Happy Trails

Had a situation where my Son was deployed and while I attempted to forfeit a tag for him it didn't pan out. Obviously, he could not be present and complications with access to tech for completing the application and mailing it in with a physical tag while it was somewhere in a storage unit state side. When I called, there were no provisions beyond the policy for a case like this. In hiensite, one could proactively complete and keep said paperwork on hand for someone if you had the forethought and means to do so in advance. BPs lost, tag wasted. Sharing for awareness. A hunt permit-tag must be surrendered prior to the close of business the day before the start of that particular hunt. *Note: for the holidays a drop box will be available at each regional and Phoenix headquarters office. An applicant who has purchased PointGuard will present the original hunt permit-tag to be surrendered, along with a completed tag surrender application form, in person to any customer service representative at any of the department’s statewide office locations, or by mailing the hunt permit-tag and tag surrender application form to AZGFD, Attn: Draw, 5000 W. Carefree Highway, Phoenix, AZ 85086.

True. If a printer is available, you have access to it and a wifi connection. (Rarity depending on your post) Then there is the whole lead time of the mail service. If it came up again, we would have it all prepared in advance. JIC

I have an older VA5 with some miles on it. Had an issue with the arm after knocking my tripod over. Reached out to Suriu to see if I could order and pay for a part. They sent me the part I needed and DYI instructions for FREE. I was not expecting that. Sharing the support experience for consideration. 100% on the link recommendation from MMACFIVE above.

7.3 International Harvester = Solid. 6.0 successor....not so much. These are getting hard to find, especially a one owner rig. She looks good in green!

Agree this could be an earlier model. Pretty good buy though from my view if it is a runner and no issues with the clock spring or cylender head and exhaust manifold. I spy good tires, Rubicon wheels, upgraded bumpers, roof rack, etc. 130K is lowwww miles for a 4.0. Value used to rest around 4K on these without upgrades, then a few years ago that boosted up X2 and then some. If I had the stash, I would jump on this. It will sell quick. GLWTS 97 - 99 are the XJ holy grail but the earlier years are no slouch.

I am in Peoria

I have done three Couse skulls in copper and two in bronze, both with patina applied. Using quality products (Actual metal coatings) from Sculpt Nuevou. A unique way to time capsule a memory. Interested in doing this for others as a little hobby. If you have a clean euro that you would like to have done, I would be happy to do one at cost of the materials in turn for your review here. No idea what to charge for the service thereafter and open to suggestions. This is a multi-day process is to clean, prime and the apply three coats of metal. Finish with patina for an aged look (If desired), buff and apply a matte clear coat. About a week to allow proper drying cycles between steps. I can do the euro too, but prefer to work with a clean dry skull and just focus on the metal application. Attached are some pics for reference, with and without patina applied.

The jaw bones make a pretty cool pipe stand or other purpose if you glue them back together. Set the skull atop the jaw if you are doing a shelf or desktop presentation. Example (Rubberbanded)

Shipping first or payment first? 🤔

This is the way...

If one cannot get the cant they are seeking in a rail, maybe consider the Burris XTR Signature rings? They come with inserts that can adjust cant from 0 to 40 MOA. The inserts look like cam bearings and the cant is adjustable 360 degrees, which can solve other problems... I just set my. 300 Win up with these rings and plan to put them on my RUM in the future.

Browning Part # 12511 30mm Intermediate Height Used, but like new. Went another route. $40 or $30 if you are a first responder or veteran.

Camped off dye loop road for a week. Quiet Tue through Thur, then it was a circus for sure. Saw the same, no regard whatsoever. We packed out three bags off trash and put out fires in camps near us after the happy campers left. Smokey the Bear would be sad.

Spied this little ghost last year. Dude looked like lady until I dug out the spotter. Possible record contender for smallest spike buck ever unless you have pics of a smaller one to share. 😉

Received mine and plan to give it to my Son as a Christmas gift for his first and future Couse. I'm impresses and will be ordering more of these plaques. This here is a high quality item Clark! 🎄

I just ordered one of these for my Son as a Christmas gift. Discounted AND free shipping! It looks like a great product and I cannot wait to see this on the wall. Thank you for posting this up for awareness.

Get the "smaller"? one's antleres filled & recolored and bronze what is left of the skull or maybe even copper with green patina for a classic AZ look. It's not a bad DIY.

I picked up a used one at a garage sale on the cheap that needed a heating element and a fan. Parts are readily available and it is easy to work on these. So much YouTube help to lean on too. That smoker and I became pretty tight pals for the first few weeks until we went Vegan. Joke. My Son picked up a Pit Boss, same concept but seems better designed overall compared to my Traeger. I learned just this week that the neighborhood rats can easily access the grill through the stove pipe so we keep it covered now. Happy Grilling / Smoking!

So much Yes! Haha

I had a twist with my deer tag last year. Got stuck at work, out of town for the duration and called G&F. I was told I had to be at the office in person to fill out a form and use PG. So, lost all my points and started over this year. 😢 Not sure how true this is, but it is what I was told on the phone.

Hats off to our youth hunters and glad to see another inspired and ready to go afield with family and friends as mentors. Attend all the youth camps you can, take lots of pictures and live every moment to the fullest.
