Think 5 points is enough for me to get a Kaibab elk tag?!?

Very cool. I've got a model 53 in 25-20 that I inherited from my grandpa. I've always wanted to kill something with it. Javelina will be perfect for it!!

I edited my post. It was nearly 70 lbs with 10 liters of water. If you are interested, I can send you a copy of my gear list for this hunt. Here is a quick summary: - Pack: 4.88 lbs - Shelter and Sleeping Gear: 7.45 lbs - Packed clothing: 2.38 lbs - Optics: 13.77 lbs (10s, 15s, and 85mm Spotter) - Rifle: 12.2 lbs - Other Gear: 3.5 lbs - Water: 22 lbs - Food: 3.5 lbs I did not bring my cook kit since I was conserving as much water as possible. If anyone is interested, I don't mind sharing my comprehensive gear list. It includes weight, cost, nutrition, pie charts, etc. Pie charts?!? When I backpack I always bring pie, but never enough to where I need a chart to keep it organized.

I'll take the 16ga. Pm sent.

Am I the only one that woulda seen that coming??

Wow!!!

Sub 4" groups at 1000? You probably should take that field gun to an F class championship and set a few world records there bro..... Not saying your full of it. Just saying that you aren't averaging sub 4" groups at 1000.

Me too. The most expensive one in AZ!!

They sure look cool. Can someone enlighten me on he single bevel vs double theory? Seems like it would be stronger but not as sharp but that's just my little mental picture of something with two bevels vs one cutting something!!!

That's incredible!!

The spike thing has been proven false over and over. Especially in desert muleys that don't rut till January and don't fawn until August. Those yearlings are hardly a year old and are lucky to get any antlers let alone spikes. Spikes have absolutely no bearing on genetics or antler size down the road. My dad and I used to raise eastern whitetais and one of our best bucks (229") was a spike his first year. He was born late (July) and had a tough time catching up to the other animals of his age class that first year. He grew spikes his first year and then blew up after that.

Son of a biscuit.

Awesome Buck! Congrats! Does that guy always get that pissed off when he shoots 196 bucks!?!

That eurasian is SOOOOOO cool!!

I'm still not getting this. Aren't a lot of the east side of 17 units "any antlered"? Who says she didn't shoot it in 20c and just think it's a coues? No law for ignorance. If she's got a WT tag on it its a different story. I know that's a mistake none of us would make but hunters need to start somewhere. If she was legal then it doesn't matter if she's stupid. I had a hunter bring in a juvenile speckle belly one time when I was cleaning birds for extra money in high school, he thought it was a hen mallard. He was under his limit on both, so nothing illegal, but stupid. Yes.

I understand that is a mistake that shouldn't be made, but isnt it possible that they had an any antlered tag? Not sure which unit it was but if it's a youth hunt I think some of them are any antlered.

Great Buck!!

I'd buy this thing if you could get it to ND!

These things are so cool. This shouldnt last long. If I wasn't in ND I'd be all over this.

No such thing.

Educate me on this gun please? I'm not understanding the purpose, looks to be the same weight, ergonomics and aesthetics as an AR but it's a bolt action. I guess I don't know why you'd lug that around without atleast getting the benefit of semi auto?

I used to work at scheels when I was in college. They are very good about training their employees. We had product education almost every other night. If you didn't know your stuff you got fired. It bothers me to no end to go into cabelas or sportsmans and see this little dorks who don't know a magnum rifle primer from their sisters titty try to sell me something.

I thought San Carlos was like 36k? Yeah I don't think they'll even let you look at them for $15k

My $0.02 is it should be illegal to hunt without a bipod. I've seen more wounded animals and missed shots to a poor rest then anything else.

Dave and Dan Acosta at Acosta electric. They go by ruthunter and desertbucks on here. Great electricians, even better hunters, and even better guys.
