  1. Hello,

    I am selling my 7mm mag Bergara ridge.  I have had the barrel threaded and I’ve added a Picatinny rail.  It’s a 1/2-3/4 moa shooter with quality ammo.  It’s in very good shape was was recently professionally cleaned
     

    asking $900 as is or $850 without the muzzle.  Reasonable offers will be considered 

     

    call or text frank 4809808399.  Please no IM’s, I don’t check this page a lot 


  2. Thanks everyone for the input, was able to harvest my first Elk on Saturday morning... about 2 miles east of the 82 rd in the middle part of the unit. Was one heck of an experience, and can't wait for the next opportunity this November in 20b for Deer.

     

     


  3. Hi all,

     

    My first Elk hunt ( cow) is next week, and am very excited. Done some pretty decent scouting and have picked out a few decent spots. What I was wondering is if anyone new just how crowded this unit gets during the october Cow hunt? 625 tags, and a fairly small unit in comparison to others in the state. Any other info on the unit is also appreciated.

     

     


  4. Well, not much to add here other than I have a cow tag ( 1st one ever) in 5B South... Any suggestions on areas to look in? All help appreciated. Can reciprocate with information on certain areas for Deer in 30B, 36A, and 27.

     

    Thanks!

    NOW I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE WHITETAIL IN UNIT 27 BUT THE TURKEY'S DURING THE FALL HUNT ALL MOVE DOWN SOUTH MOST OF THEM ANYWAY.

    NOW THE SPRING HUNT IS GOOD FOR THE NORTHERN PARTS OF 27

     

    Thanks for the tip, about 3 weeks late, but good nonetheless... will take that into account for next years Turkey hunt!!!!

    Um...Yes....

     

    This unit borders Mexico....

     

    The area from Nogales to the East is very hilly and mountaineous terrain.... I have seen Border patrol actually drive through the local golf course down there as we are golfing... looking for illegals. Be warry of the Santa Cruz River area, as well, as I myself have personally seen illegal traffic in that area.

     

     


  7. From a person who grew up in Tucson and has spent plenty of time hunting in units south of I-10....

     

    1. Don't scout/ hunt alone, always in pairs.

    2. Do not approach a group of folks who you assume to be illegal immigrants

    3. Call Border Patrol Immediately if you see a suspected group of illegals

    4. Keep an eye out for game trails AND human trails (yes they are out there and yes they are very evident)

    5. If confronted remember

    A. From a close border patrol frined of mine, Most illegals are NOT intent on doing you any harm, and are NOT running drugs, just folks looking for work

    B. He also says that its the 5% of them that will cause you trouble

    C. The 5% being those that are "mules" running packs of drugs

    D. Or the other half of the 5%, the Coyotes, the guys escorting the illegals, the guys with the guns

    5. With regard to the Glock 10MM poster, remember to think with your head first, not with your Glock...

    6. Either way use caution when in these areas and do not leave camp unattended or out of sight, the odds of your stuff being ransacked or robbed go up dramatically in this area... and by stuff, typically what is taken are food items or articles of clothing.....


  8. Fair enough... Fair enough.... I was kinda hoping the "locals" would maybe spend their nights in their local domiciles and leave the camping spots to us non-locals.... wishful thinking I suppose, and I don't blame them one bit, as it is beautiful country in that unit.... Only 275 permits or so for this hunt, so it shouldn't be all that bad... thats a big unit for such a small # of tags...


  9. Thanks for the post Snapshot. Understood about not wanting to give out specific spots.... While we are on the subject, how is the camping situation in the unit? I know up on the rim near Strayhorse and to the North it is wide open with lots and lots of spots... What about to the south? Are there areas to camp off of Juan miller road or off of the blue rd into the blue primitive area?

     

    Thanks again!
