MULEPACKHUNTER

Bump for great rig. Wish it wasn't hunting time I would grab this baby for the cabin.

Man that's a heck of a string great memories

Thanks for the info. Glad you caught it in time

Think a little more north and I'll do the Verde with you. 5 day trip from cottonwood to horseshoe lake or Bartlet

Makes sense I didn't think of quail. Well hopefully you get some takers on the pelts so you can blast away and help out the rancher.

Sorry I could have worded this better, I too am in the hunt for some predators and hope to get a few coyotes under my belt, I plan on using them to sack out my mules and tan the hides as well. I was just thinking more like with fox and some smaller predators they are not a threat to livestock or deer much so do alot of guys take them and just leave them? I would think like coyotes are prolific and can effect deer and other game so I can understand population control there but guys that go after fox and bobcat and the like would be using them in the fur trade or for trophies? Is there such a population of these species that they really need our control hunting to the point where we would let them lay like a coyote? Like I said I was meaning to spark conversation not criticize. I have always been open on the fact that I am inexperienced.

Open forum so you get what you get. I won't criticize your endeavor but with me being new to hunting and you being pretty much seasoned compared to me please ex plain your mentality on killing animals just for the sake of killing them?

OK on the hush hush anyone have any connections for some R12 ac charging on a 1990 Toy 4x4? My buddy finally ran out of juice and I just got my truck back from a full rebuild overhaul and my AC was low. My mechanic wont mess with it so was hoping someone might have a freind, I have lots of tradeables including cash. I would also consider knowledge on converting to 134, I know very little on how or cost? Thanks in advance.

Update. Bought 55 dollar retro kit from Napa and screwed 2 fittings on then charged with 134 and drove around in a jacket. I was expecting a pain in the rear.

I am not understanding the rule for tag transfer. I read the regs and Since my daughter fits the bill and did not draw I am thinking of donating my tag to her. It says that either myself, grandparent or guardian has to be within 50 feet of her during the hunt??? What the heck is that??? Can I giver her the tag or not I am not understanding the reasoning there? Of course I wouldnt miss her first deer tag for anything but just thought that was a strange deal. What if I was unable to go and thats why I was transferring?

I would have moved to my left and flung one through all three with my rifle then call 2 buddies to use their tags then not mark my tag drive out not get stopped fill freezer and be back in my blind the next morning,,,,,You said honest not serious. LOL anyway very good thinking but you could wait until the one you really want is in a good position and if not let them walk or shoot the back one, lots of ok decisions in that shot.

Correct. Buy online tickets and you get craws fo sho. 25 bucks adults get 3lbs and 12 bucks for teens and down get 2lbs. They said 1500 lbs was local and then they were shipping in a bunch as well. Expect 5000 attendees this year.

Good deal. Going to do that. Archery here I come. Its not like the odds of tagging archery are in my favor anyway. Lol I always tell my wife's non hunting girlfriends not to worry the deer aren't in much danger when I have my bow. Lol thanks guys I will confirm at gf office and transfer tag latrr

Good deal maybe I will see ya up that way

Wow, monsters. what kind of scores are we looking at there? 400 on the left and 370 on the right???

Make sure you pre register for the crawfish, they are expecting to run out this year.

Thats what I was thinking, I guess I will have to transfer it now and ask when I am down there

Something I was just thinking was I have my Rifle tag and want to transfer it to my daughter but I am going Archery so If I tag a deer can I still transfer the Rifle tag or do I have to do that first and will it still be valid if I tag something in August?

Very true . in the end when I'm on the mountain alone I never think of material only friends family and the amazing animals who I spent time with.

Nice and welcome

Ha ha deal. Sushi after

I was able to go up recently in a single eng plane and we were up for about 2 hours and just fuel was 95 bucks on a 125 horse motor. Figure 65 bucks an hour for fuel plus pilot so maybe 150 an hour for plane if you can find someone. Its tuff to mark stuff and see where the heck your at in a plane for sure so I say Google earth and boots.

Ya funny rule. I can only guess they want you to mentor and spend family time or something or maybe way back it stopped some kind of abuse of transfer. If I decide to do it I will be there so no issue on my end. By the way is there a deadline to transfer or do I have some time? Mainly I just want to be sure she deserves it still at that time before I do it. If she keeps her nose clean its hers. Lol i am pulling for her but 16 and just got her first truck so you never know.

Prayers

Both, I am getting ready to do my first DIY bedding job, I will post up when done. Mauser model 2000 30/06
