We see a bunch up north in unit 8 on the tops of the canyons<never seen them in the bottoms. for abour 8-10 years I hadnt seen one. kid finds them all the time when were out to the point she is bored with them. never see them more than a 4-5 inches long since the 80's found a few in 20c bunchs in crown king and 6a About those frogs in the back yard. dont know about holbrook where you from but back in the 80's after a good couple of monsoons we would hear those all the time around 67th and peoria. once alot of people started moving in we never heard them again. I was told they are those baby colorado toads? by one of the neighbors.

It would be easier if you used a smaller sized adapter than turnign the crank. Like matty said turning the crank is a pain in the butt. and its not needed. plus you will have to take the crank out. and those ends are hardened they are not soft so grinding is almost the only way. have a machine shop make a smaller diameter adapter for the crank end. of goto mcmastercarr.com and buy a sleeve/ bushing to match.

Keep the reloading gear and your hobbies. Kids never stopped my wife and I from doing what we liked to do., we took them with us. our second kid has some major health issues and also has down syndrome. we adjusted around it. still didnt stop us from doing what we did. we took him everywhere with us. he couldnt walk till he was 4 or 5 just carried him everywhere. deer hunting duck hunting etc etc. he enjoyed the crap out of it. at 4 months out 1st daughter spent 2 weeks out in 12awest with us camping under a tarp and bow hunting with me. wife read a book at camp. when I wasnt working I would be at home reloading with the kids in the garage. they loved that stuff. Wife and I had different shifts when I worked days she went to nights and went I went to nights she went to days. one of us always was with out kids 24/7. I never understood why people get all worried about having kids and not being able to do the things they like to do. you can still do them you just bring them along. kid and I used to duck quail and yote hunt all the time. either by me carrying her in her carseat or in a pack. she was like 6-8 months old and called in her 1st fox sitting in her car seat on the big burm off the side of bell road toward the whitetanks. yelling kitty kitty, she called in a bobcat when she was around 3 or 4 Gave her the call and let her make noise. The boy was a little more difficult but we still managed. once we got over that stage of" is it safe" you gotta live , when you have kids you live through there eyes and tahts the coolest part. you will find time to do things you like. luckly my wife is cool and didnt mind, have friends that once they had kids there wifes changed everything. all those guys are divorced, mostly the guys fault the wifes are still cool. . I'm still married 35+ years later with 3 awsum kids that have done everything I have done. I wont fish hunt, reload shooting or go out scouting with at least one of them. Besides taking the kid out hunting with you will give your wife break Delw

2 pigs tags to turkey tags for me and the kid

Shoot brings up a good point. but there are a ton of variables that are involved. cold bores are generally taken to mean cleaned firearms. been shooting pdogs for years an thousands and thousands of rounds. a cold bore will be off a tad how much depends on the firearm, how old or new the barrels is etc etc and believe it or not the shooter. my hunting firearms I go to do a 3-10 shot zero so to speak to make sure nothing changed, then I dont clean the barrel until the season is finished. my yote guns I clean maybe every 10-20 trips. if you clean the barrels on them you have a huge chance at that cold shot being out alot over 500 yards even 300 yards in some cases. if your gun shoots a cold bore that far out where your missing your target at 200 yards and you know its the firearm time for a rebarrel or junk the gun. off hand shooting its definately the shooter not the fire arm unless its really worn out. what few people dont realize its mostly the shooter in most cases on a fresh shot. your body and mind just int ready for the shot, you jump flinch etc etc. even experienced shooters need a few shots to warm up the body and be mentally able to get the shot. I have buddies that clean there rifle after every 5 shots. they have worked up loads in there firearms to minimize cold shots and to know exactly where the rifle will hit at with a clean bore and what to expect will happen with shots 2 -3 etc. the worst cold shot caliber I have ever seen was a varmit 25-06 in both a ruger and a Remington. both shot the same on cold bores using moly bullets. both were broken in the exact same way by the same guy. he hated those firearms thats why I own them. Best thing to do is dont clean the barrel after you sight in until your hunt is finished as far as the mind just shoot alot. to see if your firearm is a sucker for cold shots. clean it shoot it then shoot it alot and dont clean it go out another time and shoot it with out cleaning it you will be surprised. There was a great Article by Rick Jamison around the late 80's about thisl

Better start scouting, you should have when you knew what tag you got drawn for.
-
Kid and I got drawn for 2 of these (2 $50 charges) with only hunters ed bonus points will be the last hunt together for 4 years or more, unless she gets stationed in AZ. was going to put in for buff but her ship date got changed and didnt want to loose a ton of money. rifle bear rifle pig shotgun turkey. more than likely a pig and turkey tag as I cant see a 6b spring bear tag with only 5 tags in each unit, but hey stranger things have happened

