Thanks again for all the tips guys. Still trying to plan my first day out. Probably won't be till the desert opener.

While it is extremely important to be mindful of what you eat, anyone who quotes Dr. OZ as a reference is a quack in my book. Clean eating with little to no processed foods along with regular exercise is the key. There is no such thing as a 3 step program, magic pill/supplement etc. Be careful where you get your information.

Anyone have tips on setting up a blind on public land? Do you just try to brush yourself in as much as possible before the sun comes up, use a layout blind, or physically build something before your hunt and hope no one takes it?

Great read. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for recognizing that. I realize the amount of hard work and dedication it takes to hunt any animal and would never expect people to just hand over their hard earned spots so I don't ask. I truly appreciate all of the great info this thread has gathered and will take all of it into consideration this fall. My main concern after reading all of these posts is the etiquette issue akaspecials linked to. The only thing I hate about hunting is the amount of disrespect I see in the field. I can only hope duck hunters are a different breed. At the same time I hope I don't piss off some of the veterans while I learn the ropes ha ha.

Thanks guys for the words of wisdom. I have been researching some areas to hunt online (mainly the azgfd website) and am wondering how pressured these areas get? As with all of the other AZGFD spots i'm guessing it's where everyone and their mother goes, but I don't know any duck hunters here in AZ so I'm not sure how popular it is. Also, how effective is scouting for ducks? How long do they typically hold their patterns once you do find some?

I ran out of time to check it out before I went up North this weekend, but sounds like it is worth the visit.

Has anyone ever been to Liar's Corner in Mesa? I just came across it online and was gonna check out what kind of selection they had.

Looks like Usery?

Fishing was pretty slow on Sat. Caught a few, but still a fun time on the lake.

Anyone been to Apache lately? I'm headed up there on Saturday and hope to hear some positive things!

Thanks Coues & Bass!

AZBZ??

I shot again this weekend and now it is not rotating.

I recently got a new string put on my bow and shot it for the first time last night. I noticed that my peep was rotating slightly on the draw. I got a new string to keep this from happening. I am still pretty green when it comes to bow hunting, so I thought I would ask you guys, is there a "break-in" time for a new string or should I take it back to the archery shop?

TTT. Price change $250.

I have a black tonneau cover that came off of a 2000 F150 extended cab with a 6 1/2' bed. It has some scratches and one slightly dented corner. Comes with mounting hardware, but needs to be re-keyed to be lockable. $250 OBO. Open to trades as well.

Sorry no. These have been sold.

I have an apartment sized washer and dryer set that I need to get rid of. Both work perfectly. I am only selling because I got a full size set. $1100 new. Asking $400 OBO for the set. I will update this post with pics and model numbers when I get home.

This is a good point I didn't think of. If it wasn't tied in properly it might not be the string twisting but the peep moving up or down on the string. The peep is tied in really well and no I didn't keep the old string.

Shot again last night and it seemed to be rotating a little less. I am gonna put another 100-200 arrows through it to see where it ends up. From the looks of it I'll still need to adjust my D-loop regardless. Thanks for everyone's input!

Thanks everyone. I'll keep shooting for a week or two then take it back to get re-tied.

Unit 10 Oct. 24th rifle for me.

Yes. Still available.
