  1. Nice job on the canoe. Fantastic idea. Did you mount a trolling motor to it? I wonder if AZGFD would want to do a cash grab and need it registered since it may have a motor on it? They informed a buddy of mine he needed registration, when he mounted a 30# MinnKota tiller on 13ft Old Town years back at Blue Ridge. I picked up a couple teal while out doing some late season elk scouting on Saturday.

    Right handed left eye dominant shooter?

    I am right handed and left eye dominant. I shoot rifles, shotguns and bows left handed. Play golf, tennis and shoot a pistol right handed. Never seemed to have an issue. I use right handed rifles/shotguns that either have the safety on top or one that I can swap to the other side.

    Pickin' Ppears!

    Here's an apricot chile BBQ sauce that I make to use with spare ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, etc. I'll try and sub out the apricot with the reduced prickly pear juice. 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion 3 cloves of finely minced garlic 1 1/4 cups apricot preserves 1 cup ketchup 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup rice vinegar 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 can of Hatch green chiles 1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotles in adobo plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the can 1 tablespoon yellow mustard Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add apricot preserves, ketchup, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Hatch chiles, chipotles, adobo sauce, and mustard and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened slightly, about 20 minutes. Puree sauce with an immersion blender, or transfer sauce to the jar of a regular blender, and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let cool to room temperature, transfer to a jar or container, and refrigerate until ready to use; sauce can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to 2 weeks

    Sleeping Cots

    If I'm car camping, I run the Cabela's Camp Cot. Heavy, but very sturdy, easy to setup and no creaking. Works great.

    Favorite boots

    I've been running the Danner Gila for 2 years now. Yearly stats on them are 10+ quail hunting trips, 3+ days of HAM javi, 1 elk trip, 1 leftover deer trip, countless scouting trips and occasional hikes on the north side of Squaw Peak. Great boots, no issues. However, quite a few people are saying that Crispi is the way to go. When my Gilas run out of life, I may try and give those a go. Prior to my Gilas, I was running Vasque Skywalks (older Red Wing version made in Italy) for 10+ years. Hundreds of miles with no issues. Resoled twice and a few sets of laces. I still have them and wear them from time to time.

    Easy Meals while camping?

    Smoke a pork shoulder prior to your trip. Vacuum seal it and freeze it. Add pork to a decent Japanese ramen or soup and done. Easy meal.

    Animal crackers' animals "freed"

    You may want to setup a VPN to run your Sling and other streaming devices. By doing that and routing it thru another location (eg. Texas). That should "geo-locate" you to another area to where you should be able to get D-Backs games.

    Sous vide elk burger

    Looks really good. Never thought about doing a sous vide burger, but definitely something I'd like to try. Your previous post on elk pastrami motivated me to try one. I have an elk roast that's been in the brine for 7 days. Pulling it tomorrow and then in a smoker over oak until it hits about 150*.

    Filled the YETTI

    Nice! I'll be out there tonight in a white/teal Champion 181 trying for a similar result. May start at the river or down by the dam. Still deciding.....

    Now I know, check your worms...

    Seems like most of the time, the ones in the white styro cups are half dead. Liar's Korner always has good nightcrawlers. Plus it's a great tackle shop. Try that place next time.
  20. Sure will. I wish this were closer to the valley. Aaron Franklin has a great episode on YouTube on building a tank into a smoker. Seems like a ton of the old school Texas stick burners use old tanks.

    Badlands Diablo $80

    I just went thru this exact scenario. I had a pack with bad zippers (who doesn't with Badlands packs??) that I had to send back. Went on their website and wrote that it was a Superday. Looked like the closest one to me. Didn't seem to matter too much. Repaired the zippers and back to me that same week. Bump for a great deal.
