23 early archery hunts north and south. So basically bonus points.

Nice when a plan comes together. Doesn't seem to happen very often. Congrats

At 4 yds I bet it pile drove into the ground and it didn't get up. I watched a buddy do the same thing a few years ago. He watched the pigs as they were going single file through an opening and he waited for the biggest one and over led it. He said the force took it off it's feet and it didn't move. Congrats on getting close. Did you stalk in on them or call them in?

So I am going to thinning out my rifles a little bit to make room for my new varmint rifle I just bought. I am selling a Winchester M88 .243. This thing is in absolute great shape. There are only a few light marks in the wood. I had a hard time finding a value for the rifle and the only one on gunbroker was for $800 which I think is unrealistic. My daughter was shooting this last year for her hunt and she was getting right at 2" groups at 200 yrds with factory ammo. I am asking $500 obo The best way to get ahold of me is by phone or text at 480-294-56 seven three. The gun sling is not included.

Sorry guys. SPF

Looks like a great season with the exception of the Colorado hunt. That is too bad. Almost seems like they should be able to get cited for waste when they allow access for retrieval.

Seldom Drawn, I wasn't comparing southern AZ to Mexico. If you read my post correctly I was comparing the rez to Mexico. And I happened to kill the smallest buck out of the group the year before that was just a bit over 108". There was a 114" and also a 118" bucks taken on the same ranch. And the year before a 127" buck was taken off the same ranch. So I don't think that is too bad. Look back in the Mexico forum for mine and Ernesto's posts. Plenty of pictures for proof. I don't have a problem coming home empty handed at this stage of my life if I don't see what I want to shoot. As far as price goes it wasn't near as much as a lot of the hunts down there are. As for southern AZ I put in and get leftover tags every year. But I am not a fan of hunting with about 10 camps within about a 1/4 mile of mine and 10 other guys on the same ridge as me. Do I do it? Yes, because I like being out there for the experience.

Hunting the rez isn't near as expensive as hunting in Mexico. I hunted Mexico this last year and didn't end up shooting anything. Saw lots of bucks just nothing big enough to shoot. So I could have saved about 2K and hunted the rez. You tell me which is the better deal. And you don't have to worry about a dozen other hunters on every ridge.

Great bull. And the best part is that it isn't all broke up. That is amazing.

You are a killing machine. Great buck! Do you have a job or do you just go all over the country hunting?

Sweet bucks! You would think after shooting a 119" buck that you would be smiling a little more.

Nope, just sold it. Sorry

I just upgraded to the Hellfire and don't have any use for my spitfire anymore. I still have the box and everything works and looks great. I have called in badgers, foxes, coyotes and bobcats with it. I am asking $100 obo. Send me a IM or call me a 480-2 nine 4-five 67 three.

I wish you guys were further east. I love shooting but it is too far to get over there very often. I always swing by when I am in that part of town though.

I would like to do a local deal if I can. But if you have someone that you know that will be up here I could meet them and drop it off for you.

We were hunting bear a year ago or so and called in a lion that my buddy shot at 7 yds. He was using an electronic call and it was at about the 35 minute mark that it came in. The sound was a elk calf in distress call that worked.

Great pictures!

Incredible bucks. Congrats to you and the hunters.

There are a lot of people out there that didn't care who won until they heard his interview. Piece of work right there.

Nice stalk. Way to get that close without waking it up. I also carry them that way. There is nothing worse than carrying a stinky pig over your back.

Shuttle T Loc's fly great for my setup. Used to shoot Muzzy but they are way to noisy and don't fly very well out of my Hoyt.

Love it when a plan comes together. That is a pretty buck.

Cool bull. Looks like the picture was taken out front of my taxidermists house there in Young. I will have to make a call tomorrow and find out the scoop.

Another great video and a great buck. Always look forward to your videos. Luckily you are on a hunt about every month it seems.
