This is the new calling rifle I put together over the last few months. Its not the R-15 that I wanted, but I saved a bundle by going this route. Most of the time I only call with a shotgun, but last year we had a few hang up out of shotty range, so I decided to put together a semi auto .223. All said and done it cost me $575.00 and it shoots pretty good.

Nice work! that is a great lookin yote!

I noticed them last Saturday when I was down in Tucson. We stopped by and they let us in to look around even though they weren't open. Looks like its going to be a great shop. Lots of gear, good prices, and very friendly. I think he said they would be open late this week or early next week.

That was mine... Headed home from work, but its a Chevy

Cow tags for us this year, we need to fill the freezer bad. BIL and I drew unit 8 archery cow 2nd choice Wife drew 19a rifle cow 3rd choice

Very nice! Thanks!

Nice job guys!

Thanks for all your hard work! That is one of our favorite spots in unit 8!

I am probably done with Foxes and Bobcats, only another week left anyway. I will probably try to shoot a few more yotes off the ranch. I can't wait till October!

I was just about to hang it up for the summer, but I got a phone call Saturday morning. A local rancher is losing calves and asked me if I would come do some calling. We headed out Saturday afternoon for a few stands. The wind was pretty tough, but on the 7th stand we had this Grey come in at the 4min mark. I shot him at about 10yds with 2oz Copper plated BB's. Sorry about the pics! After 5 years of banging around my pack, my Sony camera finally died. On stand #9 we had 2 coyotes come in to dist. sounds. I got the female, but no luck on the 2nd dog. All in all not too bad. I guess I will try to rifle hunt these coyotes for the next few weeks and see if I can kill a few more. I am almost finished with my Ar-15 and can't wait to try it out.

I am pretty sure the Javalina regs used to say you couldn't shoot them down by the San Pedro. I grew up in the area and only saw them a few times. Sure would like to find a few now.

My wife shoots a Browning X-Bolt in .300WSM. Even with 180gr. bullets its easy to shoot. It kicks a lot less than our .270WSM Savage. I love the .270WSM though, its a great round for Az. These guys have pretty good prices on new guns. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem....?Item=161315171 http://www.ableammo.com/catalog/default.ph...935_13987_15869

Very cool! can't wait to see the whole video

Nice Job! I would love to do that someday

I got the same pics. Looks like it could be in Yavapai County. You never know with these e-mails though. Next week you will get the same one and it will say Colorado.

I actually had the shotgun in the case in the back seat of the truck, but my bag and some other gear had slid off the seat and piled on top of it, so I just said screw it. I got lazy and didn't want to dig it out! haha The damage actually wasn't that bad on the fox. Exit whole was about 2-3 inches, which my taxidermist should easily be able to fix. That will be a great mount. I am getting a big male I shot in January mounted. I think Greys are some of the best mounts.

Thats a great looking cat! nice job!

Blake nice job on the fox. I wanted to hunt, but had to work all weekend. Sounds like you need to carry a shotgun!

Congrats! he sure is a cute lil guy!

I agree. I usually play 3 sounds per 30min stand. I usually let the call run non stop, but the last few weeks I have been having luck if I turn it off for 1-2 min every 5min or so. Most of the time I just let it play.

Nice Shootin! I have a hard time hitting those little targets. Way to go!

Yup you are right Casey! I was a little worried that we were undergunned. Maybe next year I can get her to take my .338 Lapua. That might be a little safer!

My wife drew a unit 32 rifle pig tag. We headed out from Tucson early opening morning and arrived at our spot about 7:00am. We spent the next 2 hours checking out a few of our favorite spots with no luck. We decided to move over a ridge or 2 and look a little more. Right as I was about to sit down I saw this pig about 200yds below us. There was actually a herd of about 10-12 pigs but this guy was out front. She and I snuck down about 100yds while our friend tried to video the hunt. We got to about 90yds and I set up the shooting sticks, and told her to shoot the one up front. The 1st shot was a little back, but the second finished the job. It was her first kill with her new Browning Xbolt 300wsm. We had him back to the Jeep, and in the cooler by 11:00. All in all it was a pretty good hunt.

Nice job!!! You really know how to work those Greys.
