Bought some horse tack off Tony during the big germ wave. He wouldn't come to the door even though I masked up at his request. I wanted to meet him but had to deal with his wife whom was an absolutely delightful lady. Gave the saddlebags which had been beautifully tooled with the name Tony on them to MulePackHunter. I now call Mike, Tony out on the trail. The chaps I bought off Tony went to member ducksNgeese. Enjoy their provenance, boys. Wish the tack could talk, keeping Tony's leather horn bags to enjoy in the great outdoors.

Tony Mandile was a long-time contributor to this forum. He passed away yesterday morning from complications from COPD, Covid and an infection he got while at the hospital. His wife, Ellen, also got sick about the same time and spent time in the hospital, but is recovering at home. His family says he did not wish to hold a service, but I wanted to share with you all some more about his background. Tony went by the handle Outdoor Writer in this forum as well as other hunting forums. He made a living as a professional write for almost 40 years and he was a wealth of knowledge about the outdoors. I enjoyed my conversations with him and he will be missed. Tony and his wife attended some of our CWT campouts so many years ago. In addition to being a hunter, he was an outstanding photographer and he enjoyed cooking some excellent meals, which he often shared on Facebook. Many of you have enjoyed the book he co-wrote with Duwane Adams, "How to Hunt Coues Deer". He hunted and fished in 39 states and 10 Canadian provinces. He also hunted and fished in Africa, New Zealand and Mexico. Mandile began a part-time writing career in 1969 and has been a full-time freelance outdoor writer/photographer for 38 years. His 30-year active membership in the Outdoor Writers Association of America (OWAA) included three years on the board of directors. He also served on the board of the Western Outdoor Writers (WOW) and the Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA), which he helped create in 2005. He was a contributing editor for ARIZONA HUNTER & ANGLER magazine for 10 years, and wrote seven years as the Arizona Editor for OUTDOOR LIFE magazine. Mandile wrote his book -- HOW TO HUNT COUES DEER -- with noted guide Duwane Adams in 2003, and the Arizona Game & Fish Commission selected him as "Outdoor Writer of the Year" for 2011. More than 2,100 of his articles and 1,300 of his photos (50 covers) have appeared in OUTDOOR LIFE, FIELD & STREAM, SPORTS AFIELD, CABELA'S OUTFITTER JOURNAL, PETERSEN'S HUNTING, PETERSEN'S FISHING, AMERICAN HUNTER (NRA), DEER HUNTING, ROCKY MOUNTAIN GAME & FISH, CALIFORNIA G&F, WASHINGTON-OREGON G & F, ARIZONA HIGHWAYS, NORTH AMERICAN HUNTER, WHITETAILS UNLIMITED, NORTH AMERICAN WHITETAIL, OUTDOOR PHOTOGRAPHERS BIBLE, PENNSYLVANIA ANGLER, ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPORTSMAN, WESTERN OUTDOORS, BOWHUNTING WORLD, SOUTHWEST SPORTSMAN, SAFARI, ARIZONA WILDLIFE VIEWS, ARIZONA HUNTER & ANGLER, OUTDOORS UNLIMITED, several books and a few dozen other outdoor, conservation and travel publications. Rest in Peace Tony.

Once they removed the ability for parents to punish their kids, shiit hit the fan with the shootem ups happening. Put control and power back into the parents hands (literally), then things will be fixed. Thill then the pussification of youth occurs and they control the narrative.

Chuckbox was a fav when I went to look at hot girls at ASU!

My phone has blown up with messages and I will do my best to answer all PMs in the order received I type slowly so it might take a bit

If you want a good burger go to the Chuckbox in Tempe. If you're not happy with that you should probably be eating tofu/black bean patties.

Yeah, real dirtbag move to buy six pounds for personal use to offset the per pound share of the $48 in hazmat and shipping. 🙄

Thats why its sold out now......

Thanks for the heads up. Was able to order six pounds.

I totally changed up my leg day on Tuesday. I'm fat and have knee and back issues so always looking for ways to make gains without stressing the joints. I did 1. directional lunges with kettlebells (front, side, back - both sides) 10 sets 2. superset calf raises and air squats - 25 reps x 4 sets 3. hyperextensions and reverse hypers - 10 x 4 4. finisher -stairmaster 5 minutes at highest level I can maintain, then increase a level every minute until i gas out. I stand up straight and no hands on rails so using legs

Not in Tucson. In mesa. And yes nmurray10 I will come out to fountain hills. Anyone interested call me .

For those who have not heard, Tony Mandile aka Outdoor Writer on CWT passed away yesterday from complications related to COPD. Another AZ legend has returned to the dust. Rest peacefully my friend.

Tahoe is an option, but he's paying for that one. I fronted most of the money for the truck. Depends on the insurance payout. Those trucks are not as reasonably priced as they were a few years ago.

Thanks Amanda for posting. Tony was a good friend and I will miss him dearly. We talked frequently and he enjoyed sharing his cooking, on facebook, up to the end. I moved to Az in the early 70s and I read lots of his articles over the years. I had the good fortune to share his last hunt with him. RIP my friend. TJ

White. Easier to see by moonlight. JK

I better get extra salt blocks for the deer, damned cows and donkeys eatin them.

Cashed in 11 points on a good antelope unit. Can't wait!

Why not? Homeless people are notorious fire starters.

Two oldest daughters got a couple antelope buck tags.

Fat guy talking here…… in Arby defense, this is their first burger that I’ve known them to make. It tastes like a Jack in the box burger. Doesn’t suck, just isn’t good considering the advertising lol. And it’s arbys?? What did you expect? Haha!!! Side note, I’ve been eating a salad with balsamic and bare chicken breast for lunch everyday for a month and a special k 180 calorie bar for breakfast.

Roosevelt no brainer lots of water less traffic everywhere have fun you can find a beach set up some shade and fish off the beach if you want to. Stay at the resort if it’s a long day or camp at the beach. Fantastic memories for the kids!!

Did a 1 3/4 day a few weeks ago with my daughters. Slayed the bluefin 40-100 lbs. Limited out for both days the first night. Get out there guys, it is a great year!

Honestly that is a high resistance connection. The wire was loose or corroding causing it to heat up. Trim it back clean the terminals on the breaker and reconnect it.
