    Confidence building in teens, what have you done?

    All great advice, thanks guys. She has expressed an interest in boxing so I'm planning on visiting some of the places here in town and poke around a little

    That sounds like some great teaching. My one word of caution would be never use deer camouflage while hunting during a rifle season. You don't want someone shooting at you thinking you are an actual deer! I think you need to be patient until the next AZ hunt. Full bodies are hard to come by right now. Very interested in seeing more of your posts.

    Confidence building in teens, what have you done?

    Thanks Adam! She doesn't like the idea of Karate I think because it's like the first thing nerds do to defend themselves. Which i suppose may be true, so thats why i was thinking more mma or boxing. In the end i feel like its my fault for being way too hard on my kids in the beginning, wish I could go back.

    Yoshi, what hunt do you have? You may not need to even spend money.

    Awesome to see you teaching the next generation. Once upon a time I was gonna be a teacher, then I found out I can't stand other people's children. Now I own a business and I'm essentially a babysitter of grown men. Only marginally better then being a teacher. Unfortunately it's the wrong time of year for your needs, next deer hunt will be in August. So are you basically looking for a hide?

    Elk Back Pack

    I have a eberlestock team elk pack that I like. Has two long vertical pockets, one on each side. One holds my 65mm spotter and the other one can fit a tripod depending on which you use. Also a great meat pack. I have the Dragonfly too but it's a heavy pack. Keep an eye on camofire.

    Flooring installation question

    First off what is your intention? Trying to sell or just change the flooring? Secondly, is the tile bonded well to the concrete or are there a bunch of hollow tiles? If there is a good mechanical you DO NOT have to remove it. Here's a few things to consider. Is your floortrim installed on top of the tile or up against it? If it is installed on top of the tile and you remove the tile there will be a gap of about 3/8 of an inch between the floor and the bottom of the trim. If you go back with vynil planks the gap will be too big since the planks are much thinner then the tile. For those saying remove it you must consider if the tile has been there 15 years it could have been painted several times. Now when you remove the tile you will have to go around and scrape any remaining grout and mortar off all the areas where it was installed up against floortrim and door jambs. After you do this you will likely have a very visible line where the tile went up too and possibly 2 different color paint lines. Now your new flooring will not cover the old line because it is thinner. Now your tile demo is bow going to cost you repair or possible replacement of floortrim and door jambs. I remodel bank owned properties to put back on the market. We do everything but the floors. The floor contractor routinely skim coats tile and goes right on top of it with glue down plank flooring. Feel free to pm me if you want to talk over the phone at all for any advice or pointers.

    Got My Buck Back...

    Great buck! Looks majestic on the wall with that fancy mantle and blinds. Very regal indeed. Is that your dining room?

    While it Seems cool it's just another thing that gives too much of an edge to hunters IMO.

    Hydro Dipping Euro Mount

    I've seen videos of guys using spray paint floating on water to dip. There is a pic of a javelina skull in the javi forum, in the Lets see all the cool stuff thread.. However, I like euro mounts just how yours is. If it aint broke don't fix it.

    2019 Mexico hunt

    Crap I missed this! Great Buck Dennis! So your buddy that shot the 1x2, was that his first ever buck or first Mexico buck? Congrats man! That's a beutiful buck! And your trophy wall makes me feel fairly inadequate! I really dig the buck on bottom left with the crab claw and double main beam!

    Rifle for my wife

    Also a great caliber all around for kids, ladies and adults in my opinion. My kids have 2 cows down with it. Both went under 20 yards. One shot at 180yds, one at less then 100.

    Good Contractors

    When the economy tanked a lot of the good guys went and found other work. The guys who couldnt cut it elesewhere were left to teach the new guys. Now its the guys who are owners and still on the jobs doing the work are the ones to hire. If you hire a contractor ask who will be performing the work, if not the owner ask about the crew and who is in charge of it.

    well place shot

    Don't mind the questions that might seem rude, they are legitimate questions. You seem new to hunting which is great, this site has tons of info and helpful people. Lances post above is spot on. I tell my kids follow the back of the front leg straight up and right in mid body let her rip. Use premium ammo, whatever shoots good out of your gun with good ballistics is what you want. Hang around here for awhile. Ask questions and contribute to other threads. People around here will be much more willing to help someone who is a part of the forum. Often times guys draw tags come here for help with their first post and never come back to even say thanks. DONT BE THAT GUY! My point is, Guys here are happy to help just make sure to give back where you can.
  24. Been watching some videos on YouTube with some pretty convincing subsonic ammo. I got an AR10 sitting with an 80% lower I will soon finish but I'm thinking about selling it to go this route and just make it the predator gun. I want to be able to kill a lion if the opportunity presents itself and want to know what range I should stay within to stay lethal with some of these more modern cartridges.
