The right ... and in fact the LEGAL thing to do ... is to notify AZGFD. Fact is, you can't even find a skull out in the woods and keep it if there is any hair/hide on it without notifying AZGFD so they can investigate. You will get it if THEY say so ... or not if they don't. But if a guy who's a site member finds a downed animal and posts that he's found one, asking if anyone has lost one ... what's to get mad about??? That's all I'm asking. Me ... I'd notify AZGFD and give them coordinates to the kill. Whether yotebuster's buddy did that or not I can't say. But I'd sure hate to put on a site that I found one and have somebody jump my butt. Sounds like you worked it all out, and that is good ... but I hope you learned something from the experience ... namely that not everybody out there is an A Hole. Some of us hunters are actually out to help a brother out ... y'know??? I hope you find your Bull ... the guy/gal who cut the head off and walked has a lot of problems ... both legally and ethically ... he/she may or may not be ignorant of the law ... but they can't be that ignorant of right and wrong.

Why get pissed when someone offers help?

Take the .280 to the next level if you are reloading your own (or even not, as Nosler loads them) and go with the .280AI.

Consider your MC revoked Nut ... that's jut plain WRONG!!!!

.22-250 is a great gun for Coues. Little small for Mulies unless the shot is right ... though someone is going to say I'm nuts and it's just fine. .243 is good, but you can get a gun with wider range by going to a .260 or 7-08 with not much more kick. You could always put a brake on it too.

The Wicked Witch of the West ... Dianne Feinstein ... is back on her Broom. Yeah ... the trouble with them going after guns this time is the guy used Biden's Weapon of Choice for his Wife ... though I guess not the Double Barrel.

Great Kaibab Buck. They still grow big up there. Absolute stud this one!!!!

Low cost custom is Remmy or Savage action. I'd sure look at Tikka T3 Super Lite if you'll do an off the shelf.

Seen a couple in Kaibab. One in 23. Never close enough for a decent shot though.

Beautiful buck.

My guess, since he's getting "killed" on this site and on MM, he's probably hesitant to post anything. On a positive note, has anyone seen the bucks posted from 21??? Those are great bucks!!! No jealousy there, so that theory of "bashing" bites the dust.

I love it.

Yes! And while we are it...who is the most ethical and why? What is the best rifle? What's wrong with Obama? And last but not least....what do and don't you like about game and fish? Please be creative hahaha The most ethical is the person who does it right when no one else is around. The best rifle is the one that does it's job when I do mine. Obama is the worst President in my lifetime, and perhaps all time. Fish and Game ... well ... they try hard I guess ... but it sure seems like the numbers of animals have dropped over the years.

Very nice.

She's a bit young boys .... come on!!!!!

Where are you located?

How exactly would one go about this? After hearing his crybaby tirades in his "Town Halls" I think its obvious he does not represent his constituents and needs to be removed.

Bone ... it is supposed to be. But that never stopped Yogi!!!!

not for the streets, meaning not "street legal"?

You can do both ... reticles are probably quicker, but turrets will get you out farther. Having both is a bonus.

Now that is what I call a Dandy of a Speed Goat!!!! Congrats.

Sounds like this deer was well know for being hand fed, petted, etc. I'd say that is "tame", as it has lost its fear of humans. Again ... whether this guy knew it or not is another question.

I used to love the Border Units ... not anymore. Good luck to you. Sounds like this one is better than the one that I used to hunt (Arivacca).

Some day, I will buy a Winchester 1895 converted to .35 Whelen or .338-06. That will be my "go to" hunting in the junipers rifle.

Not sure people here are jealous ... but I think a lot are concerned about the circumstances. Bonecollector ... if your buddy shot a big coues he should put it on here. I'd guess there aren't any dubious circumstances on his hunt, and I love to see big deer taken and hear the story. Legal or not legal ... that is one question, and one that needs an answer. Ethical or not ethical ... I guess everyone will have a slightly different opinion on that. Me ... I'm not shooting a tame deer, whether it is on legal dirt or not. Of course, that is assuming that I know it is a tame deer ... and there are some people making assumptions that this guy knew I. I'm not saying he did or didn't, but maybe someone should ask ... When I hunt myself, I have some self imposed rules. I'm not shooting a spike, or a two point, or even a little 3x3. That is just me ... I'll let them grow into something I'm proud to show/post. I hunted 15 or more years before I got my first deer. It wasn't because I didn't see deer I could shoot, and it wasn't because I didn't have skill to take/make a shot. I passed up many, many deer over the years until I saw one that I could ethically take that met my requirements for a "mature buck". Go ahead ... take a pot shot and call me an idiot. I don't care. You are entitled to your opinion. I don't impose my rules on others ... just on myself. Now for my boys, who are young ... I'd let them take something smaller ... but not too much smaller.
