Broken Wheels

Ha. I'll become competent with that thing one of these days. I doubt I'll ever not get yote fever though, and I think I'll stick with UofAhughes2, as it implies that I can at least partially read. Not just resigned to the Picture section like most asu fans. Too funny young fella, too funny! Surprised no other ASU/UofA folks didnt jump on that comment? Maybe neither school promotes reading?

Recently made a transaction with Bocephus25 on CWT and as expected it turned out just fine thank you Fred! I was selling a pair of binoculars and instead of his buying them sight unseen I had a friend of his coming into town take them to him to try out! He lived quite a ways away and didn't seem like a problem to me, just a matter of trusting a fellow hunter and as I said, it all worked out in the end! He loved the binocs, sent the money for them back to the valley with the same friend and I was paid in full! Too bad the rest of society can't still oblige one another based on our word without pictures, background checks, references and a copy of our birth certificate! Thanks again Fred and hope we meet someday...

uofahughes2 I would suspect this here comment will garner some regionally biased attention real quick like but had your name possibly been ASUhughes2 that there lethal tupperware I sold you would be making you look like Davy Crockett by now with them coyotes! Just saying young fella. just saying... Let the games begin....

Too many tripods in the closet and critters at the taxidermy my friend! John C keeps me posted of your incredible success in the field!

'Chef' Oh yeah and Kirk....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! (He was able to celebrate his 50th Birthday up in the Kaibab!) Chef, thank you for making my 50th one of my best birthdays ever and hope to be up there for 30 more birthdays God willing oh and yes Duane willing too of course!!

Just wanted to drop a few lines down regarding my first opportunity to hang out in the Kaibab with some very special people! Firstly I want to thank Allen Taylor for inviting me up to stay in his tent with his son Travis and a couple other good people! Allen was once again in the camp of the very well known Kaibab guru Duwane Adams, and all I can say is if Mr. Adams is as good an outfitter as he is a person he has to be one of the best, if not the best outfitter ever! Seriously folks, my brief time with Mr. Adams, his son Luke, Chef from this site and Mark Bollinger was one of my most favorite experiences in hunting 40+ years. For as known accomplished hunters as these guys are I was made to feel comfortable right away, there was no self bloating of story telling and a very humble atmosphere altogether! I may sound sickening to some of you but for a 50 year old man to come away feeling this good about an experience and I didn't even have a tag that has to say something! Again, thank you Allen for this wonderful experience and also for being a good friend!

You the MAN Allen and Travis, great spending some time with you coming back to the valley together (minus the flat tire) and learned you are stand up young man and will be one to ride the river with for sure! Great job!!

