Do they not offer anything after 5pm the night before the hunt starts? So those surrendered tags that don't get filled just mean a few less goats shot this year? I already mentioned it, but all I could think about last night was getting that call for 5b. After trailing my son for those 9 days on the archery hunt before he killed and watching those bucks pass by at 120 yards and/or stomp their feet as we got picked off time and time again....I couldn't help but think revenge on just one more of them! haha

oh good call. I'll start at 165 for about 30min then go up about 10 degrees every 30 min to 185 or so adding smoke at each interval,.so total cook/smoke time about 2 hours. Then open the vents and go up to 225 for 15-20 min and the bacon will crisp up. You can also cheat and pull them and put in the oven on broil for about 10min. Way better with the bacon crispy.

I wish I got that call. Just spent 10 days there. Even if could just hunt weekend, you can cover enough ground to see enough goats. But not having any time up there and risking 26 points? I don't blame you. Hopefully you get a crack at it next year, you are 7 years ahead of me.

Filet and wrap with a slice of green chili and/or jalepeno and a piece of bacon. Hold together with a tooth pick and smoke (165-185deg). We do this with duck and quail as well. Always comes out as delicious apps for Tgiving/Xmas or poker night.

Somehow the kid keeps getting goat tags. 1st in 2015 (rifle), 2nd in 2017 (archery) (dual mount pic) and again this year (archery). He did great on the first two and on day 9 this year hit the trifecta. He had some great help from some great friends and even forgave me (I think) for not getting a last second range for him on day 3 after being pinned down for over an hour and ranging the buck 10 times, I lost my mind when it came time to pull the trigger and GUESSED short (in my defense I was blacking out from pain). Several other close calls during the week including one tank at 65 that just didn't work out and I don't know how many miles,, a few pretty sunsets and all good times! If he draws yet another tag before I do, I don't think I"ll be as proud and happy for him again (jk). Good luck to the rest of the antelope hunters this year!

That's great and totally agree. Wish you/him the best on it!

That's awesome, did you sign the tag over or did he draw it? Rough year in 10 from what I have heard....

That larger buck was his 15 rifle buck. It is a dandy. I think final scores was 84-7/8 with 17-1/8 total length on one side and 16-7/8 on the other. Pretty symmetrical and the ivory tips were a bonus. Hit 10 in just a great year.

I added some pics. It looks like a quality made upper and lower and from my understand do some custom finishing with phosphorus coating and match grade triggers. I'm not sure where he won it, but can ask him. From what I read they do well. He is interested in selling the package if anyone is interested let me know. The closest comp I can find is rifle only for $1500, I think that is what he is asking with 800rnds of ammo, case, extra mags, red dot, case etc.... He did fire it once (I'm guessing about 200 rnds worth).

Well this is kind of a classified add - I have a buddy who won a Layke Industry AR and is now looking to sell. I see their site and few on a 3rd party site for sale, but I haven't talked to anyone that has heard of them. I'm trying to help him with value of the gun ( I see what it sells for) but hard to get value for something nobody knows about plus he isn't one just to throw up on a broker site. Is there anyone that happens to know much about them and desirability? Great looking machine work on the receiver, kind of an unusual laminate wood stock however. Thanks in advance

Yes--every time so far. I usually have an old aluminum arrow zip tied to the end that goes into the drum to keep the hose straight and to the bottom of the tank if you are using it on big tanks. If just on 6gal for washing meat or whatever then you don't need.

Tortoise with 50 gal habitat, heat lamp, basking lamp, shelter, pond and food dish. Owned for 1.5 years and fully grown. $100 Call or text Josh 480-369-4923

Updated with picture. It is funny that they become attached. He will follow us around the house or yard. Tortoise itself was $120, habitat, lights and all that are around $150. We have some dirt and supplies as well to get a new owner started. Holler if interested.

Hard to lift a 50 gal jug above an rv fill and the pressure works great to wash down meat (yourself included). Here is my pump. I mounted it to a board for ease of use.

Sure, I'll take a picture in the morning. I've probably had this one for 15-20 years.

We just use a 12v water pump like they put in rvs. A clear hose and electrical run to a cigarette lighter with an online on\off switch. Works great for hosing off game meat or a quick shower too I carry one in a little duffel in the truck

No not like those monsters at the zoo. He is an inside tortoise. Just in a habitat. I'll post a picture tomorrow but he is full grown at around 6" i would guess. He will walk around outside or around house but just back to cage for the most part

I believe it is a Russian box or a hermanns. But will verify if I can find the pet club receipt. If you know how I can tell otherwise, let me know. Thank you

25x11 r12 and 25x10 r12. Off of a 2016 ranger 900. I split time with these tires and another set. I would say 50-60% condition. Call or text Josh 480-369-4923

sold, please delete. Thank you

They are spf on Thursday. If something happens where they don't sell, I will text you. Thank you

Never hunted 9 but will say we had our first archery goat tag 2 years ago (my son and he drew again this year) and got a lot of trial by fire. I think it was stalk 25 or 26 on day 7 when it all came together. Four or five other stalks during the week resulted in bow range but couldn't get it done for one reason or another. The goat decoy (dunton) worked twice as I recall but didn't work several times (they love to get to about 100-120 with it and turn away). We ran to town and got the cow decoy on day 5 or 6 and didn't work a few times but then worked like a charm on the one that counted. And two stalks without anything got within bow range as the cover worked out. We were in 10 so couldn't sit water but wasn't high on his list to do anyway. I think the biggest lesson we learned after day 3 or 4 was to pick your poison and not go after everything. We probably put in 5-6 stalks in each of the first couple of days and after that it was 2 or 3 with mostly better results. Fun to hunt a species that you can learn as you go and still have opportunity each day! Good luck!

sent you a pm. Thanks

4.5"

I'm almost positive it is the same. let me measure and get right back to you
