Too bad I was in Tucson yesterday and would have been more than happy to have done that. Especially since I was in my work vehicle.

Congrats, great pictures.

I haven't hunted scaled quail in almost 30 years but really enjoyed it because it seems like they flew in a straight consistent pattern. I always use #6 though for quail.

I found some like that way up on a hill in some gray rock near Pinto Creek.

One for the books, congrats all around.

Is is 480 VAC or 4160?

Great story, you had me hanging on every word.

I have Slip 2000 and didn't care for it. I usually use MPRO7,

Doggy door maybe?

They are a good target load. I saw a buddy have the same problem with 150's in a 300 Weatherby in the early 90's on a Coues at 400 yards. They just are too explosive.

Without knowing what units have leftover tags?

LOL, Can't even get through on the phone.

2400 is the classic 44 powder.

I would not use a HP, they are not hard to kill so I would use a 180 or 240 jacketed bullet with an exposed flat lead tip.

Sometimes I think G&F could piss of the pope.

Success.

Make sure your vehicle is in good shape and tires are good. If you are going solo let someone know where you will be and check in daily. Double check your gear, make a list and keep it with you every day before you go to add to and check off. Make a point to stop in and say hello to other camps close to you. Don't forget bullets, signed tag, license, rifle, knife and game bags. +1 on staying out all day. Map, compass and gps. Know where game processors are if you are not going to do that yourself.

As opposed to driving in each day?

So you're the one! JK. I just checked and got right in, but it still was quirky.

I have one I bought at Dicks a few years ago. It is just a foam pad and was about $5.

What trigger does it have in it?

I have done this in the past and just relocate them a few miles away. They will pee like crazy out of fear when you pick up the trap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc0mi0Ei1CQ

Gotta support the fam. Guess the other two workers had tags too. I always tell the young guys coming up in the trades, always be 15 minutes early and never call in sick on a Friday or Monday.

Great story about the rifle. I did a similar thing earlier this year with a 30-30 I bought 25 years ago for $100 from a friend after he started hinting about it. I also had a BAR but in 300 Win Mag I bought in the early 90's, a real jam-o-matic. Nice buck BTW.

I have a buddy who lives up there, hopefully one of these years I'll go and have as much fun as you did.
