Good luck to everyone who is about to head to the mountains with their kids for their hunts. Looks like it is going to be a wet wet weekend... Good thing the government is shut down and I have the week off, we might need it!

We are up here. Caught a lull in the downpour. Boy and I drove the rzr (nice and slow) about half mile front camp. Bulls going crazy. Absolute down pour. Turned around and slugged back to the rzr then camp to get warm and dry.

Headed out.... about an hour ago! After getting fuel snacks ice double checking the straps on the razor and picking up a shovel we're finally hitting the freeway to head out of town!

My boy and I leave tomorrow for his first elk hunt. I read this with a giant grin on my face. My absolute favorite part was "All these young kids filling their first tags is a great thing. I have a lifetime of chasing elk in front of me." There are plenty of full grown, very experienced adults that could learn a lesson from that sentence alone. I also commend you for letting him go alone. I don't know that I could do that, then again my boy is only 12, maybe when he is older....

I like seeing how other people set up their rigs. Ours is an older rzr, a 2012 900xp with a freshly rebuilt motor, little brother ran it out if oil. We also had the shocks revalved and eibach springs installed. Just put the rack and the spare tire holder on. Just need to mount the Kolpin gun boot and Im all set up!

Saw the name and wondered if she was part of the family. Great bull and even better shot!

How come I knew that was going to be the first response? The elk are where the elk are and at that time, they were working their way back to their bedding area crossing a two-track so that's where we hunted them

Years ago my dad had the highly coveted 4B early archery bull tag. We were working a bull and had visual on him coming on a line. Some guys who had the rifle hunt that started after his son ended drove down near where we were close enough to Spook off the bull. Later talked with those guys told him what was going on they were apologetic and I had to tell them like look man people are out here archery hunting you shouldn't be driving roads and shoot during Prime time. They were cool they agreed and they decided to not drive roads in prime time.

That seems like a detail that shouldn't have been overlooked in the ad.

No they dont.

I'm in Eloy right now heading through to Casa Grande and they definitely got a little bit of rain but not much. Picture Rocks was dry.

Craigs custom rifles

Night force is great if you make a bad shot you can take the scope off beat the animal to death put it back on and it'll be good to go!

Nope. Just me and my 70 year old hunting partner. Who'd you hire for this year Frankie?

As pointed out, the reports have been a little slow, so I decided to take a break from school work and type up a short report. Tried a new unit with my hunting partner, it was awesome. His old stomping grounds that he has killed some great deer from. We were not over run with giant bucks, but had a great time and I managed to fill my tag on a cool buck on Tuesday the 25th. We hiked into an area and were sitting there glassing. I got a little chilly so I stood up and put on my light jacket. When I did that, I had two does staring at me at about 150 yards. Went back to glassing. About 30 minutes later, I pull my eyes away from my binos and see two bucks at about the same spot. "Shooter buck!" I say to Jim, as I stuff an ear plug in my ear and grab the 28. The buck is only 138 yards away and sees me moving, but there is a bush in front of me where I cant use my bipod, so I hold the rifle freehand and let it rip. I see him turn after the shot and take a few steps so I let another rip. I only had two down in the gun so pull a 3rd from the saddle bag and drill him. It happened fast so I wasn't 100% sure of the shots, but saw a bush shaking for a few seconds after the last shot so I was confident he was down. While reviewing what happened, I saw a cactus that appeared to be red and glistening. Sure enough, covered in blood. When we got to the blood, it looked like someone poured a 5 gallon bucket. Somehow, this buck took the 180 Hybrid from my 28 through both shoulders with a massive hole in his chest and made it 30-40 yards before going down.

On twin peaks?

Im northwest tucson. I bet we can find a place to meet. Ill buy this if we can meet.

These are great pants very comfortable. I've worn them twice, they're just too big for me. Size 44x32, great condition. Id like $60

Bump. Bottom dollar, $1200

Looking to sell my trailer. Approximately 13x6, actually longer but I'm measuring to where it starts narrowing. Brand new 3500# axel, 250 miles on it since it was installed in Pinetop. Tires are great shape. Comes with two spares, but they will need replaced. One needs a plug the other needs replaced. Thing has been a work horse, I've taken it all over the state with my rzr. Asking $1500. Title in hand, located in west Tucson.

Ive asked a few guys from work to go. They all had excuses. One even said he "didn't want to catch bullets". I thought that was super lame.

If a 370" is something Greenhorn wants to kill, that bull better count his days.

For those that dont to another popular site might not know about Greenhorn. IF hes going to 23, (well, now in 23) the biggest bull in the unit is in big trouble. He kills monsters.
