    What do you guys think?

    We should absolutely respect the animals we hunt. Not enough hunters do these days...

    What do you guys think?

    Rather see pictures of the guide not the hunter. I can understand if they thought it was just wounded and thought no one was around tracking it. Also it depends on if the second two arrows were put in it under these same conditions. In any case I think the ethical thing would be to give your buddy the bull and keep hunting. I also cant understand a hunter that wouldn't want to shoot his own bull. Makes no sense to me.

    Game processors near Payson?

    Cant remember his name but the guy who lets you hang meat in his locker in Young will butcher for you. If I remember correctly he has a sign on the left hand side a little before or after the turnoff for the airport as you are coming into town.

    Robot Vacuums

    Who has one and what kind is it? Seemed like a gimmick at first but now I see there are many manufacturers and pretty popular. They seem pretty pricey. Are they worth it? Having 5 kids make it hard to keep the floor clean, thinking about it for the wife.

    This one for sale from camera land could be an affordable alternative. Looks like a pretty good deal. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/75368-sirui-a-1005-aluminum-compact-tripod-kit-only-10999-limited-time/

    Did you age him? Wondering if he was past his prime and in decline? Definitely unique looking.

    I have them on my expedition. They are good for the money but what I dont like is how if you look at the tread head on you can see the grooves don't go as deep on the three main strips as they do on the "knobs". So when you get down to half tread you have three continuous strips with no grooves in them at all. Hard to explain but if you look close you will see what I'm talking about. I still have them on the front and put cooper discoverys on the back. When the front wheres down the rest of the way im going to stick with the discovery I think. I think that discount owns rights to the discovery so they should always have them. I don't like mismatching so I asked and that's what they told me. Also got Bfg MUDs on my f250 and don't care for how much they chuck rocks when they are new.

    What to do after snake bite?

    Not sure it would for a snake bite. I keep some in the truck just in case I get tagged by a scorpion or stung by a bunch of bees. I think it depends on the type of venom / toxin. Maybe IA born can chime in on this as I'd like to know as well.

    What to do after snake bite?

    This right here is the best advice. My graduate research was rattlesnake venom, particularly Mojave toxin from Mojave rattlesnakes. There can be over 40 different proteins in one venom and they can be both anticoagulants and coagulants. There are proteins that cleave off the antigen binding sites, which makes antivenom or any other antibody formation useless. Modern antivenom is a mixed bag now that its made from goat serum instead of horse serum. Its supposed to be more antigen-specific, which makes them more efficient, but the proteins are smaller, so they pass through your body unattached faster, which causes you to require more of the stuff, which drives your hospital bill up. You get the picture. I've seen the after pics of a guy who placed his hand in ice water and all that was left by the time he got to the hospital were nubs. I've seen the data for the tests using Sawyer Extractors and lesser "venom removal kits" and I've been advocating for 15 years that they are worthless. I used to keep one more to keep my wife happy, even though I knew it was useless. Yes, the best thing you can do is to remain calm and keep your blood pressure down. If its an appendage and you can keep it elevated, that's the best. Its when those proteins mentioned above hit your liver, kidney, or heart that all heck breaks loose internally. I have binders and binders full of venom research articles if anyone wants to see any. I also have a picture from a scanning electron microscope (2000x) showing a protein peeling off the tissue layer that keeps your muscle fibers all in one bundle. Total loss of muscle control.... I have spent quite a bit of time googling and watching youtube videos on DC current being used as antivenom. Do you have any research on this. Dude I know got attacked by a swarm of bees and afterward stuck his fingers in a spark plug on an old truck and he said the burning stopped almost instantly. He got the idea from a reptile magazine in the 90's. The theory is dc current does something to the molecular structure of it or something blah blah blah. I read that it has to be between 10-20k volts DC, to where you can only feel a slight tingling sensation. One video I watched a guy had a hand crank generator and he swears he saved a few peoples lives with the device. I think it was in south america or africa.
  23. Hey guys, just talked to a customer today who helps out with the field days. He said they have been so behind that G&F has hired a bunch of dudes to be doing them now every month. I think this applies at least to the Sierra Vista ones. Not sure about up north.
