole life gave me a call and asked if he knew where some bulls were and I said go sit this tank no guarantees but we had 11 bulls coming to it before the hunt and that I killed mine there on Friday he was willing to shoot anything so he went and sat it and smoked a spike from the same group of oaks we had sat in

Had a few days off from class so im staying with my mom ill post pics of the gun when I get back to the house in williams

Found these sheds this past week all but one are recoverable only white on the top sides any tips on how to put some color back in the white sides?

Bout an hour from my house

Went out checkin trail cams hopin to get some pictures of deer in a couple new spots and got a kudamundi to stroll by

My little sister drew a unit 10 junior rifle tag this past year and it was her first tag. We didnt get a whole lot of scouting done except for a couple days before the hunt and i had seen bucks and thats all that mattered. A good family friend of ours also had his son (Kolby) hunting with us and opening morning was a cold one. We had split into 2 groups of three so i went with Kolby and his dad. a doe had caught us before we seen them and were only 30 yards away! this doe had us pinned for a good 10-12 minutes and kolby was standin there tryin his hardest not to laugh the doe finally relaxed and a spike came walking out and we got kolby on the sticks and we asked if he wanted to shoot it and he said you bet so we told him to take his time and to squeeze it off and he couldnt have made a better shot on the buck that was facing at us. The buck flipped over and landed on his back then never moved again. We took a couple quick pictures and then his dad walked back to the jeep and was going to bring it around to the backside to make the pack out shorter. That night we were all hunting together and lee had about a 10 minute head start so we met him at the glassing spot and glassed a decent sized draw and on the way back out i noticed the rear end of a deer standing about 120 yards away so i told her to grab the gun and get out!! she kneeled against a rock on the side of the road and i was crawlin out my side and i threw my binoculars up and noticed that somethin wasnt right. i had my right foot in the jeep and it was rollin down hill!! so i finally got it stopped about 20 yards later and then she shot and i saw the back end of the deer kick out so i knew he was hit and we walked to where he was and no blood. followed his tracks and still no blood then kolby (who is 10) said he thought the buck was on 3 legs so i got to looking and he was right! he wasnt using his front right leg so we followed his track for another hour and finally started seeing blood and we followed his blood for another half hour then decided to back out and come back in the morning so we came back the next morning and got back on the track and we found a spot where he had bedded down and there was a puddle of blood but after he got up he had quit bleeding so we stayed on the track all day and kept on it. at almost 6 that night we hit a canyon and the track went to 12-13 foot bluff and so i went around and got below it and the buck had jumped off the rock! so i knew we were right on him and about 30 yards later on the tracking job i saw the buck limpin on 3 legs trying to get away so i yelled at her "there he is shoot him!" she shot and missed about a foot in front of him "shoot him again dam it!! kill him!" she shoots again and missed just under him and she got another bullet jacked in and threw the gun back up and went to take another shot but i asked how many bullets she had. one. so i told her not to shoot so we ran and chased after the buck and we could see him crossing a flat so i told her to keep up that were not letting this deer get away now. we were running through the flat and the buck jumped up about 10 yards in front of us! he had laid in a little drainage ditch with his head down so she shot him again and knocked him down and he died about 2 minutes later. i would have cut him but he was worthy of mounting so i didnt want to her first shot had hit the buck in the front right leg in the knee and blew it up to the point that only skin was holding the lower half of his leg she said she held right behind his shoulder so we went back and ranged it and it was over 300 yards so it was our fault for the poor first shot because we told her to hold right in his shoulder and she was right on line but the bullet dropped due to the distance. My mom had the tag that started on november 2nd in unit 8 and she didnt hunt the first day because i was down south hunting my coues deer but were able to hunt the second deer because i killed mine on the first day. we were road hunting as we had no scouting done at all but we finally found a buck and she smoked him!! dropped him at about 120 yards. overall it was a great year as all three of us killed good three points. thanks for reading

Lol, i see where you guys are coming from and trust me we seen plenty of partiers in lake havasu city but we were camped about 15 miles up river from the london bridge where we were told to go by another good fellow we came across on our 2012 trip so where we were camped at there werent any college kids, thankfully. yea man, i dont know what i would have done if that man wouldnt have helped, no phone service, not that it would have done me any good, my phone was in the truck anyways but i know our trolling motor wouldnt make it the ten miles back up river.

