    Tripod Guidance

    I have an outdoorsman medium with the pistol grip. It has an intention on the side of the pistol grip that I’ve shot off of. Just pivot the grip to a 90 degree and lay the rifle down. We also have the monfrotto alpha I believe. It comes with a rifle clamp. You can stand behind it to glass and quick detach your optic and attach the rifle clamp. It’s pretty slick. It’s decent quality but probably not the quality of an outdoorsman product. I don’t think the monfrotto would put up with the 20 years of use that my outdoorsman has but for the money pretty good

    Late hunt question

    Mature bucks are easier to kill when they’re not chasing punani anyway. Besides having more time in the field and fewer hunters, the two times I’ve had the late wt tag were disappointments

    Congrats to you guys! A hunt you won’t soon forget! I’m gonna call that gnarly buck 128. Whatever he ends up measuring, he’ll be hard to top! Congrats again on an awesome hunt!

    Oleander removal

    Glyphosate won’t work this time of year as a foliar spray for oleander. Too cool and not actively growing but cutting it to ground level, drill and fill the holes with undiluted glyphosate will kill the stumps. Drill about 1” apart and half inch in from the outer edge of the trunk and a few holes more toward the center for good measure, fill the holes and you’ll kill the stump. This works for most anything

    DIY Home Pesticides

    Second on Suspend SC. Termidor for ants, pretty pricey but a little goes a long way

    WTB - Tamales

    You ever consider making them?

    WTB - Tamales

    For a good tamale that’s about the right price. Before my dad passed, our family tradition in the fall was to make real green corn tamales. Homemade ground white corn masa, roasted, skinned and seeded green chile and cheese. For the work involved, I’d have to get $60 a dozen. I mean just to grind and make the masa was a ton of work!

    WTB - Tamales

    People usually bitch about the cost of tamales until they make em themselves!

    Petition To Prohibit Hound Hunting In Arizona

    This whole conversation is crazy to me. I think you guys who are crying “fair chase” think that lions are an endangered species maybe because they haven’t seen one? If this ban goes through we probably won’t have to worry about our hunting rights being taken away. The game we hunt will disappear. This country is full of lions and when they aren’t controlled, the deer, elk, antelope,pigs etc. will be cleaned out! I’ve seen it happen in the area I live and hunt in. When the hounds men started working on them, the whitetail and javelina came back. Night and day!

    Petition To Prohibit Hound Hunting In Arizona

    I’ve killed 3 lions in my home range and not behind dogs. I’ve been invited by the 2 hounds men I know to go on pursuits but I’ve declined because I’m honestly afraid I’ll fall out of the saddle in the wicked country they go after them in. I just wish they’d kill more of what they catch rather than play with them!

    Tyson vs Paul Fight

    I kinda figured he’d start sliding after the first but dang didn’t I’d see that!

    Tyson vs Paul Fight

    Pretty obvious by the middle of the fight Jake decided to just beat him without really beating him. I dislike him a little less

    Tyson vs Paul Fight

    Tyson/Paul certainly have a high bar to meet! Couple of awesome fights!

    Tyson vs Paul Fight

    Will be cool to see Tyson in the ring again regardless. But dang those Cowboys cheerleaders! The undercards might be more entertaining. Hope I’m wrong!

    Tyson vs Paul Fight

    Pauls right ear gets it in the 3rd I hope Mike puts that azz clown down in the first but who knows whether he’s got the stamina to go too many rounds
