    67 Buick Skylark

    Was my first car given to me in 1981, I thought maybe someday I would get it all fixed up nice but I don't have the talent or the money to do it. Does not run, has been sitting for probably 20 years, in its day it was a smooth ride and my wife even married me after seeing this beauty. Pretty sure the engine is done but I am no mechanic, I was driving it to Show Low to get it tags and it started clanking, had to tow it back to the spot it rests now. It is full of dirt and dust but maybe somebody has a use for it. Make me an offer and come get it located here in Snowflake.

    It Only Takes ONE

    I still enjoy blowing on a hand call and feel better about things when I finally get one to come in, but I really like the variety the electronic offers and the ability to just sit still and watch. Plus their focus is on the call instead of me and my moving ways. I like my Sceery as well and remember well growing up thinking there had to be a better reed than the Circe had or I needed to figure out how to keep my spit out of them. Lots of fun for sure.................

    It Only Takes ONE

    Coyote calling has always been one of my more favorite things to do. Growing up I lived in a rural area that saw little pressure and FoxPro had not yet come along although the Johnny Stewart tape players were around. Anybody with a sqawker mouth call could call in a coyote. You didn't need to wear camo, or have any scent cover. I used to call coyotes on the way to school. As the years have zipped along, my kids have little faith in the stories that I tell of calling back in the day and honestly I have not produced as the stories of yore would profess. After what seems like ten years or more of just plain having bad luck, no time....whatever the excuse I can come up with for not calling in and putting the smack down on a coyote................yesterday we finally got it done. Using the .17 Remington that my son built for me and the FoxPro Scorpion that my wife gave to me a coupe of years ago, we finally found a coyote that gave us the opportuninty. As I saw this coyote coming in I whistled to Cole to try and get his attention for a shot, but that stopped the coyote at about 40 yards. As he turned I put the crosshairs on the back of his head and it was all over. I love that .17 Remington. Bad cell phone pic but hey......I am not ready to retire from coyote calling. I call this one dumbdog cause he broke a drought like no other and once again I want to call more than ever.

    WTB A Pistol for the Little Lady

    There is a lady close by in the Snowflake area that teaches concealed weapons course. She highly recommends that you take the course first trying out different styles of pistols and then going and buying the pistol your wife likes. She provides several different styles through the training to give her options. Her biggest thing is "Men, don't try to buy your wife a gun that you like!!!"

    I'm new to the forum

    Big mistake signing up on this site.......it will get you in trouble for not doing your chores at home, surfing while at work and cause you anxiety from all the fun hunts other people get to go on and the animals they see.............welcome to the site...........
  14. The parcel is about 30 or so minutes northwest of Ashfork. You sound familiar with the area - you take seven ranch road north out of Ashfork and it turns into forest road 142; which will take you right into Westwood ranches shortly after you cross under the BNSF. Once you are on the ranch, its about 10 minutes to my parcel. Mount Floyd & Round Mountain are part of the Westwood Ranch - It is beautiful beyond words.... I so love this area - but have no choice in the matter of selling the property. Thank you for the water info - much appreciated; I didn't know. Have only camped up there a few times. Have seen unbelievable amount of elk up there ! I actually was pretty bent out of shape when I heard all that area started getting parceled up.......right in the heart of some great hunting country. Absolutely a beautiful place to own 40 acres.......and there are some monster bucks and bulls out there....
  15. How far north of Ash Fork is that property?? Most people out there have to haul water and have a cistern set up of some sort. Water via well is next to impossible, they have a well in Ash Fork but it is at an unbelievable depth if I remember correct. We hauled water and it is just a way of life that you get accustomed too. I would love to retire on 40 in that area some day and I would haul water too.....close access to some of the best AZ has to offer in wildlife.....good luck on your sale, wish I had 30K I could spend on something like that.

    ruger 1911

    Set up a target 25' away. Point the gun at the bullseye with a firm two handed grip and taking your time see how close you can come to the center without using the sights. Do this for a couple of boxes of ammo to get used to the gun so pointing becomes a natural thing. The gun will be accurate enough right out of the box and after you are comfortable with it you can always try to shoot itty bitty groups if that's your thing. I will give that a try....thanks......

    Got one for Christmas from my great wife who always gets me good guns. I am not a pistol shooter and have put about 100 rounds through it. Definitely need some coaching on shooting pistol, but it is a sweet looking gun..............

    Culture change

    Your words reminded me of 50 years ago at my grandpa Paces house. Hex barrell 30-30, which I now own, was always in the corner of the kitchen right next to the back door. In my own house growing up, in the closet, next to the back door there was always a 20 gauge shotgun and a lever action 243. There was always a rifle in the ranch truck. These guns were there for a purpose, usually to take care of varmints that came in to pester livestock. We all grew up knowing how to use them and what damage they would do to an animal. We respected the use of the weapon. Today, that is so removed from our society, great words Coach. I feel sorry for my kids that they have to grow up in such a restricted atmosphere.
