    It's a cool story. Sounds weird but two years earlier he was in the 160" neighborhood. Here's a pic since nobody would believe that otherwise. Definitely worth it's own write up.

    I am not a big fan of them but like AzDiamondHeat stated they have their purpose. Most people never look at the CC&R's when they buy the house and then complain non stop about them afterwards. How can they see into your back yard to see if you have a garden or not? They have no right to step foot on your property. Funny story, my wife turned me in to our HOA on our last house. I had an Isuzu Trooper out front that I only used for hunting. She got tired of it sitting out there so she turned me in. So I pulled in to the driveway and got another violation because the tags were expired and they called it abandoned vehicle. So I called and asked if they could step foot on my property and when they said no I backed my Trooper into the driveway and called it good.

    In my work I deal with them almost daily. They have their purpose, but if poorly managed they can definitely have a Nazi complex.

    Nice bow! Good work! Just read an article where a group of milenial hipsters in Fargo ND turned in their boss for unsafe work conditions when he reopened his pizza shop. I’ve been in the restaurant. Nice restaurant but I was really disappointed in the atmosphere of the punks working there. Anyhow it turns out these kids were making 50% more on unemployment then they would have back at work. Made me lose my hope for humanity. This thread made some of it come back!!!

    Ever heard of a howage? I hadn't until I started looking at how to rebuild my Weatherby Vanguuard (Howa Action) in 257 weatherby that I burned the barrel out of. It is a howa using a barrel nut like a savage. I found Oregon Mountain Rifles online who is building pre-fit & pre-chambered barrels that are carbon fiber wrapped. For the price I had to take a gamble and be a guinea pig. OMR seems to be a newer company, but seem to build some nice stuff. Through the transition the owner Lee was great to work with and very responsive. I ordered a .257 weatherby mag barrel with 1:8 twist finished at 26". The barrel weighs 2lb 11.5oz. The barrel looks great despite UPS trying to destroy it. I also ordered a Bell and Carlson stock for it. The rifle already has a Timney trigger and Burris Veracity that will go back on it. Now I will be taking it all down to Eric @ Axisworks to let him work his magic and fit it, true the action, cerakote it, and add a muzzle brake. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

    Pierce titanium action, 25" #4 Lilja 3 groove stainless, McMillan HTG with molded in camo and texture, timney trigger, Talley lightweight rings, bdl floorplate. Already sold the 50mm Nightforce nxs but added the pictures for size reference. Bipod not included. Forester competition dies included, 3x fired Lapua brass, 7 boxes of 130 Berger HVLDS, one box of 140 Berger HVLDS. John at Pierce threaded and chambered the barrel. They also did the cerakoting. The McMillan stock was a full inlet with aluminum pillars. I did the final bedding with full action contact and first inch of chamber. I did all load development and always kept the barrel cool and loads mild. What I settled on was 40.1 gr h4350 and the 130gr Berger hunting VLD. Load averages 2870 fps and can shoot 5 shot groups into .5 moa at 600 yards. Built it to be a lightweight and rock solid mid range deer rifle. Took a 130" buck with it in 2018, watched my dad dump a last day bull with it at 685 yards, killed a bear at 19 yards and probably a dozen other bucks over the years by myself or family members. Sister and brother in law took both their first bucks, one after the other, with single perfect shots each. Have so much history with this gun it's hard to put up for sale but have to. If you want a lightweight, mild recoiling, turn key custom gun that will not let you down, here's one to consider. Weight is 7.2 lbs. $2900 shipped. Update $2800 shipped

    Fished Powell Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Caught 50, 51 and 53. All SM plus one small LM and one walleye. Hit by a huge storm Sunday at 2:30 and almost died. 5 to 6' waves in the channel and my Champion speared one of them and filled the boat with water. I turned around and went with the wind to a cove and changed into rain gear and hid out for an hour. Died down to 3' waves and 3 miles later the prop hub spun on me. Went into a cove and backed her in and put my spare prop on. The Merc 250 got us back in good shape after that. Glad I had the spare prop and a new bilge pump. All good and a fun trip. The biggest SM were 2.90, 2.80, 2.76 and 2.26.

    Depends on the year and time of year. Also depends if there’s been any fires there in the past decade. Only way to know for sure is to hike in and find out. You might get lucky and find a seep or spring that’s not mapped.

    When it comes to finding live springs, tinajas, etc. there is no substitute for boot leather. Unfortunately, many springs that were live year round are now dry or perennial. Ground water pumping and a general drought have rendered an alarming number of natural water sources non existent. Do your groundwork and you'll be OK.

    Small tractor with 3 pt and PTO can use brush hog/ rear mower deck works great. Rocks are really rough on blades but the bigger blades on rear mowers handles a lot. 4 to 5 foot decks speed mower time. A tractor with two stage clutch is handy. Many attachments available. Post hole diggers Box Gannon or scraper blade Rototiller Burm disc Regular disc Backhoe (very versital) And more. My Kabota BX23 is my favorite subcompact tractor. You could even make money digging (with backhoe attachment) tree holes, sewer trenches, ditches, etc in your neighborhood. But I've been spoiled since 2004. I was going through a riding lawn mower every 3 - 5 years. Tractors are built to endure. Riding lawn mowers normally don't handle moving trailers around very well in uneven terrain. Even Kabota BX23 has some limitations. PM with my number sent if you'd like to discuss more.

    Congrats Greenhorn So you are the one who drew Tag #2. Was scouting there today on the Yavapia , not much to see but my wife drew a few years ago and took a really nice buck that scored 82, we called him captain hook. She also took one in 19a that scored 88 5/8 net. Ill dig up some pictures and try and post. Since its just you and me lets keep in touch. There should be some really good bucks traveling back and forth from 18a,and 19b
