Non-Typical Solutions

About 10 years ago I was about to leave for my first ever elk hunt when my live-in GF called to say good bye on her way from Cottonwood up to Flag. She's babbling away about her work day or something and stops in the middle and goes, "Ohh, my god! what's this guy doing?! Ohh my God!!..... " Static noises, weird sounds on the phone and the call disconnects. I must've called her back about 20 times before finally a stranger answered her phone and asks if it's Matt? And then tells me she'd just rolled her car into the ditch and they were loading her in the ambulance. Friggin big rig started swerving around in it's lane and than came over right on top of her as she was passing. she wen't off onto the shoulder to avoid making contact, lost control and ended up in the ditch. Trucker never stopped and was never tracked down. She got banged up a bit but ended up being fine. My elk hunt never recovered though... Man that's horrible can't imagine glad she is ok most don't survive when it comes to tangling with a big rig.These guys are outta control as much as I'm not for new laws and such they should be restricted to the right lane only, and run reduced speeds. IMO That there is a nightmare!!! Glad she survived!!!

Certainly can't complain about what a great job he did of posing for your cam....great setup you had to get all those pictures and thanks for getting the blood boiling......great looking buck!!

Up against the wall redneck mother.....plus a pretty long list of others........

I was thinking about this too.......or just make sure of the first shot!!! Good info, I liked the info about cleaning.....probably don't clean my guns nearly enough!!!

Speed......and if you can't monitor your own speed and abide by the speed limit then you end up over the rail!!! I find it funny that none of us like laws but how many of us abide by the speed limit? Why not monitor our own behavior instead of always relying on the "law" to fix the problem??? I play with the math on it all the time......like, what does 5mph faster than the speed limit really do for you as far as getting there faster?......5 minutes???5 miles? What I hate worse than anything is getting passed on a double line......that does put me into pissed off mode!!! Idiots!

Congratulations!!!

Whats your favorite David Allen Coe song......he had some dandies!!! We are a blessed people to be so lucky and may we continue to be able to enjoy the freedoms we have come accustomed to!!!

Only in my dreams a buck like that!!! Friday morning here we come!!!

D@M no wonder I can't shoot a group!!! Great info!!!

I have had this one for about 35 years! Time has definitely expanded the square inches exposed which means that it requires daily attention to keep it out of direct and indirect sunshine! No special controller needed usually a damp wash rag keeps it maintained! It has been known to overheat but other than that it can hold its own even with the newer models!!!

Any details on exactly where eastern AZ??? That is a cool picture and if you don't mind what is his name??

Looks like some bucks worth chasing......cool pics!!

Happy Birthday Donkey.......good luck with your hunt.......many more to come!!!

Tonga??? Cool picture

I cant see that far did you hit the target? Nice job good luck!

Casey...you had a way of telling the story that made it funny.....but it ain't so funny....nice buck!!!

Cool beans.......good luck out there I am comfortable up to 80 yards but I still have two weeks to work on it and have decided my weight ain't going anywhere!!!

Just like most of the left of center discussions we have on here.........new crop, new weeds every year!!! Solution still the same either a hoe or weed killer that kills everything else with it!!!

Ewhaela..................go to your grocery store parking lot and look at all the carts parked all over the place when there is a rack for them to go into 10 feet away.........and people are too lazy to put them in the rack.....and you want them to behave in a respectful manner out in the woods??? Culture and flat rude lazy, white, purple, green, black don't matter what color they are all out there!!!

One thing I really enjoy when we go down to the big city is pulling up to a stop light and have the car next door bumping so loud that it is making my rig vibrate. I roll down the window and turn Willie Nelson up as loud as I can get it......and then the bird flys.......makes me laugh. How about that camp that is playing music and shooting guns at all hours........had that happen way off in the middle of nowhere Smoothing Iron down in unit 27........the next night those same SOB's from Nogales were the same people who came out and helped rescue my mother in law who had gone out for a hike and could not make it back on her own. I was guilty of casting stones one night and having to eat crow the next night. I feel your pain and wish every time I went out camping I could have a peaceful starlit night with only the coyotes howling and the owls hooting and scaring the crap out of me, but that just isn't reality!!! Better luck to you out there next time!!!

Barney Fife?

Singer hopefully doesn't sell another record or sing in another joint!!! http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2016/10/11/singer-takes-knee-during-national-anthem-at-sacramento-kings-game/ Course....it is Sacramento which is a rocks throw from the 48'ers!!!

Many thanks for people like you and your son who put it on the line for our freedoms!!! Hard to figure disrespecting the flag that represents the freedoms these spoiled brats enjoy!!!
