    Why do they keep doing this?

    Society is broken for all the reasons above and the family fabric is torn for far too many young people in this divided country! Fathers ( if present) are too busy with their faces in their phones rather than being involved with their kids, knocking heads and kicking butt when needed!

    Lake Pleasent Boating Accident

    I grew up fishing that lake. The last 10 years I lived in the valley I wouldn’t even go close on the weekends. Sad that lake has turned into such a dangerous place.

    Polaris extended warranty and service plan

    My General is the 4th Polaris machine I’ve owned since the late 90s. No major component failures. Besides regular maintenance, I’ve replaced half a dozen or so cv boots. Personally I would never purchase the extended warranty

    Motor oil question

    I’ve changed my own oil on everything I own for 20+ years. The last time I had it done it was done by Big O and like I always did I got home and popped the hood just to check fill level and when I did I noticed the radiator shroud was cracked with a little oil on it and oil fill cap was gone. The tech obviously left the filler cap on the shroud and slammed the hood. A few months later a friend of mine had another outfit change the oil in their suv and they put a filter on that was too long, steering linkage caught the end of the filter and tore it off and 2 blocks down the road the motor started knocking! Probably took 50000 miles off the life of that motor!

    Motor oil question

    I would think you’d be fine. I use 5w-40 as a substitute for 0-40 in my General

    Anyone who runs a business trying to hire good employees is finding out that most of the responsible, intelligent, hard working ones are in business for themselves!

    Help with cost of building a shop/garage

    Depending on whether you’re going to have it insulated, sheet rocked, electrical etc., that might be a good price with today’s climate.

    Feeling a bit discouraged

    Definitely easier said than done but as these guys have said try not to look at the antlers. My archery skills are a work in progress but what has helped me a lot when bow hunting and rifle hunting is the 4 7 8 breathing technique. Look it up. Hard to believe how much it will calm the nerves and settle a racing mind. I try to start concentrating on my breathing from the beginning of a stalk

    SOLD - Nikon P-223 Riflescope 3-9x40 (with scope rings)

    Bump for a great AR scope for the money. Zeroed mine in and then went straight out to my 400 yard dinger and center punched it. Turrets track well too. GLWS

    Wtb muzzle cap

    I believe I’ve got one you can have. You in Tucson I’m assuming? I can get ahold of you later today if I find it and you still need it

    Exhaust Shop?

    Dude that sucks! Hard to believe these pukes have the nuts to make the kind of racket it takes to cut one off! I haven’t had to have any work done in a while and don’t know where your at but I’ve only used Mighty Muffler on Cavecreek in Phoenix. They were referred to me probably 25 years ago. Great guys!

    Ward's Outfitters

    I met him a few years back and have multiple mutual friends. Definitely a down to earth not full of himself guy and never heard a bad word. You’re right if this is a first offense I too feel bad for him for the avenues this will open or close. We small business owners of all types need to pay attention!

    Ward's Outfitters

    If he omitted cash paying clients on his report, dept of revenue will likely be involved, then as chit runs downhill, one or two of the 80k irs agents Biden is hiring will be contacting him. They could go back on him ten years looking. He’ll be too busy to hunt

    Chevy Mechanic on here?

    Have you looked at the max airflow sensor? If something makes it passed the air cleaner and gets caught on that fine wire, the engine can run the way you’re describing

    Saw this on Instagram...what’s your take?

    no I’m not suggesting any less or more honesty with draw hunters. My opinion is that mandatory reporting can’t work because there’s no talk that I’ve heard of on how to force people to be honest about what happens in the field on that hunt. So reduce the number of hunters by a draw system from the get go.

    Saw this on Instagram...what’s your take?

    Certainly it asks but how many are truthful and how many actually submit their survey? And how do you force them to submit. I by far have found way more archery deer kills that we’re not retrieved than rifle kills. This I feel will not get better
