Looking to get rid of my old BBQ. It's seen better days 😪 .I've had it just as long as the wife of 24 years and it's time to retire it. Was looking at the trager for a replacement for the grill and the smoker and free up patio space . Anything I should know before buying . The good or the bad .

Just a quick video of 20231121_082329.mp4 the turkey we ran across on the elk hunt last week.

Yep ! I struggled to find them on the hunt a few weeks before the elk hunt . I did get a bird finally but they were everywhere in numbers .

Your box must be full I couldn't send you a message on shells and 22lr Ammo. I'll take whatever your willing to donate. It all goes to the kids.

Thanks Brian IA born for the rifle case donation.

Not bad for 75 !! One shot and done. Story to follow.

Now that I'm home I can upload the elk video . 20231121_171151.mp4

Well the ending to the story is my dad didn't get his elk. We sat every day from dark to dark and on the second to the last day he finally got an opportunity as 6 cow elk came in to water. The lead cow saw something she didn't like and turned to run as my dad sent a shot from his new cva accura 45cal . We spent the better part of the day looking for his elk . As the rest of the group ran to the north west. She went west and I had her on her feet at about 200 yds in the trees. My fault for not going after her sooner to try for another shot. 😪 . Dad is 73 and not very good with the rocks and trip Hazzard type stuff. We did find another elk that had been shot on the hunt before his but she had already been bear food . Lots of big bull elk in this spot just the cow Aaron shot and the group of 6 that my dad had an opportunity at. Hopefully he gets another opportunity in a few years and I get a few more good memories.

This is my dad's friend Aaron he's a Texas boy and married to my dad's old high school girlfriend. Aaron lives in Texas and put in for 40 years in Oklahoma for elk to never get a tag. This guy has a broken back and shattered a leg from falling outta a treestand. So getting around is not easy. Sat every day from the opener till yesterday . It was catching up to him so he stayed back in the morning. I went to see how he was at lunch and took him in to his spot. Had 4 bulls come in with just one cow . He made a great shot and she was rocking. The big bull still tried to hit it as she was clearing the dam for the water hole . Funny stuff! We saw turkey, deer,and elk come in .To all the 6a road hunters I say keep quiet and listen and watch and perseverance pays off .

Russ night vision scopes and thermal are a no go in az. I bought a sightmark wraith for texas pigs. So your options are limited to good glass with illuminate redicals.. With out special permission. From azfgd.. if you do need it I absolutely will let you borrow my setup 😉

Pm sent on diamond back

Barns 120 or 140 ttsx and staball6.5 for powder is a deadly combo.

I ve got a muzzleloader you could borrow for her hunt if needed . It's a tc encore and you could easily download powder with blackhorn 209 . It shoots a hornady 250 sabot round . I'm up hunting elk with my dad this week but let me know.

Got a e mail about a safety recall for weld defects on some suppressors . Check the silencerco web site for details.

^^^ for a good looking pup . He looks like mine only skinny.

Hunting 6a for turkey and went by buck mtn look out and buck tank and the smaller tank on the 9353p and came across some jack wagons crime scene. Any one see anybody hunting the tank probably Friday or Saturday . Please call it in . It's OK to fill your tag but when you leave a whole bird you clearly shot and knew you did that's not ok. The bird was left at the water hole and it's probably only 30 yds across and in plain sight . Also within 40 yds of the two skinned out Jake's at the fence all within clear sight .

Now if you could just get them to read it and not ask a million questions when your in the middle of something .

I think archery headquarters still has classes they offer.

Just a few pictures of the 7-08 and the 3-08 after Eric and the axis works guys donated muzzle breaks for the guns . The shiny break will be getting cerakote work by mferaz. When I get back from my dad's muzzleloader elk hunt in a few weeks. Thanks Michael for donating your time and resources.

Elk decided it wasn't a pet anymore. Sad when people feed wild animals and things go wrong.

Updated for me also .Got a leftover 20b archery 🐖 tag

I get alot of help from fellow hunters with donations . It absolutely made last year's drawing . Even small donations when stacked together make a big difference. I'm currently waiting on a rebate from one of the rifles I bought so I can put that with other rebates and donations and maximize what I can spend.
