    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!

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

    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!

    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

    Pretty goats!

    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.

    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

    IMO
  20. Sky Island junkie

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

    Well yes if you want to call it that. For the honest hunters that do report, but don’t notify the dept of the half dozen they hit in the gut and continued hunting until finally killing one. Another reason accurate reporting is not possible. We’re headed for a draw or we should be
  21. Sky Island junkie

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

    No. Mandatory reporting is better than a wild guess for sure. My point is make it work or that too is a wild butt guess. My point on more officers is if there’s more of a presence of law enforcement possibly more will feel they’re being watched and will comply with the rules. Like was said earlier about surveys and other states. Would be very easy for G$F to make people complete a survey from prior year before submitting current year app. But they don’t. So if for general draw hunts they can’t get a true account of actual harvest numbers, how will they be able to count on this mandatory reporting system?

    Right. Bear and lion have been a mandatory (voluntary) report for a long time and well I think we’ve all heard enough stories. I have a feeling a lot of lions and bears don’t get reported unless going to a taxi and feel without more enforcement, deer will be the same. Without spending a chit load more of the dept revenue on more officers who knows what that solution is

    It’s a guessing game
  24. Sky Island junkie

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

    Right. How many buddies will turn one another in for dumping a cat and pitching it in the canyon bottom or shot a bear in a closed unit and reported the kill in a neighboring open unit? Good luck with this! Like I said maybe I’m in the minority but spend a lot of time in the field and haven’t seen a manager in years
  25. Sky Island junkie

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

    Yes and I have to wonder why not here. Seems we are completely on the honor system with very little enforcement. I too have sent emails regarding this and other item and boiler plate response. But yes on no completed survey no application!