Went down to havasu with my dad and we planned on fishing Monday through Thursday all day every day and leave on saturday morning. we only got in 2 whole days of fishing and about halfway through the 3rd day the boat died and wouldnt turn over. Luckily there was a boat across the cove and he noticed we were having trouble and came over and asked if we needed a tow and so after we got hooked up he asked which ramp you guys launch at? we told him Cattail cove and he asked where that was and i told him it was about ten miles back up the lake and so it took a while but we made it back and we offered the man cash to pay for gas and he said no. This goes to show there are good men everywhere that are willing to help out as i would have done the same for him. anyways, we ended up with 12 fish in 2 days of fishing (9 of which were mine) yes, we kept the males to eat but we released any of the females we caught so they could move up and spawn. we caught most of them throwing senkos in the docks and i caught a couple on a drop shot off some deeper points the water was just a little to cold for them to be spawning and by a little i mean like 1-2 degrees. After we returned from the lake i drove up to my sisters house in williams and did a little shed hunting. found one small 6 point and a dead cow elk that didnt live through the winter. I cannot think of a better way to spend my spring break, i got to do a little bit of my two favorite activities, pickin up a little bone and catchin some monster smallies, our smallest fish went 15.5 inches! fishing was on fire!

i thought it was a set til i saw the pictures of the bases! good day for sure!!

Me and my dad went down to Apache today it was the first time for both of us we have both fished Roosavelt alot but we decided to give apache a try. We caught one about 14 inches and lost a second right at the boat, it was pretty windy all day long so we tried staying in the coves out of the wind. Any tips for this lake?

This is my second deer my first deer was also a whitetail, a missourri whitetail ,which i harvested sitting in a treestand on my grandfathers ranch. totally different types of hunting. On my coues hunt we glassed our first spot but the wind was howling before the sun came up so we decided to move down the ridge about 200 yards to glass the bottom of the canyon that formed a little bowl that blocked the wind and right away Chad found this buck at around 900 yards and although my brother in law,Donnie, had the gun to make this shot we decided to wait til he bedded then try to get closer so i kept an eye on him while they kept glassing the rest of the country and he bedded so we made our move and we cut the distance in half to around 450 yards and got to the shooting spot a little before nine and decided to wait him out til he got up. then we waited. and he got up 5 hours later and i was laying there eating some smarties and donnie says get in the gun he's up! i just kinda chuckled thinking he was joking then he says it agian and i could tell by the look on his face he was serious so i got in the gun and couldnt make out the deer very clearly so i cranked the scope up and was able to see him clearly. donnie was telling me just take your time and tell me when your going to BOOM i squeezed it off and luckily he was in his glass and watched the buck drop in his tracks and before i could jack another shell in all i could hear was him and chad dude you smoked him!! great shot bud! so i got up and we hugged and high faved time and time agian then rushed and threw everything in my pack i couldnt wait to get my hands on him so we dropped off into the bottom and left our packs and the rifle there then made the hike up and took a couple quick pictures to send to friends and family then we guttted him and then we took him back down to the bottom and got some better pictures. Definately a hunt i will always remember and one that will be tough to beat. have to give huge thanks to my brother in law donnie and couldnt a done it without these two guys.

This year will be my fourth year hunting in this event. I have a blast every year cant wait for next weekend!

Heres some fish from the year of 2012. Many are from my grandfathers ranch im Missourri which has a 7 acre lake on it. The water moccasin is laying next to a 7 foot oar I hate snakes so he had to go

Are they still holding these monthly?

If i had the money and if he'd let me store it at my place, id consider it
