Josh, I have noticed a bunch of cats out this past weekend. I wonder if it has anything to do with the moon phase. We saw six cats in three days while muley hunting. Good job on the cats. David

Thanks Amanda. I am always interested in hearing about Arizona history. David

Does anybody know the history behind Holder Cabin that is located north of the 300 road? When/why is was built, and abandoned. David

Does anybody have a couple .25 acp cases I could use? I need them to for my machinist so he can drill my encore breech plug. David

Just 2. David

I remember when I used to bunny hop the metal garbage cans back when I was a youngster. Of course my boys don't believe me, or even think that dad could even ride a bike. I have lots of scars and broken bones to show for it. David

I was out yesterday doin some scouting for muleys, plus calling for dogs. When it started to get hot I decided to hit a pond that held a bunch of bluegill. I was walking to the back of my truck to add some bait when I saw something run through the brush. I decided to grab my gun and walk the edge hoping maybe I could get a shot at what I saw. I noticed some movement up ahead of me about 100 yards and glassed up a bobcat. I mouth sqeaked and got him to turn around for a shot. I stopped him with one shot from my AR using 68 grain hollow points. The coat was in great shape, so I am having a full mount done. David

I have an Encore stainless steel 300 win mag barrel with a Dave Van Horn muzzle brake installed on it. I took this barrel in trade and have not shot it. I was told it has very few rounds down the tube. I am looking to trade for an Encore stainless muzzleloader barrel in .50 cal, plus the a synthetic forearm. I will be out of town this weekend, so be patient if I don't reply quickly. David http://mygunroom.com/dvgunshop/

I have been doing alot of research on muzzleloaders lately to get ready for my muley hunt in December. I found this website that sells videos that show you how to make your gun shoot better, etc. I think I am going to order a couple this week and see what they can do for me.

San Carlos Apache Rez Elk, Bighorn, Mt. Lion
azhuntnut replied to Apache7mm's topic in Vintage Hunting Photos
Great pics Dan. If you can find me a lion like the one in the pic, I will head back over again for some hunting. David -
Spotted this guy and his buddy in an open area. I set up my son for a shot, while I worked my way around them. I was hoping they would spot me and push towards him. When they finally started his way, I didn't see him sitting in his spot anymore. He got impatient and was coming up behind me. When one of the coyotes sat down a little over 350 yards; I popped him. The other one came out behind a small hill at 397 yards. My first warning shot was just over his back, but the second dropped him. We walked back to the truck and drove over to them. When we pulled up my son noticed one was still moving a bit and finished him off for me. Both of them had the mange pretty bad. David The other coyote is just over the hill in the background.

He goes with me quite a bit. He just recently passed his hunters ed course and will be pig hunting in the spring, and deer hunting in the fall. I have been draggin him along with me since he was about five years old. David

Gino. You could probably get by with just a Mile Marker for the amount you will be using it. I have had a couple in the past on my polaris and my truck with no issues. Add a good bag with all of the goodies for winching; expecially a good snatch block and straps, and you should be good. I also have a place where I can get a good price on one if you want to PM me.

I dropped off about 75 magazines this morning. I had been saving them for years, and finally found a good place for them. David -

I was out with my buddy Ben on Saturday morning when we found some muley does. We thought it would be cool to call them in to us. They had gotten to within forty yards when I noticed a coyote coming across the field. My attention instantly turned towards him. I couldn't move to get my rangefinder out, so I asked Ben for a range on him. He thought the coyote was about 500 yards. I got a good rest and let the first shot fly, and then followed up with the second, third, fourth, and finally the parting fifth shot. As you can see in the video the coyote was actually less the 500 yards. By my fourth shot I was leading him by two feet and you can see the dust in the background shows that I was still a foot or more behind him. They sure do run alot faster than you think. I had switched my ammo that morning from .223 69 grain MK's to 55 grain v-max's. But there shouldn't be hardly any differance in ballistics at that range. We actually called in three coyotes while calling the deer. It was still fun trying to hit him, and I learned that I need to lead them a little bit more at that speed, and at least put a rangefinder on them when they are sitting still for me.

I have had the ATS 80 for about five years. The first three years I would pack that thing everywhere. I glass mostly through my spotting scope since I cant see out of one eye. After a while I got real tired of packing that big heavy thing and tried using a the compact Nikon 13-30x50 ED angled. Since then I have only carried the Nikon. It weighs a little over a pound and I would say it is just as clear my Swaro. Plus, it works great for digiscoping. You can also get a 13-40 eyepiece if you need more power. I will probably pick one up soon for mine. David

I was in 6a for the last six days helping a buddy and they were barely talking. We didn't even hear one bugle on Monday. Plus when we did find the good bulls, other hunters haven't learned the first grader rule of playing the wind. There should be a bottle of wind checker sent out to every hunter that draws a tag .

Blake, That is a really good buck. It always pays off in the end when you put the time and effort into scouting. The kill is just he icing on the cake. Congrats on a great archery buck and a fine story as well. David

I have had the same great results. David

Gino, I know it was one of the 8's, but I guess my excitement took over for a moment. No matter what, it is a toad for sure. Congrats to the hunter and the Mullin team. David -

I would divulge the score , but I think it would ruin the surprise. Somewhere around 4*^ 3/8's. David -
