Very cool. I shot one in 19a that was 21lbs. By far the biggest I have ever killed. I am still trying to decide on a rug or lifesize mount.

That's a great looking rug. What did that cat weigh?

That's a lot of turkey fans!

Anyone know if he drove a white Dodge Dakota 4x4?
I have seen him around Williams the last couple of years on the late hunt. First time I saw him I knew he looked familiar but I couldn't place him. Then I read his shirt. It was his guide service shirt with his name on it. That was the 2017 season and he had clearly been out helping/hunting. Not really sure what unit.

I would buy the xbolt and never look back. I did a lot of reading on some forums awhile back trying to help a friend pick a new rifle. I saw more bad reviews on the CA than many other guns priced much less. He ended up with a CA and it had to go back for multiple issues. I have setup 6 xbolts now, and every one has worked and shot very well. I would spend the extra money on optics and ammo. Good luck!

I got a muley hunt next week but going to be on the far far west side
The smoke shouldn't be an issue by then. We are on the west side and don't even see it here.
-
Just a heads up to anyone with this hunt. The fire is causing lots of smoke on the east side of the unit. Good luck!

The Cashbox in Tucson use to be great. I haven't been in a few years, but I use to always find a good deal. Several years back I bought a S&W 15-3 out the door for $100

He is one of those guys that waits untill the last second and now he's having gun issues. I plan on pulling my Tikka barrelled action out of a chassis and putting it in there hunting stock I have if I can locate the bottom metal and magazine.
This drives me nuts. Hope you find what you need.

If it was me, I would spend money on a good tripod and head. I really don't see much of a difference in binos in the $150-$500 range. I would look through as many as you can and pick the ones you like the best. Then start saving for high end optics if that is what you want. I killed a plenty of deer with a pair of $100 nikon binos on a good tripod. I wasted hundreds of dollars "upgrading" with mid grade optics. I wish I would have been patient and just saved until I got what I really wanted.

19 minutes ago, trphyhntr said:well obviously searching for it the day after the season is the right thing to do. and if you found it alive and had to put it out of it misery thats also the right thing to do. talking about it on the internet, wrong thing to do.
That is sound advice

Its slowing down, but I am sure you will hear a few.

Stuffed mine in a flat rate box. Then I got rid of it. Just like vortex, great warranty, too many issues.

Another vote for Ventana Canyon. My wife loves that place. Get a balcony with a view of the mountains and it is almost tolerable.

We had a good day considering we are not real duck hunters. We got 9 ducks and 2 geese. Took a lot of walking and a lot of paddling the canoe, but it was fun how did everyone else do?

They were going great during the hunt.

They are really going crazy in 8 and 7w right now.

That's an awesome bull for 6a! Way to grind it out

We saw one in unit 8 this summer. We have a trail cam out there now so hopefully we will get some pics of them.

I think he has more than 1 video, but one of them is in 32 for sure.

22 minutes ago, MT_Sourdough said:Early in the season is tougher for sure. At least from what I have observed. I do not spend much of my time in the deep canyons so what I have seen more whitetail bucks in December and January. Right now, I can find WT does super easy right along common roads, but the bucks don't show up until closer to the rut.
Yup. That is why I think it will be a tough hunt. It's a great time to be out in the woods though. I am pretty sure we can find a few bucks, just not sure we will be able to get at them. The lack of rain could really help.
Shooting from one unit into another????

I know a few people that have done it for elk. Game warden told them they were fine as long as the animal was clearly in the unit the tag was good for.
