    Ranger vs General vs Razr

    We had a Pioneer and General in elk camp this last year. For the money I would take the Pioneer every time. Quieter, rode just as nice on the trail with stock shocks and just as much power. It is nice being able to drop the back seats and have a full bed for gear or an animal or ride 5 people if just riding around.

    Pop-Up Campers, good or bad idea?

    I went the opposite direction. I had a popup for years and used it for family camping and hunting. But when I finally decided to get a side by side I had to make a choice. I ended up selling the popup and buying a wall tent. I couldn't tow both. I don't see myself ever getting a toy hauler either. I really like the wall tent. I have much more room than I did in the popup.

    How Long Do You Glass?

    Depends on the glassing area. If you are lucky and can find great glassing spots you can stay in the same spot or at least within a close distance and glass feeding areas first thing in the morning and only have to move a short distance to start glassing deer moving into bedding areas. I took Dwane Adams glassing class several years ago and was amazed at how many deer we glassed from the one spot. We glassed until about 9am watching deer feeding and working their way over ridges to bed down. He had us flip around and start glassing the opposite direction and it wasn't long before different deer started feeding over ridges and eventually bed down. I have hunted other areas where we only glass for a short time and then move a ways and do it again.

    Anyone else get their Stimulus Check?

    Just checked and mine is supposed to be mailed out on the 22nd. Better late than never I guess.

    OHV decal

    I was on the phone for over an hour this morning dealing with the exact same thing. What a pain in the rear. And when I was online trying to renew my SxS it was coming up for $260. Hopefully it won't be like this next year. For some reason it only let me renew for 1 year instead of 2 or 5 like regular vehicles.

    Anyone else hate HOAs?

    I am not a big fan of them but like AzDiamondHeat stated they have their purpose. Most people never look at the CC&R's when they buy the house and then complain non stop about them afterwards. How can they see into your back yard to see if you have a garden or not? They have no right to step foot on your property. Funny story, my wife turned me in to our HOA on our last house. I had an Isuzu Trooper out front that I only used for hunting. She got tired of it sitting out there so she turned me in. So I pulled in to the driveway and got another violation because the tags were expired and they called it abandoned vehicle. So I called and asked if they could step foot on my property and when they said no I backed my Trooper into the driveway and called it good.

    Build your own pool

    It is actually code now. The pool pump has to be variable speed. Only a water feature can have a regular pump still. That is how people get past paying the extra $. They say that they are replacing a water feature pump and then install it on their filter.

    Build your own pool

    I have done a couple on my own. Our current pool is the first one I had a company do. I am too busy with work to take the time off when needed. Like Redman I have all of the names and numbers of the companies I used. Our lists are probably pretty similar. Most of the trades will also give you cash discounts. So you can even save a bit more. Our last pool was over $50K to have done and I ended up doing it for $32K.

    Anyone else get their Stimulus Check?

    Nothing here yet. Just checked the site and they don't have any info for me. I pay every year.

    Post up your success in tags

    Another late rifle bull tag. Two years in a row. I guess they felt bad for me having to shoot a small bull last year.

    Official Official Hit Thread

    Well looks like I got lucky and drew another rifle bull tag. Now to wait and see if it is an early or late hunt.

    Cowboy games

    My dad was a cowboy on a ranch south of Tucson when he was young and told me a story about him roping a javelina one time and his riding partner hog tied it and threw it up onto my dads saddle with my dad in the saddle still. He said it turned into a rodeo real quick.

    Success

    They sure are fun to spot and stalk. Congrats and good job.

    When I see javelina.....

    Those look really good. I had Southwest Meat Processing process my last javelina and they mixed it with pork shoulder. I had chorizo and summer sausage made out of it. Turned out great. I was amazed.

    Anyone in 24B

    If you haven't found any send me a PM. I haven't hunted them for a handful of years but we always saw them in the same place.

    Help from NC

    What rifle do you shoot and at what ranges? That is one thing that you may want to think about also. 300 yard shots are pretty average. And some guys and kids are shooting way past that. Sometimes the canyons don't let you get closer. That said I have shot coues deer at 25 and 85 yards here so it can be done. Unless you are wanting to hunt alone there are good chances you could team up with someone on here also. Makes for a little safer hunt and not quite as lonely. The guys on here tend to be a little more hard core than the average weekend warrior that draws a tag and hunts a couple days without ever stepping foot in the unit before the hunt and not seeing a deer during the hunt. Good luck

    Best place to buy Honda SXS

    I also bought mine from Western Honda. I looked everywhere and they had the lowest prices I could find. And they had great service. I had horrible service at Ridenow just trying to get a quote. They acted like they didn't care at all about doing business with me.
