My favorite hunt. Look forward to reports.

My father was a horse trainer, and I grew up around horses and cattle. I showed horses and team roped when I was younger. The boys need to learn to swing a rope and ride a horse before they can rope from one. Everybody is different but my father would not let me rope from a horse until I could beat him on the ground. My recommendation would be to buy each kid a rope, a steer dummy and practice. If you do this, I could at least teach them how to swing a rope and catch a dummy consistently. Sorry, sold the horses many years ago. Good Luck I would like to tag along on that prospecting deal. Something I have always wanted to learn.

where are you located?

Looks like an early Christmas present. Now, if elected officials can work together and get chit done these next four years, we might be able to right this ship for the foreseeable future.

The how do you camp thread made me start to think about other related things. As I get older, I still have the heart and desire to get out there in the woods and hunt, camp or fish but I find myself going less and less even though I have more time now than I ever have. Talking with other people around my age we have decided the getting packed up to go, setting up camp, tearing down and then putting everything away at home is to too much of a pain. It seems it's too easy to just stay at home and not go. Anyone else feel like this or am I just being a Big ol' Wus?

I am looking forward to reports from this hunt. Anyone have any reports from the early hunt?

They make errors from time to time. My father was once given two tags.

Call me skeptical but something is amiss here. Both guys have never posted on here before.

A lot of great careers in the skills areas and there is HUGE demand for people willing to work and who have the appropriate skills. I recommend he take an aptitude test and find out what he is mostly suited for or at least point him in right direction. There are lots of them out there on internet. My school district subscribes to one, but I also use O*net online. www.onetonline.org Too many people start out in careers that they end up hating because it isn't a good fit for them.

Good Morning

My nephew lives near a golf course in flagstaff, and he has been hearing the bugles early morning for last few days.

I'd happily pay 5 times that amount if I could fit into those sizes again. GLWS

Lifetime licenses are the number one fundraiser item. They sell out quicker than anything and you have to move quick once people find out there is an auction for one. I rarely even look at the other stuff. I already have a lifetime license, but the winner can gift it to a child or grandchild living in AZ. Do a bunch more of these.

If you end up buying at Discount they will price match. However, they will not price match costco tire center unless you specifically tell them to.

I find politics very interesting, but I hate the state of politics right now. Definitely not feeling optimistic about the future of our country.

They should be rubbing that off any day now.

I got a general and a quad so I don't need one, but this is tempting. These Rhinos fit in the bed of a full size truck. GLWS

Personally, I have never seen this used. However, a friend had a 13B tag a few years ago and he said he saw guys using devices like what you are describing. Technolgy is changing exponentially, and it seems some guys need every advantage they can get. Kinda sad really.

Wish I knew this a month ago. I just dropped off 4-5 tires and wheels at local firestone for them to dispose of.

Sadly, this is very true.

I've seen that truck in Bashas parking lot on 99th ave

I used to occasionally just throw a tarp on the ground and put my bedroll on it. This was almost always when I was by myself. 6-7 years ago, I did this around Mormon mountain because I didn't get to my camp spot until around midnight and I didn't want to set up my entire camp at that time. About 3:00 in the morning something wakes me up as I feel something walking on me. I look down my body as a lay there and two skunks were walking on top of my bag. Scared the heck out of me. Shooed them off and after about 30 minutes was able to fall back to sleep to only have another one start walking on my tarp. By then I was up and that was the last time I ever slept on the ground like that. The man who would shoe our horses back in early 80's who was hunting near jacks canyon and a skunk crawled into his bag and bit him all over. He had to do the whole rabies shot thing.

I love to camp but it seems most my friends and family don't anymore except for hunts. In the process of building a cabin in my hunt unit (finalizing plans) but I will probably still camp out for hunts. I think a lot of what determines how people hunt is if females come along. My wife was a trooper when we dated and when kids were young. Not so much anymore. She and girls will rent a hotel room nearby and me and guys usually camp out. From my experience, women never go backwards, only forward.

Still doing the kodiak canvas tent thing. I have a nice setup that makes it very comfortable and works for my needs and budget.

Dang, they breed poodles to everything. Never heard of these. GLWS
