I was lucky enough to have drawn the first hunt in the Picacho Mountains (37A east) six years after the reintroduction of sheep to the area. Because the area is so close to my home I chose to go about the hunt self guided. First call was to AZG&F to figure out what I had gotten myself into. Officer Smallwood, the manager for 37A, kept me on the phone for well over an hour during my first phone call to him. He gave me areas to access the mountains and information on where they had been seeing sheep. This was huge. In all, I spent at least one day almost each weekend from beginning of September until the hunt in the area looking for sheep. I managed to wear out a set of tires on my Jeep on that road. Hunted seven days. It was physically and mentally strenuous. At one point, we found ourselves up on the mountain as the sun was setting. Coming down in the dark with headlamps on, moving from cliff to cliff was no picnic. I vowed that if I was ever in that situation again, I'd sleep on top of the mountain and come down in the daylight. I had several friends help out. I was never alone. My hunting partner, Jeff was with me every day of the hunt. Made two new friends from this website. Luis (Lucafu1) and Patrick (PatrickJr) each accompanied me for a day. Solid guys. Helpful to a fault. In fact Patrick glassed up the Ram that I ended up killing, he prepped the cape/head and hauled the meat off the mountain for me! I hope to repay the favor someday. I am including pics from scouting as I had as much fun looking at lambs as I did looking for mature rams! I did not kill the biggest ram in those mountains, nor the oldest. That said, I am super happy with him and he is going to look great on my wall! G&F determined it to be a 6 year old ram (probably born in the Picachos the year they were introduced) He nets 164 inches. An amazing once in a lifetime experience! I totally understand the fascination and addiction to finding sheep in the mountains. I hope to be a helper on somebody's hunt in the future!

I have a Leupold VX3 4.5-14X40 that I do not need. Matte, Duplex, U Suffix S/N Lenses are excellent Tube is very good. It does have a Kenton elevation turret marked for a 300 WSM with a 180 AB gr load. $400 located in Catalina, North of Tucson.

I filled my tag on Saturday. Been back at work and recovering from the hunt. Pics and a story will be up in the next few days.

Helluva deal.... Wish I was a southpaw!

Thought I was going to get back into the 7mm RUM game, but ultimately decided that I'm happy with what I have. I have 165 pieces of new RP 7mm RUM brass that has been primed with CCI 250 primers and an additional 30 pieces of new RP 300 RUM brass that have been resized to 7mm RUM. Total of 195 pieces of new primed brass. I would like $1.75 each or $300 for the entire lot. Happy to ship at actual cost.

BTT $850 FTF is about as low as I want to go on this rifle.

I have a deal pending on this. Thanks

Nice buck and an even better story. This one hits hard as my youngest turns 18 in a month. We just finished his last youth hunt as well.

Still available

No plans to be in phx soon. Looking for a 10/22 stock with the regular factory barrel channel, not the heavy target barrel channel.

Sold.
