    Late Kaibab - Almost Time

    I'm certain Flatlander will post pics/story when he gets the time. (I probably shouldn't have opened my big mouth, anyway. Just couldn't help myself.. I'll respectfully shut-up now.)

    Post any Ammo deala or inventory

    Ya, I've got a couple of alerts set with Midway and others so I hopefully get an e-mail when the have availability for something I'm watching. I'll post here as/if I see anything. BTW, tell me more about Bloomberg and Bezos??? I tried to research that and find nothing regarding them buying ammo manufacturing....

    57 years ago

    Was not born yet (3 years later....), but I remember my dad reflecting on it years later and saying sort of the same sentiment Curtis shared regarding Kennedy being 'one of the good Democrats...'. This topic reminds me of the time several years ago that I went through the Boeing Museum outside of Seattle. They had the plane on display that was the actual 'Airforce One' aircraft when JFK was in office. You could walk through it, and they had the sections & compartments sort of blocked-off with plexiglass. As I was strolling through and peered into the bedroom compartment, my mind immediately went to Marilyn Monroe! 😳 Is that bad???? (BTW, if you are ever in Seattle the Boeing Museum is well worth a visit, IMO!!)

    Are the snakes stil out?

    Yup, they are still out. Came across a rattler in the dark evening before last while on a night-hike in Phoenix Mountain Preserve (Dreamy Draw...). Did me the courtesy of rattling a couple of feet out so I could do one of those crazy jump-turn moves! 😂 S.
  11. Dove can & will be found along almost any wash, river bed, or field (Or a dairy, if you're lucky enough to find a contact that has one and will let you hunt.). Excellent spots can be hard to find though, and information on excellent locations is generally held tight. I joined a friend on a mule deer hunt along the Gila river valley SW of Phoenix a couple of weeks ago. If you want to explore a bit, you will likely find a spot or two. Go to Gila Bend, and then head west on I-8. Google Painted Rock, Agua Caliente, Palomas..... There is lots of state/public land that borders cotton, alfalfa, and river bottom. Not 'dairy level' hunting, but there are doves there. This area is just an example. There are areas closer and further. Good luck!

    Remember the 80s in Phoenix

    Miracle Mile is STILL awesome!!! After closing at Park Central they moved to Colonnade for a bit, and are now in a free standing building at 16th Street & Campbell. The Straw sandwich is the best!

    Remember the 80s in Phoenix

    Was 18 in the summer of 83’. Spent a few nights at “teen night” at the Devil House that summer, learning the ropes. 😉🤣

    Remember the 80s in Phoenix

    I remember as a kid in the mid-70s, that Wallace and Ladmo would show-up at the Kearny Pioneer Days carnival each year and hand-out Ladmo bags. Never was lucky enough to score one, though. Fun thread.... LOTS of memories being recalled from the late-70s & early 80s. S.

    Late hunt tactics

    Find an area with as much country as possible between roads (big chunks of roadless land.....). Hike-in in the dark to get as far as reasonably possible from roads. Set-up and glass all day long. Good luck!!
  17. That’s awesome! I took advantage of the holiday and did the same thing. Limits being the norm makes this year a BUNCH of fun!!! Good stuff! S.

    Who hear is a leader/boss?

    +1 on the leader vs. boss. A boss, well 'bosses'.... A boss tells people what to do. A boss monitors and tells workers when they are screwing-up without offer support or help on how not too. A boss places blame on their team, as opposed to 100% support A boss is bossy. LOL A leader motivates & inspires. A leader takes ALL the heat. A leader supports. A leader listens more than they speak. A leader learns. A leader asks their team what else they need to get the work done. A leader breaks-down barriers that their team is facing. Etc.... Good luck in the new job!

    Happy Father's Day

    I usually try to stay away from the 'mushy' topics, but Father's Day and Veteran's Day are the two dates each year that my heart settles firmly on him! He was my hero and a great role model, friend, and mentor. Of course also a great dad! Happy day to ALL dads!!!! S. Circa 1966. Getting ready for a bomb dropping mission.

    Hunters Not Voting

    I got to my polling place at 5AM, and was third in line (Sort of a 'voting nerd' tradition of mine to try to be first in line.... ). Was done by 6:15, so about the same for me.

    Way to go Amanda!!! Thank you

    I've been fortunate enough to get to know Amanda over the last 15+ years. Silently being a good person and living a life centered on positivity and helping others is how she rolls. Truly the epitome of class. S.

    Are the snakes stil out?

    Yes, for me. Both on the early deer hunt last weekend, and quail hunting the week prior. Perfect snake weather right now. Watch your ankles!!!
