Selling my 15x56 SLCs. They are in great shape. I bought them new in 2008.

We picked up 3 left over tags for Southern AZ early Nov Coues. My brother-in-law Jeremy found this buck on the second morning moving through an opening. He initially guessed him at about 85 and decided not to go after him. Later that day he decided the buck needed another look and he made the decision to go and try to find him again. He set up with a vantage point of where he thought the buck was traveling. It took Jeremy all of about 5 minutes to find the buck again and he decided it was worth shooting. He shot the buck at 240 yards. Bucks scores right at 100. He was by himself when he shot the buck, thats why pictures are only of the deer. I glassed this buck up on day 5 of the hunt. We watched the buck bed and had to move in to get a shot. The closest we could get without losing a vantage on him was 570 yards. I have practiced out to 600 yards so I was confident I could make the shot. I got set up, we could only see the bucks head so I had to wait for him to stand up. Well fortunately I only had to wait about 5 minutes. The buck stood up facing directly away, well like a good buck he turned broadside and I touched off the weatherby, Jeremy watched the bullet smack him. Taped him later that night at 78. We were ready to head home the next day so Chris decided to go ahead and shoot the next buck found. At least come home with some meat. This little 2 point decided to give Chris a 409 yard shot. Chris set up for the shot and touched off the 250. I was able to watch the buck drop in his tracks. At Camp... Thanks for looking.....

My brother found a dead bull in unit 8, looks like it was killed a few days ago, still has arrow in it. Its a decent bull. If you shot one or know someone who did contact me and describe the arrow and we will take you to it.

Happy ending to this...It was decided to proceed with this by getting G&F involved. The WM was given the GPS Coordinates and he went out did an investigation, cut the horns off, and retrieved the arrow. The WM met the shooter at the Flag office, verified his arrows and broadheads were the same and gave him the rack. This bull was unofficially scored at 367 and change. Hope he doesn't mind me posting some pics because I didn't ask!! Congrats to the hunter. Hopefully this means good karma for Matt and Mike on their upcoming hunt.

The owner of this bull has been found thanks to CW.

Unfortunately this one is more than likely not the one...This one is a pretty good distance from where the other was shot.
