    Truck sold in one day of listing, $15.5k. Gonna leave this thread open for future listings and educate people on the value of these vehicles. Also going to continue to change my oil every 3k miles or so on the new rig.

    Recently got this mount back from Weller's Wildlife Studio in Tucson. Cat was called and taken in February of 2023. They did a great job, it was worth the wait.

    We have it and love it. I have used it in numerous camps and it always works perfectly. My gf is an accountant with large data files and she was working remotely online from elk camp as i streamed tv mid day during scounting breaks. It worked great with a jackery and some solar panels

    Well Charlie Brown just got picked up about 10 minutes ago. I really think He will be loved and treated well. To see the look on both those girls faces, when they saw Charlie. Was worth the loss of such a good puppy. Thank you for coming and getting Him. Hope you enjoy Him as much as I did. Thanks Billy

    OK. I'm not perfect by any means or stretch of the imagination, but is anyone else surprised by the amount of dislike, anger, or just plain nastiness being displayed in this post, and on a Sunday which is considered to be a day for worship and kindness by many Christians throughout the world? Is the stress of politics, finances, etc. affecting us so much that we attack each other on a forum that we profess to have similar interests and goals? Wow guys, let's take a step back and take a breather. Yes the manufacturers say that synthetic oil is good up to 10,000 miles. But what harm to the vehicle occurs if the oil is changed more frequently? How much of the lubrication is lost by 3,000 miles especially in our harsh conditions of excessive heat? Maybe wasted money and may not be. And if the vehicle is priced too high for everyone then it won't sell. But what if it is worth that much to someone? If seller and buyer are happy isn't that a perfect deal? My values may not be the same as others, but does that make others or myself wrong? Should I hold everyone else to my value system? That sounds more like a different form of government than I wish to support. We just finished the 4th of July celebrations. Perhaps trying to remember why and what we celebrated will help us promote a more forgiving environment. Maybe if we put more effort and energy into researching and elected people who best represent what we want then we won't carry so much angst and animosity. I know I need to keep improving and reflecting and I invite you to do the same. Let's try to keep Coueswhitetail a great environment for all with a sincere and positive desire to share and help in hunting and it's natural challenges and rewards. Kindly and sincerely, Russ.

    We got back July 3 from a family vacation in Belize. We spent all but the last two full days/day we left on Caye Caulker, leaving early for the mainland because of the predictions at the time for Hurricane Beryl. It was predicted to hit our area the day we were leaving (7/3) before slowing down and changing course. I told my wife I'm not going to Caye Caulker and not going flats fishing. Everyone was on board with the plan, so I booked two boats with Chasin' Tail. Jacob and I were paired up in the other boat for our flats fishing day on Caye Caulker. This would be my 4th time chasing bonefish, my third time with a only a fly rod. Jacob and I worked out a deal that he had first chance at any tarpon we came across if I could have first chance at bonefish. He's hooked and jumped a tarpon, but never landed one. I've been through all three stages of tarpon fishing, and did it with my Orvis 9wt, so I get that he wanted to land one. We were in rolling tarpon right away, but casting a 12wt fly rod is tough. I've never cast a 12wt, so I can't blame Jacob for switching to spin gear quickly. Unfortunately, the tarpon weren't cooperating after the switch to spin gear/live bait, so we moved to the bonefish flats. I grabbed my Orvis 8wt, stepped up to the platform, and made sure our guide and I were on the same page for communicating fish locations and distances. Full disclosure: I've never been good at casting long distance with saltwater fly rods. It took a minute to find bones in the sea grass, but our guide called out 50-60 feet at 11 o'clock! I laid out a beautiful cast and remember thinking "I did it! There's my victory for the day!" Then a bonefish took my Crazy Charlie, but I missed the hookset. The tug got my heart racing, but I kept stripping and missed a second hook set on the same cast. I felt this one on better and even saw the fish off the bow. We moved around, looking for another school when it happened. I laid out another 60-foot cast, felt the take, and set the hook. I managed to pay out the line and let the fish take the reel. It’s true what they say about bonefish. They are smaller, but they are extremely powerful. It put up a helluva fight, made one reel-screaming run, and put a serious bend in my 8wt rod. We boated it, took some pictures, and (my favorite part), I was able to remove the fly and set it free myself. It barely left the water. I fought back every emotion I've ever had on this journey. I sat down, told Jacob it was his turn, and only left my seat again to help get him those longer casts. I found what I needed and wanted. I tried my best to make it about the fish, but I realized it never was and never will be. I spent the rest of the day, and a big part of the rest of the trip admiring that beautiful fish and all it stands for. We couldn't get the bones to cooperate for Jacob, despite our best efforts. We ended up going back to tarpon spots, where our guide handed me a spinning rod and told us both to cast out. Who am I to say no? Jacob caught a Spanish mackeral at our first stop and then hit the motherlode. A tarpon hit his line shortly after it hit the water, but the hook didn't get set. Jacob and the guide saw the tarpon jump, but I was busy admiring the bend in his rod and the sound of line peeling from the reel. Jacob got rebaited, cast back out, and was hooked up within minutes of his line hitting the water. It wasn't a tarpon, but he landed a nice Jack crevalle. He rebaited again, cast back out, and was hooked up again! Another, bigger Jack crevalle. It happened two more times with the rebaiting and hooking up within a couple of minutes of his bait hitting the water, landing a grey snapper and dogtooth snapper. All told, Jacob landed four fish within 20 minutes, all while my line was 20-30-feet from his line. I wasn't even upset. I had what I needed, and I never ever get tired of watching my kids find fishing success. My wife and daughter were in the other boat, and they had an awesome day on the water, too. My wife never fails to amaze me. Their boat stopped for bait for tarpon on spin gear, and my wife hooked up instantly. She hooked into and landed a 50-60", 60-lb tarpon! I'd have loved to see that play out. Sydney got some fly-casting pointers and cast to and landed a nice bonefish! Syd caught a few snapper, too. Minnie has now landed one more tarpon than I have (2 total for her) and both of hers really showcase how mine is considered a baby tarpon. Sorry for the sideways pics. This always happens to me and I don't know how to make it not do that.

    Great watch - thank you for sharing. I was surprised by the barrels vs nylon barrels but what the heck do I know.. Guy is a stud to take that on. I would have liked to see what he all packed as well. Would have been interesting how he prepared the rations for 100+ days (plus one restock).

    The new gen iPhone is supposed to be able to satellite text for a small fee as well. Currently running an inreach mini and it works, but isn’t convenient https://www.tomsguide.com/phones/iphones/apples-message-via-satellite-works-just-like-imessage-and-itll-be-free-to-start-with

    I’ve had it for a few years now at home and have no complaints. It’s only ever glitched once in a bad snow storm. I’ve never had any other internet to compare it to but it runs my security cameras, tv, and phone just fine.

    Does changing your oil too often hurt the vehicle? Asking for a friend?
