Some great trade offers, but nothing I need at this time. I will lower the price to $600 picked up. Any lower I will keep it in the safe. Thanks for lookin Whitey

NewHunter, good luck finding a gun. I knew when I said that a "300 wsm would be a better elk choice" that people would chime in with "my uncle billy-bob shoots elk with a .243"......etc either the .270wsm or 300 wsm would make you a great Arizona rifle. If I were going to have one I would go with the 300 if you can handle the recoil. (I have both and I can't tell the difference in the recoil) Good luck. I don't know what price you were offered on the weatherby, but keep in mind you can buy it brand new for $399 Good luck, and welcome to the hunting world were everyone has an opinion............. whitey

My advice would be to do it right the 1st time and be done. If you buy a cheap scope you will be looking to upgrade in a very short time. At that point you will have to re-sight in the new one, and figure out turrets, aiming points, etc........ Just my .02 cents As far as cal. the .270wsm or 300wsm would both be great choices for an Arizona rifle. The determining factor would be elk; if you see yourself hunting elk with it I would go with the 30 cal, if not I would go with the .270 wsm. good luck in your search, and welcome to the sight.....

Well done. Give us some details...... ie, singles, how many stands, mouth calls/ecaller, any get away??? I hope you did the calling; I don't think the dogs could hear "whisper" well done... Whitey

I attempted to upload pics, but it said " file type not permitted" No big deal, picture of two dead fox being held up by a kind of ugly guy... me.

A true Az. trophy!

I know it is a difficult question to answer without seeing the binos, and their conditon. However, I am curios as to what the resale value would be for a black pair of Doctor 15x60 would be?????? They are several years old, but in good condition. I have a feeling that I will probably keep them as a second pair, but I am wondering what they might sell for. Let me know what you think.... Whitey

I hunted north of Phx for 3 days. (Sat, Sun Mon) I found bucks rutting does every day. On Sunday PM I watched 5 bucks all together fighting over one hot doe. I would say it is on.

If you can only swing one, go with the 15s. That being said, you really need both. There will be many times when you glass a buck with the 15s and you just can't tell if it is big enough to go after. Again, If I had to pick one it would be the 15s, but you really need both. P.S. Like RR stated the Vortex Kaibabs are very good for the money. Whitey

I shoot the 130 accubond in mine and am very pleased with it. I would not shoot the 130 for elk, but I have bigger 30 cal.s for elk. At any rate, I love mine and would feel good about shooting anything in Arizona smaller than elk out to 800 yards. Whitey

I am going to keep this one short and sweet: I was out archery hunting this morning for mule deer and had a couple of 1st happen. I glassed up a buck, while putting a stock on him I walked up on a coyote. I shot him at 61 yards (1st coyote with a bow) I missed the buck, but who's counting. My hunting partner called on the radio and said he had another buck bedded with a doe. As we watched the two deer and planned a stock my partner calls on the radio and says he sees a big bobcat stalking the deer, then the deer jump up and chase this bobcat up a tree. Craziest darn thing ever!!!!!!!! I blow the stock on the big buck two more times after that, but a great day none the less. Whitey

Punkin head of a tom! How about a short story to go with the pics. That country looks familiar to me. Just south of Yuma??? Nice lion Whitey
-
Go shoot them all and see what feels good to you. I have had 7 bows in the last two years and I keep shooting the pse xforce 6 for spots, 3-d and hunting. I love it, but don't get to caught up with speed. buy the one that feels the best, and groups the best for you. Whitey

Congrats on a great buck!! Is is just me or have there been a ton or 4point and 5 point bucks killed this year?? Nice looking rig as well, (270 wsm is my favorite wt rifle, at least for this week) Congrats again. Whitey
-
Holy captain hook. That drop main beam is cool, he will look great on your wall. Congrats. The mass is what will push the score on that buck. I think your field score is pretty close, (105-106) let us know when you tape him, but like others have stated, it does not matter what he scores he is a way cool looking buck. Congrats again, Whitey

The Hard Way, Lion Buck
lionhunter replied to Coues 'n' Sheep's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Congrats to Savannah, great buck! Maybe we could catch the lion, throw it in the lite-rail car with the POS that beat her up, and see how tough the guy is..... (Just an idea??) In all seriousness, way to stay with that buck. Whitey
