Arizona Griz

Southern Arizona ranchers have a lot more to worry about than a few wolves across the border.

I just had a Vapor Trail put on. I am happy with it so far.

I thought that was NM from the background. I was east of Roswell about a month ago and there was no more vegetation there than is shown in your picture. They are in one heck of a drought. Congratulation to your son on a very nice antelope.

Good for him. Congratulations.

Very nice antelope. Congratulations.

I agree about the Mountain Lion.

My guess is around 12" and my guess on score is around 127-130" gross. If the "unofficial" green score has already been posted then I'm sorry and I'll shut up. That's just my guess is all. WHAT A BRUTE!!!!!! That thing is the screen saver on my phone, I LOVE IT! 11 2/8" inside spread. 135+ gross.

Very nice and big. Congratulations.

Congratulations on one fine antelope. I don't think an antelope has been taken from that unit with a bow for quite some time and if so sure hasn't been very many.

Congratulations on a very fine animal.

Very nice buck, congratulations. Sure is a hot season this year.

I do at home. At work now.

All good points. I have been in NM for the last 10 days in 95-100 degrees with 5 Yeti coolers. The ice all melted within 3-4 days even covered up with quilts. Next time I am going to try the dry ice method.

I have the Garmin 60csx. I have three different topo maps of Arizona not including the land ownership topo map on one card.. On another card I have three NM topo maps. They no longer make it since it had been replaced by the 62 series. I really like the unit especially the larger color screen over their old standard etrex series.

Very nice buck. Congratulations.

Congratulations on your antelope. Very nice indeed.

I have known Jerry for a long, long time. He has always loved to mount antelope.

You don't actually overwrite the MapSource topo map. You just choose the map you want from the drop down bar on the left side of the screen when MapSource is open on your computer for computer viewing after it has been downloaded to the computer. After it is loaded to your Garmin GPS WITH and other programs you might use (I have about 5 or so) you just go into the map page of the GPS and click on which map you want to use and view.

Congratulations on one fine bruin.

That is one great historic picture.

I hate to see any animal hit by an automobile if that's what killed it. Hopefully it lived a full life.

Excellent pictures.

Since mine is a 6 speed manual I down shift every time I slow down. I only have 40K miles on it and am on the original brakes.

Blake, is your fuel mileage taken from the overhead console or is it hand calculated? The reason I ask this is the fact that most if not all later model Dodge diesel overhead consoles are off by as much as two mpg on the high side. Now my other pickup, a 07 Dodge Megacab with a Hemi, console is dead on.

I know you asked for 08 and newer info but here is mine anyways. Keep in mind that 07 and newer diesels have much more smog crap on them. I have a 06 Dodge 1 ton SRW 4 door 4WD long bed with the Cummins 5.9 and a 6 speed manual. It is stock. I have got as much as 21 mpg empty but usually it is around 18 - 19. Towing a 8500lb toyhauler it drops to under 10. This is running at 75mph. With diesels the faster you go the worse fuel mileage you will get. Same with bigger tires. It is not a daily driver. I have had it 5 years and it only has 40,000 miles on it. I haven't had any problems with it at all. I have pulled the hill on I-8 15 miles east of Yuma at 70 mph in 5th gear. It is one long hill. I will say the truck does not lack for power. I don't win any races from a stop light since I am running thru 3 gears before I get thru the intersection while pulling the trailer but it makes up for it on the hills. I can only imagine what it would be like if I put a moderate chip in it. I might some day just to get the fuel mileage up a mile a gallon or two.
