Made some great friends and had a great time helping on Aj's hunt . I'll let Dan tell the story hint it was a successful hunt.

Up helping Dan and his son Aj and came across some sheep.

Lost one early hunt in 6 a but another got bigger. Yep gonna be crazy for some! Get a tag and then deal with 100 or more extra tags in some units . It's going to get crowded in some places. Hunt where people won't usually go!

Lifetime of memories there . Good hunting!

Every thing has its place . Running dogs for lions may not be for some but that doesn't mean it's not necessary. A lion will kill once a week to feed. Then there's the kill because they can and it amounts to lots of game animals outa the population. Once a lion is in a area the deer ,elk tend to move . That would be enough for me to have no problem with dogs . Even if a lion is not killed they usually are pushed out of areas where they can have a huge negative impact . Just look at the 6a hunts . There was one lion spotted during the archery hunt and then two more for 3 total . That's 150 less animals a year for feeding plus what they kill for fun . Here's a young elk kill from the archery hunt . It all adds up.

So long story short I'm having issues with my powder dispenser again. It seems to throw charges .5 to .7 over no matter what I've tried . Powder is 4831sc so it should meter well . I always run a warm up and calibration before I start but it seems to consistently drop over charge. It's on the slow setting as I always run it there so it shouldn't be running to fast . It's definitely a bad time for it to take a crap! I'm heading back to unit 27 to help Dan with his son Ajs champ elk hunt on Wednesday morning. Dan has his rifle setup for Aj with a camera for him to be able to shoot . I was planning on bringing my 280ai as a backup should Dan need to make a shot . The 280ai is 9lbs all in my 7-08 is pushing 16 lbs . If anyone has a solution I'm all ears! If not I'm packing the 7-08.

Just picked up a diamond back 4x12x40 for the trail hunter . Sportsmans was crazy if you were buying a gun .

For those going out on Black Friday there are a few things I could use for the giveaway . Ammo 22lr 308 20 gauge Soft cases for two scoped rifles one at 46 inches and one at 32 inches. - cases have been donated. One case for the savage rascal. - case has been donated . Anything bird hunting related doesn't matter what kind of bird turkey, dove,quail. Small items for packs water bottles, first aid kits ,headlamps I've got all the big stuff guns and such already and can post them when I get a minute. Thanks to everyone that donates!! There are two 20 gauge shotguns Two 308 rifles And a savage rascal xp all going into the giveaway for next year .

Anything suppressed shooting subs is fun!😁

Razor has a micro fine adjustment . Two adjusters like my old model . The viper is just a single so I can probably see that . Mine was a replacement for a broken older model they didn't make any longer.

I've got the viper and my buddy has the razor and he can't tell the difference . The only thing I could see was the size difference the viper is bigger.

Just picked up 3 pair of 10x42 binos today for the giveaway! They did come with bino harnesses also. Things are coming together and it's looking like the kids are in for a great giveaway for next year!!! I've got a few ammo donations pending!! There's also a ground blind and hunting chair in the donation pool. STILL LOOKING FOR SMALL ITEMS!!!!! Any small items for packs ,any bird hunting stuff, deer or elk calls,or anything kid friendly and hunting related I'll have a list of all the great donations and who made them going up shortly so if you know these people you can thank them .

Nice work ! That's a heck of a shot.

Sorry for the loss! I won't run the heater in the trailer all night . It's a good way to drain a battery in a hurry among other things . I run a open sleeping bag under the bed sheets and a few extra blankets in the cold . It's definitely a good reminder to check the monitors and replace them as needed . If your like me we tend to bounce the trailer down some ruff chit getting in spots to hunt . The dust is a big deal for your smoke detectors also and replace the battery once a year Stay safe !

No idea on pack out but definitely Casey's for processing! There's always southwest but they only run trailers on select late hunts due to harvest numbers to low to justify. There usually at the gas station by lake Mary rd . You'd need to call and make sure first.

Congratulations! Stud buck.

Anybody have a 1 pc zero moa scope mount for a savage 110 . One of the guns for the kids giveaway has weaver 2 pc mounts . I thought it had a rail till I got it outa the box. Thanks

Thank you Brix8984 .

Sorry guys I've been super busy with work,trying to find my daughter her first car and getting ready to go help Dan and Aj on Ajs elk hunt . Dan had put up a help request for his son Aj on his up coming unit 27 hunt. I'll try and get some pictures up this afternoon. I've already got some cool donations and some guys I'll get with in the next week or so for some ammo donations . Any items for the kids giveaway is greatly appreciated. For anyone going up to help Dan on Ajs hunt and needing or wanting not to make the drive . I'll be heading up Wednesday afternoon and will already have my travel trailer up there for a place to camp outa. I'm in gilbert so if your going up and near by we could work out something.

Good hunting! Congratulations. Yep there was atleast one lion spotted on the archery hunt . Up above mesa and Banfield. My buddy that works up there had seen 3 crossing the 229 awhile back.
