Az is part of the interstate wildlife pact so if you lose your privileges on any one you lose it in all. Those you stated are also part. 45 states or so.

Different type of Doves down there, ours don't migrate to there. We actually killed a banded duck in Uruguay once. It was on a teal and it was a mallard sized band that the over crimped to fit. It just said the word "Brazil" and a bunch of numbers. The bird boys and outfitter had never seen one out of the tens of thousands of ducks they shoot!!!

Get a couple days to scout ahead of time. That is one of if not the best antelope tags in the world. He should be able to kill a great buck and not just a representative buck. You can go to Montana or Wyoming and shoot a representative buck every year, take some extra time to get up and scout a big one, be there at opening light and get him killed. Good luck and post pics!!This is the best advice you could get on antelope hunting. If you don't put a buck to bed don't expect to go find your 2nd or 3 choice buck. An antelope hunt done right should be over within the first 15 minutes of legal light. Find a toad. Sleep with him and kill him in the morning.Everyone is welcome to their own opinion, but I could not disagree more with this statement. All of my antelope hunts have been similar, I decided that hunting was more important to me than killing. I took time to find bucks in out of the way places with less pressure or to hunt after opening weekend. On the AZ tags I have been a part of we spent time looking bucks over, played cat and mouse for days and ended up killing with shots under 200 yds. For me it was just more important to have a hunt than to execute a trophy like a grazing cow from 1,000 yds. Everyone told me to put him to bed and get it done early, I didn't, and I am really happy I didn't. And I ended up with a decent buck. I don't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure your buck was far better than 'decent'. Flatlanders buck was a giant in my book! I will say however that your hunt was in a unit with very few tags as opposed to unit 10 so it would be a tough comparison to make. There aren't very many 87" bucks in unit 10 on a given year and most of them are gonna go down on opening morning. If he's happy with a mid 70's buck then he could go anytime and kill one in there but what I was trying to say is that one can go to Wyoming or Montana any given year and kill a buck like that so if he wanted to make the most of his tag (in regards to size of animal) then he better pick one out before season and try to get him killed right away in the am. I never said anything about 1000 yard shots and never will. Just be ready to make the most of your opportunities within your comfort zone. I drew one of the best Wyoming antelope tags this year and I'm beyond jealous of anyone with even the worst AZ tag!!! It really is that good in AZ.

This is cool!!!

Wow! That looks better then 15 mourning doves to me!

Awesome buck! Great story to boot!

Can you plug it?

Second dibs if it falls through.

Just got my buck back from last year. I think it turned out great. I wanted to hang him next to my 2010 buck from the same unit. Shot them about 2 miles apart. My 2010 buck was DIY and last year I hired the Priest brothers to help me out since i was coming down from ND. Great guys and fun to hunt with. Hoping I can get lucky and get another tag someday!

Yeah I guess!!!

Does it say $1100 now? Thought it was $450 before?

Sorry about the sideways pics. Still not sure how that happens or how to fix it.

I'd take it but I'm in ND and not sure how I'd get it.

What the heck are you guys looking at on the internet?!?

I have a 3-18 vx6 on mine with a turret. Love it!!

Wow! I only stayed in the blind for 150 hours for my hunt in hopes of killing a bull like that! Guess I shoulda sat 10 more!!

I think that's a tooth.

I've got two of them. They used to make a kit to put a new barrel on them and stock to make them into a 17hmr. I always kicked around doing that with one to keep the original stock and barrel cherry. I also have a 77/17 wsm and a 77/17 hornet. They are all worth over a grand now as they quit making all of them. Same with the 96/22 and 96/22 magnum I've got a couple of those as well. I think ruger is doing what Winchester did in the 1964 and retooling to start making junk at a lower price point like all the new "American rifle" series. Don't get me wrong they are good guns at a good price but man are they ugly looking plastic things compared to a 77 series.

Don't forget to buy a lifetime license before you go. It will pay for itself in 4 years.

My guess is they have something up their sleeve for culling cows and yearlings on the park and therefore are making the off park hunts bull only. That July bull hunt is gonna be a stomper! Burn your points now fellas!!!!

Anyone there? Musta got my phone number wrong cuz I haven't gotten my phone call yet. Oh well I'm sure they can email me. Just hoping I don't win antelope deer sheep and elk all in the same year. I'd like them spread out over the next few years.

I think the antelope guy musta been from ND too, he was walleye fishin on devils lake up here. I'm up here in ND not winning jack squat. Im pretty sure he had no idea what he had won! I can't believe how calm those guys all were. They'd have to cut me off the air! I can't imagine the heartbreak of the guy that got the javelina voicemail. "This is the big game super raffle, congrats you were selected for a 365 day season to hunt...... javelina....."

Me too. That movie is painful to watch. Anyone else rooting for that deer more then the hunter and his mouthbreathing flatty wearing buddy? OP- atleast talk to some of the guides about a scouting package. You have the best deer tag in the world, beg steal or borrow some money and get some help on that hunt! Just to put it into perspective if that tag was sold at an auction like Utah does (I'm not saying that's a good idea just using it as an example) the tag would bring $30,000+. You won the lotto by drawing it, make the most of it.

What's blue about that?!? I'd be stoked either way! He mad cuz his son drew it?
