Just a thought. I had a .410 for my son. Ammo was hard to find and almost $30 a box. For Christmas I bought him a 20ga semi auto for $275. He says it kicks way less and ammo is $9 a box with tons of options.

Happy Jack towing helped me out for free a few years ago. I don't have the number but google should.

Hard to beat a hard charging triple when you have a 12ga in your hands!

No they ask for money. I asked for a letter last year so I could use a work volunteer day and haul water with my truck and trailer. They said they would rather I donate money. Way better off to donate to Wildlife Waterworks Dan does great work and all the money is used for wildlife.

I bet those birds move a lot after this next storm. Never hurts to look though.

My wife killed hers at 91yds. She didn't realize how far he was and got excited. Its pretty good out to 75yds,

Yes buckshot is still "shot" and legal. I use 3-1/2 4 buck on fall hunts.

I used a short action bell and Carlson stock. I had to use some epoxy but I don't remember it being to hard.

With a little work you can make a short action m7 stock work. I did that for my wife's gun

I didn't count but I bet I was north of 30 for the summer. Only one we killed was 6'1 without the head

Congrats! I had this tag in 2013 I think. At the time I lived in Cordes Jct and I was able to scout every weekend except 3 between the draw and the hunt. It was a fun hunt but the top 3 bucks I had picked out were all dead by 9am opening morning. I saw 3 bucks killed opening morning by a family that had 4 tags in camp. All 3 were hardly above their ears. I was glad when they cut the tags and hopefully the herd has recovered since then. I ended up with a mid 70's buck the 2nd day that I had watched in the junipers all summer. Don't overlook some of the thicker areas. I found them in places you wouldn't think they would be. This year that was my 2nd choice hunt just because of the low tag numbers. Have fun!

I know all those trucks aren't because of this thread but... Several years back I asked for tips for the youth doe hunt in 12aw from some guys that had been up there on the early hunt. One of them posted an exact spot where they were glassing from and seeing deer everyday. On the way to the spot I saw some papers in the middle of the road so I stopped and picked them up. It was a print out of the thread where I had asked about where to hunt. Long story short we met 2 other groups that were hunting that spot because of what was posted. I think guides posting all the pics online is probably the most to blame.

My son has his first elk tag this year and I need to get him a rifle. He shot a sig last week and liked it. I would prefer a .308 and camo but would consider other options. If anyone has one they want to sell let me know.

Thanks. Really wanted a .308 but this is very tempting

WOW!!

Lead or steel? .410 is hard to find in anything but 7.5 and 8. I ended up buying my son a 20ga because I couldn't find good options for .410 ammo. I will look tonight but I might have some 3in lead 4's that I found in a pawn shop. I am in Williams though.

My opinion is that is just a city coyote with mange.

My son is getting a late 8 bull tag from his Papa!

I took my boy down to the desert to help a couple of buddies on a javalina hunt. On the 5hr drive down all he could talk about was wanting to kill and eat a rabbit. As luck would have it mid morning Friday this guy changed shade trees on the ridge right by camp. A few shots later this sucker was on the camp stove getting cooked for lunch. Not my favorite but that lil guy was so proud it was amazing.

My neighbors bought a freeze dryer and after seeing what it takes to do right, I will never complain about the cost of mountain house.

The five recognized subspecies are American pronghorn (A.a.americana, Ord 1815), Oregon pronghorn (A.a.oregona, Bailey, 1932), Mexican pronghorn (A.a.mexicana, Merriam 1901), Sonoran pronghorn (A.a.sonoriensis, Goldman 1945), and peninsular pronghorn (A.a.peninsularis, Nelson 1912) Maybe Mexican?
