Getting my Gould's completed my Royal slam so I thought I would share a photo of each. Posted in the order I took them. Merriam's Rio's Eastern's Osceola's Gould's

Well my turn finally came and I drew a bonus pass tag on the second hunt for a Gould's tag. I was dieing to get in the woods after all the Gould's photos were posted last week. Finally got to the woods yesterday afternoon set up camp and had a few hours to do some scouting. First thing this morning I had another hunter move in on the birds I was calling in off the roost and it was game over for both of us. The scouting from the day before really paid off and we hurried to our plan B spot. We were able to locate and call in this strutting tom and his 7 hens. It was a short hunt and we were done by 6:45 this morning. I look forward to putting in for Merriam's again and getting to hunt for myself more often.

3 Females. Ready for homes this week. Mom Penny has light brown fur and the dad Gus is darker.

Its a two edged sword. More enforcement would be good but I could also see only purple haired, hunter hating, man buns being hired on as new USFS employees.

The onslaught of people living on public lands will, at some point, cause a whole new set of rules for public land use that will likely negatively affect us all.

Transfer Tactical in Queen Creek has Glock 23s for $339. http://transfertactical.com//

Found at an old hidden mining camp. It was wedged into a rock protected crevice. Im guessing about 100 years old and held about 1/2 gallon.

Neat finds are everywhere. While digging a water line last week, unearthed this medicine bottle. Has the Owen's Glass Co hallmark and a 1920 manufacture date.

Even back then they knew not to drink Bud-Light or AB products.

I was helping my brother in law work on a cabin in Lake City, Colorado this weekend! He was doing most of the work I was just a gopher! Found this treasure under the cabin! I’m not a drinker so not sure what year this would be dated?

Like everything else, just start enforcing the rules that are in place - but that doesn't seem to happen anywhere anymore.

I'd throw a wacky rig right at the front corner. You know there's a 5lber there under the shade of the propane tanks.

I can't believe I am posting this.... I bought a used rifle a couple fo weeks ago with a Vortex 4-12 Viper scope mounted on it. It was a decent deal and I've been wanting to try out a 6.5 Creedmoor... so I went ahead and made the purchase. My son came over last night and wanted to see it, so I got it out of the safe and showed it to him. Whattaya know... there are water droplets inside the scope. First and last Vortes ever! Now I get to see first-hand how good their warranty really is... Shame on me.

Those won't last long, great looking labs! I'd be all in but my Lola is in her prime

Sounds pretty awesome to me....

Drew my second Gould’s tag this year with 24 points. Donated my first one back in 2011 to OE4A. Went into the hunt with high expectations and they were definitely met. Thanks to cramerhunts and my buddy Brandon for all the insight. Also. Big thanks to Ryan and Jesse for coming down on the hunt. Bird had a 10.25” beard and no spurs.

There is a post on monstermuleys.com and a NR who has a lifetime license got a call from G&F and said they messed up, and a 3a-3c early archery bull tag was coming his way. He also said they told him NR's with a lifetime license get put into the non-resident draw, not the resident. I always wondered how it worked because numbers on reports never seemed to match. Moving forward it would be nice if their bonus pass and regular draw reports showed all the nr's with lifetime licenses and had a separate column listing the hunts they draw. I think the reason so many people knew they should have drawn was a lot of high point holders cashed in their points and applied this year due to heavy precipitation, late start date for early archery and the realization they probably aren't going to get the hunt they really wanted due to point creep. When a guy with 18 points doesn't draw a tag that can normally be drawn with 14-15 points that makes you do a little research. I'll be honest, I really have my doubts on the soundness of the AZ draw system now. An outside audit of the system looks to be in order.

Didn’t know you were the one selling them ??

Get a bigger tank attachment? My blackstone 2 burner is the best purchase of my life. No cheeseburger can compare to a blackstone cheeseburger. Look at the chicken sandwhich I fried the other day on that mf’er

Vortex. The one and only piece I ever owned, a Vortex Ranger 1000 was absolute garbage!

i don't need this binos but i think i put them for sale in august-spetember before the fall hunts will sale quicker. good luck, it is a great price.
