Posting this for my sister and her husband. Non-hunters, used primarily for light family rides in the mountains and no hard riding. I have not seen it recently, but knowing my brother-in-law, it is probably in excellent condition. Located in south Gilbert. The number listed in the ad is my sister's. So if you have any technical questions beyond "Is it pretty?" or "What color is it?", you are probably SOL. They are asking $12,000. https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/snw/d/2014-ranger-excellent/6748139440.html 2014 Polaris Ranger 900 Crew 856 miles and 71.1 hours Light rail, roof, all fluids changed. Excellent condition. Trailer to haul is also for sale. In good condition, asking 1200, not included in sale of vehicle.

Applications will be accepted in the Phoenix office starting Monday 11/19.

In this case, yes. The son is definitely the better shot.

Nice shot, congratulations! I might fire the camera guy.

Here are all the dates from the regs:

Which hunts, I'll tell you the dates. PM if you prefer.

You want your application to arrive on the day they do the leftovers. A week early is bad.

Don't send it yet!

You were in the max point pool for your second choice. So you never had a chance to draw your first.

and if you don't have a Venmo account, get one! That goes for everyone. Easiest way out there to send and receive money at no cost. My family and friends use it all the time to pay each other. Do people even use cash these days?

I don't know anything about fly fishing (who has time for ANOTHER outdoor vise), but would like to help him out. Do you have a Venmo account? I'll send him a few bucks and if he likes he can donate the flies to a good organization.

I've had the Quad Gear Double gun case for a UTV sitting in my closet for a couple of years now. It is in new condition and has never been used. I believe it is identical to the one at the link below. Local pick up in Queen Creek or Tempe only. Asking $40.

After my little Kembria drew tag number 100 of 100 tags for her first choice deer hunt this fall, I felt that luck was on our side. We, her big brother Draysen and I, spent a fair amount of time with her over the past few months working on target acquisition in the scope, trigger control, etc. But I would be lying if I didn't admit to being a little nervous about her first big game hunt. Desire wasn't an issue, she has been chomping at the bit for years. But unlike her big brother, I just wasn't sure how she would do. Well, yesterday we loaded up the truck and headed up north. We had a good opening morning plan to head into an area where I have consistently found bucks over the years. For her first hunt I wasn't looking for a big buck, just a decent one that would be within her range. As we rolled into camp (actually my brother-in-law’s family cabin), I got a message from a new buddy letting me know he and a friend were on a tank of a buck, but with no tag themselves, they wanted a kid to shoot it. He sent me some pictures, and my jaw dropped! We made plans to meet up very early this morning to see if we could relocate him. Within the first minutes of glassable light, we got a glimps of him just as he and his buddies were topping out and disappearing over the ridge across from us. Draysen was the first to see why they were fleeing. A group of hunters were walking up the same ridge the bucks were on right in their direction. We made a quick plan to try and get ahead of the bucks, as they were still unaware of our presence. Within 30 minutes we were ahead of them and had them feeding out in front of us at 350 yards. I got Kembria set up on the Claw/Ruger Precision 6.5 Creedmoor combo (the Claw is the original version of the Triclawps) and we continued to watch them feeding in and out of the trees waiting for a good shot. There were five bucks in the group, all well above our original expectations for the hunt. The second biggest buck in the group stepped into the opening broadside, and all of a sudden a group of deer (estimate maybe ten) busted out of the thick trees about 30 yards to our right and bolted. This caught the attention of our bachelor group of deer and I quickly became concerned they were likewise going to bolt. I said to Kembria "See that big buck in the open?" She replied "Yes!" I said, "Shoot him!" Maybe one second later, BOOM!!! Perfect 350 yard lung shot. He wasn't the biggest boy of the group (the bigger one was similar in length to the one she shot, but more mass). Nonetheless, the five of us were beside ourselves with excitement. Not a half bad opening morning buck for a little girl who just turned 10 years old two weeks ago. Pretty great day for this proud pappa! Can't thank our friends G.R. and Tanner enough for the huge assist!

YES!!! ^^^

That is what I always thought.

On my wife's elk hunt, we left it loaded until she killed on day 5. It is since that hunt that I have heard you should discharge your muzzleloader load each day. I'm looking forward to hearing from individuals with more muzzleloader experience than I have.

I have a Ruger Precision in 6.5 Creedmoor. It is a fantastic shooter. But as previously mentioned, it is on the heavier side. It might not be the best pack gun, but you need to ask yourself how are you going to use it? I bought mine for my wife and (currently) 10 year old daughter. Neither of them are likely to be packing in for multiple days, and I will probably always be carrying the rifle for them. So the extra few pounds isn't that big of a negative. However, it terms of comfort in shooting, the few extra pounds and factoty installed brake minimize the recoil. Both my wife and daughter love to shoot it and have no fear of it. Also, the adjustability of the stock was a big deal for my petite daughter. So for me it was the perfect rifle. If I didn't have several other rifles in various weights and calibers, that might not have been the case. Regardless, both are great factory rifles. Good luck.

We made it home from the mountains this afternoon and it was time to process Kembria's deer. We made steaks, roasts, maple breakfast sausage, brats, and burger. It made for a long afternoon. Glad it is done! FYI, the LEM maple breakfast sausage seasoning packet is fantastic!

Fire away...

My buddy just texted me from up on the Kiabab. His two daughters have the doe hunt that opens up this morning and is trying to find the nearest meat processor in that area? I'd personally just cool the meat and bring it home. It is definitely cool enough up there. But he woud rather find someone up there.

Congratulations the whole crew! Youth cow hunts are awesome.

Dang nice first buck!

Well, after my wife killed her bull (see other post from a few minutes ago), it was time to get my little princess some practice. She turned 10 this past Saturday, and has her first big game hunt at the end of this month (3A/3C deer). There was no hesitation in her as she dropped the hammer on some squirrels. Lucky for her, she knows someone who does euro mounts (big brother) and made her a nice trophy for her birthday.

Congrats buddy, I enjoyed the updates on the trip.
