Found this guy hanging a stand in kibab a few years back .it was the whole deer not sure what got him .any ideas on score I can take more pics if needed

I've got the dead head in the garage in the same as found condition if anyone wants to have a good look.

Usually his dad Eric would clean up kennys mess .The kid used his dads card to buy a 7 mag and never paid for it .Then when he dropped it outa his truck he finally gave it to his dad. Skinny kid that always had a mouth full of that dip crap .

Kenny Ellsworth if it's the same person used to work at the shop I work at .His parents live around the block from me .His dad works at another shop running the repair and overhaul.

I will say they do raise a ton of money and they put it back into habitat and water projects,and the kids elk camp.Anyone know why the rez elk tag tends to get less money?

It was the only tag that you didn't see a single bidders number raised and the amounts keep going up.All the other tags in the auction you'd see the bidders .I thought it was weird and that's the story I got.The price of the tag wasn't set just the maximum the guy was allowed to offer.I could be wrong and I'm sure there are some members in the elk society that can clear it up.Good thing is that if they did the banquet we should soon see new in the box guns in the classified.

I went with a friend of mine and his wife a few years back and the guy at the table with us had bid on the elk tag.Its not always what you think as the bids were set and they already new what the tag would go for .Most is just for show .That year the tag went for about the same money to some rich guy that had sent his ranch hand to the banquet.They do verification on the bidders ability to pay and usually have a set max that they will pay.I will say they make a ton of money with all the raffle and drawings and I did win a cool pack from them .I use it for all my tree stand stuff .

Congratulations to you and all the winners.To everyone that helped thank you .Big thanks to the gentleman and his son I got to meet at Rio salado a few weeks back who is a member on here.A. big thank you .I was chasing my tail trying to figure out the gun and could not find my shots on target and was about to call it .When he offered to help and then we were able to call in the shots and finally dial in the scope .I kid you not it was over a foot high and way left making me wonder about the gun .Looks like the front runner is the 7-08 for next year.I will have a account set up for E -banking soon for donations for next year's giveaway.There were a few people that offered to donate and the lack of e- banking was a problem. Congratulations to the winners and a HUGE THANKS TO ALL THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE.

Second the not a vortex fan.I just sent back 2 of 4 new scopes because they wouldn't hold zero.I don't hunt unit 10 but have had several unit 6a muzzleloader tags in November and it can get cold enough to freeze the water in a trailer tank no problem.The weather can get screwed and be warm today and freezing tomorrow.The later hunts the elk have been pressured and there are a lot of busted up bulls .You might need to get off the beaten path and get into the thick stuff to find them.Set yourself a reasonable goal on the bull your after and if its good enough on the last day it should be good enough on the first.

Sent you a pm I've got a beretta 391 teknys in 20 gauge I could lend out for the hunt and I'm in Gilbert.Generic pic but that's the exact gun I've got.

Mile high has some in stock.

Kinda figured he looks like the crypt keeper from tails from the crypt myself.

Need to remove a ton of carbon build up in a old barrel any tips to make the job a little easier. Thanks.

What calibers would you guys like to see for next years giveaway? I'd like it to be a off the shelf caliber that will work for elk and deer .Also gun suggestions ruger American,savage,browning ,etc.I'm open to anything .I'd like to get them with factory threaded barrels to lower cost for breaks . Thinking 243 on the low and no more than the 30-06.

I'll take seconds.beautiful gun and i was just taking with Keith about building one.

Added the 260 to the list.

Thanks I finally figured it out.

For anyone willing to help fund the next giveaway gun any donations will be greatly appreciated.As a working man with a wife and daughter it gets hard to explain the money I put into the two guns I've donated but when you see the absolute thankfulness and appreciation that these kids show its worth every penny.

I can't believe not one for the 308 .Hits with close to the same energy as a 30-06 out to about 300 yds then the 06 shines

I was wondering when the 6.5 creed would get a recommendation.Good for deer and elk and soft on the shoulder for sure .But the 7-08 loaded with barnes 140-150 ttsx or tsx hit elk and deer hard.

Think it was a 6.5 creed if I'm not mistaken.

Looks like most are 7-08 or 270.Anyone have any experience with the ruger american line? There go wild line has a 7-08 with some good options that will keep the overall cost down .I'm curious as to how they shoot and function w/o having to replace anything like you'd have to do with the axis line .

They are outstanding for the ham hunts .You definitely get looks at the range when your shooting a contender,striker,or xp100 .Most have never seen one and are interested in how something that size can shoot such a big bullet.I can't believe I missed this one .I've been looking for one for a long time.

Your welcome !! ENJOY AND PUT IT TO GOOD WORK.
