flaco Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Just ran into the rangemaster for the trap range at the club. Boy, did he have a picture of a really nice buck he took at someplace called "The Strip" in AZ. I like those big mulies. flaco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Never heard of the strip, could it have possibly been "the rim". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaco Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 AzRednek- Look, this is all a little hazy, as I ran into him outside the café before I had my coffee. And he's the real thing: Far as I can tell he's spent better than two decades running the trap and skeet ranges every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. He's also one of our best rifle shots. Not to mention he has a Jarrett 300. Which is to say he owns and appreciates custom rifles. Anyway, this place is just below St. George, and of about 11,000 hunters, 60 or so tags are drawn? He called it a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I believe him. He pulled out a snapshot--who wouldn't?--and this buck had a humungous rack. I got the impression that anywhere else, this would be more than a trophy buck. But he was a little disappointed. flaco N.B. I'd like to add... that around here, most all those I've met who are involved in the shooting sports are as friendly and supportive as you could imagine. How sweet is that?

Guest Guest_BEJ_* Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Isn't St. George in Utah ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaco Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Okay. It sounds like this is a monumentally tough area to hunt, but there's big bucks there: Three bucks from The Strip. And yes, BEJ, St. George is in southern Utah, just above AZ. flaco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamp_thing Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Sounds like it was a great hunt for the Nobles. I have never hunted any kind of terrain that comes close to the area described here. It would certainly take someone with real dedication to spend the time and effort these guys put into this hunt. When I was much younger, I hunted the ozark mtns in Arkansas and thought that area could be real taxing after a day or two of walking/stalking. Definately proves trophy bucks are smart enough to stay off the beaten path. Great article flaco. swamp_thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Flaco I'll have to look when I have more time. I think the area below St George is a part of Arizona that can only be driven into by driving into Utah then going back south into Arizona. I think it is also an area for renegade Mormans openly practicing polyogamy. Some real news horror stories coming out of the area lately. The highway makes a u-shape, drops into Az then goes back north back into Utah. I think the bend into Az might be what is called the strip. Two Dr appointments today, I'll check it out later when I have more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
