A few years back I made a mesquite slab table for my wife’s plants and cut some mesquite logs for the legs. My wife liked the look of the live edge on the legs even though there were some bug holes in the sap wood. When cutting, plaining and sanding the wood for the legs lots of beetle larva came out of the woodwork. Put on lots finish and didn’t think much of it. Then every year for the first year or two we would get a beetle or two that would burrow there way out of the legs and show up on the floor under the table.

Its a special type of person who will pay tons of money for a special breeded high fence hunt and then they can pat themselves on the back after they shot it. Look there is a monster! Shoot it before its runs away!! Oh wait it can't and its used to people petting it. But all jokes aside I would do private property and high fence in a large plot of land for a cheap price. But spending over 5k to shoot a tame animal not really.

Places like what, high fence deer ranches or places that sell genetics? Our elk came from Yellowstone where the best genetics were and we send them to Pennsylvania now. It’s gotta be cheaper and easier to mail sperm than a whole live deer

Have a Taurus magnum judge. Bought new a few months ago. Fired 6 times or so. Will come with a magnum Marsupial holster $500

Next is a bench that closely matches; however, it is not leather. Has a couple of scuffs from being against the wall. Asking $300. I will be also posting this on Craigslist, just thought I'd offer it here first. Wiling to deal a little bit.

That makes sense but I did watch a hunting show about deer like these that was strictly rick folk paying to shoot them to hang on the wall. That was probably two years ago.

Couple of dead heads from days long gone!

Sounds like the guy had a plan for his wife.

TTT...

Disguise it as nest for laying…. But, is that considered baiting now? And what if you had a trail cam monitoring your chickens? Can you use cams to trap, with bait, since you can’t hunt with cams, or bait ???? Im so confused with all these new regs…..

Oh wait Not different then pay a outfitters to take you there and tell you when and what animal to shoot

Most bobcat trappers seem to stay away from baits and are using bobcat urine and gland lure

One time the main range was closed and I shot on that 500m range, it was great. Wish they Would just charge like $25 bucks or something a day to use it

I hate thieves! I was going to say something about scammers but I may get banned. So..@*&% them!

I am not a fan of that personally but I am sure folks with a lot of money will pay for those freaks, nothing but all natural horns for me, whether perfect match or drop tines or weird ones....

Yep, they've been pretty persistent lately. Most are long time members here so you might not know or remember but when signing up for an account here, Amand has put a couple of things in place that are specifically designed to try to keep bots/spam to a minimum. Firstly, when the new user initially tries to sign-up there is challenge-response authentication step in place that is primarily designed to curb bot attacks. Secondly, the user then can't post or sign-in until they reply to the initial e-mail that is sent (This is a standard internet account authentication step that is designed as much to protect the user as it is the site....). Even with those standard protocols in place, of course scammers/fakers are still persisting and getting through. Best advice I have is to try to ignore them as 'white noise' and know that the moderators are doing our best to delete the erroneous accounts as quickly as possible. S.

I have a membership for Rio and have been going there since the early 80's. If I need to shoot targets past 200 yards I go out in the desert during the week when there are fewer people.

The stocking will likely have the biggest impact for spring 2024 as most ppl understand I think, but we'll likely have a mix of fish, some fingerling and some capable of spawning this year. There were no fish left last summer except carp and some gizzard shad which all perished as the lake completely dried. As some have explained the lake is very capable of rebounding all on its own from naturally occurring fish in the Gila and those washed down from Talkalai during flooding. 2017-18 gave the Lake enough water and time to do the above mentioned process which is what is also predicted for '23-'24. When the Lake dries it creates a very fertile environment which can explode with aquatic life should those area fill with water as in a "New Lake Effect". Here's Old San Carlos area late August of last year and the same area yesterday. DAN

Here are a few mounts that recently left the shop. The elk was taken by Justin R. with his muzzleloader and grosses over 390". View the full article