Just spent my first weekend with my new best friend and our dog Charley, a queensland heeler/border collie mix! What an eventful day and a half to say the least! First off, props to Nannie for her ability to remain constantly at the ready for everything a 5 1/2 year old throws at you both verbally as well as non stop action. My Littleman as we call him is a very special young man (aren't they all when they are yours?) and doesn't really get into any real trouble other than possibly not listening to his Papa when he should, but we worked that out as well this weekend! The short trip from east Mesa to Tonto Village under the Tonto Rim was an hour of non stop questions from the Littleman and boy was that a show of things to come. I never realized how many times someone could ask why but I know now! We made it in one piece to our campsite and immediately had to go "Ranger-ing" as Caden calls it! So off we went towards Preachers Canyon in our Polaris Ranger and in 10 minutes max he was ready to go back and do something else???? So we went a little further, let the dog run out some of his energy and the entire time Caden was yelling "Papa where's Charley, where's Charley?" over and over! I finally asked him what's the big deal and he told me Nannie had talked to him about taking care of Charley cuz if something happened to him she was going to kick Papa's butt! So that is why the little turd was so worried about the dog, so we loaded him in the front seat and rode back to camp, dog and boy happy together and petting and licking one another all the way back! BTW - dogs are a great substitute for when you don't have clean wipes for a 5 1/2 year old! We get back to camp and in between all the why's we played washers, baseball, army trucks, cowboys n Indians, target shooting the bb gun, war game of cards and not once did the Littleman ever want to take a nap! What's up with that? Don't kids always take naps? He was cool about eating though, cold pizza for lunch and then again for dinner and yes breakfast Sunday morning but I had to warm that slice up on the grill cuz he was cold! As night approached the Littleman was exicted to of course build a campfire, do the Smores thing and Papa tell him scary but not too scary stories around the fire! Then he wants to hear the elk bugle but once he hit the sleeping bag it was all over. Oh ya, as usual he wants to sleep in his own bag until Papa climbs into his way far away from him (arms distance) and it's "Papa I think I am going to sleep in your bag with you" and there goes a decent nights sleep! Not once did he ever hear an Elk nor the 20 or so coyotes at first light and each time I attempted to wake him he resembled his Nannie when I try to wake her for anything! Scary but true so I alone heard the Elk frolliking around most of the night between dogs barking in TV. As I lay there I reflected back on my time when I was also 5 and was with my Father and it was a real nice evening of reflecting of my own childhood and my Father taking me outdoors as well as loving the feeling of this Littleman sleeping alongside me totally secure in his Papa's sleeping bag and arms, oblivious to all teh "scary" things around him! Charley was right next to us both listening to all the night sounds reassuring me he too would watch over this special little boy. The stars were out in force so as I was routinely kicked every 10 minutes or so by the sleeping monster next to me I dreamed of many more days and nights like this with my grandson, hoping I would always do the right thing by him and allow him to grow into a respectable, honest and loving young man. Before the roosters in TV could crow the Littleman was waking his Papa who had jsut falling asleep I think to let me know it was indeed morning and time to get up! I instructed him quietly that it was still early and the sun wasn't even up yet which is his que when in town its time to get up so he laid back down and was fast asleep in minutes or less much to my pleasure! Sunday went like Saturday, full of questions, learning things like putting sneaks on innocen, totally safe birds with his trusty BB gun and dog Charley, another ride in the Ranger this time not once asking to go back. One thing we did encounter that was the first of I would think many was we visited a disc up behind TV and I was showing Caden how it worked and then we decided to have him clear the mesh screen on top so the rainwater could get through to the tank below. I am sure I told him where he could stand and not stand but in his zest to be a real game and fish officer like his Uncle Jarrod he stepped on the access portal and for whatever reason it caved in taking Caden with him but only to his shoulders as his walking stick was in his hands and broke the fall. Of course Papa screams Caden in fear and he screams Papa in fear but no crying or freaking out and the littleman held on and climbed up out of the hole by himself. Papa's heart slowed back down and the Littleman actually continued to clean up the mesh though it was obvious he was a little shook up! We returned to camp, played some more games, loaded up and headed back to town where he of course had to tell his Nannie and Mommie how tough he was on the disc but for some reason they were not so receptive to the story and gave Papa the hairy eyeball! Hum? All in all it was a great first trip out and I am excited to spend more trips with my favorite friend and buddy and yes our dog Charley too! Hope this story didn't bore too many of you but I know a few who will appreciate it as much as I did! God bless all of you and as always, take a child hunting or camping, you will benefit from it as much or more than they will!

Man I think I could start a book on the trials and crack ups of a new Grandfather and his grandson folks! Won't bore you with details but had our first squirrel hunt together and lets just say his response to the first squirrel to fall out of a tall tree was "woooooooow that was so cool"! My hunting partner and I were beaming from ear to ear with pride and thankful his first response was a positive one! He scurried down the hill to pick it up, hesitated and called his 10 year old friend to come see it, though we suspect he wanted her to pick it up but he snagged it up and walked up the hill holding it as far out from his little tiny body as he could but was beaming as much as we were! Sure wish I had started a journal on this young fella because he has really changed who I was and without even trying! When ya'all say "take a kid hunting" I get it now, I really get it! God bless all of you at CWT (Amanda and family including 4 legged people)and all of you good people as well who come to this site daily to stay caught up on eh important things in life! Merry Christmas to all and pray for our military folks around the world for their safety and some peace on earth even for a brief time this Christmas!

"Decent price" is a loose term so you may get a better response if u stipulate a price range. I happen to have a lever action 44 mag in a model 94 Winchester is why I am only suggesting this.

Pretty sure it is an 07

70# bow and 29.5" draw length.

Would you happen to know the weight of the roof rack and what it came off of please? Considering putting it on my fiberglass shell to haul more junk like thats what I need, is more junk to haul on a hunt right? :-) thank you...
