It’s a big hoax. Don’t fall for it.

An AZ muzzleloader is just as effective as a rifle for antelope. There isn’t an antelope out there you can’t get to 300 yards from if you have a day to mess with them. In my opinion it’s a better tag then rifle since you get first crack at the biggest bucks.

Your odds look like to be between 3% for the top end units to 12% for 3b (the easiest one). The only exception is you’d have like a 22% in unit 12 but I dunno the story on the antelope up there. I’ve drawn 19a early twice, once with 2 points and once with 6. So it’s possible.

Got it! Good call. A 20gauge is more then capable of it, especially if they’re decoying decent. It’s been a really tough year for snows as the long late spring last year made for a tough hatch. Essentially no juvenile birds at all. If you get a little weather or something you could still get some to decoy but expect some long shooting most likely if it’s adult birds.

This sounds cool. I’m in ND and it’s gonna be -15 this weekend but the cold makes for clear air so I’ll point mine south and see if I can see you guys!

Good luck in Missouri! You’re gonna shoot your 20 Guage for spring snows?

Sorry you are correct!! I thought it was an old polychoke! Winchester made some from the factory that had a “winlight” choke but I think that was in the model 59. Bump for a nice gun at a good price

That bad boy is any choke you want it to be. At just the turn of a wrist

We are going out of Westport this summer as well!

Does he have a statewide, year long, any weapon, either species tag again this year?

Well put Brian. It’s interesting to actually hear “the whole story” on these things. What the heck are the odds that of the only two tags like this in the entire state, with 365 days a year to hunt that you guys would end up on this buck at the same time on the same day!?!! I realize that coues bucks of this class aren’t behind every tree so it’s possible but man that is unlikely! Good luck with the rest of the hunt and thanks for your support of AZ wildlife.

That exact same argument could be made from someone who can’t afford a $120 elk tag from the state. Drawing the line at what you personally can afford doesn’t it any different that you too are buying a public resource.

If I’m not mistaken Wyoming commissioner tags allow you to hunt only with the open weapon during the open season. So either they were breaking the law or you were bowhunting during the rifle season.

Holy crap!!!! This is incredible!! I’d be willing to pitch in $50 to that guy to buy him something cool if you wanna start a go fund me!! Way cool!!!

You can call me whatever name you want. I’m a fiscal republican, can give a crap less who someone wants to screw, where they want to go to church, or what color their skin is, I have two gigantic safes full of “assualt rifles” and high cap mags, I don’t for a second believe they banning them is gonna help society in any way, I wear carhartt pants and T shirts, I farm a few hundred acres and am an army veteran. If you wanna pigeon hole me as a “hipster” and put everyone in that group as “against the cause” then you are definitely missing the big picture.

A hunting trip without a place to go a season to hunt in or an animal to hunt is just a hike at best whether you’ve got a gun in your hand or not, and certainly regardless of the capacity of the magazine. Once again, re read the post. Do it slow if you have to to keep up. The original post was about whether someone was anti gun because they were democrat. My take home point is that we need as many hunters as we can get on our side. The fact of the matter is that the largest growing sector of hunters are essentially hipsters who vote a different color then we do, but they are the key to the future of hunting.

Re read the post. I prioritize hunting, public land access and habitat for wildlife above gun rights. I own somewhere around 50 high capacity magazines. At least a dozen AR-15’s, but I am not about to alienate and entire group of people who are pro hunting because they vote a different color then me.

+1. If any of you guys ever thought Rinella was anything but a Democrat you’ve had your heads in the sand. There’s a big push of democrat hunters out there, not saying you have to join them, but they’re better on your side then against it in my opinion. If I had to pick between losing my right to hunt and losing my right to have a 30 rd mag for my AR-15 I can assure you my AR mags are out the window. For all of you saying that you shouldn’t have to choose, I agree, but unfortunately time’s a changin. We WILL lose rights over so called “assault rifles”, it’s coming sooner or later. I’m a card carrying member of the NRA and a staunch fiscal republican, but I also realize the writing is on the wall. We need people like Rinella, BHA and their gang of hipster hunters if we are ever going to have a chance at having a hunting future. You can be an all or nothing lemming, or you can think for yourself and prioritize what’s important in your life.

8” at 60 isn’t terrible. Don’t listen to that guy. Keep practicing. Spend your money on gas and time off. Limit your shots to 40 and just get out as much as possible.

I can’t believe this hasn’t sold!! Heck of a good deal!

I would have a lawyer get ahold of that tannery. I think $10k would be a bargain for a life size desert bighorn cape (if you could ever find one) and in my opinion “my” cape would be worth far more then any replacement if this happened to me. They have insurance for this type of thing, part of the deal when you’re in that type of business. Good luck with finding one. This really really sucks.

Awesome!! Congrats!

Sounds like you might have pinpointed the reason the deer in there are untouched!!

I’m thinking of booking a Mexico trip for Jan 2020. I’d like to bring my dad and a buddy. They are both mid 60’s and in decent to crappy shape. They both still hunt hard in ND (pretty easy) and can get around enough to kill an elk each year, but they couldn’t hike several miles a day. Anyone hunt any ranches they would recommend that are a little flatter or have some half butt road access on them? I know I’ve seen a few pics on here of some guys hunting some really flat ranches. Any place where they high rack them? I know I’m setting myself up to get flamed here but not trying to be lazy just wanna find a place I can hunt with my pops. Thanks in advance!
