This was yesterday there is a big difference than when I was there a month ago.

Just got back, fished for around 6 hours and got about 30. Got bored and came home, the fishing is excellent.

If a modern truck is ruined by 100k the owner abused the heck out of it. Except fords. If you make it to 100k babying a ford the whole time it’s still gone at least twice the life expectancy.

Selling my Christensen Mesa long range with a vortex viper pst 5-25x50. Great gun and shoots lights out, Only has 60 rounds fired through it. I do have a RCBS die, shell holder and brass to go with it. Looking to get get $2100 for the setup, I am willing to split the two if someone wants either or. Located north Phoenix.

I have a 2017 Silverado 1500, Z71 crew cab, 91k miles, greenish grey color. Aftermarket bumper, bilstein shocks. My new truck should be here Beginning oh July so I can sell soon.

tons of snow still in northern Utah. they just announced that the will start clearing 2 passes that are still packed. strawberry reservoir is clear, water temp 42. tons of strong run off everywhere I've been. Never seen so much water. a lot of small streams look more like long lakes. driving by Powel was really interesting. A huge difference from just a couple months ago. Doesn't look so horrible anymore. But of course still under 35%.

I had a 07 ranger and it was great. Unfortunately, purchasing one is not in the finances until the pesky alimony bill is done.

After a few hours I did not have any issues. I just had coughing and sneezing. The javelina were more scared of the noise. I walked over into the wash where I sprayed several hours later and started coughing again. I then decided Bear Spray was absolutely the LAST resort. One old wise cuss taught me that handguns were only used to fight to get to the long guns. I guess the bear spray is used to get to the handguns before that.

Thread reminds me I need to go fishing. CW sponsored cod fishing trip.

Justifiable poaching your honor!

What is it to You . You no nothing about how many times I been on others hunts . Is everyone in that Town like you?

LOL, guys and their sheep draw complaints. Can't win if you do not play. BFD if you never get a tag. They look terrible mounted and most are as tender as leather. Only because they are such a limited resource, are guys so bricked up to shoot one. Hopefully I draw a tag at some point in my life and let my son or daughter plug one to piss off Bob.

if bob thinks it’s well said, better reevaluate your thinking.

I just want to be able to post with my ram in my avatar!

The odds difference between 0 points and 30 points is virtually nothing. It amazes me that some of you think a guy waiting 40 years should have no edge on the newbies. The system we have raises virtually no increased odds until you get to the bonus point pass. Nevadas squared point system is a more fair way for sheep in AZ. 40 years is a lot of money and time invested. A 10 year old who has drawn only because his dad applied him has little interest, zero time invested and should have much less odds than the person who has applied 40 straight years. Our current system gives very little to the long term applicant until you hit the bonus point pass. We don't have to pick a side, how about we improve the draw system. A lot of states are making changes for once in a lifetime species, but unfortunately Arizona can't even get the website to work correctly.

Powell is now up 42.5ft from its low this year

And yet Cubans have been keeping American cars running for 70+ years since the embargo with duct tape and bacon grease.

I have a Lincoln Navigator and Ford Ranger in the family both from mid 90’s with 250,000+ on them. My old man has a v8 vortec Chevy with 235k. You all don’t know how to do PM’s on trucks if you think 100k is end of life.

Today is the day !!! Up and loaded still not 100% set . Thermal is on at 25 yds bit I'll have to try another trick to get it set further. On the road early to get my buddy . 16 hours to texas here we come.

Well update for you folks. Finally got the call for payment of tag and now it shows up in portal account. There where multiple employees of azgfd that were sick over last few weeks that had to sign off on my tag getting to me. It was confirmed that it was a mess up for the lifetime license holders in the bonus pass, they capped them with the 10%. Woo-hoo chasing bugling bulls with my bow.

Here is how I shoot from 80 yards when I'm on. This is an old pic, but a good for instance.

Ok, I'm not here to say I did the most ethical thing of all time. I wanted that buck, and I punched the release. I had taken a practice shot early that morning, and I felt good. I told my self I'd shoot 80 yards if I needed to, I think I actually said that out loud. As it turned out, the bucks stop was false...he looked when we grunted, and slowed, but did not come to a stop. But that arrow was gone. If I had led him any further, I risked hitting the tree. I held front of shoulder and sent it. Well, I watched that arrow disappear right smack in his paunch. I checked the arrow for confirmation. Sure enough, it was coated with green slime. So, we turned around and left. We did not look for that buck until the following morning. I was on pins and needles, everything in me wanted to go look for that buck, but we gave him nearly 24 hours. The next morning, I found him lying maybe 150 yards from where I shot him, tops. Full disclosure, he was in Princess Bride mode, so I put one more in him. I thought a lot about not publishing this story, it's not super epic, and the shot was questionable. But I'm glad it worked out. He tastes awful. So, he will be nothing but chili and taco meat for palatability. He was a big, rutted up, gut shot muley. Lol.

I got this same call, supposedly calling back this week to get the credit card info for the tag. Lifetime with 16 points for unit 9 archery.

Mt. Lion tag... Glassed up several, never have killed one. I'd guess I have burned atleast 20 of them.
