Viper

I noticed last night that Scheels is carrying this now. I bought it "pick up in store" last night. Picked it up this morning. They had one left in inventory...fyi.

Hunting 36B in the Arivaca Lake area, late Nov. Covering tons of country from Ruby Rd to the border. Hunting with a friend that has hunted the area for 30 years and knows all the places to hunt. We are glassing 30 to 40 deer a day...all does and fawns. We did get on a decent buck this morning, but gave us the slip. Border Patrol officer we spoke to said it's a weird year. Said his theory is, since illegal activity is way down, the bucks aren't getting pushed out of the canyons. Plenty of food and water so they stay put. Makes sense. Any experience...theories?

We're camped on Arivaca Lake rd. About a mile before the lake. 2 5th wheel toyhaulers.

You down here now, Tony?

I agree. Seeing the same thing in 22.

We're hunting near arivaca lake. Joined a friend who has hunted the area for several years. It appears they haven't had much rain here.

Congrats! Hunting with kids is fun and very rewarding. Good job! I'll be heading down to 36b tomorrow for the after Thanksgiving hunt. The reports are not very encouraging. Sure beats working though.

What is the price?

Great story! Well worded...I felt I was there. Awesome ram! Congrats.

That's not good to hear! My 36B hunt starts the 28th. We plan to hunt around Arivaca Lake.

I'm interested in a rangefinder pouch, if my RF will fit. Do you get into Mesa much? I'm in E. Mesa and can meet half way.

Those are some instant kills! What bullet are you using? High shoulder shots?

I got an archery pig tag.

In 2023, I had an archery elk tag, which my brother from IN joined me. We had a great time, but the rut was very lackluster. While riding the sxs back to camp, my brother wrote this "article" regarding the poor rut, in Paul Harvey fashion. Elk Times Article Stand by for Mews On 15 September 2023, Elk Hunting Season kicked off as it has year after year as far back as anyone can remember. Hunters had anticipated this event all year and couldn’t wait to get started. What they didn’t know was... the rest of the story. In August there was an Annual Meeting between the Board of Bulls and the Council of Cow. President of the Board of Bulls Benjamin Bullwinkle made the following statement. "Every year we go through this ridiculous mating season which creates lots of fighting amongst our whole community. It seems as though we are stuck in a rut of some sort. Now, this may rub some of you the wrong way, others may get a chuckle but I am going to propose the following solution. I propose that Cows be divided equally amongst all Bulls that register prior to the Fall Equinox. This will eliminate the need for all the bugling, showing off, etc. There has been a Spike in noise complaints lately, so this should help. Ladies, you don’t always have to have the hunkiest Bull. Guys, you don’t have to have the hottest cows. I think we can all agree that this solution is best for our community." After this, a vote was taken and the proposal passed by a majority. Grunts, barks, glunking, and chuckling filled the room as they departed. Now you know, the rest of the story.

...

Not AI. He did this on his own. He's a witty guy.

Congrats! Nice bull.

Awesome hunt! Awesome buck! Way to stick with it.

I've been very happy with mine. I have 1000 rounds through it and still shooting 1/2 moa with handloads. I did use the AW2 reamer on it to fix the "clicker" issue. If I bought another new rifle, I would probably go a different route. Although, I read about quality issues with several other brands.

Wow! Awesome ram and awesome story! That guy that donated deserves Man of the Year award.

Would bed liner work? Probably be pricey. I'm thinking you would want dry lumber, which you can't find anymore at HD, Lowes... unless it's pressure treated. I'll have to do my trailer soon.

That is an awesome mount! Why would you part with it?!

I've had this a while and used it some. Folds flat for easy transport. I keep it in the box so it doesn't get beat up. Near new condition. New, it cost $130. Sell for $75. Val Vista & Southern, E Mesa area.
