stanley Report post Posted March 6, 2021 That old rack with the metal tag is super cool. My dad had a big, heavy 4X4 muley rack hanging up in the carport in the house I grew-up in, in Kearny. Killed it up close to the Ray copper pit, I believe. It had one of those metal tags, circa around 1960 or 1961, I think. When they moved after he retired in the early 90s, the rack somehow became lost. Sure wish I had that now.... S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think this is the same deer. Remington 30-06 Gamemaster with 4x Weaver. 1957 I haven't changed a thing on that rig. I don't think dad owned any camo. 2016 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is my great-grandfather's Winchester 1894 that I have now. Serial number says build was circa 1907. My family said he got a decent number of deer all around the Sulphur Springs Valley in the first half of the 20th century. They hunted up to Willcox, over to Bisbee, down to Douglas and all around there. Dos Cabezas and Mule mountains I think are the two ranges on either side. It's old enough that it is marked 30 W.C.F. instead of the newer, more common 30-30 marking. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Tub Report post Posted March 6, 2021 You know you're hosed when you hear "past performance is not indicative of future results" and they start quoting the tags will be mailed out by 4-2-2021. simple interpretation: WE SCREWED UP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
