Won a gift cert for Shooters World thru a donation raffle for Hope Effect and since i had been looking at these i went for it. Now i realize i just do not need it 1 bit. If anybody needs a last-minute Christmas present here you go $460 cash no trades unless a Thompson Center Encore stainless 24 inch or better 45-70 Barrel can be applied towards price North Phx. No shipping

I have 7mm-08 for myself and my wife and looking at the numbers i am sticking with 7-08 rather than jumping on that 6.5 train. I just like my dang tikka superlite so much i doubt i will ever shoot this 1. This gun is super cool looking and i have read good things so if doesn't sell i am sure 1 of my kiddos will be shooting it. I was not happy with stock when i got it home i noticed the barrel channel,no,matter what i did was tight on 1 side so called Ruger and although a slight delay cuz they forgot to ship or some such thing they did send me a new 1 for it. Gr8 customer service they asked for picture and sent tracking number in same mssg L.O.L. Again she is not used! I did open box and put bolt in and operate bolt and trigger and they sure are better than tbose original 1st year ruger americans that sounded and felt like gravel

Still have this available. -
1st i believe donor wants to go so hopefully he knows more than i about 13b. 2nd i may have some guide assistance but sounds like he will be quite busy this hunt with many clients and some industry folks so i'm kinda freaking out. (maybe he has 20 guys working for him im not sure) Normally a hunter has months to prepare! I have 2 weeks till hunt and it starts 2 days after cast comes off and stitches removed from toe fuse metatarsal removal and achilles reconstruction so hiking is out... Out as in no freaking way! Water sitting will be a must! I aint complaining but i surely wanna make something of this tag!!! A goant muley has always ALWAYS been my #1 hunt dream and this is a incredible opportunity so i would like to get a nice buck but at same time it will not take much to beat my best buck. :] Pain is not the deal, i can handle pain quite well but can't handle making foot worse this is kinda my last chance with fixing it so gotta be good boy. Wish me luck and feel free to pm info and don't worry im 98% sure i will never make it back there again. If i ever did return i would always check with person before using their spot. Hopefully i will have pictures to show off. Thanks, Mike

*Bull Elk Blessing from donated tag, oh wait... aka Casey's favortism conspiracy theory post.
hoghntr posted a topic in Elk Hunting
Man tough hunt! Pre rut activity in end of dang September. Rifle hunt. Was getting nerve block in hip openeing morn cuz pain so,bad,night before i couldn't sleep. I had high hopes this procedure would help me get around a bit better so 1 day wasted and rain was coming soon. All night bulls screaming and the moon was bright. Sat morn bulls talking but not coming to calls. I managed to hobble into a couple bulls that were chatty and dang they were in thick stuff and maybe 50 yards.. I see a nice tall 6x6 with short points but tall so i get scope on him in small opening and wait to make sure all is clear but when he dropped his head to eat a rump was at his neck line... Then up out of brush comes a giant whale tail bulls head (350ish) he was standing perfectly beside the 6. 😕 My buddy whispered something to me and when i moved my head i think the sun behind me caused flicker cuz the 6 just spun head and looked at me. I got back in the scope and the toad bull was standing straight away only presenting Texas heart shot and sorry but i'd rather have good meat then the big rack. Sat. night i sat water and 1 fox visited & a G&F guy who politely backed out but i heard same guy walked right in on aquaitence in same unit opening morn of archery. 😡 Sun morn i fully expected to shoot 1 of those bulls from Saturday.. We saw 2 monsters driving in but juat not enough light for,my aging eyes then silence fell upon the woods. Sunday night sat water and thundering bull bugles echoed out 30min before dark but not in the kind of country i could try and pursue them in with bad leg and it was clear nobody was coming to water. Monday morning after a sleepless night from sorta warm weather and a annoying loud bull we set out to try and chase bugles. Unfortunately my leg was super bad, the block helped till anathesia wore off tjen back to pain so walking was super slow and every time we got to bugles they had moved 500 yards. I told buddy (bowhunter4life) i was done and i think it's time to go home cuz pain was too bad so he asked if he should go grab the truck.. I was frustrated, how can 1 go to unit 👉9👈 with a rifle and get no bull? so i said let me take some medicine and rest foot 30 minutes and he kinda backed off and gave me room to vent my frustrations a bit. Well while venting i chose to continue a conversation with i believe the bull who kept me awake the night before. we had just spoke with him and i had even raked his rub a bit while screaming at him and he wasn't so happy. I continued screaming the bugle loud directly at him and buddy hit cow call here and there 30 yards behind me and son of a gun suddenly the screamer was 100 yards off and on same level as i so i figured this bull was in play! My buddy came over and said he is close and i was like YUP! He says can ya do it and i said meds worked lets do it. Well we walked straight at bugle which was now in a draw 150 yards or so off. I screamed loud on bugle everytime he spoke and you could tell he was not very happy with me. Suddenly after a different squeaky bull spoke we saw a spindly bull (which i would have shot) suddenly dart from thick cover and just vanish we hit bugle and the bigger bull screamed back from dead ahead maybe 60-80 yards. I got down on ground and scanned with binocs then scope and could see what sure looked like legs, belly and lower shoulders of elk. I got super low and put scope on shoulder/chest cuz facing me slighly quartering left and i asked buddy to hit bugle.. Well as soon as Mike bugled the bull buggled and his belly and balls bounced confirming target and the 300wm barked!! He ran out with leg flying all over the place. We got on his trail and found 2 tiny blood drops of blood in 40 or 50 yards.. I was frustrated and was like what the heck man i just smacked him with a 200 grain bullet at point blank kinda range and i get 2 drops of blood? Just then buddy slapped me and was like right there he is!!! Maybe 10 yards to my left. L.O.L. When Mike went for his truck to see if he could get in to us i rolled the bull over and found a busted arrow shaft and broadhead that was festering out of upper shoulder. So he is not the biggest bull but i am dang proud of him. I absolutely love this bull and the fact that i received the tag the day before the hunt started and have never hunted elk in 9, i had a nerve block the morning the hunt started, i still have post op foot! I'm way blessed to have a friend willing to drop everything and go help and a wife willing to let me drop everything and go hunt. Blessed Blessed Blessed and so very thankful. i know many people that donated tags this year were just wanting better antler/horn growth but in this case i believe it was illness so please pray for the donor. Thanks As you can tell by the boiling pot i am playing catch up with my own personal harvests so i can make room for meat, heck i even did my bison after these and it was from 2016 :]- 61 replies

