Just curious, Which one did he pick up? I have a 1892 win (I think it is a 1910 serial number). Fun round to plink with that I've always wanted to varmint call with just to say I shot something with it. A homer bucket at 50 yards doesn't stand a chance!

TTT--thanks

Free bump for a great pair of boots that I just paid 330 for from cabelas.

No reasonable offer will be declined--thanks

Looking to take a family trip to that area next summer with the trailer/kayaks etc and am looking for an RV park or space on or near a smaller trout type lake that we can anchor too for the week and fish/kayak there and day trip from. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you Josh

Awesome! thank you.

Exactly why I want to be up there about a year from now. Going to definitely take a day or two and try and hit that hatch with pt boat in hand. Then do the whole park and other stuff as well. Might even look into a guide float trip for the day and see the river a bit. Looks amazing! Any advice on guide services or locations to jump from would be awesome. I've hit the Animas, Juan and Green a few times, but never fished the West north of Utah.

I have less of an issue of someone putting the wounded animal down and sorting out the details after the fact than taking a pot shot, missing and moving the animal. This happened to us a few years ago.. moved the deer off of the ridge/pocket we felt good about getting back on and was coordinating to over a rode and to a north side that after 4 hours trailing, one hail storm and the next 2 days searching the area, never found him. In their defense, they may not have know the deer was hit, but these guys that think they can shoot a really long way, shouldn't always. Lots of variables.. I'm sure this guy and many others shoot legs off and never even know they hit them because they don't go down and sure as heck ain't walking over to check. Sorry--topic for another post...

Fantastic information, thank you all. Anybody stayed in the Palisades area? I see a couple of parks there connected to the snake and a reservoir? We've never been up there and the idea of glassing up Grizzles is very cool. Is that park such that you can just pick a road and start glassing?

Oh I forgot to mention, before lying down in the pickup, stack the interior shelves on the safe bottom or remove completely as I have seen them break during transfer (most are particle board).

I'm moved a lot of safes back in the day and they lay down on their back in a pick up as easy as anything (a little cardboard helps a ton if the truck doesn't have a plastic bedliner). Lean them in and pick them up from the bottom and gravity will do the rest. A dolly with straps and kick back wheels are a definite plus. Save the money on the trailer/ramp etc and rent a good dolly IMO.

If closer or they don't have what you are looking for, Tempe Sales has a good supply of all different sizes/densities (flat and egg carton) and can cut or adhere to fit.

Sorry, to be clear adding a break to 7/08 would cost about $280 and for that, you are set for her with a larger caliber and almost zero recoil. I know money is money, but I added that to an existing gun vs buying a new caliber or being uncomfortable in case of shot placement etc.

I saw this title and had to read, my boys were 10 and 12 on their first cow hunt and one shot a 7/08 (140corelokt I think) and one shot a 243 (100gr Nos partitions). The 7/08 was just behind the shoulder and she just layed down and died within mins. The 243 hit her right square on the shoulder, she walked off about 80yrds and I'm sure would have died eventually but after about 15-20min still had her head up. He put another one into her shoulder and she still didn't give it up for another 5mins or so. I felt really good about the partitions breaking her down, but sure didn't get the damage up inside I was hoping for. Totally agree shoot what is comfortable to her, but I will say my Daughter (very recoil sensitive) was 10 on her first cow hunt and 11 on her 2nd cow hunt and both were shot with a 270wsm with a brake (140 accubond). For $280 I was a lot more comfortable and she had less felt recoil than the 243. Just make sure the ear protection is on. If I had to it over again, I would have broken that 7/08 back then, but I sold it and ended up with this 270wsm at some point. Just a thought.

Not sure if this will help, but I've had 2 late archery tags. First one snowed a foot the day before the hunt and ruined any plans I had..I ended up not seeing an elk for 3 days but then when I found them, I was able to stay in elk pretty consistently for the next 7 days. Never being able to close within 80ish except for one surprise encounter. Water was everywhere, but I did try and sit water a few hunts over what looked like well used water holes, but no love. All remained in canyons and I couldn't get in front of one in those canyons and they had no reason to travel. 2nd hunt was complete opposite in a different unit.. warm weather and I thought oh boy I got this... no love on tanks and all bulls were in even bigger canyons with flowing water and same result. I decided to retire Nov/Dec archery elk hunts after that. However, that dry year, my son shot a 340 bull the week after the archery hunt at 60 yards with a rifle in the unit I had the previous year in the spot where I was planning on hunting before the foot of snow (Year before was covered by snow and teens, that year was Sept weather).. so I'm thinking it's possible if you get the right weather in a unit you know well. That is my .02. Good luck!!

We picked up my son's dual mount last weekend (yeah the little %#$$ got drawn twice in 3 years -- 2015 Rifle/2017 Archery), I thought cool enough to share and really to promote Troy at Authentic Taxidermy. He's only done these 2 goats and a badger for us now, but is a great guy and very accommodating. Dropped off my wife's and daughter's pigs while there as his pigs (and coues for that matter) look really sharp as well. Good luck to those with tags! 17 points and counting... Only 10 more years to go!

Thanks.. always fun to hunt and equally fun to scout. Wish the tags would come around more often. I threw a live pic of him for a better reference.

84 7/8 (I won't give him 85 just in case I shoot an 85 some day) and the archery buck was right at 75. Kind of deceiving on the mount but he had good cutters and mass not to mention day 7 and 30+ stalks into that hunt I don't think he was being picky anymore anyway.

I have a plethora of new primos turkey calls. I will keep a few for personal use, but can certainly sell some. If you are in the market, give me a shout before you order and I can save you some money. One of the boxes and striker is spoken for. Mainly diaphragms for sale. Josh 480-369-4923
