Non-Typical Solutions

If you can't have fun talking about the critters......I saw them referred to that in another Tayassu Tajacu thread.........then what is the fun of it......and in this particular case....I really don't care what the "scientists" say about em.....they are freaking pigs.........go have fun and hunt!!!!

So.....what exactly are we supposed to correctly call them so we don't look so ignorant? ro·dent /ˈrōdnt/ noun a gnawing mammal of an order that includes rats, mice, squirrels, hamsters, porcupines, and their relatives, distinguished by strong constantly growing incisors and no canine teeth. They constitute the largest order of mammals. var·mint /ˈvärmənt/ noun INFORMAL•DIALECT a troublesome wild animal. a troublesome and mischievous person, especially a child. swine /swīn/ noun 1. FORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN a pig. 2. INFORMAL a person regarded by the speaker with contempt and disgust. "what an arrogant, unfeeling swine!" Javelina (Tayassu tajacu) also known as collared peccary, are medium-sized animals that look similar to a wild boar. They have mainly short coarse salt and pepper colored hair, short legs, and a pig-like nose. The hair around the neck/shoulder area is lighter in color giving it the look of a collar. Javelina have long, sharp canine teeth which protrude from the jaws about an inch.

Interesting post and prompted me to check out some of his competition video. This one seriously looks like a disadvantage for Erik competing against a guy in a wheel chair.......but dang.......pretty impressive. Good luck in your search for a release!

In 1990 my family started spending Christmas at Alpine, every year up until my parents passed away in 2009, 18 years in a row, Christmas at Alpine. Big Lake road would be plowed up to what is now Tobaggan hill and then the snow was piled up so deep across the road that there was no "vehicle" traffic. My dad would get bent out of shape when we would try to test our "vehicles" and end up getting stuck in deep snow, but we would still try to drive roads. By the mid 2000's we rarely encountered trouble making it all the way into Big Lake where upon one occassion we saw people ice fishing next to the dam. They had fish and Bud Lights laying all over the ice and I told my boys we would come back the next day and give it a try. We brought our fishing gear.....never having fished ice before.......and successfully failed to catch a single fish! My wife says it was because we didn't bring the Bud Light! If I remember right there was about 8" of ice and it was eriee because the ice made deep crackling noises just randomly. Christmas of 1997, we shoveled off 30" of snow off the flatter part of the roof the first day we were there! Now all the boys are grown up and out of the house so it was just us two kids this year over New Years Eve!!!!

We were given this to review in preparation for a district training! I guess I would prefer more preventative measures but if fit hits the shan I hope to heal that those with the call of duty will respond in a manner that would take an active shooter down as opposed to what is portrayed in this article! It is a long read but very interesting....... http://projects.sun-sentinel.com/2018/sfl-parkland-school-shooting-critical-moments/?fbclid=IwAR3YNXWBWrYYdqnGrzp30CSDAcsc6wNK55G5Gb2ztO-SJydwcKX4c4vy6X0

I only see a picture of a huge buck....question was Wanna see a huge buck? Tell me where, gps coordinates and all so I can get a glimpse of a huge buck!!! Did somebody say awesome looking buck???

Been off the grid for a couple of weeks.....hope all the CWT family has a great new year with many hunting opportunities ahead! Put a smile on your face and go enjoy the life you have every day! Just like the song says.....don't let the old man in....keep hunting, fishing and spending time with the ones you love!!! Happy New Year!!!

First..........nothing better than an outing with your 9 year old! Only Max, the master of animal facts could come up with a poop question like that! Certainly a thought provoking topic😁

Just be sure to glass where the deer are!!! As per a quote by a fairly successful hunter and author!!!😀

Safford to Alpine? Salt River or Mule Creek?

Thanks to everyone for making this site a great place to come swap stories and ideas! I miss hearing from Tony but glad to know you are still around! Merry Christmas everyone and happy hunting!

Can’t complain about this W!!!

Indeed they don’t!!! My dad has been gone ten years this coming March! Miss him every day!

Great speech about life.......

Any good recommendations for a lunch eating spot in Florence? I’ll always be grateful for whoever recommended Macky’s in Payson!!!

I come from an agriculture upbringing and I love my heritage. All the way 7-12 grades involved with FFA and enjoyed that experience and the things it taught me! I ordered this bronze emblem to put on a casket I'm building but was disheartened when I opened up the package to examine it and make sure it was worthy of the project. I get it that we have outsourced so much of what we purchase ever day but of all things..........

This doesn’t answer your question but!

This is so true about many of the laws we have in this country right now....just enforce what we have in place and things would be fine!!!! Borders included!!!

What rcdinaz said........my buddy called in a lion over a rocky bluff and he said all the sudden, there the lion was face to face ten yards in front of him with no indicators, sightings, sounds preceeding the face to face encounter!

If my heater is not putting out any heat is there anything besides the heater core that could be wrong? I got pretty good at changing out the heater core in my old 79 Ford but the videos I've seen so far on this truck scare me!!!

Thanks everybody......eastvalleyjerry hit it.....but damage that radiator cap looks nothing like the 79 Ford ....I was pretty embarrased when I first popped the hood and couldn't freaking find a radiator cap!!! When I bought this truck I swore I wouldn't do any of the work on it, and in my panic for heat I called for an estimate on a heater core replacement.....$1500.00....yikes a far cry from my old heater core, $50 bucks and I install it!!! I love this truck but miss certain things about my old truck that I will never get to do with this truck.....

Exxcept for the -18 degrees.......exactly my problem....
