3 pointsTessa was able to put her tag on this oryx on the last afternoon of our hunt. We hunted hard for several days we saw between 150-250 oryx per day. With as many as we saw only a few were real trophy size animals. Several of these were in areas that just did not present a shot opportunity. So with time running out on the last day she was able to take this bull. She passed on several bigger ones she was very happy with the animal she took. I hope to be able to hunt here again it was an incredible hunt.

3 pointsI didn't read the panel had screw in fuses. As far as breakers go, it's complicated. Breakers are designed to only protect the circuit wire, not devices connected to them. While older breakers may have a 75degC rating, commonly the terminals had a 60degC rating. I've read that breakers are typically tested and calibrated at 40degC. It's not that the breaker wasn't rated appropriately, but when the "weakest link" is rated lower, you must use that as the overall system rating. Also, the wire must be rated to match the terminal/breaker ratings. When a test is conducted they test each pole of the circuit breaker by connecting the line and load terminals of that pole with rated copper conductors. When the terminals are marked 75degC that is the rating of wire that must be used. When the terminals are marked 60degC then 60deg rated wire must be used. Know too that the wire acts as a heat sink for the breaker. If the wire used is 90degC for example, then the wire adds to the heating of the breaker causing it to derate which essentially moves the trip curve resulting in the breaker being unable to carry its rating & potentially fail. We don't know what the breaker was doing if & (assuming) when it failed, so it's all guessing at this point. Either way, hopefully the terminals, wire, & breakers are all rated appropriately. If they are all 75C, that corresponds to 167F, whereas 60C is only corresponds to 140F. I'm guessing that an older home may not have the higher "system" rating especially given it sounds like the lighting was put on the same circuit as kitchen outlets. Remember the issue I'm referring to is heat on the panel. If the electrical panel was mounted facing the Phoenix sun, know metal can reach close to 200 degrees F during the day (depending on paint, outside temperature, wind, etc.). I personally caught electricians installing 60C rated breakers/terminals in my house in a panel that faced the morning to noon sun, which was a code violation. They changed them after I discussed this with the electrical inspector for Gilbert (who agreed with me). 60C is probably ok if the panel is never in the sun btw. Overall, given what was posted, I'm only guessing it's a breaker issue, & possibly related to an overloaded circuit. BTW, I'm not an electrical engineer, but rather a mechanical engineer with electrical experience in both design & construction.

1 pointhttps://youtu.be/-Vmpmw-tqHk A little late but I was able to harvest a nice Ram this on 12/15/2021. I knew how special drawing this tag was (6 Bonus Points) and wanted to do everything I possibly could to earn this privilege. I immediately got in the phone and called everyone I knew that might have information that I could use, watched every video and read any type of information I could about Desert Bighorn. To be honest Bighorn hunting was something I never thought I would have to think about until I was 60, 70, 80 years old IF I was lucky! I knew I wanted to scout as much as possible. I attended the Sheep Clinic and also the banquet and I tried to absorb what ever information I could. I scouted hard about 10 weekends I was able to make it out. I took tons of video and pictures. I would spend all week reviewing/judging. I wasn’t to big on score but was hoping for a 170’s mature ram. When the hunt came I kept preaching patience to myself. I was wanting to spend time enjoying the hunt and that I did. I had lots of help from a lot of friends that made it when they could. The weather was perfect, it was overcast a few days, some light rain and highs in the upper 60’s. After seeing on average of about 10 or so different rams a day over different country, I finally found the Ram I wanted to take a shot at on Tuesday evening. We bedded him down and made a plan that he was there in the morning I would try and take him. Wednesday morning we had to walk in about a mile and there he was up and feeding. My buddy Marcos Ranged him at 600 yards I settled in with a nice cliff on my right, reminding myself not to get to excited and fall over. 610 yards, a little further than I was wanting to shoot but I was comfortable, we made it happen. I definitely couldn’t be anymore appreciative of the tag I had I understood and soaked it all in! Thanks to everyone’s advice and help, the wife of course, my family who helped wherever I needed, my 10 year old Brody who could only be out there 4 days because of school getting into the way! my friends with Ace in the Hole Outfitters Marcos, Jon and Ramon. Friends that helped glass, give advice and anything else I needed, Gabe, Brian Myers Matt, Drew, Craig, Kile, Ogle a long list that I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot of people by they know who they are. Also big thanks to Jon with Ace in the Hole in putting together this video for this once in a lifetime hunt !

