    My wife took this buck on Sunday. It was on the west side though.

    Pray for snow. If not, they’ll be scattered from top to bottom, and quality bucks will be difficult to find. If it snows hold out for a good buck. If it doesn’t I personally wouldn’t pass a 180” class deer.

    Trophy Elk: What's it to YOU

    To each their own. After years of many successful elk hunts, I see nothing wrong with chasing horns. Those horns still come attached to a bunch of meat. I’ve killed a pile of elk, and been there for dozens of other kills (friends and family). This year I was patient, and was content going home...

    2024 AZ Bull

    I’ve been hunting elk for 25 years, and I’ve successfully managed to take 4 bulls in that time. This year I was finally arrow my biggest bull ever. It’s been a long road. My first bull was a low 200s 4x4 rag horn, second bull was a 325” 6x7 bull, and both were with a rifle. My 3rd bull was a...

    Best durable deer blind for bad weather

    I did a bunch of internet searching and came across the barronett ox 5. It’s supposed to be very durable. I’ve got it on order. We shall see.

    Best durable deer blind for bad weather

    I get to take my 9 year old twin kids out hunting for their first time this year. I’m going to be sitting over a feeder out of a blind to simplify things for them. I’m hoping it will provide a better teaching condition for all of us. I’ve never hunted out of a blind, and don’t have any...

    Practice Rifle choice during the Ammo Shortage?

    I landed on the same conclusion. I just picked up a cz 457 mtr. I’m topping it with an area 419 30 moa rail, seekins rings, and a Burris xtr ii 5-25 mil scope. Also running an atlas bipod, atlas bipod rail, yodave trigger spring, and area 419 bolt knob. It’s not all put together yet, as I just...

    7mm mag - what's going on?

    What am I doing wrong?

    Even with the same exact bullet, you can get varying measurements if the bullets are from different lots. For example: I was reloading 250 7 saum rounds this weekend. I load these at .025” off the lands. My comparator tool gives me a base to ogive measurement of 2.4400”. After the first 100...

    AZ Elk draw

    I heard they’re going to conduct the draw on a day that ends in day. If anyone wants to know the exact time, wait until your credit card is hit, then run to the nearest clock and check the time. 👍👍

    What am I doing wrong?

    Are you maybe applying pressure to the rod jamming the bullet slightly, when taking the measurements?