Just After 911 I sold a shitpot (more than 75) of firearms to make life easier and pay off some bills. The ones I sold were ones I bought just generic stuff I had to have barrett and mc millian 50's some custom one I built all my ak's, sks's most of my ar's and a ton of bolt guns bunch of pistols including my contenders in super14 with a ton of barrels.. ones I kept anything I got as a gift( dad and I always bought each other 3-5 guns a year) ,, all shotguns, ruger #1's and all my old stuff I bought as a kid. for the last 5-8 years I been trying to buy back the firearms Ive sold or ones like it. next to impossible. I did get a pair of 10" ruger mkII bull barrel ss and blued pistols. Spur of them moment deal at cabelas on a barrett 50, but backed out on my way back with the cash, just couldnt buy something for 3 times the priced that I got mine for. and yet still had to buy optics. its hard to spend money on guns you once had its just not the same once there gone. Most of my guys are safe queen anyhow except of the yote guns and a few of the O/U shotguns we use for quail.. some guns are fun to shoot but most are fun to just look at and know you have them when you want to shoot them. My winchester 101 I bought new in the 80's never fired a round through it until about 5 years ago went and shot skeet with my Daughter with it to see how it compared to the baretta

Thats a nice looking Shotgun. gotta luv them with Hammers

Keep it , best years they made them was up to 72, then they went to crap. but yt were still good. I dont believe the action is sloppy all 1100's had slop. I have quite a few of them and used them for tournment skeet for 20+ years never had a issue except the oring busting every now and then, even the gas rings re still org. if you went to sell it then decided you wanted another one, your going to be disappointed with anything newer. and the price of good condition ones are pretty high. How bad of condition is it? mind showing pics?, that would make a slight difference in selling it, however you can buy wood for those in really good shape online. forarms are generally the pcs that split cause people tighten the nut way to tight . proper way is to tighten nut till it stops clicking back off 2-3 clicks and your good.

Recommended sounds/calls for E-calling Predators
Delw replied to lamrith's topic in Predator Hunting and Trapping
to those people that do, They can suck it ;) Call anywhere and anytime you want, your more than likely to call in more deer/pigs elk than you think. I use high pitched calls. Lighting jack is a decent one. even though everyone and there brother uses it, it still calls in yotes. anything with a high pitch will get them coming in. I havent had luck with low pitch calls, but thats just me. the fox in distress is a great call also. just remember high pitch calls. We have foxpro we use when bow huntign yotes, for shotguns or rifles I prefer mouth calls. if your down south your going to get lots of foxs so be on your toes. BTW we called in lots of yotes over in wenas , american forks below chinook pass we called in a few lion as well as greenwater area.(im sure you know those areas up in Wa.) all with the circe 3 in one call on the high pitch one -
surprised you didn't grab that "Cougars" butt

You know thats a good question. was it a stand alone cel add-on? it could also be when the forums changed everything to to new format for he new windows and such along with the newer server settings php(the main data servers are upgrading to, due to security and such)) stuff thats when things started going wacky for everyone that had a forum . I know VB when they changed to the news style everything got messed up on the cel side. like azbasszone always ran good on cell as well but the software was 7 years old. when VB did there new format I set up a few boards with it and had nothing but issues on the cel side silly stuff like users are describing here. one I left stock and it worked fine on the cel side. one I played around with colors templates fonts images etc etc and it looked like a garbage dump on the cell side so I changed it back to stock. you'll get it it, just takes time.

Congrats That pic is awsum. you should whats important in the front you and your son. too many people show the animal front and center and then the people in the back. The hunt with family members and or friends is the best part. Nice goat too looks like a FAT one Congrats

Amanda everything looks fine on a pc and works fine. (well except my home pc still wont connect so I cant read the forum unless I am at work cox is still f'd up as we discussed) anyway back to the problem peoples are having. I am assuming on phones? the add is huge on a phone and you have to scroll sideway. other than that everything works perfect ie search etc etc. to fix the ad I think you need to convert the ad pictures to a PNG file instead of a jpg or gif. we had this problem on azbasszone many years ago when the resolutions of computer screens changed like every month. there is also a code that you put in the script to make the file use the aspect of the image to consider with the users screen size. Phones were made for Fagbook, they didnt care about old forums. now the forum companies are trying to make them phone usuable. which is a pain due to so many different phones and NO STANDARDS like with a PC. I dont know anythign about this type of forum just V bulletin. but they all appear to be the same. there might even be a fix for the JPG and GIF images as well now. I believe it use's percentages instead of using a certain dedicate picture size like you have in your code. My phone is an I-phone 5s from long ago. I have no clue how to do screen shots or I would post up a few. I am smart phone stupid and want to stay that way. If I do remember anything else on size issue I will let you know

Those targets were made for trphyhntr, just in time for this years late archery hunts.

The main road just west of redbutte (across highway and a tad south) By powerlines. hunt that area from the fence of the highway to the grass lands. about the 1st barbwire you come across scrubs and sage. climb hills and glass, then north from the power lines until the tall pines. stay out of the pines and the thick junipers too hard to see and hunt. hit all the small canyons especially if there is any rimrock. they lay below the rocks getting sun in the middle of the day. its a fun hunt she will enjoy it as will you. and theres tons of deer in that area.

Hunting with the kid is hard on my legs feet and knees. I just hit the sack early and live with it. then recuperate when I get home. hasnt gotten to the point were I cant hunt cause of the pain. I ended up getting a cot the last to years and its helped a ton.
-
Why not its seems ok to create problems for you. if you dont want them there you have plenty of legal options all in which will have your neighbors panties in a wad including live trapping them. If you dont want them there grow a sack and do something about it legally. trapping shooting. Airguns, supressed weapons archery G&F etc etc

You guys are just jealous cause I still look good for being over 50.