1 pointIt seems all we ever hear about is negative experiences in customer service, so I want to relay a positive experience recently. In December I emailed Sig customer service, as my LRF (an early Sig Kilo 2000) that my LRF would no longer range past about 400 yards. This was after putting new batteries in etc. It took a couple weeks to get an email back, but after a few emails with a rep, he gave me a RMA, and I got the LRF in the mail. Less than a week after they received it, I got an email notification of a packaged shipped from them. The are not only replacing my LRF, but upgrading me to a Sig Kilo 5K, 100% free of charge. Wonderful service and I couldn't ask for anything better!

1 pointThe fun continues. Couldn't get the drain plug out. Torque is supposed to be 20. I broke a wrench trying to loosen it.

1 pointThey are great rifles my grandson has one and they very accurate he killed his last deer with at 638 yards I hope you sell it soon I'm sure there's a kid out there that needs it

1 pointRun to Harbor freight and buy a volt ohm meter. It's going to make life much easier diagnosing the issue. My first guess would be unplug the microwave and then reset the gfi. Take a reading with the volt ohm meter at the outlet and see if you have your voltage back. There were to many comments so I didn't read thru them all. Maybe someone already suggested that.. Good Luck

1 pointI think I did my last change in about August or September. Walmart didn't have any at all and not all of them carry the Turbo Diesel 5W-40. I ended up going to Auto Zone across the street but they only had three gallons. My truck takes 15 quarts. When they rang it up they also printed out a rebate. I went to another one and got the other gallon and the rebate ended up being $60 total. Pretty happy with that.

1 pointNice job! Stallion or Rhodes? I’ve had the opportunity to hunt both the last couple years both were good but stallion is always my favorite. As much of a rat race as it is, it is always a fun time on the WSMR and something I always look to.Congratulations to you both!

1 pointShe said no musher would ever travel with a rifle or a large caliber gun, instead preferring to scare off animals with a flare gun. And with all the jostling of the sled, the larger guns could easily go off.…………..

1 pointYep. Plus claims to have sold items on here previously but has only 3 posts and all of them on this thread. The joining in 2016 part gave me pause but maybe that's just scammers playing the long game. Idk

1 pointI listened to the meeting. Wards Outfitters was guiding Pat Lefemine the owner of bowsite.com on an archery elk hunt. They were posting a live hunt everyday on bowsite for the world to follow along. The hunt went on for several days then Pat killed a bull. The outfitter claimed he forgot to file reports of his hunts on the Coconino plus he had no forest permit for that forest but remembered to file all their hunts on the Coronado where he did have a forest permit. The USFS said they had notified him about forest permits. The Game Commission said, you put us in this position and suspended their Outfitters license for 5 years. It was interesting listening to that case.

1 pointIf they are very vocal, there is no need for you to do anything else but sneak in on them. If you call, you just alert them and risk them not liking your sound or them not being receptive to whichever type of call you chose and at least half the time the walk or run the other direction. If you are having trouble closing the distance, some soft cow calls can sometimes help draw the bull in once you are close. So pray for a good rut, that you can find the elk and that they are calling and you will have a blast just trying to keep the wind right and sneaking in on them and working the angles to avoid the eyeballs and get a shot. Location bugling can be good when they aren't really fired up and you can't find any elk, sometimes that will help you at least find the direction of a bull since often they can't resist responding to another bull that is far away. If they are NOT calling and it is very hot and has NOT rained in a month, then sitting water can be your best bet. Hiking and Glassing are always a good fallback if the terrain is conducive to it. Trail cameras are now illegal to use for hunting so you can't use those to help you decide what water you may want to sit.

1 pointVery cool. That last picture is stunning. The nice part of hunting with your camera is the season is always open and it's state-wide! Makes me want to pick up a camera. Thanks for posting.

1 pointDo some research about cleaning rifle barrles or even over cleaning . most times you do more harm than good