*Bull Elk Blessing from donated tag, oh wait... aka Casey's favortism conspiracy theory post.
hoghntr replied to hoghntr's topic in Elk Hunting
L.O.L. that is Casey for ya, implications and finger pointing is what he does. I don't know Eddy very well at all actually. Have met him i believe 3 or 4 times in person to get tags and once at banquet. If i had physically been able to hunt the strip i really doubt this bull tag would have come to me. But again for the folks who can't get it threw their skulls thousands of vets don't qualify for these tags or have not filled out applications with organizations participating or they are not hunters. Out of the vets that do qualify and are registered in participating program how many can travel the day after a tag is handed to them? Physically many are unable at the time of the hunt as i have been unable multiple times. OE4A i would say is geared way more towards kiddos and i see plenty of them with some awesome critters posted on f.b. if you follow the oe4a organization you would know this rather than talking favortism on here. I happen to be the only 1 who gets donated tags that is stupid enough to try and share the experience and pictures with this obnoxious, disresoectdul, jealous crowd. I do wish it were possible to switch places with a few of you physically for a year or so and let you experience life from my physical perspective.. I would live to see someone like Casey at Physical Therapy 3x a week dor hour or 2 each visit, or at the pain clinic every 2 weeks dor injections of lidocaine-steroid-torradol, or getting infusions when he gets back from a hunt because he pushed it to much trying to have some what of a normal life doing what he loves, i would love to see him or any of the like button pushers on the favortism post to have to use prednisone to walk then suffer the consequences of 5 hip surgeries because of necrosis (dead, collapsed bone) from the only drug that helped him walk to hunt or even be able to visit Disneyland with his family.. Would love to see Casey or any of you crap talkers have to go lay down and drop your pants and get a nerve block in his hip on opening morning of his early rifle bull elk hunt because he wants to be able to do it without falling all day long.. Let us not forget the knee braces, compression stockings, back braces, canes, crutches you take just incase. If any of you would be willing to accept this for a premium tag you happen to get because you are eligible and available well then i also suggest a good psychiatrist cuz something is seriously wrong with you. Since the same few as always decide to talk crap and try and tarnish the name of a man who does great things for disabled hunters of Arizona i will go ahead and keep my future hunt success to myself. Really some of you just flat out disgust me. I do hope none of you actually find yourself in this situation trust me the hopes of a good tag do not outweigh the struggles of being sick. -

100% service connected vets can also be eligible. Also sick kiddos is where the donated tags originated from. I do not know what AES has as their standards but G&F does have eligibility requirements. -
Jim does very nice work.

I killed this 1 with rifle but found shaft and broadhead in him from archery week or 2 earlier. It was all pre rut action where we were kinda crazy. G&F guy said not sure cows will even reach estrus this year in 9 cuz bodys totally lacking fat needed. Plenty of bugling but no bulls charging in on you for sure. Would love to see it right now and see if has changed since weather came.

High right front shoulder but since i sorta blew up the whole shoulder with the 300wm i am not sure it was even in bone. When i rolled the bull over the broadhead and shaft were just loose in there and were actually being pushed out my infection and stinky nastiness. Seriously it was as if you or i had a little cactus needle in us that was festering out a week or 2 later. I can only assume it had hit top of his shoulder and stopped that is why such a short piece of shaft but also maybe deflection and poor penetration or a hail mary long shot?? The area was pretty thick. I can tell you he was acting like any normal bull so i sure was suprised when i saw the broadhead in him.. I'm thinking you shoot me anywhere in my body with a broadhead and i am going down! 😯 tough beasts they are. Also the infection was localized/confined to small area of tissue surrounding broadhead which was good to see.

Thanks! It all happened so fast i'm still staring at him like "did all that just happen?" i am verry happy with him and can't wait for the steaks. I killed my bison in 16 and had all primes done to keep butcher cost down so have had to be quite burger creative. 😂 -
Very nice! That pic i posted guy was looking for taxi for rug so figured it was you. Beautiful bear you got DANG...
-
G_E_E if it makes you feel better they are crazy tough animals. Found this in my bull this year i'm sure he picked it up during archery hunt in couple prior weeks. His body was just pushing it out
-
That bull was beautiful! Somebody has been seriously bummed about that loss since shortly after 1st blood. quartering away is 🎯 bummer if i can't find my animal i always head to nearest water.

Love it man!!! Euro that and always have something goofy hanging off it 👍👍👍

Someone in C.V. really likes stealing antlers! Ask the guys that live there
